About the host
Hosted by Tanya
Hello everyone, my name is Tanya. I’m a married mom of four who loves outdoor adventures and spending quality time with family. We absolutely adore the beauty of nature, and all the fun activities this area offers. We love the area so much that in August of 2020 our family decided to purchase our first vacation home. We wanted something large and luxurious enough for our family of six and ideal for hosting friends and extended family when we travel together. We hope you enjoy our property as much as our family has. Please reach out if you have any questions— I’m always happy to help!
Why they chose this property
Simple Bear Necessities isn't just a place to sleep between Dollywood days — it's where your vacation actually happens.
This spacious 4-bedroom, 3-bath Pigeon Forge home was designed from the ground up for families who want more than four walls and a parking spot. Three king beds mean no one's fighting over the good room. A Pac-Man arcade, air hockey table, Nerf battle wall, and Nintendo Switch keep the kids busy on rainy afternoons (or honestly, any afternoon). And when the day winds down, the private hot tub is waiting.
What sets this cabin apart from the pack: Truly accessible — no stairs, no stress. There are zero steps to enter the home, and the entire main level is stair-free. Everything you need is on one floor: a king bedroom, full bathroom with tub/shower combo, living room, dining room, laundry, and a private outdoor patio with the hot tub. No steep mountain roads to navigate either — the route from the Parkway to your front door is completely flat. Whether you're traveling with elderly parents, young children, strollers, or guests with mobility considerations, this home was built with easy access in mind.
Genuinely close to everything. Dollywood is 2.2 miles away. The Parkway is under a mile. Dolly Parton's Stampede is a 5-minute drive. You're not "near Pigeon Forge" — you're in the middle of it.
Room for the whole crew. Sleeps up to 10 guests across four bedrooms with a dining table that seats 8, plus 3 bar stools at the kitchen island. Enough space that you're together when you want to be, and spread out when you need it.
Seasonal community pool, steps away. The Bear Cove Falls Resort pool is a 3-minute walk — open Memorial Day through Labor Day, no key required.
Pet-friendly. Up to 2 dogs (50 lbs or less) welcome with a paid pet fee. There's even a nearby dog kennel at Doggywood if you're spending a full day at the park.
This is a home built for making memories — not just checking in and checking out. We can't wait to host you.
What makes this property unique
Perfect for people who may have trouble with stairs. There are no stairs or or even a step to enter the house! Everything you may need is on the first floor: kitchen, living room, laundry and dining room along with a master king ensuite. There are no stairs or steps on the first floor. Three more bedrooms upstairs, which all include large closets, televisions and ceiling fans. The BBQ grill is in the front and private hot tub out back. Pac-Man arcade and air hockey table upstairs to keep the kids occupied. There is also a community pool and fire pit, please bring your own firewood if you would like to use the fire pit.
