Bigfoot Base Camp by Red Glider Getaways

The moment your group spots the two eight-foot Bigfoot silhouettes standing guard around the fire pit, backlit by string lights, surrounded by Adirondack chairs and a flickering flame, someone is going to say "this is the place." And they'll be right.

Bigfoot Base Camp is a brand-new, luxury Smoky Mountains cabin with a personality that no other cabin in the area can claim. We built it around a single idea: your group deserves a retreat that's as memorable as the trip itself.

9 miles to Dollywood!
10 Miles to Pigeon Forge

──── THE SPACE ────

Four bedrooms, four private baths, and enough room for groups of up to 10 to spread out and actually relax. Three king bedrooms and one queen, plus a sofa sleeper in the living room — everyone gets a real bed. The kitchen is fully equipped: refrigerator, dishwasher, stove, oven, microwave, coffee maker, blender, ice maker, and everything you need to cook a full group meal without running to the store for a single thing.

The Bigfoot theme runs through the whole cabin — two original murals, carved wood accents, Bigfoot track decals in unexpected places, and coffee mugs your guests will try to sneak home. Kids will spend the first hour hunting for all of them. Adults will appreciate that it's tasteful, not tacky.

──── THE ENTERTAINMENT ────

The stadium theater has real surround sound and theater-style seating. Not a TV in a dark room — actual stadium seating where everyone has a great view and the audio fills the space. Movie nights here are a different experience.

Two full-size arcade machines for when the movie's over. A HUGE fire pit outside, flanked by the Bigfoot steel cutouts that make every fire-pit photo look like it belongs in a magazine. And a brand-new hot tub on the back porch — complete with an outdoor TV, so you can watch the game while soaking under the stars with mountain views in every direction.

The WiFi runs at 750mb+. Bring your own streaming logins. It'll handle all of them simultaneously.

──── THE LOCATION ────

Nine miles to Dollywood. Ten miles to Pigeon Forge. Eighteen miles to Gatlinburg. And — unlike most Smoky Mountains cabins — the roads to our driveway are flat and easy. No white-knuckle switchbacks in the dark. Your group arrives relaxed, not stressed.

Douglas Lake is 10 minutes away. Wilderness at the Smokies waterpark is 13 minutes. Sevierville's shops, restaurants, and outlet malls are close. The Smokies are right there when you want them and easy to ignore when you don't.

──── BEST FOR ────

Groups of 6–10 who want an experience, not just a roof. Families with kids who will love the theme. Adults who want to spend evenings by the fire pit more than they want to spend them driving around looking for things to do. Dog owners — we welcome two dogs under 50 lbs.

If your group would describe their dream trip as "we didn't want to leave," Bigfoot Base Camp is where you're staying.

Here Are A Few Kind Words From Our Past Guests:

"A wonderful place to stay for a quick weekend trip with the family! Loved that all of the roads to the cabin were flat and maintained. Joel was super friendly and fast to respond. He had QR codes all around the house with videos about how to use everything - all houses should have these! The house was SUPER clean and had everything you need. We enjoyed playing on the arcade machines and sitting in the theater to watch a movie. Check in and check out was a breeze. We hope to stay with Joel again for any future trips!" - Kelsey

"Bigfoot lodge was amazing! Plenty of space for my family of 10 with many amenities. This place is so well equipped for a long weekend trip or longer and is easy to fun and close to everything. Dollywood was so easy to get to and was perfect with the use of back roads as you were able to skip all the traffic. Joel and his team are so responsive and proactive in offering suggestions for everything! We will be looking to stay here again in the near future! Thanks again!" - Blaine

"My stay at Joel’s place was amazing!! I loved everything about their home. Everything was organized and not too far from things to do. Highly recommended!" - Aushai
