Welcome to Sunset Lodge where each evening you’ll be treated to magnificent sunset in the Great Smoky Mountains. Located in beautiful Wears Valley, just nine miles from Pigeon Forge, this newly built in 2021 regal mountain home privately sits on two wooded acres and sleeps eight guests who seek an adventurous, relaxing, and luxurious space with truly unforgettable mountain views.
Take the steep mountain driveway to experience this majestic home which features Mission Style furniture and Tiffany style lamps. The interior gives a nod to Frank Lloyd Wright and makes for one of the most unique and gorgeous Lodges in the Great Smoky Mountains. Each evening reveals stunning sunsets as you soak up the fresh mountain air, and then, once the sun goes down, the inside of the Lodge comes alive with conversation and relaxing contentment.
On the first floor, the entertainment area has a flat screen TV, granite bar, refrigerator and also features a well-appointed King Suite with a full bathroom.
Upstairs to the second floor, the home opens up to the stunning Great Room featuring a 30’ wall of glass and a floor to ceiling fireplace. Just off the Great Room, you will find a splendid King Master Suite with full bathroom.
Guests will truly appreciate the dining room that has an astonishing view of the Great Smoky Mountains. The fully equipped kitchen, with granite counter tops, plethora of custom-built cabinets, is quite spacious and has the capacity for the family chef to cook those special family meals. Imagine yourself rocking on the deck with an outdoor fireplace on the second floor or eating outdoors on the specially designed outdoor deck.
On up to the third floor to the Game Room where guests of all ages will enjoy a full-size pool table, video games and outdoor hot tub overlooking the gorgeous valley below. Also on the third floor, you will discover another queen suite with a private bath. Just off the Game Room, a bonus room has a day bed with a trundle which provides additional sleeping space to accommodate guests of all ages. If you are seeking a truly unique mountain experience, Sunset Lodge will provide those memories that will last a lifetime.
Special attractions are located next door. You will find the Hawk Skylift known as Sevier County’s highest chairlift with spectacular views! Also, Elvira’s Cafe ranked by Forbes magazine as the top 100 restaurants in the US.

Driveway is a hazard. We had to spend the first night in a hotel and then rent a 4 wheel drive.
Abysmal getting to it. The house was nice enough, We have stayed in other places in Wears Valley with much better results. Would not rent this property again.

This was a beautiful cabin, and a beautiful location! My wife and I enjoyed the amazing view from our balcony every day. The steep driveway was certainly a bit challenging at first, but got easier as the week went on. Would highly recommend!

Amazing house in the mountains
We would definitely stay here again. The driveway is something. I am surprised there isn’t a rail on the one side and the electrical box being at the top. Beautiful views that high up. Gorgeous home and loved the size of the kitchen. It was so handy having the grill on the deck right off the kitchen. Thanks for letting us stay and being able to use your property!!

Beautiful mountain cabin
This was a beautiful mountain cabin with a stunning view, plenty of space, and well stocked kitchen. It felt very private. The hot tub was great! The driveway was a challenge for those from the flatlands, and we found that 4 wheel drive or minimum of rear wheel drive were a must for this location. The proximity to Pigeon Forge and GMSNP worked great for our group.

Very steep driveway/ Great Cabin
Where it says must have 4x4 they are 100% correct, the driveway is VERY steep with a sharp turn at the top, not for the faint of heart. That being said the cabin was excellent, very well stocked, clean and the hosts were very responsive.

Absolutely Beautiful Cabin
This cabin looks just like the pictures, it’s truly gorgeous! The views are breathtaking! The kitchen is well stocked, and the owners paid close attention to details downs to the beautiful light fixtures throughout. Beds are comfortable! We never waited long for a response to our many questions while planning our trip. We would most definitely rent from these owners again and look forward to visiting real soon in the future ! Thank you Gary for everything you did to make our vacation enjoyable.

Bird Eye View
The cabin was amazing. It was like sitting in bird house on the mountain side. The driveway was like a mountain climb at the top. But well worth it. We were blessed to have a dog show up and protect us from a baby black bear one morning.

Beautiful cabin and view!!
Absolutely loved the cabin and the view!! The cabin itself was very clean and was well stocked with everything you would need for your stay. My family also loved eating at Elvira’s cafe which is located at the end of the road. The driveway, however, is a different story. It is it for the faint of heart lol. An AWD or 4x4 vehicle is a definite must!! It will make navigating the driveway easier. Once I figured out how to navigate the driveway, it definitely became easier. I will definitely rent this cabin again!!

Spacious and Beautiful!
Such an easy, true mountain experience. We even saw a small bear while making s‘mores (and quickly went upstairs to watch from the balcony). My husband, myself, our 3 kids, and our parents (8 total) slept comfortably with enough private bedrooms for all adults. The view was breathtaking and the property was gorgeous. Instructions were accurate and easy. The driveway was pretty scary for us not used to mountains city folk but my husband and father in law handled the steep drive beautifully while I put a sweater on my head 😅. Can’t wait to go back!

Unique Location
My family and I had a great time at the house. It is a new house and is well kept. The 3 bedrooms each have their own bathroom. The living room is very nice and the kitchen is big with everything needed to cook. The loft is great with the pool table and hot tub on the porch. The porches provide a great place to sit and drink coffee in the morning. The only negative aspect is the very steep driveway. It is manageable with a 4 wheel drive vehicle and good momentum going up, and using low gear to go down. I recommend staying here.

