Had a great vacation there with friends and families. Kids enjoyed the games in the basement. Awesome place! We really enjoyed our extended stay at Big Bear Shack. The house was well furnished and made it easy to cook a handful of meals. The hot tub and views are great. The house is up a really steep driveway and not much grass if you are bringing a bigger dog. We have a seasoned traveling chocolate lab that managed to you use the very small patch of weeds. It is in a great location, 20 minutes to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. And we were lucky enough to see a black bear(from inside) walking down the driveway the first night of checking in. Great place with kids. Host is very responsive.
It took us about 12 minutes to get to Gatlinburg from the house.
We saw some bears lower down the mountain, which was cool. House was amazing and the views were much more amazing in person. The house was full of activities for our family and the hot tub was great. The driveway was very steep but after going up once you get used to it. Very close to downtown. Could not find a single thing to complain about with this home. Was very clean and stocked well with all of the typical household supplies.
