Bear Creek Lodge is absolutely one of the best bargains for group lodging in the Smokies! With rates starting at $350.00 per night, we make visiting the Smokies affordable! Whether planning a family reunion, private wedding party, church outing, or a family vacation to the Smokies, our private lodge has it all and will easily accommodate up to 16 guests if using all sleeping areas:
(1) queen sofa sleeper in game room (2) game room sleeping: day bed w/pull out mattress underneath.

Bear Creek is centrally located, only two-point-nine miles from the main parkway (441 in Pigeon Forge - traffic light number three - Wears Valley Road), and is easily accessible to the trolley running nearby.

There are TVs, DVDs and VCRs spaced throughout the cabin.

Bear Creek Lodge features five bedrooms (one king and four queens) plus an additional open loft king-size bedroom with cathedral ceiling for 6th king bedroom. There is also a twin day bed with a pull-out twin mattress underneath for a wee one, and a queen-size sofa sleeper. For maximum privacy, each of the three floors has two bedrooms plus a full bath. The large family area features a wood-burning fireplace (availability of wood on arrival is optional), TV, and cathedral ceiling. The kids and grown-ups alike will love the game room with TV and pool table.

Relax on the front porch and view the setting sun as it paints a palette of colors on the majestic mountains. Retreat to the screened in porch for a bubbly hot tub massage or escape to one of two back decks and enjoy the sights and sounds of nature as dusk encloses and fireflies and 'critters' visit the gentle stream below. Enjoy cooking outside on the charcoal grill and dine underneath the stars as the cool evening breezes engulf you with their calming effects. For those who prefer indoor dining, our fully-furnished kitchen will please even the most demanding chef. There is adequate seating for indoor dining for up to approximately 13-16 people.

Our Summer Get-Away

Our entire family had a wonderful time at Bear Creek Lodge! It fully met all of our expectations and more! The cabin is so easy to get to and is close to shopping. Having a large group, we ate most of our meals "at home" and were very happy with the kitchen, the grill, and the large table for dining. Thank you for all your help as we planned our trip! Bear Creek Lodge is definitely a repeat accomodation and one to share the info with friends and family.

Amazing cabin and host!

We had a business retreat at the cabin and absolutely loved every aspect of this cabin and the host was so amazing to work with and always prompt with responses! We even saw a black bear! Hot tub was so relaxing after a busy day of work and training! This is the perfect get away place that really feels like home! Loved the big table for dinners with our team and everyone having a seat! 10/10 recommend!

Extra Nice

Great place to get away from it all, yet still be right up the road from Pigeon Forge. Eleven of us came to play music at the Heritage Festival over in Townsend; but when the weather was less than cooperative, we just jammed at the “cabin”, and there was plenty of room for everyone! We had a fantastic weekend and I would definitely consider another stay there in the future.🎻🎶

Karen, Thank you so much ...

Karen, Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. We had a wonderful vacation. The location was perfect exactly what we were looking for. On our last morning there we woke up to snow, It was so beautiful. This was the first time that I have ever seen snow on the mountains. I will never forget it. Thanks again from all of us. When I share my stories with family and friends I will definitely recomend your cabin.

Absolute bliss

Pictures cannot do justice to this beautiful cabin and surrounding area. I loved the rustic homey feel, while also being clean and having modern conveniences. Karen was extremely responsive to any issues we had. Our group included 12 women ages 17+, and we never felt like we were on top of each other. The showers kept up with all of us, and we felt completely safe in the area. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit, and I hope to have the opportunity to stay here again.

Great place for a family of families

We spent Christmas here and it was amazing minus the crazy arctic temps. However, Karen was great with the communication. Most importantly there are enough bedrooms that my wife and I along with both my sisters and their husbands and my mom all had bedrooms along with all 6 of the grandkids ranging from 10-23. The fireplace was excellent there was plenty of room for the kids to play inside and the hot tub was great even with the temps! Our family highly recommends this place and would definitely go back if we decide to go back! We had a great time!! Thanks!!!!!!! Great price too!!!

