Incredible home with AMAZING views! Perfect size for our 14 family members. Hosts were extremely responsive and we all had the opportunity to see Mama bear and her two cubs.

My wife & I have been visiting the Pigeon Forge / Gatlinburg area for over 50 years. We have stayed in most every area & all sorts of rentals. We discovered the Bluff Mountain area several years ago & it's our favorite area now. Our stay at Manna Mountain was great! We had 6 adults and 4 grandchildren and had plenty of room for everyone. We could have easily handled 4 more people! The layout of this unit was throughly thought out. The very large deck was wonderful with plenty of room to play corn hole and enjoy beverages. The view from the deck was terrific. When the clouds cleared - you could actually see Mt. LeConte. The outdoor grill was easy to use and because of its design was very easy to clean up. The outdoor fireplace was very nice although we didn't have much cool weather to enjoy it! The kitchen was great and having two refrigerators was a bonus for keeping all our drinks and food cold. It is a short drive into Pigeon Forge for grocery supplies. There is one thing I wish you would fix. The Game Room in the modified garage has no air conditioning! The temperatures during our stay was in the 80s & 90s in the day time. The only time we could really use the game room was early mornings or late night. It was simply too hot in the day time. Our grandchildren (and the adults) tried to use it during the daytime but it was just too hot. There are two ceiling fans in the game room but they are basically useless. The game room is really well equipped but not usable most of the days we were there. I know the game room was an after thought / conversion after the main cooling & heating was installed - but please consider remedying this! We would like to stay here again. One large window AC type unit could solve this issue. Once again we really enjoyed this stay and highly recommend Manna Mountain & give it a 9.75 rating out of 10.

I'm always nervous when I rent a cabin because it's usually not as good as it looked on the website! This house exceeded expectations and then some!!!! Beautiful property, beautiful views! As my daughter said they provided everything you could think of and some we hadn't even thought of! There was 16 in our family group from 1 - 86 years of age and everyone had their own space and privacy! We are still talking about how perfect Mountain Manna was for our family! We did have a sweet little bear visit us not long after we arrived and the next morning which added to the excitement for the young and the old! No problems and no issues but I'm sure if there had been any they would have been handled in a timely manner! There is really not enough great adjectives to describe this place! It was perfect in every way and my family wanted me to book it again for next year!!! Thank you Mountain Manna for an unforgettable family vacation 🐻

Where to even begin?! This house was the ultimate retreat for our multigenerational family vacation, with something for everyone from ages 6-68. I was impressed by the photos and reviews when I booked, and hoped the views in person wouldn't disappoint. Any photo can't begin to do justice to the absolutely stunning scenery that greets you from almost every window! When they say panoramic views, they really mean it! The massive deck is great for gathering, sunbathing, playing games, doing puzzles, eating meals, enjoying the hot tub, prayer time, reading, and simply taking in the mountain views. The pool was great for our 4 high energy kids, and the adults loved seeing the mountains while we watched them swim. There was plenty of space for our family (5 adults, 4 kids) to spread out and be together or enjoy some alone time. All the wonderful areas of the home allow for fun or relaxation, whatever you choose. The games in the garage were added after we booked our stay, and we were excited to have additional activities available. We only left the house once to ride horses, because everything we needed was right at our fingertips. We enjoyed many morning and evening walks in the neighborhood and were blessed with the most amazing weather all week. One small negative is that the carriage house “bunk room” is completely separate and detached from the main home. We had planned to have our kids sleep there, but due to their young ages didn't feel comfortable having them alone all night. Thankfully we had plenty of space for everyone without those beds and enjoyed one night of a family sleepover there, but something to keep in mind if you have small children planning to sleep in the bunk room. It was also a nice spot for a parent or grandparent to take early riser kids in the morning while the rest of the household slept, as noise carries in this house and there isn't much (if any) sound barrier. The home is stocked with games, puzzles, and great books. The kitchen was a dream for me as someone who cooks almost all meals from scratch, and I was ridiculously excited about 2 dishwashers 😅 I couldn't get enough of the soaking tubs and the incredible views. We will cherish this vacation for years to come, and can't wait for our next trip to Manna Mountain Lodge!

