Preserve Resort, Theater & Games

Welcome to your perfect family vacation. When 24 people need one roof, this is where you stay. Six bedrooms, six baths, five king suites, a private home theater that seats the whole group, a game room loaded with pool table, air hockey and arcade games, a hot tub, a jacuzzi, a gas fireplace on every level, and sweeping Smoky Mountain views from multiple decks, all inside The Preserve Resort just minutes from Pigeon Forge. This is where big groups stop settling and start celebrating.

When 24 people need one roof, most cabins fall short. This grand three-level Preserve Resort lodge was built for the kind of trip that brings everyone together — reunions, milestone birthdays, multi-family vacations, and celebrations that deserve a setting worthy of the occasion. Six bedrooms, six baths, five king suites, a private home theater, a game room that runs on its own energy, a hot tub, a jacuzzi, and sweeping Smoky Mountain views from multiple decks. This is the Smokies for groups who refuse to compromise.

Main Level

Step inside to a soaring great room anchored by a gas fireplace, with an open-concept living and dining area and a fully equipped kitchen that makes cooking for a crowd feel completely manageable. Warm, spacious, and immediately comfortable — this is the floor where mornings start slow and evenings never want to end. Two king bedrooms sit just off the living area for guests who prefer easy single-level access, and a sofa bed in the main living room handles the overflow guest who always seems to show up. Step out from the main level onto the deck and the Smoky Mountain views open up all around you.

Upper Level

The upper level houses two additional king bedrooms — quiet, private, and elevated above the main floor energy. A sitting room with a sofa bed gives the upper level its own flexible lounge space, perfect for the smaller group within the larger party who wants their own corner of the lodge to retreat to after a full day together.

Lower Level

The lower level is where the real fun lives. The private home theater delivers a genuine cinematic experience — reclining seats, a large screen, and the kind of immersive setup that makes movie night feel like an event. The game room runs alongside it, fully stocked with a pool table, air hockey, and arcade games that keep the competition alive long after dinner. A king bedroom and a bunk room with two sets of bunks give the lower level sleeping flexibility for kids and larger parties. A sofa bed in the game room adds additional capacity. Direct access to the hot tub and jacuzzi on the lower deck makes this level its own self-contained destination for the group.

Outdoor Living

Multiple decks wrap around the lodge and give the full group sweeping Smoky Mountain views at every hour of the day — morning coffee above the ridgeline, golden hour drinks as the mountains glow, and long evenings in the private hot tub and jacuzzi under a clear East Tennessee sky. A charcoal BBQ grill and generous outdoor deck seating make al fresco evenings effortless for a group of any size. This is the kind of outdoor setup where someone always suggests staying one more night.

Getting Around

You're inside The Preserve Resort, minutes from Pigeon Forge and everything along the Parkway — Dollywood, The Island, live dinner shows, go-karts, restaurants, and family entertainment all within easy reach for a full day out. Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance are a short drive for hiking, waterfalls, and scenic drives through one of the most visited national parks in the country.

This is the lodge for the trip that deserves to be done right — big enough for everyone, equipped for every kind of evening, and set in the Smokies with views that remind the whole group exactly why they came.
