Welcome to Big Bear Lodge, a timeless Smoky Mountain cabin retreat designed for comfort, connection, and classic mountain living. Wrapped in rich wood details from floor to ceiling, this inviting escape blends rustic charm with the amenities that make group getaways effortless and memorable.
Set in the heart of Pigeon Forge, the cabin places you just minutes from the Parkway, Dollywood, live entertainment, shopping, and dining---while still offering a peaceful, wooded atmosphere that feels worlds away from the crowds. It's the perfect balance of convenience and seclusion, with the Great Smoky Mountains National Park just a short drive away for hiking, scenic overlooks, and outdoor adventures.
Inside, the home unfolds across multiple gathering spaces made for shared moments. The living area centers around a cozy fireplace, ideal for winding down after a day of exploring. A dedicated reading nook offers a quiet corner to relax with a book or morning coffee, while the game room keeps everyone entertained with a pool table and arcade games.
Meals are easy and flexible with two dining spaces---one table seating six for casual meals and another formal dining table for eight, perfect for family dinners or holiday gatherings. The fully equipped kitchen flows seamlessly into the living areas, keeping conversation going from morning to night.
The sleeping layout is thoughtfully arranged for privacy and comfort. Two king bedrooms feature ensuite bathrooms, including one with a soaking tub for extra relaxation. Additional bedrooms provide cozy accommodations for the rest of the group, making the home ideal for families or friends traveling together.
Step outside onto the spacious deck to enjoy the fresh mountain air. Sink into the hot tub, fire up the BBQ grill, or gather around the outdoor dining table surrounded by classic wooden rocking chairs---an ideal setting for evenings under the trees.
With a washer and dryer, generous indoor and outdoor living space, and an unbeatable Pigeon Forge location, Big Bear Lodge offers a warm, welcoming home base for your next Smoky Mountain getaway.
