The bottom floor is the game room: pool table, foosball, and a stone wood-burning fireplace. Paved access, eight parking spots, trailer friendly. Pets are welcome, two max at 40 lb, $75 plus tax each. There is no swimming pool here.
Welcome to Smoky Bear Lodge with Guest House, a private mountain retreat where spacious accommodations, peaceful surroundings, and unforgettable moments come together. Nestled on 2.6 secluded acres just 10 minutes from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and Dollywood's Splash Country, this exceptional property comfortably sleeps up to 20 guests, making it the perfect destination for family reunions, holiday gatherings, church retreats, and group vacations.
Surrounded by the beauty of the Smokies, you'll enjoy the privacy of a wooded mountain setting with partial mountain views, a spacious yard, a fire pit, horseshoe pit, and plenty of room for everyone to relax and reconnect. Spend your mornings sipping coffee on the expansive wraparound porch, enjoy outdoor meals at the picnic tables, and gather around the fire pit under a canopy of stars after a day of adventure.
Inside, the lodge is thoughtfully designed for entertaining and spending time together. The fully equipped kitchen features double ovens, two sinks, an island cooktop, and generous prep space, making it easy to prepare meals for the whole group. Multiple fireplaces, inviting living areas, and comfortable furnishings create a warm atmosphere where memories are made.
Entertainment continues on the lower level with a spacious game room featuring pool, foosball, large-screen TV, and a second full kitchen area with a refrigerator and microwave. After exploring the Smokies, unwind in the private hot tub or gather around the fireplace to share stories from the day's adventures.
For guests seeking additional privacy, the attached octagonal guest house offers a unique retreat of its own. Complete with a king bedroom, full bath featuring a jetted tub, private deck, and separate entrance, it's the perfect escape for grandparents, a couple, or anyone looking for a little extra peace and quiet while still being part of the group.

Bear Camp’s standard terms are strict — without Deposit Protection there is no refund and no reschedule, for any reason. Deposit Protection is added at booking, and it is what opens the cancellation window.
This cabin has four or more bedrooms, so the 4+ bedroom terms apply: cancel at least 60 days before arrival for a refund, or reschedule once if you ask at least 30 days before arrival. Inside 60 days the deposit is forfeited.
How this compares: the default terms here are stricter than a typical platform cancellation policy, so this is worth understanding before you book rather than after. What Deposit Protection adds that most strict policies elsewhere do not: a free reschedule.
You pay half when you book and the rest thirty days before check-in — the same date the reschedule window closes. Nothing is charged in between.
Deposit Protection has to be added at the time of booking. It cannot be added later, so if there is any chance your dates move, decide at checkout.
Property Protection covers accidental damage during your stay up to the tier you pick — $500, $1,000 or $2,500 of coverage.
It is not insurance for your trip; it covers the cabin. Deposit Protection, above, is the one that covers your dates.
For groups larger than one cabin can hold, we can coordinate multiple cabins in the same resort - same dates, same check-in experience, shared amenities.
Locally managed by Vantage Stays in partnership with Bear Camp Cabin Rentals, a family-owned Smoky Mountain management company. Housekeeping is our own staff, background-checked, and maintenance is an in-house crew rather than a subcontractor.
