About this property

Lazy Bear Lodge: 6BR, Theater,Spa,Pool,Game room!

Put Family First! Come and make some memories at Lazy Bear Lodge :-)

Memories to last a lifetime are made here in the Great Smoky Mountains, in this luxury mountain cabin. Snuggle in front of a cozy fire or in the private hot tub. Relax on one of four decks, play pool or foosball, take a swim in the community pool or watch a movie in your very own private theater!

We're only a mile from the Pigeon Forge Parkway via good roads, and privately-owned and managed for that personal touch.

Lazy Bear Lodge is nestled in the foothills of the Smokies, less than a mile from the Pigeon Forge parkway. The rustic mountain atmosphere extends inside, where 3,000 square feet of living space filled with natural wood finishes, wood floors, and a classy warm ambiance welcomes you to your home-away-from-home. Enjoy complementary gourmet Coffee, Tea, and Hot Chocolate in the well-equipped kitchen, with all the comforts of home.

Step through the French doors and onto one of the three decks. Spend your days grilling steaks, enjoying a favorite cocktail, or soaking in the private hot tub while keeping an eye out for local wildlife! Bears, Raccoons and other critters are common in the area.

When you're ready to head inside, gather in front of the stone fireplace to keep nice and toasty warm. This home has everything you need to stay entertained, including flat-screen TVs in every room, a real home theater with theater-style seating and a massive 75" Theater TV, a Pool Table, and a Foosball table. EVERY ROOM in the house has a Smart TV with access to all the popular streaming channels such as Netflix, Hulu, Prime, AppleTV, Disney+ and many more (Note: Some channels require your own login credentials). We provide a PAID subscription to YouTubeTV which includes national networks such as ABC, NBC, CBS, FOX, CNN as well as many live sports channels such as ESP1/2/3, Fox Sports, CBS Sports and much, much, more. The Living Room and Game Rooms also have DVD/Blu-ray players.

In the kitchen, you'll find stainless steel appliances and all the cooking necessities you expect at home. Whip up a feast for your loved ones and gather around the long wooden dining table to enjoy your meal. A washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, and a hairdryer are also included for your convenience, along with all necessary linens & towels, soaps & detergents -- other than shampoo which we consider a personal item.

And don't forget the pool and the basketball courts! The resort's community pool is only a short 500 ft walk from the cabin and is open 10am-10pm during the warm seasons. In the winter season, stay warm in the private hot tub! Nothing keeps the kids happy like a pool – when you can pry them away from the cabin's pool table, foosball table, and the massive home theater system, that is! Bring your X-Box or Playstation and connect it to the big TV and keep those kiddies entertained!

With Great Smoky Mountain National Park only a short 20-minute drive away, the adventures are endless! Pack your hiking boots and be sure to bring your camera, as some of the country's most remarkable mountain scenery is right at your fingertips. When the snow begins to fall, head over to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Area to spend the day cruising along the slopes, and then end your day at the Smoky Mountain Brewery for a taste of local craft beers before heading home.

Explore everything Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer. Whether it's a mountain hike, a causal walk, skiing through the Smoky Mountains, or a fun-filled visit to nearby Dollywood!

The cabin is privately owned and managed by me and my wife -- no Property Managers here! If you have a problem you call and I answer the phone personally, not some call center who-knows-where. If you need something, let us know what we can do to make your stay wonderful!

We are close to everything!

Lovely cabin, great place for our multiple family vacation. Well-appointed kitchen and supplies! Loved the location, cute neighborhood, close to the pool, very relaxing and yet, super close to the parkway and Pigeon Forge. Great location for our day trips to the Smokies, Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and more! Owners are wonderful, very quick response to our emails and texts both before and during our stay. We will cheerfully return!
Our family celebration!
Even the Smokies smile!

Perfect for our family reunion. Close to all attractions and the kitchen was well stocked. Though we didn’t really use it the game room with the very large TV and pool table would be great if kids came. Since our reunion included very senior adults they stayed on the main and upper floors except for me. I loved the bedroom downstairs as it was very quiet. The host was quick to respond when we noticed that there was only one dishwasher pod. We all gave the place 5 stars!

Loved this cabin! I would totally stay here again. The main-floor master worked great for my 80-yr old in-laws, the college kids loved the foosball and pool table. Super convenient to the main attractions at Pigeon Forge!

