We stayed in Bldg 8 condo 8202, owned by Ron and Paula.  The rooms were spacious and the view spectacular.  We would definitely stay there again.  The ride up the mountain is a little hairy but after the first trip not so bad.

The Summit condo 8202

Stayed in the condo named Above the Clouds. It was a really nice, clean condo. Plenty of room for the 5 of us. The road getting there was a bit scary but after a few times, we got used to it. The views were amazing. We saw a momma bear and her 3 cubs a few times. If we ever go back there, we would stay here again.

The Summit--yep, it is way up on the mountain.

I have stayed at the Summit 5 times, and each time I have had a positive experience there.  It helps to do your homework first.  There are no elevators, so choose a room that befits your ability to climb stairs.  Some rooms overlook Gatlinburg, and some rooms overlook the mountain chain.  Before you leave home, be sure your vehicle can climb a mountain.  Review a map and directions before you start up the hill.  Watch the curves for on-coming traffic.   But if you appreciate a great view, the drive will be worth it.

True to its name, it is on a Summit

This is a condo complex with amazing views of the mountains. Our unit was a bit outdated, but super clean with all the needed amenities. 
If your not used to driving straight up a mountain, the road to the complex is scary.

Treacherous drive to condo

I visit Tennessee at least once a year and this is one of the first places I check availability.  This fifth visit we rented a 3 bedroom for the first time; Building 4, wooded view.  The layout uses the space very well and the rooms are comfortable, but like all of the accommodations I have stayed in here they are somewhat compact and cozy.  The vaulted ceilings in the third bedroom really opened the space.  Two bedrooms on the first floor, one with a private bath the other bath is across the hall from the second bedroom.  The third bedroom is in the loft, up a spiral staircase.  It seems every unit here has a balcony, full kitchen and wood burning fireplace (free firewood on site).  The drive up and down the mountain is intimidating, but has improved quite a bit since my first visit to The Summit in 2005 - and you get a little better each trip.  Another thing to note is, depending on the season and reason for your visit, The Summit is so accommodating you might not mind limiting your trips into town - especially if your unit has a Mountain View.

Fifth Visit to The Summit

For our weekend getaway we decided to try Summit Condos and we got 6208. We got to the facility and made our way into our room. First thing we noticed was the condo was tiny. The photos made the place look much bigger. There was even a closet to hang clothes. That being said, the room was very nice, with a fireplace and a gorgeous view of the mountains. The room had some cosmetic issues, but nothing terrible. The bed was wonderful and the kitchen area was quite nice, despite the size. All in all not a bad stay,but be warned, the drive there is a twisty, winding road so be careful.

A beautiful view from a tiny condo 

Master bed broken down. Very broken down. The 2 twin beds the springs could majorly be felt. 
None of us got much sleep. 
Hot water only get one really good shower. Second person had to hurry or got a cold shower at the end. 
Bed sheets and pillow cases was dingy and had small stains. 
Housekeeping left stuff from in dishwasher. Meaning I thought there wasn't much dishes to use at first.

Do not recommend

Our experience at this facility was terrible. Each unit is individually owned and operated. It’s my understanding that some units are maintained and kept clean and some are not. Since you have no idea which you are getting…don’t risk it! 

After driving 6hrs with a 13mth old, we were forced to find other lodging due to the unsanitary conditions of the room. Living and dead bugs were seen in plan sight. Roaches seen. There was food splattered on the walls. The floors were dirty and the carpets covered in stains. I didn’t dare pull the sheets back and look at the bed. We called the office to complain and request a refund and was told nothing could be done. Imagine spending over $1k for a family vacation, only to find the room to be so filthy, you can’t stay, then being out that money! They refused to refund our money or help in anyway. After finding acceptable lodging, we called our booking agency, who refunded are money and stated they were dropping the location due to multiple complaints. 

Don’t stay there!!

Terrible. Would never stay there.

This facility is terrible! 1 star is too kind compared to what we experienced. My family walked into the unit and stayed 15mins. We immediately left and found another hotel to stay in. The unit is filthy. Dead and living bugs everywhere. Stains and what looked like food on the walls and ceiling. The carpet was gross and stained. The building that had the in door pool, gym, arcade, and only WI-FI access plus laundry (I’m assuming) was closed and inaccessible. There is no one working on site at all. Each unit is owned privately and unit code to unlock the door is sent via text. The property owner repeatedly stated each unit is individually owned and all problems should be addressed directly with the owner. Unfortunately getting in touch with the owner, is next to impossible. The drive up to the facility is sketchy at best and individuals should be comfortable driving on curvy mountain roads, with blind turns, and very steep inclines. Photos below are from just being in the room for 15mins. I’m sure if we really looked around, it would have only gotten worse. Do not stay here! 

DONT NOT STAY HERE!

We rented a unit for our son's family and were DEEPLY disappointed in the property when we visited. The carpet was FILTHY, the stainless-steel stove was rusted. Doors couldn't be opened all the way because they hit the dishwasher. The unit need a GOOD cleaning and definitely needs modernized.  It looks like the 80's threw-up.
