What a View Lodge is an amenity-stocked 3 bedroom with additional loft, 3 bath lodge perched over 3700 feet in elevation overlooking the Alarka Creek Valley and all the way to Clingman’s Dome in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. And the view… Is there a better view in the Smokies? The lighting, clouds, and shadows are constantly changing. We’re confident that your time with us will exceed your expectations in every way! What a View Lodge has 2674 sq. ft. of indoor living space on three levels and sleeps up to eight. The lodge features two decks, a large screened in porch with a dining area, a camp-style charcoal grill, and a flat gravel parking area large enough for three vehicles. What a View Lodge sits on a large 3+ acre wooded lot in a gated, 286-acre, community where privacy is an understatement.

Entry Level: The main level features a kitchen with a two-seat breakfast bar and all the appliances, pots and pans, and serving pieces to cook a great meal; a dining area; a large living room with cathedral ceilings and over-sized sliding glass doors; a washer/dryer combo; and a huge master bedroom and bath. In the living room there is a 43- inch HD/Smart TV, a gas log fireplace, and access to both the upper deck and the screen porch. The master bedroom features a king-sized bed and another 43-inch HD/Smart TV.

Lower Level: On the lower lever there are two bedrooms (one queen and one with two twin beds), one full bath, a large den, and another deck. The den has a large reclining sofa and double recliner love seat, with console, where you can relax while you enjoy the 65-inch HD/Smart TV, watch a movie on the DVD player (large collection of movies provided).

Loft/Upper Level: Upstairs is a large loft with a queen bed, desk, sitting area, and the third full bathroom.
Nearby Attractions: From What a View Lodge it is an easy drive to downtown Bryson City (10 miles) where you’ll find locally owned shops, hometown restaurants and breweries, and the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad. The GSMR features diesel and steam engine excursions into the Nantahala Gorge, up the Tuckasegee River, and – of course – the Polar Express! Not far away are the Deep Creek Recreation Area with hiking (three waterfalls), fishing, horseback riding, and tubing; the Appalachian Trail and Nantahala Outdoor Center for more hiking, white water rafting, zip lining and more; Harrah’s Cherokee Casino; Tsali Recreation Area for mountain biking, hiking, camping, and boating; the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and Blue Ridge Parkway; and the towns of Cherokee , Dillsboro and Sylva.
What a View Lodge winds along Alarka Creek until you head up the mountain. From there it gets steep, but it is asphalt-paved and well maintained. We’ll also help you keep a watch on any winter weather.

You must be 25 years of age to book this lodge.

Second stay, love this place!

You just can’t find a better view than this one. The last time we stayed here I told my husband that the only thing that could make it better was a hot tub. I got my wish and the hot tub is just the perfect addition. I love the 3 levels of this cabjn that were great when entertaining 3 generations of our family. This property has everything we could need.

Beautiful three story home

Magnificent views from the house which is near the top of the mountain. Don't try getting there in the snow!The kitchen is well stocked and has everything needed to cook for a family. This is the best-appointed home we have stayed in.It does need a gas grill outside or a large charcoal grill. Other than that we can think of nothing that could improve this house. It was a terrific family weekend (4 day) getaway.

Beautiful property. The view is incredible all day and amazing at night. Bedrooms are spread over 3 floors which gave our grown kids their space and privacy. Very clean and very well stocked with everything you could need.

Beautiful home only surpassed by the view

Our family of 6 enjoyed our vacation because of this beautiful home, its location and over all comfort. The screened porch was our favorite spot. We ate several meals at the house which were easily prepared in the designer and well equipped kitchen. We felt comfy and secure and had a wonderful time gazing at the magnificent view

Wow! Best mountain views I’ve ever seen!

House is as described in other reviews. Will definitely be back. Likely multiple times. Really enjoyed the NOC and hiking at Deep Creek Trail Head. Bryson City is nice. The Smokey Mountain Railroad was not our favorite, but might have felt differently if our son was under age 10.

"4 Traveling Sisters"

What a fabulous week my three sisters and I enjoyed in this beautiful home. Everything was perfect: the cleanliness, bedrooms/beds, well appointed kitchen, screened porch to enjoy a softly falling rain, but the 'star of the show' was the view from the lovely decks. Truly breathtaking! This was a beautiful memory making place that we will treasure forever. Thank you.

Amazing View

We picked this place to relax after spending time in Pigeon Forge. We were definitely able to do that. It's very quiet and peaceful. Everything was very clean, too. The beds were comfortable. The views are amazing and the pictures here didn't really do it justice. It's really stunning. It's a fairly long drive up that driveway, and we never encountered another car the whole time. The screened-in porch is also amazing and a great place to relax.

Spectacular views!

Everything was fantastic even though it rained the whole week. We saw the elk multiple days, enjoyed waterfalls, and just could not get enough of the mountains! The changing fog gave new views. I read one of the reviews previously, and did take and left more glass tumblers. The lack of extra dishes/silverware was the only annoying thing.

Perfect Getaway

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What a View Lodge was the perfect getaway! The house was spacious, spotless and had everything we needed. The house would easily accommodate families and friend groups with 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms. The view and setting are just incredible. If you can pull yourself away from the house, there is so much to do in the area. Bryson City, Sylva and Dillsboro offer fun day trips with hiking, shopping and plenty of restaurants. We will definitely be back!

Amazing House with an Awe Inspiring View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: One of the best VRBO homes that we've stayed in. Very clean, immaculate decor and furnishings, views from almost every room. Wonderful screened porch off the living room. The home also provides great privacy being one of only a few homes in a gated community on the top of the mountain. The drive up is something that Floridians aren't used to, but we did it several times and got used to the steep grades. Overall a top-tier rental experience!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We spent my 50th birthday weekend at What a View Lodge. It is aptly named, because the views were absolutely stunning! We were three couples and the house is well set up for that. The house was spotlessly clean. It is far enough away from things to feel like you've escaped, yet close enough to towns that heading in to explore for the day was very easy. The only recommendation I have is that there was not enough glassware for six adults; more wine glasses in particular are needed. I absolutely would book this home again!
