Adopt the Smoky Mountain lifestyle and make the best memories in no time here at the Prickly Bear, which is located at Buckberry Creek Unit 1. Lofted and stylish, this spacious escape offers plenty of room for each lucky guest to spread out with ease or gather together. The living area will be ideal for kicking back after a full day of adventures, and the TV is more than ready to keep you up to date on your favorite shows and movies as you thaw out by the wood-burning fireplace. When it is time to curb appetites, step up to the full kitchen and take advantage of the modern appliances, cookware, and spacious countertops to whip up tasty meals and snacks with ease. Out on your private patio, a BBQ pit allows you to add your food favorites to the menu. For added convenience, this home has a washer/dryer, perfect for throwing in that hiking gear and refreshing for the next day's adventures.

When you feel like venturing away from home a bit, this area is filled with outdoor recreation and fantastic attractions.

Do not recommend.
We left a very important and valuable item in the rental unit, and we have had no help whatsoever from Vacasa helping us get the item back. They just do not seem to care. Would not stay here again.

Great stay in the mountains
The cabin was very clean and spacious. All rooms nicely decorated and kitchen stocked. Location was great. Parking great. WiFi was great, wife was able to remote work while there. Also the Ober shuttle pick up was less than a 5 minute walk, which was nice on a crowded day didn’t have to drive and pay to park. It was also a very short drive to the main Gatlinburg strip and all the shops, or ride the Ober aerial tram down. Will stay here again.

First Time Vacasa
This is my first time using Vacasa, and it was okay. The condo is as described. There is no maps or literature in the room. Did not know where the club houses were or how to access them. The parking spot dedicated to this unit is right at the door, but was to small for my full size pick up truck. The master bed was comfortable, the smaller bed was not. The heat and hot water works GREAT
