Laurel Lodge

Laurel Lodge was the perfect place for our large group of adults! The beautiful photos are very accurate and the accommodations were very nice and comfy. Lots of room to sit around and eat together, chat and relax!

My wife and I hosted a family reunion in Gatlinburg and what a wonderful time we had. Laurel Lodge and Mountain Laurel Chalets Property Management exceeded our every expectation. We enjoyed staying on the mountain, bear watching from the deck, hiking in the park, strolling down the parkway in Gatlinburg and enjoying our down time in the most accommodating first class conditions. The comments my wife and I heard most often as we all prepared to start our journey home were thanks for the best family trip ever and when can we do this again.

We are so thrilled you had such a wonderful stay, and thank you for your kind words. We hope to have the privilege to serve you again soon!

BIG place. We had plenty of room. Big kitchen. Lots of bears. Saw Mom and cub playing on lower patio. Had a mid size bear come up onto the upper deck several times. Lots of bear prints on out cars. Handicap shower has no handicap grab/support bars mounted inside or just outside the shower. The cables from the DVD player to the tv were broken and when replaced by us, the DVD player still did not work. Take a LOT of mosquito spray if you plan on sitting outside.

Anonymous U from CORYDON - Posted: 7/15/2024

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We will suggest the addition of handicap bars to the owner, and we will also check the DVD player out ASAP! And yes, the summer is the mosquitoes' favorite time in the Smokies, and bug spray can be quite handy during peak summer months! Hope to see you back again very soon!

We’ve been coming to Gatlinburg for retreats for ten years, and this was our first time to stay in Laurel Lodge. The Lodge is beautifully appointed, the kitchen is well stocked for preparing meals for a large group, the bedrooms with private baths are a plus, the spacious deck allows for group conversations, and the view is breathtaking. We experience excellence and warm hospitality Tom and Susan Goodwin, and highly recommend Mountain Laurel Chalets and The Laurel Lodge.

One grill was not working, which I know you all tried to fix that day, and we had an issue with the gas tanks once we started to grill Friday night. You all responded quickly to my voice messages and sent someone with gas within 30 minutes. Thanks so much for going above and beyond!

Tracy B - Posted: 1/5/2024

Our church retreat has been at Laurel Lodge since 2007 and we could not ask for any better service. Any problems we have had, which is very few in all these years, has been taken care of immediately. Our entire group would highly recommend Mtn Laurel Chalets. Thank you for your great customer service.

Pisgah UMC - Posted: 10/25/2023

We really enjoyed your beautiful Laurel Lodge-1st time we were in the same house and it was great! Loved the kitchen & all the communal areas! The driveway was challenging-making the entry sign reflective would help. Your staff (Chris, Pam & Scott) were fabulous!

Donna G. - Posted: 9/30/2023

I have been staying at your properties for many many years. We have always been treated with kindness and respect. Also, the properties have been maintained beautifully. We are set to return next year. Thank you for your services.

Our group of 22 adults loved Laurel Lodge! It is so rare to find a lodge with 12 bedrooms, each with a private bath, and a queen or king bed. It was like having a small hotel just for us! The best part was the very large kitchen, dining area and deck that gave us lots of space to spend time together. Plus, it was immaculately clean and very well appointed. Do pay attention to the warnings about bears! We spotted a few, but they did not bother us. One couple forgot to lock their car and found bear foot prints inside it! Fortunately, the car was not damaged. The only negative comment from anyone was about the road leading to the lodge. If you are accustomed to mountain roads it really isn't so bad, but be aware that Holly Branch Drive is only wide enough for one car, so if you encounter a vehicle coming the other way, someone will have to back up. The distance is not long, so that's a minor inconvenience. Many thanks to Pam and the entire staff for helping us plan a memorable vacation!

Our group of 20 had a fabulous stay at Laurel Lodge!! The layout and size of the house were perfect! The kitchen was amazing!! So well stocked with everything we needed!! Our group loved sitting on the deck, enjoying beverages and catching up! The view was just beautiful. The Adirondack rocking chairs on the deck were perfect! Our only complaint was that there were NOT ENOUGH of them. More chairs are needed on the deck. Also, it would be nice to have more sets of towels and more toilet paper. But overall we LOVED our stay at Laurel Lodge and would highly recommend it!! Our group may make this a yearly trip!!

