    Cabin w/ Hot Tub, resort gameroom, two pools - 1/2 mile to Pigeon Forge Parkway

    Cabin, 2 Bedrooms + Loft, 2.5+ Baths, remodeled kitchen (Sleeps up to six)

    Pets welcome with paid pet fee.

    Big Bear Lodge and Resort is minutes from the Parkway and built on a quiet peaceful bluff overlooking Pigeon Forge. Our 1,500 square foot duplex cabin is a great Smoky Mountain getaway not far from a variety of attractions including: the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Dollywood Theme Park, the Titanic exhibit and the Carl Ripkin Experince . Also choose activities from white water rafting to a Zipline adventure. Step out nearby to a large selection of restaurants, outlet shopping malls including “5 Oaks”; a huge mall with 100’s of stores only minutes from the cabin. We are also just a half mile from the Wear Farm City Park. At the park is baseball/softball fields, playground and walkway. Many softball tournaments are schedule for the park. You can walk from the cabin to the park if you desire. We are also minutes from the Island in Pigeon Forges. One of the newest attractions with great restaurants and activities for all ages.

    In January 2018 , we completed major improvements to Bears’ Retreat. This included: new leather sleeper sofa and side chair in the living room and as well as a leather love seat in the loft. In addition the kitchen was updated with granite counter tops and a new sink, faucet and disposal. New bedding was added to both beds and sleeper sofas and an elegant duvet was added in the master bedroom. We also switched cleaning companies and now work with one person who only cleans a few highly rated cabins in Pigeon Forge.

    In January of 2020, we continued to make major improvement to the cabin. This included: New deck and deck furniture off the master bedroom; new patio furniture and grill on the lower level patio; new stainless steel kitchen appliances and new roof.

    Inside the cabin, you’ll find three levels that are more like home than anyplace you’ve ever stayed: the main level, the second floor and the lower level walkout apartment or Studio Suite. On each level, we’ve added decorating touches throughout that you rarely find in any other vacation property. As an example, we’ve included classic fine art prints and local artist renditions of this beautiful location. We’ve also added lots of pillows, stuffed bears, and cozy throws. This cabin also features hardwood floors and leather furniture. Parking is available on both the main and lower levels of the cabin.

    On the main level, relax near the huge stone fireplace with its nearby new 50 inch flat screen TV housed in an armoire. For larger groups, the leather couch folds out into a queen size bed. In the full kitchen, you’ll find everything you need to prepare a delicious home cooked meal, or you may opt to grill something on the large lower-level Studio Suite deck. Either way, you’ll be able to recharge your energies and enjoy being in the uniquely beautiful area of East Tennessee.

    Just off the kitchen, you can enjoy a four person hot tub set in a large screened in porch. Enjoy the night air wafting through the screens while relaxing in the hot soothing water. A large half bathroom, along with a full size washer and dryer, is also located on this level.

    On the second level, at the top of the stairs you will find a loft sitting area just outside the private master bedroom suite. This vaulted space overlooks the main floor and includes a love seat. You’ll also find a large computer desk, books, reference materials, excellent lighting and a CD player.

    Pass through the loft and you’ll be amazed at the size of the master bedroom suite with full bathroom and balcony. Each day you can view the beautiful Smoky Mountains from this suite. This newly rebuilt balcony is perfect location for your morning coffee. The king size bed has multiple pillows, a coverlet and many throws should you need them. Relax with your own media choices by taking advantage of your own TV/DVD in this suite. Large chests of drawers are available for all your belongings.

    The lower level Studio Suite is a separate apartment that is ideal when a larger group of travelers chooses Bears Retreat. This living space is perfect for another couple or children and comes equipped with a kitchenette that includes a microwave, coffee maker, sink and mini refrigerator. A recently added Foosball table means fun for all! This level is accessed by a convenient stairway to the main living area and, if desired, a private outdoor entrance. This Studio Suite also opens to a large deck with new gas grill and patio seating for four. You and your family or friends will love the extra space and tasteful décor of this Studio Suite that includes pictures and paintings of Smoky Mountain areas such as Cades Cove.

    In this second living area, you’ll find another large stone gas fireplace. You can relax with a flat screen TV above the mantel. The burgundy leather couch opens into a queen size bed. Amenities include a full-size bathroom with shower and a soaking tub! The private bedroom in this suite includes a TV and CD player.

    Perfect getaway
    This was the perfect spot for a romantic getaway. My husband and I were celebrating our anniversary and we didn’t want to leave. This place was close to everything we could need and was clean and spacious. We had a minor hiccup with the hot tub and garbage disposal but our host responded veryyyy quickly and got it all sorted out. Everything was perfect and I can’t wait til we come again.

    Quiet but close to everything
    Booked this long weekend for my granddaughter's gymnastics tournament in Pigeon Forge and took my nieces and nephew for support. The reservation went smoothly, check-in was a breeze, and communication with the owner was fabulous. We had a small maintenance issue, that was more of a user malfunction (my fault) but the owner was quick to respond and stayed in communication until the issue was resolved. As a previous owner and user of VRBO back in the day, I understand the issues and appreciate the timeliness of the response. As for the unit, it had everything you needed for your stay, the kitchen was well stocked, as well as the bathrooms. The kids enjoyed their private downstairs unit, and my wife and I loved the hot tub and fireplace. You are close to everything, but if this is your first trip to Pigeon Forge, spend some time researching all there is to do upon arrival, because there is more than you think.

    Very nice cabin with well equipped kitchen, including conventional AND Kuerig coffee makers. Separate bedrooms and baths were nice. I liked be able to park next to front door. The wood cabin look and feel was wonderful. Furnishings all very nice. We loved it!
