I’m a sucker for a unique overnight stay. I’ve slept overnight in a museum, aquarium, zoo, covered wagon, treehouses, and even in a submarine!

More Important Details Before Booking the Go Lodge

*You must be 21 or older to book this house. This house sleeps 20 guests maximum. There is a one-time cleaning fee for any length of stay.

For the best value, book directly vs. through AirBnb.

Check in for the Go Lodge is at 4 PM and check out is at 10 AM. 

*There are no early check-ins and there are no late check-outs.

The Driveway for the Go Lodge

4×4 drive is recommended for anywhere in The Great Smoky Mountains. The road to the driveway is paved and pretty steep. My friend’s minivan got up it fine and thankfully we had great weather during our stay.

There is parking for several vehicles in front of the mansion.

Prep for the Go Mansion Steps

There are quite a few stairs to the entrance of the mansion. I would recommend packing backpacks if possible to make for easier trips up the stairs. I brought a carry on and it wasn’t that hard to get up the stairs either.

There are a few less stairs in the rear of the house near the garage if entering by the Sports Stadium room but the driveway by the garage is way steeper than the front entrance driveway.

washer and dryer at the Go Lodge game themed mansion

Laundry Area for Go Lodge

If you need to do laundry during your stay, there is a front loading washer with a dryer stacked on top in the closet nearby.

We noticed there were a few laundry pods provided but if you plan on doing laundry for multiple families I would suggest bringing a few more.

Gatlinburg Trolley Stop

Gatlinburg Trolley Stops

There is a Gatlinburg Trolley Stop located across the street from the Go Lodge. (An easy walk down the road to the trolley stop and a more challenging walk back up the hill to the Go Lodge.)

The Gatlinburg Trolley is a FREE option for travelers who don’t want to deal with parking. This is a nice option for anyone with more margin in their schedule.

Gatlinburg Trolley Locator

You can watch the Gatlinburg Trolleys in real time by using the Gatlinburg Trolley locater to help you determine your best options. It’s also important to check the trolley routes because some run later than others.

If you like to do things on your own timeline you may want to still drive…just be prepared to pay for parking.

We almost rode the trolley after visiting Ripley’s Aquarium downtown but then decided we could walk just as fast to the area we wanted the trolley to take us to.
