LeConte - LINK
IMO pretty neat that there is a borderline subalpine climate 3.5 hrs from Atlanta
I've put in reservation requests several times (they usually open up in October - I don't know if I missed this year), but never gotten in.
Anyone ever stayed there or have any scoop on scoring reservations outside of their rather arcane request set up?

I stayed there for two nights some years ago. Maybe try for midweek reservations - If I remember correctly that's what I did. Up Alum Cave, and down Rainbow Falls. Just spent the extra day at the lodge and hiking out to a few viewpoints on LeConte. They bring everything up there by Llama.

I stayed at the LeConte Lodge many years ago in May. Made reservation a year in advance- mid week reservations are a bit easier to obtain.
I actually stayed there a second time in the Spring without a reservation. I was prepared to stay in a bear shelter nearby for the night. However, knowing that the staff at the lodge rarely had fresh fruits and other special treats, I carried a nice selection of those in my backpack and arrived early enough to check for cancellations. Lucked up, they had one,and unloaded my fresh fruit and other hard to obtain treats on the staff in appreciation!
The food served at the lodge is very good. The views are great. It's an overall great fun experience.