Beautiful Mountain Cabin

My family stayed here during October 2011. The leaves were changing, and the property was beautiful. The house and land are spacious which allows for privacy and close enough to town to be extremely convenient. The house was very clean and had everything we needed. The large hot tub on the back deck is very relaxing, and the pool table kept the teens entertained. It was very nice that everyone had a tv in their room. The alarm system brings peace of mind. Loved the "sky windows" upstairs. Three bathrooms makes for a peaceful time:) Extremely nice, clean property and home. Very spacious with all the amenities of home. Can't wait to stay here again!!

Overall Good

The house was nice. Great location, clean, and roomy. However, they didn't provide enough tissue or paper towels. Also the garbage cans on the outside are too small to accommodate a household of 12 for 3-4 days so therefore you are responsible for dumping extra trash or else a fee is charged. The furniture is outdated and the sofa bed in the basement is broken. Other than those things, it is most definitely worth the price and i would stay here again.

Don’t stay here

The home needs repairs. Most of it is outdated. The house was dirty upon arrival. We had to go buy supplies to clean before we could even unpack. The host didn’t care at all about the condition of the property.

Family and Friends Teen Birthday Party

This property was just what we needed and we really enjoyed the ambience of the mountains and stream yet so close to everything else. Off the beaten path on East St. To our surprise the kitchen was fully stocked for cooking and there was a new charcoal grill for our burgers! There is a huge dining room table and comfortable beds and furniture throughout. If you want a completely updated place, try somewhere else, but if you are looking for a group mountain retreat space that is affordable and comfortable and close to everything - this is your spot! Also worth mentioning, the owner was very friendly, checked with us to see how things were going and responsive in answering our questions. We really wish we had another night to rent, but when you have a good spot, you have a good spot!!

50th wedding anniversary

My parents decided to spend their special day in the Smokies with all five children, spouses and grandkids. We all immediately felt right at home. There was plenty of room for 20 people to spread out. We spent a lot of evenings gathered in living, kitchen area, conversing and playing cards. The memories created in your beautiful cabin are priceless. The location was perfect for exploring. I do have one suggestion. Old and young alike are drawn to the backstairs. I would add non skid strips. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy your beautiful cabin. I will always cherish my time spent there.

About the host

Hosted by Karen

Host profile image
I'm Karen & worked as a LA teacher before coming on board as an educational diagnostician (assessing children for special needs). I resigned my LA position June 2012, and as of August 2012, I am now teaching a special needs class in nearby MS. My husband, Donald, is a retired security officer from a LA state inmate facility. He and I have owned rental property for the past 25 years and we renovate our own properties. We renovated a house in MS a couple blocks from the Gulf which Katrina claimed in 2005. We looked on the bright side and bought a house in Pigeon Forge 2006: Bear Creek Lodge. We are building back on our lot in Bay St. Louis, MS, so remember us if you are planning a trip to the mountains or to the beach. We are blessed to live on LA/MS line where we can go back & forth for important things: LA: grandchildren and church; MS: beach and school children. The most important things in our lives are God, our children, grandchildren, family and friends.

Why they chose this property

I feel the presence of God daily, but when I take a scenic ride through Smokey Mt. National Park or Cades Cove, I think of how great my God must be that He spoke this existence into place. I've vacationed here for many years and owning a piece of property here was a far-away dream, but God made it a reality in 2006. He gave me a piece of the mountain. We invite you, our family and friends, to visit and enjoy a piece of the treasure with us. We want to share!

What makes this property unique

The real estate agent took us to look at many homes. Some had the great rolling view, but being from LA, the roads to access some of the properties were way too steep and curvy for me. Then, we saw Bear Creek Lodge. It was easily accessible and had a slow ascension--not the steep, curvy roads. Bear Creek Lodge didn't have the rolling view, but the traditional mountain view from the 2 back decks was awesome. It was a breath-taking mountain view looking down the side of the mountain. We could glance the small branch/creek flowing near the bottom and we could hear it, but it wasn't accessible. After purchase, the first thing we did was pay someone to clear enough of the underbrush to make the creek visible. My husband and some help then built over 100 steps leading down to the creek. Today, it's now a traditional mountain scene that one would see on a long mountain hike, but instead of the hike, at Bear Creek Lodge, all one has to do is walk/climb the steps. Guests have shared with me their experiences of walking down the many steps to the creek and countless children have played near the stream.

The inside of the cabin is spacious and offers privacy for families to stay together under 1 roof and still depart on speaking terms: 3 floors with 2 bedrooms and 1 bath on each floor, affording privacy to everyone.
