The resort and its setting
MountainLoft sits on Mountain Loft Drive, a short drive above downtown Gatlinburg, with accommodation styled as rustic-meets-comfortable: timber-clad suites, standalone cabins and chalet-style units spread across a wooded valley. The property has two pools and a picnic area, and the overall feel is closer to a cabin retreat than a high-rise resort — a draw for owners whose guests want quiet evenings on a porch over city-centre nightlife. With a 4.4/5 rating from close to 2,500 Google reviews, it's a well-established name among Smoky Mountain timeshare properties, and it's affiliated for exchange through both RCI and Interval International, which matters if you or a future buyer ever want to trade the week for travel elsewhere.
The area and things to do
Gatlinburg is the classic gateway town to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and that's the main reason people book a week at MountainLoft in the first place. Expect easy access to hiking trails, mountain overlooks, and the park's wildlife and waterfalls, plus the town's own mix of shops, restaurants and attractions. Pigeon Forge, with Dollywood and its outlet shopping, is a short drive away, and the Great Smoky Mountains themselves offer year-round appeal — autumn colour, spring wildflowers, and cooler mountain air in summer when the lowlands are sweltering. For owners marketing a rental week, these are the selling points to lead with: proximity to the national park, the cabin-style setting, and the two pools for guests travelling with kids.
Selling or renting a week here
If you're ready to sell your MountainLoft week, listing it as a private resale on BidMyTimeshare.com keeps things simple: you set your own asking price, your listing goes live for interested buyers to browse, and anyone interested contacts you directly through the platform — no bidding wars, no middleman negotiating on your behalf. We charge a one-time listing fee to get your week in front of buyers, and that's it — 0% commission on the sale itself, so what you agree with a buyer is what you keep.
Before you list, it's worth gathering a few details buyers will ask for: your unit's week or points allocation, the current annual maintenance fee, and whether the week is fixed or floating. Because MountainLoft is managed under Bluegreen's resort structure, resale transfers typically go through Bluegreen's own transfer process rather than an independent owners' association — ask Bluegreen directly for the current transfer fee and confirm whether a right of first refusal applies to your contract, since terms can vary by deed and purchase date. Buyers should understand upfront that a resale purchase generally conveys the real estate interest and usage rights only — it does not carry over any developer loyalty perks, upgraded ownership tiers, or promotional benefits tied to the original purchase.
If you'd rather keep ownership and rent the week out instead, renters searching for Gatlinburg timeshare stays are typically looking for exactly what MountainLoft offers: a cabin or chalet feel, pool access, and a short hop to the national park. Be upfront in your listing about check-in dates, unit size, and whether the week is fixed, so renters know what they're booking.
Practical notes
Gatlinburg draws heavy visitor traffic in peak leaf season (October) and summer school holidays, so factor that into rental pricing and resale timing — weeks tied to those periods tend to generate more buyer interest. Outside peak weeks, expect a quieter shoulder season in late winter and early spring, which can suit buyers looking for a lower-traffic mountain getaway. Always confirm current annual fees and any transfer costs directly with Bluegreen before finalising a sale, since these figures change and we don't publish figures we can't verify.

Travel Tips
Pack layers even in summer, since mountain evenings around Gatlinburg cool down quickly after sunset. If you're visiting in October for the autumn colour, book well ahead — it's the busiest and most sought-after time of year in the Smokies. A car is genuinely useful here, as MountainLoft sits above town and many park trailheads and Pigeon Forge attractions are a short drive rather than a walk away.