Judith S. - Posted: 7/8/2023

The house was perfect for our staff retreat. Great location, bedrooms and bathrooms for each person, large gathering spaces and fully stocked kitchen.

Monica Lee - Posted: 5/22/2023

This house was awesome! It was perfect for our group of 23 adults. We loved the kitchen (very well stocked), the deck and common areas. One suggestion is to have more chairs for the deck for big groups. We are considering this house again for our next reunion!

Kirsten Colen - Posted: 5/5/2023

Had a great time with family and friends plenty of room loved the cabin only set back wish the main living area was down stairs but we worked it out will be visiting again.

Nancy Garren - Posted: 3/24/2023

Great experience for our family weekend! Everyone was helpful and responsive. Just a couple of suggestions on the property:1. The left oven didn’t seem to heat/cook very well. Right one was much better. 2. The knives needed to be sharpened. 3. More trash bags and dishwasher soap should be left initially for such a large unit. We’ll definitely consider coming back!

Rebecca Martin - Posted: 2/24/2023

We love using Mountain Laurel Chalets for our cabin needs in Gatlinburg. We know we are getting a stellar product, a clean cabin/chalet and exceptional service! Pam and her staff are amazing. We can't wait to do it again next year!

We had a great time with our group. Laurel Lodge was perfect for our get together. Clean, spacious, and well layed out.

Michael S. - Posted: 9/9/2022

We all 21 members loved our mountain vacation. We loved everything about it even the baby bears who were entertaining. The house was large, beautiful bedrooms with baths, an enormous kitchen and two dining tables to seat all members of our family reunion.

Helen G. - Posted: 8/3/2022

The bears certainly have an established trail through this large property. It's always a good idea to look outside before stepping out, especially at dawn or dusk. The bears are used to seeing humans, but please never approach them as they are still wild animals. We are glad you found Laurel Lodge spacious and perfect for your family. We look forward to seeing you in the mountains again soon.

This is our second time renting this home for a family reunion. The setup and condition of the house are perfect for our family. It has been renovated since we last visited. The kitchen setup is perfect with double ovens/cooktops/dishwashers/coffee makers/trash cans and plenty of cookware, utensils, and cups. The expanded deck is really nice but we did wish there were a few more chairs on the deck. The kids loved the theater room, the internet was fast, and the TVs had cable plus smart capabilities for streaming. With the pool table and provided games we could have spent the whole time in the house and been very happy. We were happy to find the grills are now up on the deck (for bear safety) and we were supplied with ample propane for our stay. Everyone at Mountain Laurel Chalets was wonderful to work with and I would happily rent from them again as they made the entire rental experience easy and were all so nice. The only thing that would prevent us from renting this house again is that the bears are very aggressive about trying to get food from cars and have learned to come by regularly to check if cars are open and also would not leave us alone while we were trying to pack up and leave. I really think the owners should add more substantial fencing around the parking area and also work with the wildlife agency to figure out how to keep the bears off the property. It is clear they know what to do to get what they want (people food) and are willing to be pretty aggressive to get it.

This was our 13th yearly outing to Laurel Lodge and it was wonderful as usual. Bears were plenty but not a nuisance as in the past couple of years. Counting down the days to go back nest year.

We are so glad you had a great stay at Laurel Lodge and we were able to accommodate your group! Thank you for continuing to choose Mountain Laurel Chalets, we love having you as a part of our family! Looking forward to next year's stay!

This 12 BR lodge served our extended family of 19 very well. The lodge was a beautiful property. We saw black bear every day we were there, including one on the top deck. One car was broken into by a bear. The only down side was that the ice maker broke mid way thru our stay and was not repaired. We had 4 days without ice.

David S. - Posted: 7/9/2022

It is great to know that you all loved your stay at Laurel Lodge! It is a fantastic chalet for people to spend quality time together. We are very sorry about the ice maker, we always want to be good stewards of our guests, and we wish that we could have gotten that fixed for you. It would be great to have you back with us soon!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Loved the staff Everyone was friendly and provided excellent customer service
Furniture is too big for rooms Hard to move around in dining area. Rug in bedroom and washing machine need cleaning Recommend a microwave oven in kitchenette on main lever
Hit knee several times trying to get between bed and dresser Very difficult to find chalet at night and road is too narrow for two cars to pass The chalet was fully equipped with everything one could need.(even board games) Maintenance quickly responded The view was spectacular Enjoyed the layout with various areas for different activities

Melinda W. - Posted: 7/5/2022

Overall the cabin was lovely - I love the renovations (I am a previous visitor) the theatre room addition is great but the seats were nasty and had hair everywhere. We bought lint rollers but that didn't work out well so we didn't utilize that room which was a disappointment (NBA playoffs) The tv in the last bedroom on the left upstairs picture and volume was sporadic the whole visit and couldn't be watched. If you open the door to the fridge upstairs there is a loud popping sound. Other than this the rental was great. Loved the space in the kitchen.

