Perched atop a private ridge in Wears Valley, Pimalai Lodge offers one of the most extraordinary vacation experiences in the Smoky Mountains.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, milestone celebration, corporate retreat, church group getaway, or multi-generational vacation, Pimalai Lodge delivers a destination experience unlike any other in the Smokies.

Spectacular 360-Degree Mountain Views
Few properties can truly claim panoramic mountain views in every direction. Positioned atop a mountain ridge overlooking Wears Valley, Pimalai Lodge offers sweeping vistas of Bluff Mountain, Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the surrounding peaks and valleys.
Guests can enjoy sunrise views from one side of the property and stunning sunsets from the other, creating an ever-changing backdrop throughout the day.

A Destination Designed for Entertainment
Pimalai Lodge was built to bring people together.
The property's private 19-seat theater provides a true cinema experience with stadium seating, premium audio, and a large projection screen—perfect for movie nights, sporting events, and family gatherings.
The upper-level Fox & Hound Tavern recreates the atmosphere of a classic British pub, complete with a pool table, games, comfortable seating, and a signature red British telephone booth.
On the lower level, the Mardi Gras Bar offers a completely different experience. Inspired by New Orleans, this recreation space features a wet bar, poker table, gas fireplace, and lounge seating that create the feeling of a private club nestled in the mountains.

Additional entertainment amenities include air hockey, foosball, shuffleboard, darts, an arcade machine loaded with classic games, and multiple gathering areas spread throughout the home.

A Fantasy Dormitory Unlike Anything Else
One of the most memorable features of Pimalai Lodge is its custom fantasy-inspired dormitory. Designed to capture the imagination of younger guests while delighting adults, the room features four twin bunk beds, themed décor, immersive architectural details, and a private attached bathroom.
It quickly becomes a favorite gathering space and one of the most talked-about features of the property.

Exceptional Outdoor Living
The outdoor experience is just as impressive as the interior.
Guests enjoy more than 3,000 square feet of outdoor living space, including expansive wraparound decks, a two-story gazebo, an outdoor kitchen, outdoor fireplace, multiple seating and dining areas, and a seven-person hot tub overlooking the mountains.
Whether you're enjoying coffee at sunrise, gathering around the fire in the evening, or relaxing under the stars after a day exploring the Smokies, every outdoor space has been designed to maximize the breathtaking surroundings.
