Upon entering this expansive property, guests will be greeted by the grandeur of two-story ceilings and a majestic floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace with gas logs. The great room exudes warmth, creating a spacious and inviting open-concept living space. Adjacent to the gathering area, a large dining table offers panoramic views of the Smoky Mountains, providing the perfect place to enjoy meals with those you love.

The chef's kitchen, seamlessly integrated into the great room, is a culinary delight, equipped with high-end appliances, a professional gas range, expansive stone countertops, and ample space for multiple chefs.

A treadmill is also available, as is a cornhole yard game for when you feel the urge for a little friendly competition. For electric vehicle owners, a dedicated EV J1772 Destination charging station is provided inside the garage.

The main level deck wraps around the back of the home, offering a haven for every guest. Delight in an unusual swinging "bed", located next to an outdoor wood-burning fireplace, beckons for leisurely reading, and ample seating provides a perfect spot to soak in the views. A separate screened-in turret with rocking chairs ensures relaxation, rain or shine.

Venturing upstairs to the loft, discover a Peleton exercise bike, offering complimentary 30-minute workouts (or the option to log in with your own credentials). The loft is also home to a cocktail arcade gaming console and a table for playing games and building puzzles.

Descending to the property’s lower level, you’ll find a second spacious gathering area with a TV and gas fireplace. Adjacent to this space, a sunroom with an indoor hot tub provides stunning views and is the perfect place to sooth your tired muscles after a long day spent out and about.

The lower level is home to two king suites, each featuring a luxury mattress, a Smart TV, and easy access to bathrooms. Additionally, a basement bunk room with a queen Murphy bed and twin Murphy bunk beds accommodates extra guests.

The lower level patio offers ground-level access to the backyard and the fire pit area, creating a perfect setting for nights under the stars roasting s'mores. Outside on the terrace, a gas grill awaits the barbecue enthusiasts.

Great Family Time
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful lodge. It was the first time we have gathered as a family in a while and we were looking for a place that would meet all of our needs. We definitely found it. The gourmet kitchen was perfect and well equipped for the meals we prepared. The bedrooms were comfortable and the beds were heavenly. We spent a lot of time in front of the fireplace, enjoying each other‘s company.Having a garage to pull into was a nice bonus. The privacy was well worth the extra drive time, to this remote location. We got to experience the fall colors, a snowfall and beautiful views of the mountains. The only negatives were that there were quite a few bugs, both dead and alive. An extra spraying or two by the extermination company would go a long way to alleviate that. It also did not appear that the carpets had been vacuumed very well before our arrival. We tried using the Central VAC while we were there and it did not work. It turned on but had no suction. That might explain why The vacuuming had not been done well. It would help to have a functioning vacuum on site. It would also help to have a small electric blower that could be used to blow off the back deck and fire pit area, especially during the fall season when there are so many leaves covering up these areas. None of these things would keep us from returning, just some things to consider for the future. Thank you for sharing your beautiful home and for providing a great place for us to gather.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a detailed and kind review. It means a lot to know that the lodge brought your family together for such a special stay, and we’re delighted that the home, kitchen, and views helped make it memorable. We truly appreciate your helpful feedback about the vacuum, pest control, and outdoor maintenance. Those details are very important to us, and your notes help us improve both the home and future guest experiences. Our team will be sure to address each of those items right away. It’s wonderful to hear you were able to enjoy the fall colors, the snow, and cozy time by the fireplace—what a perfect combination. Thank you again for choosing to stay with us and for sharing your experience with such care. We’d be honored to welcome your family back anytime.

Loved the house!
Loved the house! Saw a small bear in the back yard about 8 pm. He was eating the berry buses and we watched him from the deck. Our daughter was in the hot tub when the bear crawled up the hill. Recommend the Heirloom restaurant for a quiet dinner for adults. Have fun at Wood Fern!

Thank you for sharing your experience—we’re so glad you loved your stay at Wood Fern Lodge! What an unforgettable moment to safely watch a bear enjoying the berries right from the deck.

Thank you as well for the restaurant recommendation—we love when guests share their local favorites. We hope you’ll join us again soon for more beautiful memories in the mountains.

This is our 2nd mountain home we have had the pleasure staying in and we had a great time. There is so much room for 3 boys to run around and keep busy. The view is amazing and we LOVE the yellow flowering buses out front. You have a great home! Thanks for letting us stay for the week!

Thank you so much for staying with us again—we’re thrilled you chose another Mountain Laurel home for your family getaway! It sounds like the boys had plenty of space to play and enjoy themselves, which makes us so happy to hear. And yes, those yellow blooms out front are such a cheerful welcome to the mountains! We’re so glad you enjoyed the views and your time here, and we’d love to host you for a future visit whenever the Smokies call you back.

