5.0 · Guest Favorite · Gatlinburg, Tennessee · Great Smoky Mountains
Copper Lodge is an 8,000+ square foot luxury vacation rental in the Chalet Village North community of Gatlinburg, Tennessee. It sleeps 26 guests in 8 private bedrooms, and every bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom.
The whole house is yours. Nothing inside is shared, and your stay includes access to three private community clubhouses with seasonal pools, year-round pickleball and tennis, basketball courts and playgrounds.
Mornings start at the coffee bar with the Smokies in every window. Afternoons split off: the kids in the game room, someone on the Peloton facing the ridgelines, grandparents riding the elevator up to a quiet suite. Evenings end around the stone fireplace, or rotating between the hot tub and the barrel sauna as the stars come out.
It's built for family reunions, milestone birthdays, multi-family vacations, and mastermind groups and corporate retreats, with everything thought through so you can focus on the people, not the logistics.
Tour the lodge's game room, gym, coffee bar, elevator, barrel sauna and hot tub, then fly over Chalet Village and the Smokies that surround it.
Six reasons groups choose Copper Lodge, from a barrel sauna with a Smoky Mountain view to an elevator that reaches every floor.
Copper Lodge has a private outdoor barrel sauna with a large window at the back, so you can watch the ridgelines while you warm up after a day of hiking or exploring Gatlinburg.
The hot tub sits on the covered lower deck, with direct access to the game room, cornhole and the sauna. It's professionally cleaned and maintained between every stay.
The gym has large windows facing the mountains and an XL TV, plus equipment most rentals don't offer.
Bedrooms 6, 7 and 8, including the bunk suite that sleeps 8
Great room, chef's kitchen, dining, Bedrooms 4 and 5
Game room, kitchenette, hot tub deck, Bedrooms 1, 2 and 3
One elevator · every level
Three floors is a lot of stairs with luggage, groceries, toddlers or grandparents. Copper Lodge has a private elevator serving every level, with a cab at least 52 inches deep and a doorway at least 32 inches wide.
Your stay includes access to three separate private community clubhouses, each with its own outdoor pool. Pick a different one each day, from mountain views to a water slide for the kids.
Pickleball courts are about half a mile from the lodge and open all year, 24 hours a day. Evening lights mean you can keep playing after dark, even in the off-season when the pools are closed.
8,000+ square feet across three levels, designed so a group of 26 can be together and still find a quiet corner.
The heart of the lodge is a great room with 30-foot vaulted ceilings, a wall of windows looking out to the mountains, and a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace. An oversized sectional seats the whole group for movie nights and morning coffee.
The main kitchen is fully stocked and built for big groups, with a second kitchenette on the game room level. Ask Tim and Bree about a private chef or catering.
The lower level is made for game nights and movie marathons. It opens straight onto the hot tub deck and has its own kitchenette for snacks and drinks.
An expansive covered deck wraps the lodge, with a fire table, Adirondack chairs, a gas grill and flat-top griddle, and a dining table long enough for everyone.
All 8 bedrooms have their own en-suite bathroom, many with rain showers and river-rock floors, plus sulfate- and paraben-free toiletries.
Single-cup or a full pot for the group, with organic coffee pods, real cane sugar syrups and a milk frother.
A crib, pack 'n plays with sheets, two high chairs and children's dinnerware. Stair gates and an infant bath on request.
A large, nearly flat driveway for cars, vans or a group bus, a Level 2 EV charger, and self check-in with a smart lock.
Chalet Village is one of the best places in Gatlinburg to see black bears. Guests often spot them safely from the windows.
A great room that seats everyone, dining for 26, fast Wi-Fi and desks, a 100-inch TV for presentations, and a private chef or catering on request. Then the sauna, hot tub and gym to reset.
Check live availability and book directly with Tim & Bree. Copper Lodge books up early for fall color, the holidays and summer in the Smokies.

“Beautiful home, wonderful amenities, so many different seating areas and comfy places to gather, play and relax with friends and family. Perfectly stocked, beautiful kitchen! Tim and Bree were always responsive and helpful. We would love to go back!”
“This house was a dream house for a family of 24 ranging from 78 to 2 months old… every detail was thought through, from accessibility with the elevator and ramp to baby-needed kitchenware and bedding. Truly a wonderful space that allows a family to be together with a breathtaking view.”
“Our family (17 of us) has vacationed together for almost 25 years in a variety of states and settings. We all agree that your house was the best we've ever stayed in and you the best, most attentive hosts!”
“The giant kitchen was amazing. We were able to cook for our entire group, no problem! Between the two cooktops and four ovens, we used them all… Having Tim & Bree as hosts was like having friends be your tour guide. We did everything they recommended.”
“We stayed here for my mother's 70th birthday. The elevator made it easy for her to enjoy every floor. The ramp to the front door was appreciated too… We loved the sauna and hot tub. The cherry on top was the location. It's super close to the National Park.”
“STAY HERE. The Copper Lodge is hands down the best home I've stayed in in the Smokies. Fully loaded for a big group. Perfect location right by downtown Gatlinburg and the National Park. We loved rotating between the sauna and hot tub.”
“What an awesome home with even more awesome hosts. Tim and Bree were super helpful on our company get away. They accommodated very graciously and always responded right away to any questions. I would highly recommend staying here. The home is beautiful.”
“Everyone had their own private bathroom, made it nice for when we all needed to get ready at the same time… we saw a mama bear and 3 cubs from inside the home (safely through the window). We want to make this an annual trip.”
“The location was ideal, just minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We explored Anakeesta, enjoyed great restaurants and hiked in Great Smoky Mountains National Park without dealing with traffic. If you're looking for a top-tier luxury stay in Gatlinburg for a large group… THIS IS IT.”

