About this property

Thunder Bear Hideaway

Thunder Bear Hideaway is a beautiful 2 bedroom, 2.5 bath Pigeon Forge cabin rental conveniently located near downtown attractions, shopping, and dining, that comfortably accommodates 6 guests in total comfort.

Living Room

Step inside and you can’t miss the living room’s beautiful centerpiece–a river stone fireplace, set in a wall full of windows. Take in the leafy view framed by four big windows that rise all the way up to the cathedral ceiling. Light pours in on the honey-gold wood that graces the walls and floors.

Turn on the flat-screen TV. What will you binge as you relax on the leather sofa or curl up in the extra-wide armchair? Both are delightfully adorned with a pattern of strolling bears. Need to check your email, or just want to play cards with the kids? Hop onto a high stool at the living room table made from an old-fashioned wooden barrel.

Kitchen and Dining Area

The fully equipped kitchen is just steps from the living room, so snacks and drinks are always close at hand during movie marathons. With ample counter space and a double sink for quicker clean-ups, this kitchen is ready to help you tackle your heartiest lasagna recipe, or just whip up a picnic to take on a hike. The kitchen includes all the cookware, dishes, and utensils you need.

The eat-in kitchen gives you lots of elbow room for everyone to enjoy meals. Dine at the wooden farmhouse table, with classic Windsor chairs for four.

Bedrooms

The main bedroom is country chic, from its sweet, bear-bedecked quilt and log bed to its warm wooden walls. Lie back on the king bed to watch the flat-screen TV, then settle in for a great night’s rest. In the morning, the convenient en suite bathroom means you can get ready in a snap and head out for your day in Pigeon Forge.

Thunder Bear Hideaway has a secret: The loft is so roomy it’s home to a bonus sleeping area with a queen-size log bed. A second bathroom means no waiting.

Game Room

The downstairs game room is your headquarters for hours of fun. Rack up the balls, grab a cue and laugh as you play pool. Hold a friendly tournament and let the winners pick dessert tonight! The game room has its own flat-screen TV plus a cafe table and chairs, making it an ideal space for kids or teens to hang out for pool, TV time, and board games. The game room also has direct access to one of the cabin’s two decks.

Outdoor Spaces

Out front, Thunder Bear Hideaway welcomes you to its roofed porch. Out back, two covered decks are your outdoor living rooms, where you can sip coffee or moonshine, read or catch some Zs in the fresh mountain air. A bubbling hot tub is all yours, 24/7. What could be more refreshing than slipping into the hot tub and soaking your tired muscles after a day in the Smokies?

Other Amenities

No need to stuff your suitcases for this vacation! The full-sized washer and dryer give you the option to pack lightly and toss in a load of laundry whenever you want.

Use the cabin’s complimentary Wi-Fi for booking tickets to shows or ordering takeout online.

The cabin includes two parking spaces right outside the front door, so your vehicles are always close at hand.

New Year’s trip

Great Cabin for family getaway! Driveway intense, after the first day we parked at bottom of the property and walked up to door.

Thunder Bear

The only negative was the steep driveway and parking. Very challenging to park two cars on the driveway

Review

The checkin process was very easy. The cabin was much smaller than the pictures made it look. The driveway was straight uphill and very difficult to navigate with two vehicles. The hot tub was in the deck that faced the road in plain view and my eight year old autistic son suffered a second degree burn when he fell and his hand touched the hit glass against the fireplace. I wasn't going to complain but I am not very happy with it at all.

Synchronous Firefly weekend

Nice cozy cabin. Nothing special, but nothing bad either. Rooms are somewhat small. The bedrooms have a good-sized bed, but not much room beside the bed. 2-1/2 bathrooms is nice, although the downstairs bathroom had a sporadic leak. The pool table is not really usable since there is only about 2 feet between it and the wall on two sides. Nice balconies with chairs and swing. Relatively quiet although very close to other cabins. Steep driveway, but not really an issue other than a little tight turning around to avoid backing all the way down. We enjoyed the cabin and there were no real problems or complaints, it just didn't "wow" us in any way. Just a standard cabin. Very close to town which was very nice.

Great Stay!

We stayed for 3 nights at the Thunder Bear Cabin. Our stay was very pleasant. The cabin is situated just far away enough from the center of Pigeon Forge that you can’t hear everyday traffic (minus sirens from police and/or Fire/EMS) but close enough that it only took 5-10 minutes to get to The Island for family time. The cabin was spacious for 5 of us (2 adults, 2 teens and 1 8 year old) that we all had enough space for ourselves when needed. The hot tub was great to have after those long days on the town. The staff was helpful when needed (didn’t need them much at all). The only down fall we had was the driveway, it was very steep and if you have more than 1 vehicle it could be challenging for parking but we made do. Also the hot tub does face the road but we were up high enough nobody can really see while in the hot tub. If you have a small family and are going down, I would recommend this cabin!