Best Rest Ever!
I can’t sit still at home; there is ALWAYS something to do. Woodfern Lodge is a sanctuary to me. I can do all the things I do at home, (cook, clean, do laundry), but the majority of my time is spent in being still…looking at God’s creation…talking with friends and family…resting. I get the best sleep I ever do! Woodfern Lodge is the best life reset I’ve ever found!

Sanctuary and Refuge
This has been a fabulous vacation! I’m relaxing and doing only what I want! What a glorious gift Wood Fern Lodge is. Great beds, fabulous kitchen, and magical views of Mt. LeConte. I enjoyed the screened in porch for outdoor relaxation when it rained. We enjoyed a trip to Bush Beans Visitor Center as an interesting rainy-day excursion. You must take the Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail in your car. We saw 4 bears: boy, mom, and 2 cubs. I look forward to my next visit. Wood Fern Lodge is an absolute sanctuary and personal refuge.

This was our first time staying at Wood Fern Lodge. We really enjoyed our stay and made lots of memories! We did have an encounter with a pretty large black bear while playing putt putt in Gatlinburg. We also had a visit from a black bear at the back porch. He decided to lay down and relax at the basement door. He eventually walked off eating on some blueberry bushes. Wonderful encounter! We will definitely be back!!

Beautiful Home
This is the most impressive Mountain Laurel home we have stayed in. Extremely well maintained and full of amenities. The Lutron Homeworks smart home system can be difficult to immediately grasp and resulted in some inadvertent lights being shut off or turned on at inopportune times. This is not the fault of the home, though. I would suggest guests take a few moments to familiarize themselves with the system by researching online prior to arrival. If there is one item that might need to be noted, it is that the landscaping has not been maintained and is not represented correctly by the photos on this listing. Many shrubs are overgrown and the area is very weedy. Certainly not enough of an issue to make this property any less deserving of a 5 star review.

Exceeded all expectations!
Fern Lodge exceeded all expectations. The property was secluded, exceptionally maintained and offered many unexpected amenities. Morning coffee on the screened in patio while listening to the sounds of nature was so peaceful. The kitchen is a chef’s dream with high end appliances and stocked with every possible gadget. The mattresses were exquisite. While not an issue for our SUV, the drive up to the house was very steep however, worth the views.

Very enjoyable stay
Relaxing home with everything you could need. Very enjoyable stay. All the amenities of home. Clean, comfortable beds, plenty of room for alone time. Seen several black bears walking past while lounging on the deck. We rented this property because when looking at the pictures it had a treadmill. When we arrived it wasn’t there. Made a call and they brought the next morning. My daughter is a track long distance runner and it was very important for us. When we come back we will be staying there again.

Simply THE BEST!
We stayed with friends at the Woodfern Lodge and have never enjoyed a mountain getaway more! The home was just that - a home…with everything you could want. It had multiple gorgeous, comfortable living spaces for time to gather as well as be alone; the Mountain View was spectacular from everywhere; the kitchen was extremely spacious and exceedingly equipped; the fireplaces (both indoor and outdoor) made for beautiful, cozy gatherings; the bedrooms were very comfortable and private. My favorite spaces were the screened porch and the deck! Because of the privacy of the location and the top tier accommodations, Woodfern Lodge exceeded even my lofty expectations. I can’t wait to return!

Cannot say enough about the MLC staff and this cabin - simply amazing!! Wish you wouldn't share so we can keep it as our own family secret!! Thanks for all the special memories! Our son got engaged and Mountain Laurel dropped off a gift to celebrate the occasion. The location is so private--we felt like this is what Gatlinburg used to be like before all the attractions. I would say it was nice to be close enough to everything but completely secluded back at Wood Fern Lodge. The home is spacious and stunning. We will be back!!

Perfect Getaway
Wood Fern Lodge was the perfect getaway! My husband and I joined another couple in Gatlinburg and stayed in this 100 Collection property, and never want to stay anywhere else! It was secluded, spacious, with lots of gathering spots to see the mountain views - for time alone or with a group. The main floor's great room was beautiful, the screened-in porch with rockers, the deck with swing and outdoor fireplace, the family room on the lower level, the game area in the loft...we enjoyed it all! The bedrooms were all private and spacious, with adjoining bathrooms but one of my favorite amenities is the fully equipped - large - kitchen. I didn't mind doing dishes looking out the window at Mt. LeConte! Of course, I could also have loaded either of the two dishwashers! Thank you, MLC! Wood Fern Lodge - the PERFECT majestic, private, fun, relaxing, amenity-filled personal resort-away-from-home. Would 100% recommend for an upscale vacation...except when I want to be there! The only thing wrong with Wood Fern Lodge is not staying long enough!

Answer:

Patti,

Coming in January will be a great time to visit as the crowds dissappate from the holidays.  We love so many restaurants and here are some you might consider from one of our blogposts.  Here are some wonderful activities to consider as well.  Woodfern however is so lovely you might find yourselves simply staying there and enjoying the privacy and luxury of that home.  We are available at the office to give you more suggestions as well.  Please feel free to call us at 865-436-5277.

Many thanks!