Cassandra J. - Posted: 6/10/2022

My favorite place ever! This was my 2nd stay and I am using the lodge again next for my church womens retreat. The place is always clean. Staff are always friendly and helpful. ANDDDDD we love getting to see the bears ��

Melissa L. - Posted: 6/2/2022

Yes! We are so glad that you enjoyed your stay at Laurel Lodge. It is perfect for a retreat, or even a large family vacation. We always want to do the best by our guests and provide them with a special experience each time, and we would love to have you back with us soon!

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Cons: Your company advertised 6 Kings; 6 Queens. There were 5 Kings and 7 Queens ��My guests who had to sleep in the Queen were angry because of this.
The bears were too aggressive for people; someone is bound to get seriously injured or worse
The kitchen refrigerator leaked and Beeped intermittently the entire stay; water was everywhere. Maintenance came a couple times.
The vent in the floor between kitchen and Family room became a Trip Hazard
Please advise people Before they come that large vehicles/buses cannot make it up the mountains

Pros: The Lodge is Beautiful
Love Love Love the kitchen
It accommodates a large gathering beautifully
Gatlinburg is Fun

Aretha P. - Posted: 5/30/2022

Nice place for a large group! Awesome location, good view and nice setup. The lodge was clean and tidy. I would recommend the lodge and will be a repeat customer.

Yes! Laurel Lodge is the perfect place for a large group to have a fun and relaxing getaway. The view of the mountains from this chalet are certainly beautiful, and we are so glad that you enjoyed the set up! We cannot wait to have you stay with us again.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We had a group of 20 that stayed for the second time at this particular rental. There were only a few things that we wish were different. The parking is definitely a tight fit - the fewer and "smaller"" cars the better. We only had two towels per room - that meant we had to either wash or go back to the office to get more. We booked for four nights so that should have been taken into consideration. The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. Lots of room on the decks as well. "

Caren W. - Posted: 3/16/2022

Thank you Caren, we are so glad that you have been able to enjoy two stays at Laurel Lodge with us! We do apologize about the towels, but we offer more of the essentials we provide at the office. We always try to make our guests experience as smooth as possible.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

Our group has been coming to Gatlinburg since the mid 80’s. Mountain Laurel Chalets has been wonderful to work with throughout.
Laurel Lodge is perfect for our group. Everyone has their own bedroom and bathroom. There are plenty of common spaces for playing games, watching movies, and relaxing. View from the porch is amazing.
This year we were lucky enough to have 70 degree weather one day and snow the next. How amazing. We made many wonderful memories and plan to be back.

We have been coming to Laurel Lodge for years and we love it. The lodge is large enough for us to spread out and cozy enough for us to enjoy each other in the open spaces. The kitchen has everything you would need to prepare meals for a large group. We loved the updates that have been done to the lodge. More seating was added to the upstairs living area & it was perfect for us to get together. Working with the staff at Mountain Laurel Chalets make planning easy.

This beautiful chalet is the nicest one that my family has ever enjoyed in the Smokies. It is extremely well appointed with all amenities you need for a very comfortable vacation. For example, the kitchen is outfitted with an amazing set of dinnerware and every piece of the set has a clearly labeled spot on the shelving. Laurel Lodge is just a fine chalet served by a great company.

Thank You William! We love to provide our guests with all the essentials that they will need for a relaxing vacation because we always want to be good stewards of them here at Mountain Laurel.

Our family loved Laurel Lodge! Cozy, beautifully decorated, Christmas tree, wonderful deck and view, impressively well-stocked kitchen, comfortable beds and linens. Loved the hot tub!

A note to maintenance: the turntable in the microwave is not operating so you have to stop and start several times/rotate your dish to get even heating in the microwave.

A suggestion for the owners: somewhere on the ground level, either along the entry way hall or nearby inside the downstairs living area, a row of coat hooks would be fantastic.

