Roaring Fork Lodge was about 1 mile from downtown Gatlinburg so the location was great. There were 15 in our group and sleeping space worked well for our group. Bathrooms worked but only three full bathrooms and 3 half baths. In the lower level there were three bedrooms and only one full bathroom, so some sharing. The bottom level had a bunk room but no bathroom. The kitchen was well-stocked except for silverware. There were only 9 forks and 3 or 4 spoons and similar number of knives. We ended up buying plastic ware. The grill was advertised as a working grill but needed to be cleaned and seasoned. These concerns aside, the house was roomy and spacious. The game room and media room were great for the kids. The decks were wonderful for sitting and gathering. The biggest concern was also the biggest treat….bears. We saw many bear every day, up close and personal. One came up to the front door. Others came up on the decks, one tried to open the latch on the door, which fortunately was locked. One napped on the yard. Others walked by the fire pit. As fun as it was to see these bears, we had to be aware when we were outside or on the decks. It was obvious that past renters had fed them, which is dangerous for people and bears. The owner, Chris, was easy to reach and addressed any concerns we had. His communiques were thorough and very informative. I’d gladly rent from him again but might choose a house that had a better bedroom to bathroom ratio.
