Amazing visit
We truly enjoyed our stay at the Golden View Lodge one of our favorite features was the amount of outdoor seating to enjoy the wonderful views. It was nice to be able to come to the cabin and get away from the hustle of the day and just relax. The cabin was well maintained and clean. We will certainly be back to the cabins.

Amazing Girls Weekend
We had a wonderful time staying at the Golden View Lodge. There was plenty of room to spread out and we could not get enough of the view. The cabin was clean and well-stocked. We are planning to stay again next year!

Amazing!
Not only was the cabin perfect the views were spectacular. My family and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Everything we needed was provided. Sometimes a picture online can be deceiving but this was not, it was accurate and more. When I first drove up to the property and saw the cabin then the views I thought this was money well spent. We had to cut our stay short by a day due to bad snowstorms and some good advice from ya’ll, however I still feel we got a very good deal. Thank you.

Family Christmas
We had a great Christmas in this cabin for a family ranging from 2-73. Everyone had a great time. The views are beautiful. The kitchen had everything we needed. The deck was big enough for the kids to have fun and us to sit with our coffee and relax.

FANTASTIC PLACE!!!
Without a doubt one of the best places we've stayed! We travel around with this group of friends and family ages 7 - 56, and not a single disappointment! We saw a total of 6 different bears from cubs to full size Male that walked right up to the cabin! Truely exceptional!

Absolute perfection!
I cannot say enough about what a wonderful trip we had & such a comfortable, hospitable environment to allow my family to really relax & enjoy one another & the beauty of The Smokies. There were a total of 18 of us, My husband & I, our 4 children & their spouses, & our 8 grandchildren (2 ea) 7 mth, 10 mths, 1,2,3,4,5,& 7 & remarkably every single one has said it was their best vacation EVER! The rooms were spacious & comfortable, with splenty of room to spread out, & plenty of room to gather together. Our favorite place being the back porch overlooking the mountains. The pool? Well, we are from Florida & pretty spoiled, & maybe if we were there a little longer & desperate to entertain the kids, but it is not convenient & not very inviting, especially when there are so many creeks & easily accessible rivers nearby, but I can see the draw if there longer. The Master Bathtub was large enough for the bigger kids (6 of them!) to enjoy together. The kitchen was perfect, so well stocked & big enough for multiple chefs to prepare meals. With 2 full fridges available, there was ample room for food. The grill was used every night! One of the highlights was also scary, but Oh what a story! One of the Moms had seen a Momma Bear & 2 cubs our first day in, so we had been on the lookout, but this was wild! The older kids were all gathered on the back porch with blocks & toys when one of the moms happened to turn at the perfect time to see a bear entering the front porch, giving us just enough time to herd the kids into the family room from the back porch where they were able to watch the bear playing with their toys before ambling on around the porch & back down the driveway. Literally! I cannot tell you how much fun we had & being in such comfortable surroundings had so much to do with it. A couple of the adults had to work & were able to do so without interruption, while the rest of us were able to just enjoy ourselves immensely. I loved being near the action, but fully out of the congestion of Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg with just a short, beautiful drive to visit & stock up. Thank you for providing such a special location where one can sit comfortably & enjoy one another. This will be such a special memory for these kids first trip to the mountains! We just needed 2 more nights! Or months!!!

Wonderful Family Vacation
4/5 of my children and their families, my sister and brother-in-law and my daughter-in-laws parents spent the week with my husband and I at the Golden View Lodge. The cabin location was beautiful and serene - just far enough from the congestion of Pigeon Forge but close enough to venture out no matter what time of the day. The bedrooms were spacious and had comfortable beds. The kitchen and bathrooms were adequate for our group as well. The men spent the evenings playing pool while the women and children enjoyed the hot tub after a long days of adventures in Sevierville, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We also enjoyed drinks and games around the fire pit a couple evenings and were blessed to see a momma bear with her three cubs our last night there. The hosts were amazing and quick to address our concerns and even brought a new grill when the one there had a grease fire. Lots of love and laughter was shared and memories were made there that will last a lifetime. We are already looking forward to returning next year!