This house besides being absolutely beautiful, is perfect for large groups. We had 16 people, 8 were kids from 8 months to 6 years. The rooms are superb. Whenever we rent really large houses there is usually a lack of equity in the rooms. So one couple or family may get the “good” room and all the other rooms are just okay. Every one of these rooms are equally nice, spacious, have beautiful views, have nice bathrooms, nice bedding etc. (the chalet is also super nice and has a kuerig, sink, frig), besides a nice den area, balcony, bathroom, and nice bunk beds). No one has to feel guilty for getting the good room, because they all are. Everything is so spread out that we weren't on top of each other. The den, kitchen and eating area is super nice, with plenty of room for everyone. The theatre room/play room…was conveniently located by the kitchen so you could easily check on the kids while visiting or cooking. The pool was a huge hit, the key pad took all worries out of our minds that a kid would sneak in and swim without an adult. Tons of towels, toys, a couch and tv, made it an additional hangout. The porch is incredible. The kids played on it for hours, it was like having a fenced in backyard with tons of room to run and play, and because it's not real wood, no splinters! It's hard to put in words the enjoyment we all had on the porch. Not to mention the view which is breathtaking. The hot tub was fabulous, it felt super clean and people would hot tub while someone else was grilling, or watching tv on the couch. The kitchen was amazing, 2 dishwashers and two big refrigerators were a life saver. The only thing we needed was a couple of bigger pots. There is one kind of big one, but when cooking dinner for that many it would have been super helpful. Next time I'll pack one. The laundry room is great, with extremely large capacity washer and dryer. Folding area, iron and ironing board. The driveway was a blast for the kids to scooter, we parked our 4 large cars in a way they could scooter around in a circle, they loved it and the adults could sit on a porch and watch. We aren't big drinkers but wanted to make some frozen drinks a couple of nights. There are no liquor stores around (Gatlinburg has 2)! You can get moonshine, beer and wine though. We were told on the last day that the moonshine distilleries sometimes make their own whiskey and vodka, besides moonshine so that would be an option. The customer service from Coastal Vibes was second to none. We emailed them multiple times and heard back very quickly. They were super helpful and kind. This was the perfect vacation spot! An incredible property that spares no expense.

This was the perfect place for our company’s first management retreat. The peaceful surroundings really allow everyone to relax. The amenities inside the house were great for everyone to engage with one another and build better relationships. 10/10 would recommend for a team building weekend!

Peggy on 7/9/2025

We have rented many homes and this one was the best. We had 6 adults and 6 children ranging in age from 18 to 9 and we never felt crowded, but had room to gather. Having our morning coffee on the deck or in the Eagle nest was the perfect way to start our day. I had to call the property manager and the minor issue was resolved quickly. I highly recommend this house.

Michele on 02/15/2024  

The house met all our expectations and more! The Views, sunrises & sunsets from all the windows inside and on the decks are amazing. Location was perfect....A few miles out from the neon lights and not far from the national park. We spent most days hiking through the park and enjoyed the beautiful weather for February. David was quick to respond, as we added two more nights to the trip. Highly recommend. Sad to leave 

Bobby on 01/18/2024

It's such a great property and it houses all of our family family which we like to be able to stay together. We not only rented this year but we also rented it last year if that tells you anything.

 If I could give more than 5 stars, I would!! This home is truly amazing. The layout is perfect for large families or couples who vacation together. I can't think of anything to suggest that would have made our stay more enjoyable. The pool and hot tub were both extremely clean and worked perfectly. The kitchen is very well stocked with dishes, silverware, cooking utensils and glassware. It has every appliance that is used on a daily basis. We enjoyed grilling and watching college football all day Saturday on the 80” television in the comfy media room. The location is convenient to Pigeon Forge and not more than a 15 min drive. And last, but not least….. THE VIEWS!! It was awesome to wake up to these amazing views. We cannot wait to return. The only reason I will ever book a different house will be the lack of availability at Manna Mountain Lodge. Thanks to Mountain Vibe Vacations and staff for a wonderful week in The Smokies!

What a wonderful adventure it was for my mother and her eight children. From the first moment we stepped foot into the beautiful house. We enjoyed every bit of it from the swimming pool to rocking outside on the porch, watching the sunrise, and the sun sets with the smoky mountain view. we grouped in the movie room to watch the greatest showman. The boys had their individual rooms in the house along with my mother. the girls snuggled up in the full size bunkbeds over the garage. They were wonderfully comfortable. The bunkbeds were remarkably individual and private. We enjoyed Dollywood as well as the Dolly Parton stampede, and also did a murder mystery dinner as well as saw a Conway Twitty impersonator. Lots and lots to do. We would definitely vacation here again.

