Heated Indoor Pool · Hot Tub · Ober Ski View

Summary:
Bringing the whole family to the Smokies for Christmas or New Year's? Come back from the holiday lights, swim in the private heated indoor pool, soak in the hot tub, then gather at the rooftop fire pit facing the lit Ober Mountain ski slopes. Five levels and built-in bunks sleep 22 under one roof, so nobody splits up for the holidays. Those levels mean stairs throughout, so it suits active groups best. Book your holiday dates now, or message us and we will map the beds to your group.

GOOD TO KNOW
Five levels mean stairs throughout, so this home suits active groups more than anyone needing low-mobility access. The home sits high above Gatlinburg on a steep, winding mountain road, so allow extra time on winter drives. Groceries are 20 to 30 minutes away, so stock up for the holiday meals on the way in. Fresh linens, towels and starter toiletries are provided; bring your own cooking oil and spices.

Guest Access:
Guests have full run of Builtmore 2 — all five levels, the indoor heated pool, hot tub, the game room, and the rooftop Summit deck are yours for the stay. A handful of owner/housekeeping closets are locked and off-limits; everything else is included.

Check-in is fully self-service: a keypad on the front door gives you a unique code valid for your whole reservation — no key pickup, no coordinating arrival times.

The Neighborhood:
Builtmore 2 sits above Gatlinburg with a front-row seat to the Ober Mountain ski slopes — close enough to reach everything, high enough to escape it at night:

Getting Around:
Builtmore 2 is located in a private mountain community in Gatlinburg, offering a peaceful setting with beautiful views while still being close to the area’s top attractions. From downtown Gatlinburg, you’ll follow winding mountain roads that lead up to the property. The roads are paved, though you should expect typical mountain terrain with curves and moderate inclines.
