Rocky Bear Rest

From the moment you step onto the front porch, you’ll know you’re home. Tucked into the woods, Rocky Bear Rest is a cool, shady oasis. It’s close enough to Pigeon Forge that you can enjoy the bustle of town, yet secluded enough that you can breathe in the mountain air and hear the wind in the trees. This two-bedroom cabin for six is ideal for a small family or group of friends looking to get away from it all. 

Living Area

Come on in! You’ll find convenient amenities wrapped in mountain lodge decor. The log furniture shows off Appalachian craft at its finest. The thickly cushioned log sofa, chairs, and a plump recliner gather around the stone fireplace, where adorable bears cavort on the fire screen and mantelpiece! Light a fire to warm your toes while you plan tomorrow’s fun in Pigeon Forge. Turn on the flat-screen TV and catch up on those shows you’ve been meaning to watch.

Kitchen 

Beautiful as well as functional, this gourmet kitchen gives you elbow room to try new things. The honey-toned wood cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances do more than look great. They’re your headquarters for whipping up meals, snacks, and picnics. The fully equipped kitchen includes all the cookware and dishes you need. Bring recipes for your family’s favorite dishes and hit the local farmer’s markets for fresh, local ingredients. 

Dining Area

The log dining table, chairs, and benches seat up to six guests. The dining area looks out on a forest view through floor-to-ceiling windows. Linger at the table and watch for wildlife right outside. Maybe an owl will glide into the trees. Is that a fox darting past? 

Bedrooms

The bedrooms’ Smokies-themed decor is charming and outdoorsy. Both bedrooms feature beautifully crafted log beds and log side tables. East Tennessee’s iconic bears peep out from artworks and lamps. Topping both beds are colorful country quilts, just like at Grandma’s house. The classic “wedding ring” quilt is sure to raise a smile when you spy the tiny bears strolling through the pattern! 

The two bright, wood-paneled bathrooms give you plenty of space. One features a deep, jetted tub to massage and relax you. Enjoy a glass of wine or moonshine while you Indulge in a long soak after a day of hiking or ziplining.

The living room sofa is also a futon sleeper sofa, giving your crew even more options for getting a good night’s rest. The cabin accommodates up to six guests with ease. 

Outdoor Spaces

Will you while away the hours in a rocking chair? Feel the breeze as you sway on the porch swing. You’ve got time to do nothing but rest on the cabin’s old-fashioned front porch.

Out back, the hot tub bubbles your cares away. Try hot tubbing under the stars! In the yard, a wooden footbridge leads you to the steel fire pit in a leafy, mossy grove. Roast hot dogs or marshmallows, or just watch the flames dance as night falls.

Other Amenities

Got a whole gang coming? Parking is no problem here, with four spaces to keep everyone’s vehicles nearby. 

The washer and dryer make cleanups simple after a muddy day in the mountains

When you just want to hang out together at the cabin, challenge yourselves to tournaments on the pool table or the arcade game system. The winner gets to pick tomorrow’s outing!