 Our extended family of 14 had an amazing stay at Manna Mountain! The property is gorgeous and has every amenity you could ask for. The back porch view of the Smoky Mountains is breathtaking, and you could sit out there all day in the rocking chairs. The house provided plenty of space to spend time together but also space for privacy. The carriage house over the garage was a hit with the older kids - they felt pretty special staying in a space without the parents! All of the cousins (ranging in age from 5 to 14) loved playing in the TV/game room, indoor pool, and with the pool table! The indoor lookout tower at the front of the house was a fun reading nook for the kids hide away as well. The only thing we missed out on while visiting was seeing a bear (we were on the lookout daily!). It was the perfect vacation spot for spending time together and visiting Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and the Great Smoky Mountains! We can't wait to stay here again!

We absolutely loved our time at Manna Mountain Lodge.  Our family of 12 gathered here for several days in the Smoky Mountains, and everything about Manna Mountain exceeded our expectations.  The view is incredible!  That alone would be worth five stars.  But on top of that the place was clean, well stocked, and comfortable.  We loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom.  The decks, indoor pool, hot tub, pool table, game room & movie room ensured that everyone in our party was entertained, from age 2 to age 70.  The kitchen was well stocked with all the tools needed, and we cooked several meals while we were there.  Another bonus is the location.  We are close enough to all the activity in Pigeon Forge (20 minute drive), without feeling like we were in town.  It was so peaceful and quiet, and the perfect Smoky Mountain get away!

Richi S. - 05/2023

We stayed for 3 nights, the moment we entered the house is breathtaking.  We really enjoyed our stay.  Very close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.  Indoor pool  is amazing and cleanliness is above the expectation so neat and clean.  Every room has attached bathroom and very interesting view from windows.  So amazing highly recommended.

Brent - 04/21/2023

Home and views were beautiful. Very peaceful neighborhood. Love the open space feel of the home and patios. Would definitely stay here again

Richard - 04/19/2023

Absolutely stunning home. Views beyond imagination. The layout of the house provides for privacy with the 5 bedrooms each with beautiful bathrooms. The bunk house was perfect for our grandchildren. The house is very well equipped. The decor is beautiful. We plan to rent this fantastic property again in the future. You will absolutely not be disappointed!! 

Jordan - 04/18/2023

This house was amazing! A lot of gathering spaces throughout the house for large groups to hang out. The indoor pool was great entertainment for the kids. It was very clean and plenty of room to host our group of 12. So nice we didn't want to leave the house and go out!

Maria - 03/17/2023

Manna Mountain Lodge is a place like no other. From the mesmerizing mountain views and the peace and quiet to the amenities and luxuriousness of the home, Manna is heaven on earth! 

Michele - 03/01/2023

Manna Mountain Lodge is even more spectacular than the pictures! Our family had an amazing time! The view is spectacular, pool is awesome, kitchen is 5 star with top of the line cookware, living room has lots of room for hanging out as a family, back deck has great views of sunrise and sunset! I could go on and on! And it's located in the beautiful Summit neighborhood! Highly recommend and would love to go back! 

Cameron - 01/24/2023

No other words other than amazing. Fantastic property, beautiful views, and one awesome New Year's trip! 

Kimberly - 01/17/2023

We had a blast in the home, the views are stunning and the service was exceptional! 

Wesley - January 2023

This house is absolutely gorgeous! Could not ask for a more beautiful location. One of the nicest places we have ever stayed. We will definitely be back!

Dale - 11/29/2022

The location is close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and pretty high up with breathtaking views of the Smoky Mountains. The kitchen is huge and fabulous and has everything you will need, even an ice maker machine! It gives you the feeling of wanting to cook and just stay there and not go anywhere, lol. It's a beautiful, beautiful place! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back!

Zephyr - 11/03/2022

Manna Mountain Lodge is a great place to enjoy the Smoky Mountains. The lodge is beautiful, located in a quiet neighborhood and offers plenty of room to accommodate a large group. Three bedrooms with private bathrooms on the ground floor and two more bedrooms with private bathrooms on the second floor. One bedroom on the second floor has two bunks beds and there are 4 full size bunk beds in a bedroom over the garage that makes a great place if you have several teenagers with your group. We loved the open air concept for the living area. The large kitchen is well stocked with dishes and cooking utensils. The double refrigerator allows you plenty of space for drinks and food. The long table is a bonus for large family meal or playing games. The movie theater on the ground floor allowed us plenty of room to spread out and enjoy a movie or a game. The lodge has a selection of different games for inside and outside use. I enjoyed my morning coffee while sitting on the deck watch the sunrise. Our group enjoyed grilling steaks on the deck while enjoying the outstanding scenery and watching the sunset. After sightseeing, we made time to relax in the indoor pool and hot tub. I would return to the Manna Mountain Lodge in a heartbeat.