Lesli D. - Posted: 12/17/2021

So glad you had a great stay and your suggestion of a coat rack and hooks is fantastic. We will pass that on to the owners. Hope to see you again soon!

We've been coming to Laurel Lodge since 2007 for our church retreat and as always, everything was great. The property management staff were very nice and super helpful. Anything we needed they had it covered in minutes. We are already booked for 2022 and we are all excited to be going back another year. Laurel Lodge is the absolute best place to stay in Gatlinburg for a large group...12 bedrooms with a private bath for each room is hard to find. The house is always so clean and has had a beautiful upgrade...especially the kitchen. Cannot say enough of good things about this house and the people who manage it.

Laurel Lodge was a great place to have our family reunion. We traveled from New York, Virginia, North Carolina, Texas, and Florida. We took advantage of everything the area had to offer, but the best memories will be from time spent in Laurel Lodge. We reminisced and laughed for hours in the kitchen / dining / living area and soaked up the great weather and views from the deck. We try to get together every 2 - 3 years in a different location, but Laurel Lodge may be our first repeat location. Mount Laurel Chalets made sure our stay was as enjoyable as possible. Quick response whenever I contacted them thru the mobile app when in need of trash pick up or household supplies. Hope to be back - Jim P.

We have rented this cabin several times over the last several Memorial Day weekends. It provides a great space for our large family reunion. And we appreciate the great updates that have been made over the last couple of years. However on this trip we found new beds and tables in the large living area. While the tables looked great, they are large and bulky with heavy chairs. It's wonderful for seating our large group. But the chairs are so bulky that it makes navigation through the space to the kitchen area a little tight. But this is not as bad as the beds. Huge massive head and foot boards look great for a cabin in the mountains. However these beds made it very tight moving around in the bedrooms. Only about 12 inches between the beds and the dressers to move around to get in the far side of the beds and to the bathrooms. We love this large cabin and will continue to rent it for our family reunions. But just wanted someone to know about this issue.

This chalet had everything we needed. Nice decor, well stocked kitchen. I loved the theater room. Did I mention the great view. And no visit to the mountains would be complete without receiving a visit from several bears. The only issue was the narrow one way road to access the chalet. You need great driving skills to drive a 15 passenger van around several tight curves.

We love Laurel Lodge and Mountain Laurel Chalets. We have been coming to Gatlinburg for 24 years and most of them have been with Mountain Laurel Chalets and the years we did not stay with them, we wished we had. Every year we come back to the lodge to see something new they have done to improve on an experience that we thought could not be improved on. The new kitchen design is amazing. The bedrooms and bathrooms were clean and comfortable. The downstairs game area and theatre room gave us hours of entertainment. And the deck on the back - we love it! It does not matter what the temp is outside, it is a great place for coffee or wine. To be able to sit, relax and unwind. Laurel Lodge is our family's 3 day winter home every year and Mountain Laurel Chalets makes it amazing. We can't wait to come back!!

The road to the lodge is hard to handle for those not used to mountain roads but I found it just fine. The view from the back deck was gorgeous. Quiet area and peaceful. The space was Great! We had a Very large family group and everyone was comfortably accommodated. The place was clean. We lacked supplies and since our stay was over a holiday we had to go buy our own paper towels, garbage bags. It was impossible getting responses from management. We had a few things broken and a bathroom door locked, even the security alarm was NONSTOP beeping the entire trip. They randomly sent a maintenance guy over to fix a few things but I never heard from anyone and the alarm system beeping was for all 4 days all day and night long. We even thought there was a problem with an ice machine and not wanting to have anything go wrong with the property I put in a request for that as well- never heard anything at all back from management. No communication from management and lack of basic garbage bag supplies was not enjoyable, the alarm system beeping nonstop was very annoying.

Anonymous - Posted: 12/23/2020

Thanks for the review and we appreciate the feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the chalet and regret you had issues with the alarm. We are trying to determine what the problem could have been to remedy the situation, but cannot duplicate the problem. In regards to restocking disposables in the cabin, you should have received an email a few days prior to your arrival outlining our COVID policy that explains our office is closed to the public, therefore, we are asking our guests to bring extra provisions such as paper products and garbage bags. We don't like it either, but the safety of our guests and staff is our highest priority. Once the virus is under control, we will rejoice in reopening our office and welcoming our guests properly. We hope you will come back and see us then.

