Sleeps 28 | Indoor Pool, Theater, Game Room, Hot Tub, Views | Marco Polo Lodge

Welcome to Marco Polo Lodge by AvantStay, your four-level Smoky Mountain getaway where adventure meets relaxation and every corner is packed with fun. Whether you're planning a big family vacation or a celebration with friends, this warm and inviting cabin is built to host unforgettable moments for up to 28 guests—all set against a backdrop of serene mountain views.

Step inside and settle into the spacious living room where plush leather seating and a glowing electric fireplace invite you to kick back and stay awhile. Just beyond, a fully equipped kitchen makes mealtime a group affair. It has all the appliances you need to whip up home-cooked meals (including a Keurig) and double dining tables that easily accommodate large dinners. Step outside to one of many decks, grab your morning coffee, and soak up the misty mountain views from one of several seating areas. When you’re ready to unwind, take a dip in the bubbling hot tub while watching the sun set behind the Smokies.

Entertainment is the name of the game at Marco Polo Lodge. Dive into your private indoor swimming pool year-round, no matter the weather. Head downstairs to the game room for some friendly competition with foosball, billiards, or classic arcade games. When it’s time to unwind, the theater room is ready for movie marathons, complete with futons that double as extra sleeping space.

Eight cozy bedrooms—each with its own ensuite bathroom and TV—ensure everyone has a comfortable place to recharge. Two king suites are located on the main floor, while four more king bedrooms sit upstairs, two of which offer direct access to the deck. Downstairs, two bunk rooms with queen-over-queen beds are perfect for kids, teens, or those young at heart.

As a guest, you’ll also enjoy access to resort amenities and be just a short drive from Pigeon Forge’s top attractions—from Dollywood thrills and Ripley’s Aquarium to the scenic trails of Gatlinburg and Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

At Marco Polo Lodge, it’s not just a stay—it’s a full-on experience, wrapped in rustic charm and built for making memories.

If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife like us, a trip to the Smoky Mountains is a special treat. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, waterfalls, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. Over 200 million years old, the ancient mountains allow visitors the unique opportunity to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