Chalet Village sits above Gatlinburg with quick access to the Gatlinburg Bypass, so you can reach the National Park, downtown and Pigeon Forge without the Parkway traffic. From Tennessee's only ski slopes a few minutes up the road to moonshine tours that pick your group up at the door, here's what our guests love most. Drive times are approximate.
America's most visited national park starts at the Sugarlands entrance, about 15 minutes away. Expect waterfalls, wildlife, scenic drives and more than 800 miles of trails. Newfound Gap Road crosses the park to North Carolina.
The highest point in the Smokies and in Tennessee at 6,643 feet. A short, steep paved path leads to an observation tower with views over the ridgelines. The road to the top closes in winter.

One of the park's most popular waterfall hikes, with an 80-foot, two-tier waterfall at the end. Check the park website for current trail conditions before you go.

Reached from the Roaring Fork drive via the Trillium Gap Trail, Grotto Falls is the only waterfall in the park you can walk behind.

One of the tallest peaks in the eastern US, and home to LeConte Lodge, reachable only on foot. The Alum Cave Trail is the most popular route, with views and rock formations along the way.

Tennessee's only ski area sits just up the mountain from Chalet Village, so you can be on the slopes in minutes instead of hours. Snowmaking keeps the trails open through the winter season (typically mid-November to March, weather permitting), with rentals, a ski and snowboard school for first-timers and night skiing.

No skiing experience needed. Ober's Snow Tubing Park has a 350-foot run with a 50-foot vertical drop and a Magic Carpet lift that carries you and your tube back to the top. On select evenings, Cosmic Tubing adds lights and music after dark. Sessions sell out on busy weekends, so book ahead for a big group.

Ride the scenic chairlift to the top of Mount Harrison (3,400+ feet), then fly back down on more than a mile of zipline. The longest of the three runs stretches about 3,280 feet and soars more than 300 feet above the ground. Each run has four side-by-side lines, so friends can race each other down. Riders must weigh 80 to 250 pounds.

Drive up in minutes, or ride the 2.1-mile aerial tramway from downtown Gatlinburg. Up top: an alpine slide and mountain coaster, an indoor ice rink with ice bumper cars, a wildlife encounter, shops and dining, open year-round.
Get muddy on a guided off-road ride. WildSide Adventure Park in Pigeon Forge has about 900 acres and 15+ miles of private mountain trails with roughly 1,500 feet of elevation change. You drive 2-, 4- or 6-seat side-by-sides on a guided tour of about 90 minutes, or ride along with a guide behind the wheel. Drivers must be 18+ with a valid license.

Shops, restaurants, rides and a choreographed fountain show, anchored by the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. Pigeon Forge also has dinner shows, outlet shopping and go-karts.

Our favorite way for a group to taste the Smokies' moonshine heritage without anyone having to drive. The Crawl loads you onto its party bus, The Crawler, with a Spirit Guide and up to five distillery stops with tastings at each, at partners like Ole Smoky, Sugarlands Distilling Co., Tennessee Shine Co. and Junction 35 Spirits. Everyone gets a Crawl Band wristband for free tastings and discounts at partner distilleries after the tour. For Copper Lodge groups, a Private Crawl reserves the whole bus for up to 17 guests, lets you choose the date, time and route, and picks you up right at the cabin.
Downtown Gatlinburg is lined with tasting rooms within a few blocks of each other. Ole Smoky Moonshine's Holler (903 Parkway) has a porch with live music. Sugarlands Distilling Co. (805 Parkway) offers still house tours and its Back Porch concert series. Doc Collier Moonshine (519 Parkway) is run by descendants of a local moonshiner. Tastings are for guests 21+.
Prefer wine or cider? Apple Barn Winery and Apple Barn Hard Cider Co. sit on a working apple orchard in Sevierville, Mountain Valley Winery in Pigeon Forge and Hillside Winery in Sevierville pour sweet Southern and fruit wines. All four are Crawl partners, and The Crawl plans to add dedicated Vines and Cider Crawls.
“As longtime Gatlinburg residents, we know and love the Great Smoky Mountains in every season. We take pride in creating a refined, welcoming retreat where every detail is designed with comfort and care.”
