Big Beautiful Bear Shack. I loved the place, it was such an amazing place and with a big beautiful view. The view was phenomenal almost photographical like. The rooms were excellent and goes perfect with nerf and pool table. I would absolutely recommend this place to a friend and would stay here again! Amazing! We enjoyed every second at the cabin! We brought our kids with us and the downstairs kept them entertained between the Nerf guns, Karaoke, Arcade games and the PS5. We will definitely be back again. Beautiful cabin! I loved the Alexa screen when you walk in! Lots of stuff for kids and even adults to do in the cabin! It’s about 12 mins to Gatlinburg strip which was very convenient! Definitely recommend! I did a tour of the cabin on my TikTok page @brandinicole912 Lauren
