4 Ways The Lodge at Five Oaks Stands Out for Families

Deep connection to the Smokies

The Five Oaks property was originally purchased by the Ogle family in 1925, and today The Lodge at Five Oaks welcomes guests to that same slice of Smoky Mountain heaven. The heritage is felt throughout the property, from design touches to a spirit of hospitality.

Close to great things to do

Dollywood Sign

You are minutes from top family attractions:

  • Dollywood is celebrating its 40th anniversary in 2025, with the expanded Dolly Parton Experience, a permanent Imagination Playhouse for kids, and a full slate of seasonal festivals families love.
  • SkyLand Ranch blends thrills and animal encounters on a 100-acre mountaintop, with the Wild Stallion Mountain Coaster, play areas, and stroller-friendly pathways.

What to Look for in Sevierville Family Hotels

Outdoor pool at LAFO

  • Proximity to fun things to do: having a great location near fun activities can make your vacation that much more fun.
  • Water fun: outdoor pool and splash pads help keep kids happy and having a blast.
  • Breakfast and basics: complimentary breakfast and housekeeping make mornings smoother.
    The right mix of water features, room layouts, and on-site activities turns your hotel into part of the vacation, not just a place to sleep.
