We truly loved everything about our five day stay at The Lodge. We had tons of room, with the teens in the lower floor being able to stay up late and play pool, while the adults could hang out in the comfortable living room, on the porch with it's breathtaking view, or in the plenty of seating out by the firepit. We used the hot tub every night and it was clean and hot. We cooked our own dinners for the entire group, and the kitchen had plenty of plates, cups, pans, and silverware. (Be aware, it doesn't have some of those basic condiments such as salt or oil like some rentals have, but we knew this and brought our own. I just don't want you to be surprised!) King-sized beds were comfortable and had great sheets and blankets, the bathrooms were all great. Everything was super clean! Mountain Laurel Chalet had amazing communication, everything clear and easy for checking in and out. We will 100% come back to this house the next time we're in Gatlinburg.
