Who We Are

Your Hosts

Welcome! We are a family of four generations that have been enjoying the Great Smoky Mountains for many, many years. We decided a few years ago that if we needed to find a house big enough for our family of 20, then maybe other families needed large houses to accommodate their gathering. We have 3 large houses in our portfolio and one small house in town. We love the GSMNP and spend most of our time there. We often make a trip to Dollywood but always have a picnic at the Chimneys Picnic Area and float the stream at Metcalf Bottoms. We've done it ALL in the Smokies, so if you have any questions, just call! We will personally answer the phone!

Amazing house, just as detailed. Lynn and her husband were the most down to earth people and very accommodating! A perfect hidden spot up in the mountain of Gatlinburg, we even got to see black bears! The views were spectacular!

Vista Lodge was perfect for our 3 generation family. The view from its decks is spectacular. We saw more bears out our front door than we saw in the park.

This house was AMAZING! The space, beauty of the wood inside and out, the decks, the amenities, the whole family was very pleased. Also the location was almost at the very top of a mountain so we had beautiful views. We had a two minor cleaning issues when we arrived and the property manager addressed them immediately. She was excellent in communication! We all enjoyed seeing bears every day, especially the Mom with the two playful cubs. It was a short drive to Gatlinburg for groceries, shopping, and activities. And only a bit longer to see some waterfalls in the Smoky Mts or Pigeon Forge. We all highly recommend this house and would love to return.

Lynn was an amazing host. my husband asked a lot of questions before we arrived and she answered them all. The recommendation for breakfast had my daughter's wanting pancakes to take home with us. Lynn was available during our stay for any additional questions that arose. The house was clean, neat, beautifully decorated, and just had that home away from home feeling. The hot tub was the best way to wind down after our long days at a dance competition and exploring the town. We would definitely stay again at Bear Hollow or any place that Lynn owns.
