Memories to last a lifetime are made here in the Great Smoky Mountains, in this luxury cabin with floor-to-ceiling windows. Snuggle in front of a cozy fire or in the private hot tub. Relax on one of 3 decks, play pool, or watch a movie on a massive 75" Theater TV
We're only a mile from the Pigeon Forge Parkway, on good roads, set back from the road in the trees for privacy and privately-owned for that personal touch.
The Lazy Bear Chalet is nestled in the foothills of the Smokies, about a mile from the Pigeon Forge parkway. The rustic mountain atmosphere is right in front of you, thanks to floor-to-ceiling windows and beamed cathedral ceilings. The natural wood finishes and a classy warm ambiance welcomes you to your home-away-from-home. Enjoy complementary gourmet Coffee, Tea, and Hot Chocolate in the well-equipped kitchen, with all the comforts of home.

Spend your evenings grilling steaks on the gas BBQ, enjoying a favorite cocktail, or soaking in the private hot tub after a long day of exploring Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and the Great Smoky Mountains. Keep an eye out for local wildlife! Bears, Raccoons and other critters are common in the area, but won't bother you unless you leave food or trash out.
When you're ready to head inside, gather in front of the stone fireplace to keep nice and toasty warm.
