About this property

Stunning Smoky Mountain views! Minutes from Leconte Center and Dollywood

Enjoy the gorgeous Smoky Mountain views from this corner unit's wraparound balcony. Truly Breathtaking! Peaceful! This is a two bed, two bath, unit with whirlpool tub and walk-in shower in the Master bedroom, and a 2nd bedroom also with King bed and a full bath right outside the bedroom door. Pull out sofa that sleeps two. Plenty of room in the fully stocked kitchen to prepare meals, and spacious dining room with six seats at the table. Luggage cart available inside the condo for the exclusive use of owner's guests.

Grab your favorite after-dinner beverage and head outside to the wraparound balcony with Great Smoky Mountain vistas that are known worldwide. The Smokies are known for their wildflowers, waterfalls, and black bears. But they are also known for the blue-colored smoky mist that hangs above mountain peaks which gives the mountains their name.

My family has vacationed in Pigeon Forge often over the years. This was absolutely the best Great Smoky Mountain vacation we have ever enjoyed. Big Bear Lodge 3005 had a great deal to do with our enjoyment of our vacation. It is the nicest condominium we have ever rented. There is plenty of cheerful natural light making its way into the condominium and the wrap around balcony is wonderful. We definitely will stay here again. Thank you to Brian McHugh for providing such a fantastic vacation rental!

Thank you so much for the really great review. I appreciate it so much! I love it when we are in Pigeon Forge. Such a nice respite away from the everyday. I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m thinking that maybe there were a few kitchen items that you would’ve liked to have seen at the condo that were lacking. I am always looking to make the place better as people give me feedback. Please send me a text if you are so inclined. Again, thank you so much. Hope to have you back again. - Brian

A beautiful condo with spectacular views. We love this location. Close enough to everything but far enough removed where its quiet and peaceful. The unit is just as described and extremely clean. There's access to the indoor pool/hot tub and gym. Both very nice and clean. It truly felt like our home away from home. Truly enjoyed our stay!

Sounds like you enjoyed the condo overall and I especially appreciate you mentioning the kitchen. We try to keep it well equipped. I'm sorry the mattress wasn't good for you. Brand new about a year and a half ago. But I understand Its really hard to find a mattress that's everyone's cup of tea. Thanks again for choosing our property. Brian and Betsy

We purchased our condo at Big Bear five years ago.

About the host

Hosted by Brian McHugh

Host profile image
We are Brian and Betsy McHugh, both masters level social workers in the state of Michigan. We own and run a residential facility licensed by the state of Michigan to provide mental health/behavioral stabilization services to 18 boys who are victims of abuse and neglect. We love what we do, thankful that we are in a position to provide healing and hope to children who really need it.

Why they chose this property

This is a really a perfect spot from which to take advantage of all the events and happenings in Pigeon Forge. For adults and kids alike, all the action is right here. Big Bear Lodge and Resort is smack dab in the middle of all the excitement. Amusement park rides, helicopter tours, dinner theaters and shows, golf courses and go-carts. It’s all there minutes away. Dollywood is just a 5 minute drive. So, you can choose to get involved in the goings on around town, or you can sit high above the fray and breathe in the peacefulness and beauty of the Smoky Mountains.

What makes this property unique

Our vacation rental has several unique qualities. It has a gorgeous panoramic view of the Smokies seen from our wraparound balcony. (One visitor called it a, million dollar view). There are two comfortable rockers on one side of the balcony, and a table and four chairs on the other for outdoor dining.

We have two bedrooms both furnished with King size beds! We provide a washer and dryer for your convenience with soap and fabric softeners included. A brand new Keurig Coffee Maker is on the kitchen counter with 8 k-cups of coffee to get you started.

All the carpets have been removed and replaced by luxury vinyl flooring with a hardwood look. The walk-in shower in the master bedroom is accompanied by a Jacuzzi whirlpool bath to relax and recharge. The windows are now all adorned with beautiful faux-wood blinds that add to the relaxed ambience.

We like cleanliness,! So we do a three day deep cleaning of the entire condo twice a year, Spring and Fall. Last cleaning was completed in Feb 2025. Next cleaning is scheduled for September 2025..

During the deep clean process our professional cleaning crew cleans absolutely anything and everything you can think of. They leave nothing untouched. Bedding, lampshades, and fan blades. Windows inside and out. Walls, baseboards and ceilings thoroughly wiped down. Every square inch of floors are swept and mopped. Stove and fridge are pulled out and everthing scrubbed down, including the inside of the oven.

All dishes and pots and pans are removed from the cabinets, inside of cabinets scrubbed, and dishes rewashed. Every surface and cabinet in both bathrooms are scrubbed and shined. All appliances are cleaned inside and out including; dishwasher, refridgerator, oven, washer and dryer.

You can have confidence that the condo you rent from us is well taken care of and very clean. Check some reviews!!
