Bigger Bear Views Lodge
Location: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Area: Forrest Springs Community
Description
This 5,300-square-foot NEW CONSTRUCTION cabin in Gatlinburg, Tennessee, boasts views, space, and awesome amenities for groups! It has 7 bedrooms, 7.5 bathrooms, and space for up to 30 guests, with king-size beds and queen-over-queen bunk beds to accommodate both adults and kids! There are also 2 sleeper sofas for some extra space. You can start the vacation with easy arrivals in the flat, paved driveway before heading inside to cozy but spacious interiors.
Spend cool mountain evenings by the electric (no heat) fireplace (one of 8 in the cabin) or fire up the 2 park-style charcoal grills for cookouts on nice days. The cabin has all the conveniences you need for a great stay, including a 65-inch smart TV in the living room — plus a smart TV and a fireplace in each bedroom! The washer/dryer is great for longer stays with a group, and the high-speed wireless internet will be much appreciated by everyone.
You’ll stay entertained at Bigger Bear Views Lodge, too, with an air hockey table, pool table, Multicade, Supercars game, and a 65-inch smart TV in the rec room! And don’t forget the theater room, where every night is movie night — with a 75-inch smart theater TV with 300-watt surround sound and Blu-ray player! Before you head to bed, be sure to climb into the soothing hot tub for a relaxing soak while watching a show on the outdoor TV on the deck. In the morning, grab a coffee and enjoy a breeze on the deck together from the 15 rocking chairs!
While downtown Gatlinburg is less than 2 miles from the cabin - keep you close to the area attractions, restaurants, and shops - you won't have to leave the cabin to enjoy a favorite Smokies sight: wildlife! Many guests have reported seeing bear, wild turkey, and deer from the cabin!
Looking for even more space for your large group? Bigger Bear Views Lodge sits next door to its "little brother" cabin, Big Bear Views Lodge, a 5-bedroom, 5-bathroom cabin for 22 guests! It's another gorgeous new cabin packed with amenities!
Living Room
Walk towards the wall of mountain views and enter the charming living room at Bigger Bear Views Lodge. With a 2-toned ceiling, hardwood floors, stacked stone fireplace, and popping red sofas, you’ll feel right at home and in style here. Flip on the 65-inch big screen smart TV for entertainment with snacks on the coffee table or turn on the electric fireplace to set the mountain mood for a good book or cocoa with family.
Kitchen
Say hello to double everything in the fully equipped kitchen! Twice the counter space, stainless steel appliances, cookware, dinnerware, and more await lunch spreads, homemade meals, and midnight munchies. Utilize the open concept to keep convos flowing, the 2 long islands — one with a double sink and the other with bar seating for 5 — for meal prep and serving, and the dishwasher to take care of the messes!
Dining Area
Just off the kitchen rests the dining area with 3 large tables with wood detail and matching chairs and benches. Add the kitchen’s bar seating and living area nearby, and everyone will have a place to dine together every day. And when mealtimes are over, clear the tables for board and card games from home, crafts with the kiddos, and think space for your next blog entry.
Rec Rooms
Ready to play at the cabin? Head the revving rec rooms — one featuring a SuperCars racing game, pool table, and a pub table for 2, and the other boasting a flatscreen Multicade, air hockey table, plus another 65-inch big screen smart TV with sofa seating! Turn up the tunes and let the game tournament of champions begin…winner chooses the night’s film in the theater room!
Theater Room
Settle in for movie nights on the 75-inch smart theater TV with Blu-ray player and 300-watt booming surround sound! Pop bowls of buttery delight in the kitchen, then head to the private home theater where action scenes, heartfelt moments, jump scares, and fantastical worlds come to life! And with theater-style seating (drink holders included), you’ll feel like you’re at the movies.
Bedrooms
When it’s time for bed or you just need a little space and privacy, spread out across 7 bedrooms — each with a smart TV and a cozy electric fireplace. Some bedrooms even offer direct deck access and stunning mountain views! And you’ll find a garden tub in one of the bathrooms, perfect for soaking after a long hike through the national park. There are 5 king-size beds, 4 queen bunks, and 2 sleeper sofas so everyone will have a comfy place to relax and sleep.
Outdoor Spaces
The great outdoors at Bigger Bear Views Lodge is inviting and soothing. Sway away your worries and cares in the 15 rocking chairs, unwind in the steamy hot tub with entertainment on the smart TV, and cook out on the 2 park-style charcoal grills! Best of all, gaze upon rolling Smoky Mountain views at every glance. And when you’re ready to play in town, head down 10 steps to the big, flat, newly paved driveway and travel the convenient, flat, paved roads into Gatlinburg. There is overflow parking in front of the cabin at the dead-end cul-de-sac, and it can accommodate bus parking there, just about 100 yards from the parking lot.
Other Amenities
Tucked away in the Forrest Springs Community, Bigger Bear Views Lodge offers free high-speed Wi-Fi and a washer and dryer set for your convenience. Post trip photos and videos with ease and keep towels and clothes fresh throughout your stay.
Local Fun
Just 2 miles to Gatlinburg attractions, fine dining, and unique boutiques, Bigger Bear Views Lodge keeps guests close to city fun without losing the cabin experience in the Great Smoky Mountains.

We could see our cabin from atop of anakeesta."

"The Bigger Bear View cabin we rented as a group was GREAT!! Lots of space 21 people. Nice big kitchen with plenty of seating. Bedrooms are big and nice. The drive up and down the mountain might be scary for some people but the view is worth it! Overall, the whole group enjoyed being able to spread out for the weekend while we were in Gatlinburg for a volleyball tournament."

"This cabin had such a wonderful view and so many thing to entertain our group we had grandparents all the way down to a 2 yr old and everyone enjoyed it. We would definitely visit again it fit all 26 of us comfortably. It was located in a great spot so close to things to do and still had that cabin vacation feel being high up. If your looking for a large cabin with enough space for everyone this is it. The kitchen had so much room to cook and eat in. We all had plenty of space for our kitchen items in the cabinets and fridge. The hot tub was so much fun great way to be outside and relax."
-
"This house is on top of a mountain on the East Side of town, about a 5-10 minute drive downtown. The company was easy to work with and the cabin was ready on time, early even. This cabin had lots of room, great kitchen appliances, well stocked. The game rooms are separated on the top and bottom floor but that was nice that there was not just one room of craziness and allowed people to hangout in small or big groups. Our teens from our church enjoyed it. We hope to use this place again!"
-
"The property was exactly as described, super spacious and clean, plenty of room for everyone to spread out, and lots of fun to be had at the house. It was the perfect location for access to the National Park, as well as the attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Will definitely book again in the future!"
-
"The cabin is very spacious and there were many things to do. The theater room was great. The games provided hours of fun and laughter.

Kitchen was fully stocked with ever gadget needed to make a Thanksgiving dinner. Had a few mechanical items that needed attention. But the staff was extremely responsive in getting them fixed and the maintenance guy Brian was great!! Would definitely recommend this cabin and will book this cabin again!!"

"Our extended family stayed here for weekend to celebrate the holidays. Everything was there that we needed to have fun cooking a wonderful dinner together. It was clean and well kept. A few small issues but very minimal. A terrific view and a wonderful place for nature to see a bear or two. Fun activities kept everyone busy. We plan on making it an annual trip if they decorate for holidays."
