No matter if you're looking for a romantic getaway or a quick weekend away with the family, Lazy Bear Lodge (sleeps 4) is the perfect Smoky Mountain cabin for your vacation.

Located just outside of town on the edge of Wears Valley, Lazy Bear Lodge is a short 10 or 15 minute drive from the action of Pigeon Forge and Sevierville, but still far enough away to actually FEEL the comforting call of the mountains.

And talk about mountains! The cabin is located near the top of a windy road in a quiet little cul de sac. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park lies literally in the back yard, jutting up majestically from the back porch. And from the wooden rocking chairs on the front porch, you can gaze through the trees and into Wears Valley in the distance.

The cabin itself is appointed just as you'd hope and although it's small in size, it's filled with charm. As you walk into the front door, you're greeted by a soaring 15' ceiling. A sleeper sofa and leather chair face a wood burning fireplace, giving the perfect place to get cozy on a chilly night. (Be sure to pick up some wood on the drive in if you want to use it!) The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need - Keurig and a coffee maker, pots, pans, silverware, glasses, blender, crock pot, microwave, iron and board, washer and dryer. Just bring any food you want and you're all set.

The flat screen TV is a Roku and will let you use any of your streaming services. (If you don't have any, just reach out and we can get you set up for your stay) We also have a small library of DVDs that are a good backup in case "nothing is on". There is also an XBOX 360 with two controllers and games in case you need to video game entertainment while at home.

The bedroom features a king bed and extra comfy mattress, which is perfect for getting a great night of sleep. And the bathroom has a Jacuzzi tub and unique waterfall bathtub spout and tree shower head which gives a great country quirky feel.

And be sure to take advantage of the charcoal BBQ grill when you're ready to cook up some tasty dinner as well. Best of all, there are plenty of chairs on both the front and back porches so you can take in nature - the birds chirping in the mornings, the wind rustling through the trees, or maybe a fox or bear walking by (if you're lucky!).

When you're done relaxing in the hills, the entire area is chock full of things to see and do. Head to Great Smoky Mountains National Park for a long hike and your eyes peeled for wildflowers, white-tailed deer and 60+ species of birds that are there year round. If it happens to be rainy, climb into your car and take a drive through the park for glimpses of historic buildings dating back to the 1800s. In either case, pack a picnic lunch and make a day of it!

Dollywood is the beating heart in the area and has something for all ages, whether it be amusement park rides or fun live entertainment. Gatlinburg Golf Course is there if you have a desire to get in a few holes... But most don't know that there is a Harrah's Casino a short drive away in Cherokee, NC. And of course you can ski at Ober in Gatlinburg as well as Cataloochee Ski Area in North Carolina if you want to get some half decent shredding action.

For a couple seeking a relaxing retreat or a small family looking for a getaway, there's no better place than here in the Smoky Mountains. Don't miss out on Lazy Bear Lodge - book your stay today!
