5 BDRM Cabin 15 miles from Dollywood! HUGE porch & games! 3 miles from Buc-ees!
When you’re planning a big family vacation to the Smoky Mountains, there is no better place to stay than this 5-bedroom cabin near Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Sleeping 12 people there’ll be enough room for everyone in your group! Fantastic amenities like a wraparound porch with Corn Hole, Checkers and rocking chairs that can offer a quiet place to sip your morning coffee while enjoying the view. There is a cozy hot tub area and a grill. Take a little hike down the hill in the front yard to a really unique firepit area. Downstairs the recently updated recreation room has video games (old school multicade), a ping pong table, a pool table and the perfect place to watch movies or football. There is even an easy hookup if you bring your own X Box or PlayStation. There is a PS5 in the picture for you to see, but you need to bring your own. You’ll never be bored when you stay in this cabin!
Whatever the occasion, your whole group will love what this cabin has to offer. Instacart, uber eats, and door dash deliver to this house to make planning meals for your family easier. Spend your days exploring the area and your evenings relaxing in your cabin. There is plenty of space for everyone!
NEW HANDICAPPED RAMP for the main level, and there is access on the bottom level as well but you have to be outside to go floor to floor if you can't use stairs.
Free 1 gig WiFi, 2 televisions in the game room with a connection for your video games available, large TV upstairs in the living area, and a large TV in each bedroom. Cable is provided to each TV.
Layout: MAIN LEVEL: Enter the cabin via the 1,600 square foot covered porch. The porch is filled with comfortable rocking chairs, a gas grill and a relaxing hot tub for your enjoyment. As you enter, you will notice an open floor plan with the kitchen, dining room and living room all combined to make the perfect area for gathering. There are 3 bedrooms on this level. The master bedroom has a King-sized bed and a huge full bathroom with a large shower with shampoo, conditioner and body wash dispenser filled for your use. The other 2 bedrooms have their own queen-sized bed. There is one other full bathroom on this level shared between the queen bedrooms and the rest of the house. Add in the pullout sleeper sofa on this level and you can sleep up to 8 guests. You have two hall closets and a full-size laundry room with full size washer and dryer and a laundry sink for you.
LOWER LEVEL: There is a great entertainment level downstairs with an exciting pool table, a fun Multicade Arcade Game (Loaded with all the 1980's arcade favorites like Ms. Pacman, Donkey Kong, Galaga and more!) and plenty of seating. There are two bedrooms downstairs. One features a King-sized bed and the other features 4 queen bunkbeds. The bunkbeds have linens in the room, but guests make these beds as they aren't always used, and I don't want the linens being out all the time. There is a full bathroom on this level as well with the amenity dispenser in the shower.
Easy access roads, paved driveway, and a dry covered carport for you to unload if the weather isn't perfect! Easily fit 6 or more cars in the driveway and carport.
Big Bear Lodge is a wonderful place, off the beaten path, but still close enough to the Fun in the Smokies.

The house was perfect for our multiple families to stay in. Plenty of stuff to keep kids entertained and the huge relaxing deck was perfect for the adults.
There cannot be a better owner on the planet. Absolutely the best place we have ever stayed and we travel frequently. So much room and space for all family members to visit. Comfortable for all ages, 14-80. Could not recommend a place more!
We stayed in the area for a wedding, the cabin was very roomy, lovely, the memorabilia on the walls was a great added touch. A very large deck for taking in the views. Communications with the host family and cleaning crew was above and beyond.
We loved the home, you can see the homeowners pride in it. Very peaceful and mobility ramp was great as I am recuperating from knee surgery. My family said this was a winner!
House was really nice and affordable for the size of our group. We had lots of fun playing pac man, ping pong and corn hole. Definitely would recommend for a large group!
We had so much fun at this VRBO. It was so inviting from the moment we stepped in. It was completely clean and had so many unexpected amenities (including a loaded coffee bar!). It also had games that we played obsessively and I practically lived on the porch. The host was extremely responsive to all questions. Could not recommend this more highly.
We had an amazing stay at this property! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how comfortable and well-equipped everything was. The beds were cozy, the living spaces were spacious and inviting, and the kitchen had everything we needed to cook meals together.The location was ideal—close enough to local attractions but tucked away enough to feel peaceful and private. Whether you're looking to unwind or stay active, this property delivers on both fronts. There were also plenty of activities for everyone.Highly recommend for families, groups of friends, or anyone looking for a memorable getaway!
We had a wonderful stay! Everything was perfect for our trip down for my sons graduation. The house was clean, comfortable beds, very quiet surroundings, all the amenities you need! Great coffee bar. We grilled and played corn hole on the huge back deck even while it was raining. We would definitely go back! The owner was very communicative and accommodating as well!
Our bridal party, my fiancé and I loved staying here! Was very spacious and the area was great. The cabin had a lot to offer and definitely kept us occupied. However, it could have been a little more clean when we arrived. Other than that, a great experience!
We had a FIRST Robotics Competition team at a 3 day competition in Knoxville (@ UT Basketball Arena)! The house layout was perfect (nice open kitchen/living room area...plenty of beds and bedrooms...and great game room with pool, ping pong , and retro arcade). The location was quiet and away from the city. Especially appreciated the washer and dryer plus 3 complimentary laundry pods as we didn't think about that. The owner was easy to communicate with and made accommodations and logistics work out for us. Truly a great stay and will specifically look for this house if/when we return each year for competition. Highly recommended!
We came to town for yhe Ozone gymnastic competition , and was looking for a place our kids , all from different schools and counties, could bond. From the moment we got their the kids were together playing for hours in the game room, enjoying the hot tub , running around outside. It brought them much closer as a team. Thank you so much.
Our stay was a wonderful experience. David was a great host; quick to reply to any questions we had. The cabin was super clean and everything was well labeled. The cabin has great amenities we were able to use - ping pong, games, corn hole, hot tub, etc.
We would HIGHLY recommend this cabin!