Laurel Lodge was awesome! Space for the entire family - everyone had their own room! Large deck with grills, jacuzzi and a beautiful view of the mountains. Kitchen was huge...nobody was ever in anybody's way.....and the downstairs theatre was great, especially for the SEC championship football game! We even saw a bear our last night...when they say make sure your car doors are locked - they ain't kidding! We did have a minor issue with wifi - which was quickly handled and there were a few rooms where the TV didn't work properly...but that is something easily fixed as well. We had a great time and my family already wants to book it again next year!

Fred H. - Posted: 12/18/2020

Thanks for the great review and we are glad to hear your family enjoyed the cabin. We were happy to arrange for the internet repair with Spectrum and fortunate they were able to come out the same day. Thanks for the info on the televisions, we will make sure everything is in order and, as always, please contact us while you are here if you have an issue that we can make right. We love providing excellent service! There have been many incidents of bears in vehicles at Laurel Lodge and our maintenance and housekeeping crews have had that happen a few times. You gave very good advice, make sure your car doors stay locked, even if you are just going in and out! We hope to see you again soon in the mountains.

Beautiful place to stay. Lodge is beautifully maintained, highest level of cleanliness and reception is attentive. We've been coming about 4 times a year and couldn't ask for a better place to stay or company to work with.

Always good to have our family back and you Are Our Family! We truly appreciate your loyalty and hope we will continue to exceed your expections. Laurel Lodge is continually making improvements and adding features that our guests love. We can't wait to welcome you back next time you visit the Smokies!

The cabin was beautiful, however we had a few issues. When we arrived for check in , maintenance was still bringing in a dining table and our group was not able to fully check in until about 4pm. which caused issues in our schedule. The cable and TV connections in 3 bedrooms were not working, the shower curtain liners in a majority of the rooms were filthy and a few guests had to use showers in other rooms. When we called to replace the curtains, we appreciated the prompt response but the when thy came to change the curtains it was in the middle of our group session and it disturbed the flow, and the curtains that were brought to replace didn't fit the length of the shower. I called management and I spoke to someone twice to let them know of the issues and I was told that I would receive a credit for our issues, however no one has reached back out to me.

Thank you for your comments and concerns. We are sorry that the truck delivering the new dining room tables was delayed due to access to the cabin. We were happy to let your group into Laurel Lodge at 2:00 pm as you had already unloaded all of your groceries on the front porch. We were so concerned that the bears would want to enjoy your food and that would have been a disaster. We usually do not allow entrance to the cabin until 3pm and in this case, to save your food and provide for your safety we let you access the Lodge at 2pm. We had planned a delivery of new dining room tables on this day at 1:00 pm but the truck was delayed until 3:30 which prevented your other guests from accessing the Lodge until 4:00 pm. We are so sorry for this delay and did everything we could to encourage the delivery guys to speed up their service. The shower curtains needed to be changed and we are glad we were able to deliver those promptly when requested. Covid-19 has had it's challenges, but we are thankful that we have been for the most part been able to get people checked in at the same time of 3pm when other companies are not guaranteeing check in until 5pm or 6pm.

We had a great time at Laurel Lodge! Most of our time was spent on the spacious deck with breathtaking mountain views. Location was great to take in all Gatlinburg has to offer.

Molly K. - Posted: 9/8/2020

Everything was great. House is outstanding and well equipped. Bears were plentiful and for the most part entertaining until 4 showed up on our deck the last night at the same time but we managed.

Thank you for the review and we are glad you enjoyed your visit at Laurel Lodge. We are pleased to hear we exceeded your expections. It is always a thrill to see the bears and they seem to be everything this summer! That's why we always remind our guests to lock their car doors so they can't get inside. We hope you are able to come back to the mountains soon.

I chose this beautiful setting for our 14-member sales team’s Fall regional meeting. It was a great choice! The Lodge is very spacious and well furnished. The huge kitchen had everything we needed! We used the theater room for our Webinars where the on-line presenters were displayed on the extra large screen. When we would return from evening activities we spent hours in conversation on the decks. We were fortunate to see a mother black bear and her three cubs frolicking in the nearby woods! The sales team said they want to return for our next meeting.

LEAH W. - Posted: 9/3/2019

Leah--thanks so much for your review. You just about covered everything great about Laurel Lodge and how it is perfect for retreats and business events like yours. The theater room with Smart TV makes for a great place for learning and entertaining. Glad you enjoyed the luxurious new kitchen for your meals. Isn't the deck perfect for gathering and relaxing? Hope you got to enjoy the hot tub as well. The 12 private baths in each bedroom makes for the perfect place for a corporate retreat! See you again soon.

