About this property

Private-Panoramic Views of the Great Smoky Mountains-FREE Mountain Air

Mountaintop Experience offers a comfortable authentic cabin atmosphere and a wonderful mountain-top setting with spectacular panoramic fifteen mile views into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. If incredible mountain views are at the top of your 'must have' list, this cabin will not let you down.

From the back of the cabin no other cabins are visible. We replaced the upper deck early in 2017, replacing the spindles with hog wire, making the views even more unobstructed. The next year we updated the lower deck with hog wire. It's amazing what lengths some owners go through to take pictures that appear to show privacy! We have been burned several times in this way.

Main Level: Spacious floor plan with cathedral ceilings throughout and hardwood floors (except in master (carpeted) and baths, all of which are tiled), Great Room with Stone Gas Fireplace and Full Length Picture Windows, 42" HD LED TV, DVD/CD player/AM/FM Surround Sound, Updated Kitchen with leather granite countertops, granite sink, and bronze faucet, Stainless Steel/Black Appliances, Dining Room with large table and seating for six, Countertop seating for two, two piece Bath, Master King Bedroom with carpet (with Full Bath (leather granite countertops, sinks, faucets, and a spa like shower update in 2018, with pebble floor), TV, DVD player and access to upper deck), Uncovered deck spanning the length of the cabin with gas grill, a pub table with three chairs, two single rockers and one double rocker. 12’ x 12’ pergola on master end of deck, installed in 2017.

Lower Level: 10' ceiling throughout lower level with carpet, Game Room with Stone Gas Fireplace, New Pool Table (11/2018), old-fashioned video game table, 42" HD LED TV, BluRay DVD player, Wii console (bring your own games and remotes), Two Queen Bedrooms (one with access to lower deck and TV/DVD; one with TV and Wi-Fi Router for Internet Access, and sleep number mattress), Full Bath (new granite, tile, tub, sink, faucets), Separate Utility Room with Washer and Dryer, Pull out queen Sofa bed, Covered Deck spanning the length of the cabin with Hot Tub, two-person rocker and two single rockers.

Awesome house, gorgeous view!
The place was amazing! The view out the back is worth a stay all by itself. Throw in a very clean (and well appointed) home, fun games to play (the video game console and pool table were big hits), and a cozy hot tub, and it’s the perfect getaway. The owner’s communication and organization is top notch. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks!

Birthday celebration
No matter what the weather, we had amazing views of the Smokey mountains. What an amazing spot with a beautiful "cabin". I put this in quotes because, yes, it is a cabin theme, but has bits of luxury and is so well appointed that it is far superior to any cabin I have visited before. Close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, there was plenty to do. We also made sure to drive the foothills parkway for more and different spectacular views. Would definitely return. Owners were wonderful to work with

Majestic!
We had an amazing 7 day stay. The place was clean, the host was incredibly responsive and accommodating and the views were absolutely majestic. I’ve booked 8 different cabins in the mountains and this is by far one of the best. The kitchen is fully stocked with all the appliances you need, the closets are stocked with plenty of blankets, pillows and games for the family. The hot tub was hot, the fireplaces worked great and the beds were very comfortable. We will be returning!

Perfect Cabin Getaway
This cabin is perfect layout for family with master upstairs with kitchen and family room and spare rooms and bath with game room and hot tub balcony! Balcony rooms off two bedrooms and sitting area with the beautiful views of mountains can’t be beat! Short drive to our favorite areas in Pigeon Forge.

Once in a lifetime vacation
This cabin is absolutely stunning. The view, the cabin, the amenities were all way better than we could have ever imagined. The spa was perfect every time we wanted to get in it, the drive up to and down the mountain wasn’t too difficult to traverse even in light snow! We are already planning our next trip.

