About this property

Lazy Bear Chalet: 6BR,Theater,Spa,Games,Sleeps 18+

Memories to last a lifetime are made here in the Great Smoky Mountains, in this luxury cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows. Snuggle in front of a cozy fire or in the private hot tub. Relax on one of 3 decks, play pool, or watch a movie on a massive 75" Theater TV

We're only a mile from the Pigeon Forge Parkway, on good roads, set back from the road in the trees for privacy and privately-owned for that personal touch.

The Lazy Bear Chalet is nestled in the foothills of the Smokies, about a mile from the Pigeon Forge parkway. The rustic mountain atmosphere is right in front of you, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and beamed cathedral ceilings. The natural wood finishes 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.

RECENT RENOVATIONS:
- All new flooring - No More Carpet!!!
- All TV's replaced with flat screen TVs with Roku/Netflix/Hulu
- Old theater chairs replaced with beautiful sectional sleeper
- Huge 75" Theater TV
- New kitchen appliances

Step out onto one of the three decks, one of which is completely screened against bugs. Spend your evenings grilling steaks on the gas BBQ, enjoying a favorite cocktail, or soaking in the private hot tub after a long day of exploring Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Keep an eye out for local wildlife! Bears, Raccoons and other critters are common in the area, but won't bother you unless you leave food or trash out.

When you're ready to head inside, gather in front of the stone fireplace to keep nice and toasty warm.

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.

The Game Room boasts a pool table, new sectional sleeper sofa, a game/card table, a massive 75" flat-screen TV, and a booming surround sound audio system. There is also a wet bar with beer refrigerator, and French doors that open onto the deck.

The open-plan Living Room also has a Blu-ray player as well as Netflix & Hulu, including local network channels and sports networks.

In the kitchen, you'll find all the cooking necessities you expect at home plus a toaster, crock-pot, blender, coffee machine, and Keurig gourmet coffee maker. Complementary coffee, tea, cream & sugar, and a spice rack are included. Whip up a feast for your loved ones and gather around the wooden dining table to enjoy your meal. For your convenience, a washer and dryer, iron and ironing board, and a hairdryer are all provided, along with all necessary bed linens, towels, handsoap, dishsoap, laundry & dishwasher detergents, and trashbags.

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!

We are close to everything!
1 mile to Pigeon Forge
2 miles to Dollywood

- Access: The front door has an electronic lock, you will be provided the code a few days before check-in.

- Vrbo refunds incur a small credit card processing fee which will be passed on to the guest.
- No parties allowed

Bedroom 2 is an open-air loft that overlooks the living room, and includes a twin bed plus a twin trundle bed underneath. It also has an adjacent bathroom, and is a perfect arrangement for a couple who wants their kids nearby -- or teenagers that prefer to sleep alone in a twin bed. (Please note that this room is semi-private with no door, and there are stairs nearby so please take care if you bring toddlers).
Bedroom 3 is on the ground level, with a Queen bed and an adjacent bathroom.
Bedroom 4 is on the ground level, with a Queen bed, a private bathroom, and a door to the back deck.
Bedroom 5 is on the lower level and has a Queen bed and an adjacent bathroom.

There is also a sofa bed in the Game Room, and another in the Living Room.

There are no steps anywhere on this floor.

We had three families together for a baseball tournament. The Lazy bear was amazing. Kids played in the basement and the adults had the deck. Beautiful property and close to everything. House has everything you need. Our host was awesome too helping with the hot tub and tv after the kids got a hold of it. We will be back!

First ever VRBO and it was WONDERFUL

From the moment my family found the listing to when I booked the unit it was easier than I had expected. Communication with the host was efficient and helpful. The whole process made our stay so rewarding and relaxing. I will remember this listing if and when we get a chance to return to the Smokey Mountains!

Great for family vacation

Cabin was just as pictures/described in listing. Communication with owner and check in/out was simple. Kitchen and all supplies well stocked. Just personal preference we would probably select a cabin with better Mountain View’s next time , but again this was as advertised and very nice if you don’t mind a woodsy view. And also a plus was the convenience in location to everything. Would definitely recommend this cabin for large family trip

This property is amazing! It was the cleanest rental I've stayed in. It had everything you could possibly need for a fun relaxing stay. The hot tub was wonderful and big enough for quite a few people. There is enough room for your entire party to spread out. We had an amazing time. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!

Perfect Family Getaway

We loved Lazy Bear Chalet. It was perfect for our family of 8. The location is tucked among the trees but still close to everything. The kitchen was equipped with everything we needed for our stay. Beds were comfortable. The back deck off the living/dining area is beautiful with some medium range views. Tim was quick to respond to any inquiries I had. I highly recommend this property and we will re-book if our future travel plans bring us back to Pigeon Forge.

Love the lazy Bear!

This cabin was clean and spacious. Easy to communicate with managment during the stay and quick to respond to questions after arrival. Location was nice but hard to find, number at the driveway is different from the address. Driveway is a little difficult due to the incline. Will definitely recommend or stay again.

Mountain weekend

Check-in was easy. The house was clean and well stocked. Plenty of room for the 12 in our group. Location was great. The house is close to shopping and attractions but feels like you're out in the middle of nowhere when you're sitting on the deck. The pool table and hot tub provide plenty of entertainment if you're not playing games or watching TV. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would definitely recommend.

Great family reunion location

We had a group with multiple families for a reunion while attending the UT and Alabama game. The cabin was very spacious with plenty of room to spread out when time to sleep. The teens and young adults loved the game room. The open kitchen and living room was perfect for large family meals/gatherings. Many enjoyed the sitting on the back screened in porch and getting in the hot tub. (We turned up the hot tub water temp when we arrived and turned it down when we left). We were impressed at how clean the cabin was and we stayed comfortable with the air conditioning etc. We weren’t too far off the main strip but still we’re surrounded by trees for the Fall Gatlinburg experience we desired. The host was friendly and responsive to my pre-trip questions and will definitely return!

Turkey Cabin

Family Thanksgiving reunion with couples from California, Texas, Florida, North Carolina, Tennessee and Indiana. Accommodations were great, rental process easy and smooth-only issue was that they were not finished cleaning at our 4 pm check in time. Not enough space for trash for large # if guests for 5 days/nights. Some furnishings need to be upgraded-theater seats broken and need to be removed. Suggest replacing with large sectional sofa-we used that area for movies and a karaoke night. Upgrade pool table or maybe table tennis which could be folded up to make more space. Carpet in that room needs to be replaced.
