STAY ON PURPOSE.
TIME FOR A CHANGE
Vacations are meant to provide an escape from daily routines, responsibilities, and the monotony of life. They're meant to create lasting memories in serene surroundings. But often, vacations mean long hours planning, frustration caused by navigating in an unknown place, and missed opportunities at gems only the locals know about.
At Long View, we're here to change that. Located in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, we provide a Nordic-themed retreat with stunning Appalachian views, and we raise the bar by elevating the standard mountain rental with full concierge services. Unlike typical destinations, we personalize your stay and assist in planning your unique Smoky Mountain experience, ensuring a true full-service escape.
Move beyond home-sharing into our boutique resort, where we're dedicated to making your vacation exactly how you imagine it to be. It’s time for a change. Leave the do-it-yourself vacation behind and come escape with us at Long View Resort.
EXPERIENCE TRUE CONCIERGE
Everyone's idea of perfect is different. Some like just a little direction. Others want all the things. Our Long View staff is ready to give you exactly what you're looking for with customized full service to make everything during your stay your kind of perfect.
THE LODGE
Sleek Scandinavian styling and black exteriors pair with natural interior earth tones to give the Lodge at Long View a guest impact beyond local comparison. Designed to deliver a carefully curated common space, the Lodge offers its guests a place to relax, dream, connect, play and escape. Begin your day with a full breakfast made from locally sourced fare, connect with our staff to plan the perfect off-campus adventure through our many area partners, sit and take in the astounding views offered off the front observation deck, let our personal chef prepare a delicious meal and end your night on our outdoor sofas sharing memories around the fire tables. And when you’re ready, retire to one of our eight luxury Lodge suites, all lovingly named after actual Appalachian Trail shelters found throughout the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
Located in the National Rainforest just like our yurt village Sky Ridge Yurts, we do experience some rain, but don’t let that discourage you from booking your stay. As a reminder, the sun always returns, and the lush, vibrant surroundings make every moment special. Embrace the natural beauty and enjoy your time with us—rain or shine! View our Policy.
WHY CONCIERGE?
"I traveled in the Scandinavian countries one summer, and I was pleasantly surprised to find each lodge host I encountered greeting me warmly, always starting off with what felt like casual conversation about what I wanted to see and do in an area I knew literally nothing about. It put me at ease of course, but it wasn't long before I figured out that whatever I mentioned, they made happen. I realized right away that we've been doing it wrong in our country. Private homes are wonderful, but nothing compares to meeting a new friend who knows the area and can make everything about your vacation magical. So, I came home and started building a place where what I felt in Sweden can be experienced here in the North Carolina Mountains."
