What better way to spend time with friends and family than to sing and play together? We've put in a piano, as well as a banjo and guitar in the cabin for our guests. And if you don't already know how to play – now might be a good time to learn!

Thanks to Neissa for your review of your stay last month at Big Bear Ridge Lodge:

"Upon inquiring about Big Bear Ridge Lodge in January 2021 (for a July 2021 rental), Markus, the owner, couldn't have been more helpful. He patiently and thoroughly answered all of my questions and was always quick to respond to emails, phone calls or texts. He was also very interested in making our rental experience the best possible! I rented the Big Bear Ridge Lodge in July for a women's adventure trip. Throughout our 10 days at the cabin, we had two groups of 11 women stay and everything about the house was perfect! There was plenty of room--both inside and outside and the setting was beautiful--just what you would expect and I wanted in the Smoky Mountains. Through Markus, I scheduled a mid-stay cleaning and linen change and the housekeeper was also great too! We loved having the outdoor fire pit for s'mores too. All in all, the cabin was perfect. Not only would I stay there again (and I'd love to!) but I'd recommend it for a family/multi-family or getaway cabin. Thank you, Markus!"

I hope we get to welcome you again if you organize another trip to the Smokies!

After a long day hiking the Smokies, it can be nice to dim the lights low and relax with the ceiling lights reinforcing the warm glow of the fireplace. We've just put in new dimmer switches and dim-to-warm lightbulbs throughout the cabin so you can set the lights just as you prefer during your stay.

The Christmas tree is up at Big Bear Ridge Lodge! We've put a 9’ Sugarlands Spruce from Balsam Hill in this cabin, inspired by the evergreens that thrive in the Tennessee mountains.

There are some dates still left in January if you would like to come and share some seasonal cheer in our cabin with your loved ones.

Happy Holidays to all!

Earlier this year, we finished a major solar installation on the cabin, helping make our guests’ stays more environmentally friendly. With the help of the Tennessee sun, the system provides both electricity and hot water enough for even the largest of groups - using the largest hot water tank that the solar company had ever installed! Thanks to Philip and his family for the pictures from their recent stay at the cabin!

To give you even more options for how to spend your time together at the cabin, we've gotten more than a dozen classic board games for all ages (including Clue, Monopoly, Risk, Battleship, National Parks Trivia, Parcheesi, Sorry!, Chutes and Ladders, and Candy Land) and party games (including Taboo, Quelf, Pictionary, Apples to Apples, Twister, Jenga, and Speak Out).

So that everyone can have a fun time in the cabin, you will now find an Xbox One X in the movie theater room. We have set it up with four controllers, and already have several sports and party/family games so that you can play together during your stay. Let us know if there are any particular games you think we should have for our guests!

We have just put up the Christmas tree, wreaths, and other seasonal decorations in our huge 6 bedroom Gatlinburg cabin with incredible views over the Smoky Mountains. We chose a 9’ Sugarlands Spruce for this cabin, as this is inspired by the evergreens that thrive in the Tennessee mountains. If you have ever put up a larger tree from Balsam Hill, you know that it is quite an undertaking (it took us over 8 hours) – but well worth it in the end. We are hoping that our guests over the coming weeks will enjoy it as much as we did this week.

We still have some days available before Christmas and in January with special rates!

Creating the perfect Smoky Mountains cabin experience

We have always loved traveling and have had the opportunity to explore places around the world together with friends and family. But we have always kept coming back to the Smoky Mountains and Gatlinburg in particular – the combination of stunning nature, hiking, history, and entertainment options for everyone makes it an unparalleled destination for family visits. When the opportunity finally arose to invest in a cabin in Gatlinburg, it was a dream come true for us. This cabin offered everything that we found important – large common areas, a social and open kitchen, dining area that can seat any size of group, six bedrooms providing enough comfortable sleeping space for friends and family, and beautiful craftsmanship in the log construction, and a serene location with amazing views of the Smokies.

We had already had vacation rental properties elsewhere, where we quickly developed a passion for providing the elements for perfect vacations. Whether for a weekend or for a week or more, guests should be made feel like they are feeling like at home away from home – while providing the setting and all the amenities for a special vacation that helps bring people closer together. It’s also important to us to help guests connect with the genuinely local – whether special local products or experiences. Having stayed in many other cabins in the area, we knew the importance of having owners that truly cared for their properties, as well as their guests.

As we know that there are different preferences regarding booking platforms, we are happy to take reservations on any of the following: VRBO Airbnb TripAdvisor/Flipkey