We loved this cabin and had plenty of room for 15 of us when everyone was there one night. Lots of game playing, hot tubbing, porch sitting, bear watching. Easy to get to National Park and Dollywood. I would definitely recommend!

Great family trip!
We vacationed with our teenager, adult children and their families. Ages ranged from 9 months-50yrs and this place worked really well for our whole crew. Everyone had enough personal space as well as plenty of space to hang out, eat dinners together and relax in the common areas or on the porches. Beautiful views all around and plenty of outdoor areas and seating. Kitchen was well stocked, and we loved that there was enough table seating for all of us in the dining area. We were there in late April and the days were warm, but nights still got cold. The heater didn’t work one night but the owners were very quick to respond and get that fixed and we had no other issues during our stay. Lovely home all around.

Wonderful place for family get away!
This place is fantastic for large families! We had 6 bedrooms and 5 baths. Our four kids, their significant others and two grand babies all fit in the "man cave" basement and enjoyed the kitchen, fireplace, pool table, tvs and hot tub down there! We were on the first floor with an amazing master bath, fireplace and gorgeous living room. We still had a bedroom and bath to spare. Thank you for a great family vacation!

This Cabin was by far the best I’ve had the pleasure of enjoying while taking a much needed break!! Plenty of space for more than one family to enjoy together!! I had asked for a Christmas tree and they made sure my needs were met with the most beautiful Christmas decorations and a lovely tree!! Definitely recommend this lovely Cabin. Planning on many more stays ??

We’ve stayed in this cabin several times, and as usual, it was a wonderful experience! The cabin is so clean and well equipped, all we needed to bring was food. My youngest granddaughter was so excited to find there was already a.decorated Christmas tree in the great room. You feel you’re at home with plenty of room to spread out! The two long tables can accommodate one for eating, and the other for a puzzle, card games, etc. The Tisch family are very nice and accommodating. They are easily contacted if there are any questions.

Relaxing and comfortable
Our group of 10 friends enjoyed our stay at Golden View very much. The cabin was spotlessly clean, comfortable, and well equipped. The view off the back deck was indeed golden. The owners were attentive and kind. I’ve visited the Smokies at least 20 times with family and friends and this is the nicest cabin I’ve stayed in.

Beautiful house with privacy and phenomenal views. Our group of 10 adults had plenty of room. The house was very clean and well equipped. The huge deck had ample, comfortable seating to enjoy the view and peaceful setting. We were even treated to a visit from a beautiful, calm mama bear and her two cubs, as well as another single bear. One of the many highlights of our stay. The owner was very responsive to questions. Highly recommend Golden View Lodge.

We enjoyed our stay in this beautiful cabin with the best view in Wears Valley. We had a group of 15 and there was plenty of room for everyone.

My family and my two siblings and their families thoroughly enjoyed our stay here! There was plenty of room to have fun together and yet be apart if that’s what we wanted. The view was amazing and we got a visit from a mama black bear and her two cubs twice! Thanks for making our family getaway a fantastic memory!

We ventured to the Smoky Mountains for our annual family vacation and the Golden View Lodge was perfect! Close to Gaitlinburg and Pigeon Forge but secluded and quiet. The views are breathtaking and the wildlife did not disappoint. Would definitely recommend. Thank you for the memories.

Review on Golden View Lodge
We had a group of 11 people and had a wonderful time. This is the 4th time to stay in this cabin and it is always wonderful. A well stocked kitchen and plenty of room to play games and watch television. The hot tub is wondeful and the location is perfect. Highly recommend.

Fabubulous
We only had three days to stay but WOW, 'fabulous' is one word to describe the house and we had such gracious hosts, even helped us find the location in the dark. The facilities were nothing but magnificent with everything needed to enjoy a very comfortable stay - even when it was cold outside. The views were spectacular from way above any surrounding houses. The decorations all around matched the mountain beauty - even some with a spiritual message. We would like to plan another visit when the leaves are still on the trees and the temps are a bit warmer. We left with marvelous memories and footprints of a bear on the side of the car - a visitor one night after rain that gave him a muddy paw.
