Welcome to Summit Castle, a one-of-a-kind luxury log castle. Set on a private 3.5 acre lot, Summit Castle is a stunning 6 bedroom, 6 1/2 bathroom mountain lodge with an impressive list of amenities. As you pull into the circle drive, park under the portico and walk through the double castle doors, you will be amazed at the magnificent views of the Smoky Mountains from this massive 3 story cabin! Each space in this rustic-style cabin has been beautifully designed, from the stone turret and log exterior, incredible open great room and dining area, and barn-style theater room.
This 4,570 sq. ft. Pigeon Forge cabin has enough room for multiple families and couples. The adults will be happy with the five king bed master suites with attached full bathrooms. The kids and kids at heart will be ecstatic with their sleeping options, including a bunk room that sleeps 8, several daybeds (for kids that prefer to sleep in the same room as their parents) and futons. For the comfort of all guests, the Castle is recommended for no more than 14 adults and for no more than 20 guests total, including adults and kids who can sleep on the bunk beds, daybeds and futons.
Located in the Waldens Creek area off of Wears Valley Road, you will find an entertainment paradise! This cabin offers a wide variety of amenities such as, a barn-style theater room with comfy reclining theater seats and a massive 82" HDTV, with premium cable and On Demand; Xbox One; Official Pop-A-Shot Dual Shot Basketball Arcade Game; pool table; air hockey; and multicade arcade system (containing tons of classics like Pac-Man, Galaga, Frogger, Donkey Kong, Space Invaders, Ms. Pac-Man, etc.). If you prefer to play outdoor games, the large flat yard is perfect for games such as the corn hole that is available for Summit Castle guests.
Summit Castle features a beautiful fully-equipped kitchen with natural-wood cabinets and granite countertops. Feeding a large group is a breeze with 2 ovens, 2 built-in microwaves, 2 refrigerators, 2 dishwashers, 2 sinks, pots and pans, cooking utensils and ample counter space to prep. All guests will be able to dine together on the 2 large log tables, kitchen peninsula, and the covered outdoor dining table just outside the dining area.
Looking for a more laid back environment? This cabin also offers your very own large hot tub and a resort-style gas fire pit Rock your cares away in the cabin’s many rocking chairs. Each morning, you can awake to incredible mountain views that leave no doubt why they are called the Smoky Mountains.
In this 24/7 world, we can rarely getaway from our jobs. Summit Castle has its own mountain-view office, complete with a rustic wood desk and chairs, and fast Wifi.
Unlike many area cabins that are on the side of a steep mountain and have no usable front or back yard, Summit Castle has a beautifully landscaped large front yard and a slightly sloped grass backyard that is ideal for 2 and 4 legged guests. You must indicate the number of dogs you are bringing, if any, in the guest count section of your reservation. The nonrefundable pet fee is $150 for the first dog and that fee is automatically included in your rental rate assuming that you correctly included the dog in your guest count. If you are bringing a second dog, a nonrefundable pet fee of $30 per night will be requested after making the reservation. House-trained dogs of any size are welcome. You are responsible for picking up after your dog(s) and keeping your dog(s) in a crate (guests must bring them -- they are not provided) when guests are not in the home. If additional costs are incurred for cleaning, pick-up, or damage as a result of the dog(s), you will be billed for those costs.
Summit Castle has a dedicated housekeeping crew that cleans and maintains it to high standards (most cabin rentals are serviced by rotating crews who clean many cabins per day). Many previous guests have described the Castle as very clean. We have two full sets of luxurious sheets and towels for the Castle that are meticulously cleaned and switched out before each stay, so you are not dealing with linens that were previously used in a cabin that allowed smoking or fraternity parties. We have added liquid hand soap to each sink to ensure that all guests can continue to keep themselves and others germ-free.

Listing Interaction
Although I am not available in person, I am just a cell phone call away. I answer my phone 24/7 and contact my housekeeping and maintenance crew that live less than 10 minutes from the cabin. Their response rate and time is excellent.
Other things to note
There are 3 security cameras that record activity on the driveway, parking area and front porch. Those cameras are video only (no audio). There are no cameras inside the cabin or on any of the back decks.
Approximately one week before a guest's stay, I email guests the check in information. This information contains the door code so you can go directly to the cabin at the 4:00PM check in time. That information also contains the cabin address, directions, what is and isn't included, how to work things in the cabin, check out reminders, etc.
