Pool + Sauna + game Room | Cherokee Lake + Knoxville | Amber Lodge

Amber Lodge is a private East Tennessee retreat with a pool, sauna, firepit & game room—30 min to Knoxville, easy Smokies day trips.

Amber Lodge spreads out across a private, tucked-away lot where the loudest sound is usually the breeze moving through the trees. There's room for everyone to find their own corner, and just as much space to come back together. The main house holds four bedrooms, and out back, a converted smokehouse adds a fifth — an unexpected little hideout with its own bed, a sofa, and a TV for the friend who likes to stay up late or the kid who wants their own clubhouse.

Inside, the main living room opens into two distinct sitting areas anchored by a stone fireplace, so the group can split between a movie and a quieter conversation without anyone feeling crowded. The kitchen is built for real cooking — generous counter space, full-size modern appliances, and a dining table that seats eight, with a breakfast nook nearby for morning coffee and the overflow crowd.

Downstairs, a second living room with its own TV and fireplace gives the group another place to land, and a compact kitchenette keeps snacks and refreshments close so no one has to trek upstairs mid-game. In-unit laundry and WiFi make longer stays simple. And the games are the heart of this place: the converted garage is now a proper rec room with an oversized lounge, a pool table, and a shuffleboard court that tends to start friendly and end competitive — a genuine hit with every age in the group.

When it's time to slow down, the private sauna and a deep jacuzzi soaking tub make easy work of tired legs. Outside, the courtyard is set up for cornhole, the pool — a favorite with past guests — is yours alone, and as the light fades, the firepit on the open lawn becomes the natural spot to gather for the night.

The setting is part of the draw. New Market sits in the rolling foothills of East Tennessee, about half an hour from downtown Knoxville and its walkable Market Square, riverfront paths, and college-town energy. Closer to home, Cherokee Lake and McBee Ferry Landing Park are quick drives for a day on the water, and Panther Creek State Park and Douglas Lake round out the options for hiking and boating. The gateway towns of Sevierville and Pigeon Forge — and the Great Smoky Mountains beyond them — make for a straightforward day trip when you want the full national-park experience, with more than 800 miles of trails, old-growth forest, and a good shot at spotting a black bear.

Come to cook, compete, soak, and slow down. Amber Lodge gives a group the rare mix of plenty of room and plenty to do.

If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a must. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. The ancient mountains invite you to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!

Spacious, unique property in a beautiful location about 30 minutes from Knoxville. With large bedrooms and in suite baths in most rooms, two large common areas, two kitchens, and a game room, it was ideal for our large group. Communication with Avant was quick and responsive. For example, when we found the only ping pong ball in the game room was damaged, a friendly local courier arrived quickly to deliver a new pack of balls. He even gave us great tips on nearby local restaurants. Would be a great place to stay when you can hang out on the property, grill and maybe use the pool and hot tub and sauna. The only problem was the property only allows 3 cars to park there even though the grounds have lots of room for more cars.

Our stay at this property was wonderful. Plenty of room for everybody. The smokehouse that was converted into a bedroom is adorable. Our adult children loved the garage game room. Will definitely stay again.

Liked: Location
Disliked: Listing accuracy
The home is older but beautiful. The mountain views and sunsets are stunning. First, the listing was misleading. It advertised at the top “private pool,” but we discovered that the pool house on the property (just steps away) is a separate rental with its own guests (11 during our stay), and all outdoor amenities pool/hot tubs are shared. When we arrived, there were already people and a vehicle at the property, which was confusing and uncomfortable. Inside, we immediately noticed multiple strong odors: a damp/old smell, a fishy odor in the kitchen, and a cigarette smell in one bedroom. There were also cigarette butts outside on the ground. Cleanliness was a major concern. Several sinks were dirty, there were dead bugs and dirt in corners, and one toilet seat was not clean with visible poop left. While a cleaner did come back, the job still felt incomplete. There were also numerous maintenance and safety issues:* Broken garage door with shattered glass and no access to the game room* Game room in very poor condition (dirty, broken equipment, debris including a knife on the floor)* Multiple kitchen outlets not working* Garbage disposal was not working* Shower in master bathroom with black buildup and poor water pressure* Unlocked doors upon arrival* Broken hot tub cover pole and non-functioning string lights*The pool also appeared poorly maintained. The property manager was responsive and a maintenance man fixed some of the issues. They also provided a small refund.
