The Whiskey Lodge was a wonderful place to stay. My family and in-laws, 8 of us total, enjoyed the views from the back balconies the most. The Blackstone griddle on the back porch was great for making breakfast in the morning, as well as burgers in the evening. Each floor had their own bedroom and bathroom, which met all of our needs. There was separate heating and cooling for each floor, but it seemed to cut off after a certain time at night making it for a chilly rise and shine. The only thing that caught us off guard was that the top floor had two additional twin beds in a loft that requires climbing an approximate 10ft ladder. It was fine for my 9 year old to climb, but may not be suitable for much younger children. The bottom floor had most of the entertainment such as a pool table, video game table, arcade machine, and the hot tub. The main floor had a large TV that we used to watch some football! The location was great for accessing the surrounding towns and cities. It wasn’t too close nor too far, and a nearby cutoff road allowed for easy travel to the Smokey Mountains National Park entrance, as well as the back side of Gatlinburg near the main attractions. Pigeon Forge was a short drive from the property as well. We would definitely consider staying here again. The host, Gerhard, did an outstanding job communicating and making sure our trip, from beginning to end, was the best experience. Thank you!
