Splash Mountain Lodge  

Perched in the pines above Gatlinburg, Splash Mountain Lodge is a neighbours‑free mountain cottage about 5 km from the city centre. A short drive puts you at Ripley's Aquarium and Anakeesta, about 7.7 km from Great Smoky Mountains National Park and roughly 18.5 km from The Island at Pigeon Forge. Chapel in the Glen, Morning Mist Village and A Jan Peitso Art are all nearby.

Secluded, rustic-chic interiors with a private furnished balcony or patio. Rooms feature a jetted bathtub and designer toiletries, plus a full kitchen with refrigerator, oven and stovetop. Entertainment includes a 60‑inch flat-screen TV and cosy common spaces. Free on-site parking keeps arrival easy.

Split your days between an outdoor pool and an indoor pool, soak in the hot tub or unwind in the sauna. Picnic areas, barbeque spots and gas grills make al fresco meals effortless. Private balcony and mountain views — wake up to crisp, pine-scented mornings.

Complimentary wired and wireless internet and an in-room desk make working on the go straightforward.

Taste local cuisine at the on-site restaurant. For hands-on meals, the cottage kitchen plus picnic and gas grill areas are ideal for cookouts.