So Many Things to Do

Property was great for a large group! Owner was super responsive with any questions or concerns. No issues with the property, everything was exactly as advertised. Between the amenities in the cabin and the ease of access to Pigeon Forge, we honestly couldn't do all the things we wanted to do in the time we booked.

Excellent Location

This place was perfect for our family Christmas vacation. There were 12 in our family that included grandparents, children and grandchildren who ranged in age from 6 years to 18 years. We had plenty of room and the cabin is located near the Parkway so it is easy access to shopping and shows. It was clean and Tim made sure we had everything we needed. I recommend this cabin.

Family Cabin Trip

Everything about our stay was perfect! The cabin was clean, the beds were comfortable, and the cookware looked new. One of our favorite things was the long table which accommodated our early Thanksgiving meal and the large screen TV to watch the ballgames on. The kids and adults enjoyed the video game, too! The cabin is close to the main parkway and lots of restaurants and attractions as well. This is our second stay at this cabin and we will definitely book it again in the future. Penny

Wonderful!

We were not disappointed! Lazy Bear Lodge was the perfect size for our group of 15 and the cabin would definitely be our first choice on any future visit to the area. The cabin was very clean, had plenty of space to gather together, cook, sleep, play, lounge, or just relax and enjoy the view in one of the many rocking chairs on the wrap-around porch. The kitchen was very well stocked with cookware, utensils, and dishware, the bathrooms were clean and offered more than enough towels for our stay and, there was a generous supply of extra pillows and blankets if needed. Far enough away without being too far away. Our family truly enjoyed our stay at Lazy Bear Lodge and the memories that we made!

Fun in Pigeon Forge

There were 10 in our group and this cabin was just perfect. They have thought of just about every detail! At night we played a lot of board games at the dining table. A suggestion would be to make the lighting over that table brighter. The current lighting is a bit dim. Thank you for allowing us the privilege of enjoying this wonderful space.

Great Time in the Smokies!

My family and I had a wonderful time at this beautiful, well-appointed cabin. Great location - we felt "away from it all" but all the fun that Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg have to offer was only moments away. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. When I ran out of a few things, the owners were gracious and provided immediately. The game room/movie theater on the ground floor is wonderful for kids (including our adult "kids") and the layout of the cabin worked perfectly for our all adult group. I wish I was sitting on the back porch right now amongst the beautiful trees. We shopped, went white-water rafting, hiked, went to Bryson City to ride the train, and went to Dollywood - what a great time we had! Great wi-fi as well! I highly recommend this property for being central to all the fun that the Smokies have to offer - this may be our yearly destination!

Great location

Loved the cabin. I did not like not having a phone number to call with any issues. Property manager did respond through vrbo. It just took me a little bit to figure it out. We were a little disappointed because the fireplace did not work! And it was cold!!. Owner did send maintenance twice to fix fireplace, but no luck!! Never could adjust the thermostat in the main floor either. It said you had to have an access code?? It would get chilly at times. Owner could remotely control but I didn’t want to bother him every time we were cold! We did enjoy the cabin and it was decorated beautifully!! The location was great!! Would definitely stay here again! Had a great Christmas!! Thanks

The cabin was clean, family friendly, spacious and had plenty of room for everyone - we had 9 adults, 2 teenagers and 1 toddler. The boys and men loved playing pool downstairs. The ladies enjoyed the hot tub. We all enjoyed the wrap around deck that overlooked a marvelous tree line. A new gas grill on the deck was my husband's favorite place to be. I did a lot of cooking in the kitchen that was nicely equipped with a variety of pots and pans and dish wear. The host was very easy to communicate with through the VRBO app; and we are looking forward to hopefully staying there again.

We had a family reunion with a few staying in a couple of hotels while the rest of us at the cabin. The cabin was in the perfect location for our situation. It is close to everything we wanted to do. Cabin is beautiful and we enjoyed staying there . We had a few minor issues such as the coffee pot wasn't clean but everything else was clean. We used both futons but only found linen for one. The hot tub didn't get hot, just warm ( maybe we didn't do something right). The jetted tub didn't work but again, maybe our fault. We enjoyed the nice size table. We would rate this a 4.6.
