We stayed for a week and absolutely LOVED the cabin. There is plenty of room for everyone. While our family is quite small (only 4 of us) I can assure you that the cabin will easily sleep 12, and 14 comfortably.
You will find everything that you and your family needs for a comfortable stay in the mountains. Comfortable furniture in the living spaces, a game room downstairs, complete with a pool table and a multi-cade arcade machine. There are two leveled of wrap-around porches, with rockers, a bench swing, and a hot tub too! The kitchen had all the necessities and the propane grill made burgers and hotdogs a breeze.
The cabin is located in Bear Creek Crossings, a wonderful gated community of similar cabins. We had access to both the indoor and outdoor pool, neither of which were ever too crowded. There is a 9-hole mini golf course down by the pool area, which was also a lot of fun. You can walk to the pool quite easily, however, there is a bit of an incline coming back up to the cabin. Nothing a reasonably fit person couldn’t handle, but something to consider.
The property is also conveniently located to Pigeon Forge, which is only a short 10 minute drive away. That’s where you’ll find the closest grocery store, but also TONS of other things to do. We spent an entire day just visiting the town and walking the strip, checking out the souvenir shops, a couple wineries, the wax museum; we even had dinner at the Pirate Show! It may sound a bit kitschy, but it’s really done well and we had a blast.
A week isn’t long enough to do all that the Smoky Mountains have to offer. But that’s ok. Because when I go back, I know EXACTLY where I want to stay again.
