Private Cabin Retreat Adventure in the Smoky Mountains

Plan your class trip to a luxurious cabin deep in the heart of the Smoky Mountains!  Take the road less traveled on a wilderness retreat that also embraces the creature comforts of 16 bedrooms and an indoor pool!  Think of it as “glamping” for your group!   

WHAT YOU GET

Experience two nights and three days in the magnificent Smoky Mountains, isolated from the crowds and surrounded by natural splendor.  The Big Vista Lodge is nestled among the trees and boasts magnificent, panoramic views of the mountains.  64 guests can sleep comfortably in 16 rooms with private baths.  Start each day in the crisp, fresh air on one of the cabin’s huge decks or covered porches!   Your lodge is equipped with a massive, fully stocked kitchen on the main floor so you can prepare home-cooked meals or relax and order in.  Immense picture windows offer breathtaking views in the main entry, and a cozy stone fireplace in the living room makes for a perfect game night or impromptu performance space.   Big Vista Lodge keeps the kids occupied with a huge game room, complete with full-sized arcade games and a pool table.  They’ll also love the convenience of a 15’x32’ INDOOR pool!  An outdoor fireplace, hot tub and observation room are part of the fun as well.  Pop some popcorn and grab a spot in the 30-seat theater room for movie night!

Ripley’s Aquarium 

On the must-do list is Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies.  Voted America’s #1 aquarium by TripAdvisor, it is also a top destination for viewing penguins.  Yep- right in the heart of Tennessee!  Pet stingrays and horseshoe crabs, check out 12 ft. sharks and explore the aquarium in a series of clear underwater tunnels.

Rafting in the Smokies

The early birds in your group will relish an opportunity to take to the treetops for a private Zipline Canopy Tour and High Elements Ropes Challenge Course experience.  Rafting in the Smokies invites your group to enjoy the fresh air, flora and fauna of the Smokies before it opens to the general public.  It’s a great way to start the day!
