Great for Large Groups

by Mary

Space held 26 of us really well. Plenty of activities available on property to keep teens busy. Mountain road was not too bad of a drive. Twenty minutes to get to downtown area.

This place is even better than the photos!

by Cidney
It housed everyone on our stay comfortably. You can tell the hosts care a lot about the experience of the guests. It’s plenty to do without even leaving the property!

One of the best locations we\'ve ever stayed in

by - Jacqueline
We took our 6U hockey team to this 6 unit location. We stayed for 4 nights and had a trip we\'ll never forget. We left the property once for a quick drive to the smokies. The other 3 days, we had no desire to leave. The pool, playground, arcade, and convenient seating made hanging out with friends while our kids played fun and stress free. The kids (aged 3 through 13, but most 6) spent a majority of their time in the arcade and pool. Not one kid complained or even needed the adults the entire time! The 6 units allowed for everyone to stay close, yet still have some privacy that you wouldn\'t have in a large home. One of the best, if not the best, location we\'ve ever stayed in!

Great stay for vacation.

by Lina
The resort was beautiful. Very easy access and lots of great amenities. Close to the big cities and fully stocked.

There’s not enough good things I can say about this beautiful home!

by Aubrie
It has everything you could possibly need and in a great location to everything. The separate condos are nice for privacy, and the pool/billiards room are nice for all the fun.

A gamer’s dream!

by Jami
A perfect multiple family retreat! The game room was our favorite spot in the house. We so enjoyed our time as a family reunion! Activities for children, teens and adults!

We loved it!

by Shellraiser
I think the best recommendation I can provide is that we would 100% return to this property. Fabulous hosts, location, and property amenities. Thank you for the opportunity to get my entire family together

Perfect Family Reunion Spot – Fun for All Ages

by Amy
Six families met up for a sort of reunion. 27 of us total with kids ranging from 5-16. Everyone including the adults had a GREAT time. This place is so cool with lots to do and very is so well decorated and maintained. The hosts were super responsive. We would highly recommend this property!

Ideal Group Stay for Large Gatherings

by Chris
We needed a place capable of accommodating 26 people for the Challenge Youth Conference at the LaConte Center in Pigeon Forge, TN. The six suites allowed us to divide up between boys, girls & families. The pool, hot tub & fire pits were all very nice as was the game room. We also enjoyed the new dining area

Highly Recommend!

by Keiayrria
If you’re thinking about booking this place DO IT! It looked exactly like the pictures , there was so much space & privacy. We booked it for an annual girls trip and we will definitely be returning next year

Great for the grandkids

by Brian
My family (4 families with 6 grandkids) had a vacation cut short due to a Hurricane on the East Coast. On the drive back home I found this listing and made a last minute rental because that is what Grandpas do 😉 This rental is very unique with sIx well appointed suites that will sleep six, great little kitchens in each, and an indoor pool and game room that kept the grandkids smiling for four days! I felt very fortunate to have found a last minute rental of such quality! This is great for families, or multiple families, but also would be great for a business retreat for a management team.

Packed with Amenities!

by Connie
We had 34 people (kids ages 2-13/ grown ups 26 to 72). Five sisters and their extended families. Having the pool on sight is a great advantage over other cabins in the area. The separate units allowed people to have space to escape to when needed. Outdoor fire areas to hang out at but large enough area that we had around 15-20 people around one fire pit. Very clean premises. The layout of the parking lot and building gave us privacy and allowed the kids to have fun without aggravating any neighbors which allowed the adults to relax. We would recommend for any large group especially families.

Perfect Spot for Relaxation and Fun Outdoors!

Beautiful Home with Plenty to Do

by Amanda

The place was beautiful and the host was very responsive and accommodating. It pretty much rained our whole trip but there was plenty to do at the house. Would absolutely stay again.

Can't say enough good about this place!

by Howard

The rooms are beautiful as well as comfortable. My family had a blast using the pool, game room, hot tub, and playground. We had just the best time and feel blessed to have discovered this lodge for our reunion.

Spacious for our Big Group

by Savannah

We brought the University of Alabama Men’s Ice Hockey team here while we played the University of Tennessee in Knoxville. Having 6 separate cabins provided a great amount of space for our group and the downstairs communal areas were great for watching football and team bonding. Having 6 full kitchens made it easy to cook for a group this large and the parking was perfect for our university vans. The entire cabin was clean and we didn’t have a single issue during our stay. We will be recommending this cabin to other teams here at UA, and may even return if we find ourselves playing up in Knoxville again!

Great Getaway for the family

by Ebony

My family and I had an amazing time! Our favorite spot was definitely the fire pits. We absolutely loved the individual suites, which gave everyone their own space while still feeling connected. The property was beautiful and very well maintained, making it the perfect backdrop for our quick family getaway. We had everything we needed and made lots of special memories during our stay. Highly recommend!

Spacious, Clean, and Perfect for Large Groups

by Yvonne

Top Knotch Lodge is breathtaking. My group of 22 young adults had an amazing stay, and we did not want to go home. The road/access - nicely paved all the way to the property. The roads are a little steep, but any sedan can make it without breaking a sweat. It was smooth and easy with my mid-SUV. The roads are a little windy, but it is normal in the mountains. We had no problems when two-way traffic passing each other. You will be fine! The space - is perfect for our size. The property is very clean! This multiple condos concept makes the sleeping arrangement so easy for a big group. Bunk beds are long enough to fit an adult, and the pull out couch is spacious. The balconies look out to a nice view. The amenities - The pool and the jacuzzi are clean and they work well. Cooking supplies are well maintained and fairly new. The firepit and the grill outside are directly connected to gas pipes, which makes it so easy to operate. We ate together in the game room and picnic area. - Yvonne

Good Service and Nice Property

by Moises

beautiful place, very clean and spectacular for the family and children, very good service at all times, located very close to all entertainment, if you want to spend pleasant time with your family I recommend this place 100% ..!

Loved the Pool, Game Room, and Cozy Spaces!

by Adam

This uniquely designed listing makes it perfect for a group. We brought a group of teens for a retreat. They loved it! The pool, the arcade/TV room, the gas fire pits (all 3 of them), and the Jacuzzi were great places for hanging out and having fun as a group. When space was needed, we retreated back to the rooms which were designed and decorated perfectly. The supplied kitchens in each room came in handy and the butlers kitchen in the game room area was helpful. They were all well stocked with plates, silverware and bakeware for our large group. Overall, this place is amazing and we will definitely be back!

A rejuvenating escape

by Misty

Our retreat stay was nothing short of phenomenal! The property was absolutely stunning—peaceful, serene, and the perfect backdrop for a relaxing getaway. Every detail was thoughtfully considered, creating an atmosphere that felt both luxurious and cozy. We can't wait to return and experience the magic of this place all over again. Highly recommend for anyone in need of a rejuvenating escape!
