The Big Easy by AvantStay | Hot Tub, Game Room, Spacious Deck | Premier Location

Welcome to The Big Easy – Your Smoky Mountain Escape!

Perched in the heart of Gatlinburg’s scenic landscape, The Big Easy invites you to unwind and reconnect in the lap of comfort and fun. This four-bedroom, four-bathroom gem is the perfect getaway for families, friends, or groups seeking a memorable mountain retreat. With easy access to Gatlinburg’s top attractions—think Dollywood, the charming downtown streets, and endless outdoor adventures—you’re in for an unforgettable stay.

Step into the spacious living area, where cozy seating, a crackling fireplace, and a flat-screen TV make for the ultimate relaxation spot. Share meals and laughter at the oversized dining table with seating for 10, or grab a quick snack at the kitchen counter with barstool seating. The fully equipped kitchen has everything you need to whip up hearty breakfasts or indulgent midnight treats.

Upstairs, a bonus bunk area—complete with a twin-over-twin bunk bed and a foosball table—offers a playful hideout for kids or a comfy spot for additional guests. Downstairs, the game room takes fun to the next level with a pool table, foosball, and the nostalgic charm of an arcade classic: Ms. Pac-Man. For those seeking a little downtime, the sleeper sofa is ready to accommodate.

But the true star? The private hot tub on one of the home’s multiple decks. Imagine soaking under the stars after a day of exploring the Smokies, the crisp mountain air enveloping you. With plenty of outdoor seating across the balconies, you’ll have front-row seats to nature’s show.

Convenient parking and a prime location make The Big Easy your gateway to everything Gatlinburg has to offer. From thrilling adventures to peaceful mornings on the deck, this mountain haven strikes the perfect balance between excitement and relaxation.

Pack your bags and prepare for a getaway as effortless as its name—welcome to The Big Easy!

The property was exactly as advertised. We had a large family gathering which the house accommodated perfectly. I liked the location, which was close enough to downtown gatlinburg while feeling secluded from the crowds. We had at least 4 bear airings on our property during our week long stay, adding an element of fun for the family. I would recommend this place to others.

My family and I had a great time staying at the Big Easy. Great location. Plenty of space in the house. The area was amazing. We loved seeing the daily black bear visits! (while being cautious not to disrupt them and we stayed inside). I highly recommend the property. No major issues or complaints.

We had 7 adults and 4 children (10, 8, 5, and 1). We had a great time just hanging out at the cabin. Sleeping arrangements were good and the children enjoyed the nice bunk beds. We appreciated the provided high chair. It is convenient to the swimming pool; you can walk but it is a good uphill on the return.

The Big Easy was a wonderful place for our family of 13. We had room to spend time together but also spread out when needed. The 3 decks were wonderful! The kids loved the games available. We were there seven days and saw bears six of the days. It was a wonderful experience.

We had a great time at The Big Easy. We had 12 people and everyone was able to sleep comfortably and complimented the comfiness of the beds. It was only a short drive to Gatlinburg where we were able to spend the day. Would definitely stay here again!

This cabin is adorable. It’s a great location-close to Gatlinburg national park for hiking. We had 4 couples. Everyone got their own bedroom with king bed and bathroom. The kitchen was well stocked; plenty of dishes, utensils and pots/pans. We saw 6 bears in the 3 days we were there. Had a hard time getting answers from the host but they finally responded.

We started off a little shakey since we were given instructions to a wrong home which was occupied with another family. It was a bit frustrating since we have driven all tge way from Fl with 4 kids under the age of 6 and an expectant mother. After a couple attempted calls to our host, he apologized profusely and gave us the correct property info which was 30 minutes away. He also gaves us a 350 refundforour inconvenience

We rented this cabin for a long weekend girls trip, it comfortably slept 8 of us with additional beds throughout (2 queen bunks in loft, additional day bed on 1st floor) The cabin was very well equipped and less that 15 minutes from the strip in Gatlinburg, the closest store was only minutes away. The setting was perfect as other cabins are around but there’s a lot of woods and foliage to give you privacy. I was concerned about the size from the front of the cabin, but when you walk in you are pleasantly surprised as the cabin is HUGE! Decks on all 3 floors with rocking chairs on each. We will definitely be renting this place again!

We brought our team to a tournament. It was a great place for teens to hangout and close to Rocky Top Sports World to go back and forth between games. The property was clean, well stocked with all the necessities and very comfortable. We would definitely stay there again!

We had 14 of us. 6 adults and 8 Kiddos. Plenty of space for all of us. The house was in a wonderful location and had everything you needed for your stay. We enjoyed seeing the bears the most. The beds were super comfortable and the bathrooms were very clean and even had shampoo conditioner and soap. The family enjoyed the hot tub and we were super Thankful for two sets of washers and dryers. They even provided laundry detergent. Everything was. Very thoughtful. We will stay here again.

The Big Easy met all our expectations! It was very clean and spacious with enough room for everyone! Loved that there was room for all of us to sit together for meals and that there was more than one living space to relax in after a long day of exploring. The location was perfect for getting to and from downtown. The icemaker did not work and we struggled accessing the cable but they were minor issues that didn’t impact our stay.

Minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, short car ride to Pigeon Forge. Cabin was cute and everything worked. Literal bear encounter on our first day! Any issues we had were quickly addressed. Highly recommend this place for any large groups (we had 14 total - 1 infant, 3 kids, 2 teenagers, 8 adults).

We had a wonderful experience at the Big Easy cabin. The place was very clean, spacious & homely. We also loved the location & the cleanliness. The kitchen had every utensil & appliances that we could think of. The linens were very clean. Loved everything about this cabin. We’ll definitely rent this place again if we ever decide to go back to Gatlinburg.

The Big Easy was ideal for our short family vacation! Each master has a king bed, cozy fireplace and bath! The upstairs loft area is bigger than it looks. It was percent for our teenagers. Not too strep of a drive to get up and down from cabin which we appreciate. And because it’s on the end of street we had plenty of parking. I had plenty to of Wilson’s and host was great to get back to me. Community pool is walking distance but we didn’t walk because we were luck enough to see a few bears on our trip. Would definitely recommend The Big Easy!!!
