About the host
Hosted by Jake/Megan
We are a family of five who love adventure and exploration in the great outdoors, we understand the value of creating unforgettable memories. At Bear Tales Lodge, our passion is not just providing accommodations, but facilitating experiences that ignite the spirit of adventure in our guests. Whether it's embarking on a scenic hike, kayaking down a river, or simply unwinding under a starlit sky, we're dedicated to helping every guest craft their own unique adventure while staying in our cabins. With us, it's more than just a place to stay—it's a gateway to endless possibilities and cherished moments that will be treasured for years to come. So come join our family at Bear Tales Lodge, and make some amazing family memories year after year.
Why they chose this property
We fell in love with the Smokies. We have spent several years in the area with family and have enjoyed camping, tubing, and fishing in the summer. We decided to invest in a property that would allow the space for our family to get together with multiple generations to enjoy the outdoors with quick access to the fun activities that Pigeon Forge has to offer (DollyWood/SplashCountry/The Island/etc). We truly love having access to the National Park through Wears Valley as well as Gatlinburg. We hope that you too fall in love with the area and our cabin and come back year after year to create more family memories just as we have.
What makes this property unique
Our cabin is beautifully decorated, updated, and spacious. It boasts three floors with a king bedroom on each floor along with a full bathroom for each floor. The basement offers a wonderful play room with a pool table, foosball table and TV area with full size washer and dryer. Being just minutes from the Cal Ripken Experience and the LeConte Center we are happy to host athletes and their families. The Alpine Mountain Village Resort offers wonderful amenities as well! Two seasonal swimming pools, covered pavilion, and even a beautiful quaint wedding chapel are just a few of the wonderful features. We are located in a neighborhood with surrounding cabins, but once inside it feels like you are in your own oasis. Two large decks offer beautiful sunsets with views of the surrounding woods and charming neighboring cabins.