The rental space was very sufficient for the amount of people that came on the trip. They was plenty of dishes and utensils in the kitchen even though we used plastic products. The mountain view was really nice to wake up every morning on the back deck.

Spent 3 days with 12 couples at Laurel Lodge. This is our second time at this location and the improvements that were made to the cabin made this visit A++. The new theater room was great (it would be nice if it had surround sound). The extended deck was a great hangout space for our large group. The accommodations didn't disappoint. All the couples really enjoyed their stay. Also had a bear to show up two days in a row, once in the parking lot and on the deck. We will definitely be back. The only complaint I have is the ice maker in the kitchen froze up and didn't produce any ice.

Audra C. - Posted: 10/4/2018

Thank you for your review and suggestions. We have totally remodeled the kitchen since your visit and have all brand new appliances and a new ice maker.

Mountain Laurel Chalets staff

We had 24 people total and used every bit if the space and it worked out great. From the gathering space to the media room, new deck and spacious kitchen and eating area; it couldn't of been better. Each bedroom having it's own bathroom was a big plus!!! The check in process and people helping with that were very helpful and accommodating also. Good location; just far enough out of town but a real short drive to all there is to do.

Paul B. - Posted: 8/9/2018

Thank you for the review. We are happy to hear your group enjoyed every inch of space at Laurel Lodge! The are remodel is proving to be a big hit with our guests and more changes to come!

We love Laurel Lodge. We have been coming to Sevier County for the past 25 years for an adult family weekend getaway. Sometimes as with most families as we get older we move to other areas and get caught up in our own family routines. Laurel Lodge gives us an opportunity to come together as people, not moms or dads and enjoy each other. The lodge offers enough open space that we can enjoy each other and play games, eat as a group and sit and enjoy the fire and view. Plus the bedrooms are large enough that you if want some alone time, you have a place you can feel comfortable. Most of all we love the kitchen, with a lodge of 12 bedrooms you need to feed a lot of people and this lodge has planned for that; an ice maker, 8 stove top eyes, 2 ovens, 2 microwaves, a large refrigerator and separate large freezer it has it all. Can't wait to come back.

Thanks for the great review and we look forward to seeing you every February! Getting together is the best when you have plenty of space to do be together, but also have your own thing when you need to. You are correct about the kitchen! With that many people, two of everything is best, including 2 dishwashers because that's a lot of plates to wash! We look forward to welcoming your family back because you are OUR family!

We rented Laurel Lodge, and the one next door (Camelot) for a retreat and can we say it was perfect. The accommodations were so nicely decorated, comfortable and exceeded our expectations. The staff at the office were friendly and treated us like family. It was so close to downtown and the area wasn't effected by the wild fires at all. There were some areas we could drive by where we saw damage but most of that was out of the way from where Laurel Lodge was. Plenty of parking and the beds were awesome. We are already planning for next year. Hiking as a group in the park was a highlight as well as worshiping together in the large lodge area of this cabin.

The property was surprisingly nice. My family had stayed in the very same unit 15 yrs ago so I was thinking it would be extremely old and outdated however the owners have done an excellent job updating the property. We enjoyed the chalet and it's amenities. Each room having their separate bath was awesome. The only thing I'd recommend them to change well correct is the driveway. The gravel has washed away terribly and there are 2 bad ditches in middle of drive. Making it difficult and unsafe to manevour in and out of the drive. This SHOULD BE FIXED IMMEDIATELY! We had 1 vehicle to become stuck with only 2 tires on the ground. The other 2 just spinning in air from washed away gravel. It was a scary situation but we prevailed. But it should be filled in or paved immediately as it is only going to get worse as the weather gets cold or raining...

William R. - Posted: 11/18/2016

Thanks for the comments. Gravel has been put down in the driveway and it is fine now. The homeowner is also working on the exterior landscape, so you will have a nice surprise next time you visit!

The week-end was a good experience. The response from the staff was unbelievable - quick, pleasant and efficient. We have stayed each year from the past 20+. Suggestion - make sure there are enough mugs etc to serve 24. The breaker was not strong enough for stoves, griddles etc. Place mats were missing.

