Smoky Summit Lodge

Worth knowing

• Eight bedrooms, all with their own bath, for up to 22 guests.
• A separate building holds a heated indoor pool and a private mini golf course.
• Listed as pet friendly, unlike the two other Summit 8-bedroom homes in this file.
• About 15 minutes from Dollywood, in the For by Grace 2 resort.
• Named fits include family reunions and sports groups.

At full capacity that's about 2.6 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. Can meals be provided, or does your group cook for itself?
3. Is there one room where everyone can sit together?
4. Can a church bus or coach reach the building, and how many cars fit?
5. Which rooms and bathrooms work for a wheelchair or walker?
6. Is alcohol allowed on the property?
7. What is the minimum stay?