Great host and cabin
We spent the Thanksgiving Holiday at Lori's cabin in Sevierville. The cabin offers unparalleled views of the Smoky Mountains. Just waking up in the morning to the mountain view from our bedroom was breathtaking. Additionally, Lori was a very responsive and helpful host. She gave our family various suggestions and pointers for things to do and see in the area. If I ever go back to Sevierville, I would definitely rent this cabin again!

Truly a dream!
Family of four traveling with small children and this cabin was everything we were looking for. The photos posted are exactly how the cabin is. The views are incredible! Seeing the sun come up from the master bedroom as you wake up, enjoying coffee on the deck as the morning gets warm, a glass of wine as the sun goes down, and a relaxing soak in the hot tub after a day hiking in GSMNP, is exactly what a trip to gatlinburg should be! Lori is the perfect host: she’s responsive and accommodating. Every step of the way she communicated with us. And really listen to her advice- there’s a road leading up she makes a recommendation on how to approach, which is different from nav systems and she’s spot on !! Just such a quiet beautiful place. Everyone looks forward to returning!!

The cabin is exactly as shown in the pictures. The kitchen was well equipped, and big enough for me to make meals for everyone. The layout of the cabin was perfect for our family and the view was amazing! This is one of the best cabins we have stayed in on our trips to the Smoky Mts.

The View
My family and I stayed here last year at about the same time. Yes, we liked it so much we came back (if that tells you something). This stay was just as great as the first. We plan to come back each year about the same time. Creating memories to talk about in years to come. Thank you, Lori, for the wonderful communication.

My family had a fantastic time staying at the Mountain Top cabin. The views are breathtaking and it’s perfectly located next to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.

Wish we could have stayed longer
Our family (my husband, our 12 year old daughter and 9 year old son, and myself) stayed here and didn't want to leave! The house has all the comforts of home and then some. The beds were comfy, the towels were great (I hate when they are fluffy towels with no absorbency), plenty of places to hang our clothes in the closets and unpack into the empty drawers, the kitchen is stocked with everything to cook meals at home, everyone was entertained (hot tub, pool table, arcade games), and the views are unbeatable. We loved how we were out of the touristy hustle and bustle but were close enough with a quick drive to most locations we wanted to go to (and the longer drives were through the gorgeous forest). The drive up the mountain isn't horrible- just take it slow- and after a day or two it's old hat. We truly hope to come back one day and stay at Mountaintop Experience again. We could even bring my parents, as we had plenty of room.

About the host

Hosted by Lori Thompson

Host profile image
Owners Charles, Debbie, Jeff, Lori, and Charlotte Thompson

Charlie, Jeff, and Lori, all engineers, appreciate the structural integrity of Mountaintop Experience. Debbie, a teacher, can't stop marveling at the view. Charlotte, our sixteen-year old enjoys the view, the comfy sofas and the Wi-Fi most of all. When she was younger her favorite thing was the hot tub. She would always make sure to remember her goggles. After all, all professional hot tub swimmers wear goggles!

Why they chose this property

My husband and I having been visiting the Great Smoky Mountains for thirty years. We've stayed in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, Sevierville, Walden's Creek, Townsend, and Wears Valley. We love them all. Since we live in Knoxville, several weekend trips a year, even on the spur of the minute, are not out of the question. We've stayed in many different cabins. The problem was that there was always something that could have been better. A cabin with a great view would offer no privacy. One with privacy had no view. We wanted a cabin with as many amenities as possible that we could count on consistently. A 'known quantity', if you will. Of all the cabins we've stayed in over the years, none can hold a candle to Mountaintop Experience. Previously, it was named A Wilderness Lodge. However, since it isn't in the wilderness and it isn't a lodge, we changed the name to Mountaintop Experience. We hope you have a wonderful experience on our portion of this mountaintop.

What makes this property unique

The design of Mountaintop Experience is ingenious. With virtually the entire back of the house being windows, the mountain view is the centerpiece of the cabin. You can simply sit on the sofa and enjoy the incredible views. You can easily forget that anyone else is around.