This was the perfect place for my extended family of 22 people. We were all very comfortable since there were plenty of beds, showers and seating. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes, bowls, silverware, pots, pans, etc. We loved the separate ice machine! This was a beautiful location and we had no problems finding the pools which the kids loved. If you need a place to stay for a lot of people, I highly recommend Laurel Lodge.

The house was the perfect spot for a big family reunion. It's proximity to both the national park and the town of Gatlinburg made it worth every penny. We did have a bear visit during dinner while we were grilling and be careful of the road leading up to the house- super steep and not for the faint of heart. The view was fantastic and the staff was extremely helpful with everything we needed. The pictures really don't show how large the house really is! The group was sad that recycling wasn't an option. Overall- great stay- highly recommended!

We had a good time on our trip to Gatlinburg and thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Laurel Lodge. Property is well kept and clean. The office staff and maintenance men were very friendly and helpful. The lodges were closer together than we expected, but privacy and noise did not become an issue. Our only complaint with this rental is we chose this particular unit because it was supposed to be handicap accessible. The shower did not have a safety rail inside the stall or a hand held shower head. If these two items were taken care of we would definitely rent this lodge again.

Anonymous - Posted: 12/22/2015

We loved the layout and location of Laurel Lodge. We appreciated being able to get additional linens and towels in the office if needed. The lodge had everything we needed and kitchen was well- stocked with everything needed for a Thanksgiving feast except lids did not match pots. Rooms and barhs were clean but under kitchen sink was rather scary and not clean.

Bathrooms were clean and hot tub nice. Incredible view and decks and we really enjoyed the rocking chairs on the porch.

The negatives were that you were closed on Thanksgiving Day. Since we arrived just the afternoon before we didn't realize we needed a couple more towels. Also no remote for TV in game room on BIG football day. We finally found another from another room to work. Maybe you could just open for an hour letting everyone know as they check in. The free bundle of wood was nice as was having additional available. The largest negative were the mattresses were generally uncomfortable and the one on first room on right on top floor had a huge hump in the middle.

Overall, Laurel Lodge gave us a memorable and enjoyable family vacation. Will look forward to a future stay there!

Our group has been staying in Laurel Lodge every November since it was built. We stayed in Smoky's Paradise before that and this group has been renting from Mountain Laurel Chalets annually since 1984. We love this chalet with a bathroom in every bedroom and are very pleased with the accommodations. However, we do have some feedback. There were not enough plates for the 21 of us to eat on, several of the glasses are chipped/broken and need to be removed/replaced, there was not a tub stopper in Evening Shadow bathroom downstairs(and I'm a bath person), we love the icemaker but it can't keep up with our needs. Also, a couple of the TV's did not work so replacement cables were required, which were installed in a timely manner. We understand this is out of your hands due to an ordinance but we would love to have the grills back on the deck. These are minor but we wanted you to know. Love this place and will be back again next year!

We rented this particular cabin because we were having a division meeting with 16 people. Since this had 12 BR's each with it's own bath (which was important) we only needed a 4 BR cabin to top it off. It worked perfectly for our meeting and was clean, nicely decorated and well equipped. The under counter ice maker was an extra special touch with that many people. Just far enough up the mountain to be in the woods (along with a resident bear), but close enough to town to run in for supplies.

We had 12 couples plus for the weekend. The rooms are perfect and the chalet had all the kitchen gadgets you could hope for. The large capacity ice maker did not seem to be working although it had ice in it when we arrived. Fortunately we had brough bagged ice and there is a separate freezer that was able to accomodate the ice. Everything worked out perfect and we woke up Saturday morning to snow that was gone by lunch time but was beautiful.

This was a great space for our family of 22. Common areas were large and kitchen had plenty of plates and glasses. There was a little issue with it not being ready by 3 p.m. but housekeeping really stepped up and we were fully in by 4 pm. The only bad thing about the rental was the poor condition of the mattresses. When either my spouse or I moved, the whole bed moved. Also, you should remember to bring Kleenex and salt and pepper. Those things were not on the recommended items to bring list sent by the rental company.

During our family reunion, this property met the needs of all of our 26 members. This residence made it possible for all to meet and dine together, yet break away for leisure or entertainment. The bedrooms provided privacy and the bathrooms were a much added asset during our stay.
The concern for a grill to feed everyone was found to be adequate as we used the 3 charcoal grills provided and found useful.
We would definitely recommend this vacation facility to anyone wishing to entertain a big group under a single roof. We look forward to using this unit on the future.