SUNSET LODGE 🌞😎
Talk about gorgeous and amazing views to say the least! This place is not only exactly as described but location-location-location! Just minutes away from dining, shopping, the night life, and attractions, (highly recommend Parrot Mountain and the “Island”)!!!!! The lodge had everything we wanted and then more exceeding our expectations! We had fun listening to music with the fireplace going while grilling out playing pool and even chilling in the hot tub!!!!! Had plenty of games to play not to mention hiking on the property but we didn’t get to hangout by the fire pit as it was too windy! We definitely recommend SUNSET LODGE🤩💖

Scary!
First of all, we have been coming to this area for over 30 years. The chalet is very nice inside and very well stocked. The owner was responsive. However, when I messaged about getting in early, I never received a response. Upon arrival, we were literally shocked at the steepness of the driveway! We had issues with our all-wheel drive vehicle after climbing the hill. So much so that we had to call AAA and they wouldn't drive up the driveway. We called the owner's recommended mechanic--he never returned our call. The pictures do not justify the hill. If this is rented out in the winter and there snow or ice, I don't know how you would get up it. And upon leaving--it was the most scared I have ever been going down a driveway in this area. I would never rent this property again! I would also suggest that the owner disclose how bad it is. Once you go up I wouldn't suggest leaving until you are ready to go home.

Great cabin with beautiful views
My family enjoyed the cabin itself. It was clean, accommodating, and peaceful. Beautiful sunsets. Well equipped kitchen. The driveway is another matter. It is possible to drive up the driveway with a front wheel drive vehicle, at least on a dry day, if you have proper momentum. But the driveway texture in the middle (provided for traction) will eat your tires. On one of our trips up, we didn't have enough momentum, stopped at a weird angle and ended up needing a tow truck to correct the angle so we could back down the driveway safely. We ended up needing to buy new tires to drive home. When we rented a 4-wheel drive Jeep, it went up pretty easily in low gear. You also want something with some clearance otherwise you will scrape the bottom of your vehicle on some of the turns. Save yourself some heartache and follow the 4-wheel/all-wheel drive recommendation. If you do, I am sure you will enjoy this cabin as we did even with the mishaps.

Nice location
The location was great. Beautiful cabin. Property was clean except for the floors. Walking barefoot from the shower to the bed, feet were black. TV in the bedroom with the white farmhouse furniture would not stay connected to the WiFi so my husband and I could not watch it for the first several days. Finally on the 3rd and 4th day it decided to stay connected. Overall our stay was enjoyable and the price was great. No major issues that would prevent us from returning in the future.

Wonderful stay!
Our family of 5 (3 kids ages 4-5) had a wonderful stay at Sunset Lodge. The location is great with AMAZING views of the valley. The hot tub especially had beautiful views and was very clean. It was an easy drive to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge but we spent most of our time exploring the surrounding area and enjoying local hiking and restaurants. Sunset Lodge is also hands-down the best stocked vacation home we have ever stayed in. We had everything we needed for cooking, sleeping, and lots of fluffy towels. My kids especially enjoyed doing the puzzles and playing with a few toys that were at the house. I appreciated that exterior doors had deadbolts and chain locks at the top. There were also baby gates available for every set of stairs for younger children. They have truly thought of everything! We look forward to staying here again in the future!

Wonderful stay
The property is gorgeous. The owners spared no expense to ensure everything you need is there and more. We don’t have babies but there were gates for every set up stairs and I think 3 pack and plays in closets. Upon arrival 2 of the 3 ac units were not blowing because the previous renter set the thermostat to 45 degrees and they froze over. The owner was very responsive and with a quick fix we had ice cold air our entire stay! They were helpful with recommendations and we loved the location as we were only 20ish min from both Gatlinburg and PF. Everyone enjoyed the hot tub and the amazing views. Would definitely rent again if we go back! Wonderful house, great location and owners with amazing response time. 10 out of 10

Beautiful views!
We stayed at Sunset Lodge with 2 other couples and the layout of the lodge allowed each couple to have a bedroom/bathroom on separate floors which allowed some privacy. The lodge is absolutely beautiful. We enjoyed sitting on the deck enjoying the mountain views. The kitchen is well appointed. We cooked several meals at the lodge and appreciated the grill on the deck. The only issue we had was with the mountain driveway. It is a very steep driveway with a sharp left turn at the top. We only left the cabin once a day during our weeklong stay to avoid the intense up and down access to the property. This might not be an issue for some people but for us, it was difficult. I do want to say that the owners are very nice and easy to communicate with and they are quick to repsond with all questions.

Great Family Vacation!
Would highly recommend! This is an extremely nice house with amazing views! I have to say the driveway is as bad as everyone says! we have a front wheel drive Chevy Traverse and it Would Not go up the driveway! I lived in TN for many years and I'm telling you unless you have 4 wheel drive you're not getting up this drive way! Luckily we took 2 vehicles and the other vehicle is 4 wheel drive so we parked at the bottom and had to take the 4 wheel drive 2 trips up and down the driveway every time we went somewhere. With that being said, we really enjoyed our visit! Communication was always great. They always got back to me asap no matter what kind of questions I was asking. The house is very child friendly. We even saw a bear in front of the house one morning. Would definitely recommend and I'd go back again.

Mountain Getaway
The property was amazIng. The views were breathtaking. The owner was very prompt in getting back with us about an issue we had. Overall a great stay EXCEPT for the driveway. The driveway was a NIGHTMARE!!!! IT IS STRAIGHT UP AND A 90 DEGREE TURN AT THE TOP!! You can not slow down once you start up the hill. You have to gun it at the bottom and dont let up. Coming down one day it was raining and we slid down part of the driveway. I drove a front wheel drive honda crv. My other family drove a Nissan rouge. We both had tons of issues getting up and down. My other family even had to buy new tires when they returned home because the tires slid so much going down and spun so much going up it wore down to the wires. Take the posting serious. 4 wheel drive is a MUST!!
