Big Vista Lodge

Worth knowing

• Sixteen bedrooms and 17 full baths for up to 64.
• The page says the parking area fits multiple vehicles or a full-size tour bus.
• One main-level king bedroom has a full handicap-accessible bathroom.
• Indoor pool and a 30-seat tiered theater; close to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Dollywood.

At full capacity that's about 3.6 people per bathroom. That's our math from the operator's numbers.

Ask before you book

Built from what the operator's page left open when we checked.

1. Is your stated capacity the permitted occupancy, or a count of every bed and sofa?
2. Is there a kitchen your group can use, and how many people can it feed at once?
3. Can meals be provided, or does your group cook for itself?
4. Is there one room where everyone can sit together?
5. Are pets allowed?
6. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
