About this property

Buck & Bear Lodge - Direct mtn views, arcade, fast wifi and great for families!

Welcome to Buck & Bear Lodge - bring your family to stay in our 7 bedroom, 6 bathroom log cabin home with breathtaking mountain views. Our cabin is perfect for large family groups to all stay together in one place!

Be sure to watch our video tour of our cabin!

About our cabin:
Our over-sized eat in kitchen with granite counter tops has all the amenities a chef may need, including plenty of seating for your family and friends. The eat in kitchen area seats up to 16 people. The spacious island counter provides seating for 3 people and an additional table seats up to 6.

Take in the spectacular views of Mount LeConte and Greenbrier Pinnacle from one of the many decks or take a dip in the hot tub. Outside on the deck is a gas BBQ grill and rocking chairs to sit and relax.

Sit in front of the cozy fireplace and watch the game on the 40” flat screen TV in the main living area while lounging on the comfortable sofas and club chairs. This main level has easy access to two king bedrooms with attached bathrooms. One king bedroom on this level has a romantic, private deck. We installed brand new hickory floors in both bedrooms on the main level and a new glass shower door in the main bathroom.

Upstairs in the loft, watch a movie on a 60" flat screen HDTV with theater seating for seven people. The upper level also boasts a spacious master suite with private deck and bathroom that includes granite counters, a separate shower and tub.

On the lower level is a fantastic game room offering fun for everyone with 5 arcade games, pool table, air hockey, and bubble hockey! The arcade games go well beyond the traditional Ms. Pacman. Buck & Bear Lodge has high-quality racing games that really make you feel like you’re on a snowmobile, motorcycle or high-speed race car. There is a second refrigerator available in the game room closet to provide extra food/beverage storage for larger groups.

This level has 4 bedrooms: two bedrooms offer full sized beds and shared bathroom, one king bedroom with private bathroom, and a bunk room perfect for kids with attached full bath. Private decks are available to all rooms, with the exception of the bunk room.

The lower level also has a queen size sleeper sofa and laundry room with washer and dryer.

Why rent our cabin? Because when you rent with us, you are renting directly from an owner, not a rental company that is just trying to fill up rental properties. Customer service and attention to detail is important to us. We'll do our best to make your stay in our vacation home an enjoyable one!

Great Family House!
House was beautiful and great location...perfect for our family of 19!! Views are a slice of heaven!! Beds are very firm, but we got used to it. Drive to grocery store is about 10 minutes and about 15-20 (depending on traffic) to Gatlinburg town. A/C wasn't working properly a couple days and contacted Danielle. She ensured maintenance came same day! Very responsive from booking thru checkout!! Highly recommend!!

Vacation
The property’s was great. Kids love the game room. It was a beautiful place. Views were out standing. Only thing the shower in the upstairs bathroom door wouldn’t stay closed. And the water wouldn’t get hot. Everything else was great.

Annual Christmas 4 day Weekend
Buck & Bear Lodge was a wonderful place to stay! Every year, for the past 15 years, my entire family ages 6-83 this year, spends the first weekend in December in The Smokey's Mountains. This year we stayed at the Buck & Bear Lodge. We had an amazing time! It beyond suited our needs! We even woke up to a BEAR in the back of our truck!!! There were 15 of us this year. We had plenty of room to spread out and have our own space. Everyone enjoyed the game room including my 83 year old grandmother! She really liked the car racing game! There was a big variety of games to keep everyone entertained. The kitchen was AMAZING!!! It was completely well stocked for a big group. My mom said it was the best kitchen we have ever had on our trips! We did all our meals there at the cabin. It was great to have big pots and pans to cook with and pleanty of dishes and silverware. The dining room table was huge! Everyone was able to eat together at one time. We highly enjoyed sitting around the table playing cards! The check in/out was extremely simple. We had a couple of questions when we first arrived, the property manager was excellent, prompt, easy to communicate with. The property was very conveniently located near town so it was easy to run to the store or out for doughnuts! Overall we had a Wonderful time Our entire experience was wonderful! We will definitely be back in the future!

About the host

Hosted by Alpine Escapes Luxury Cabins

Host profile image
As owners of six other properties in Gatlinburg, we've recently decided to manage the rental of our latest vacation home ourselves. So, while this is our first adventure in managing a cabin directly with guests, rest assure that we have the knowledge and experience to make your stay wonderful. You will get personalized attention, knowing that you're the only guests we support. Please contact us with any questions.

Why they chose this property

We love this property because it's easy to get to (you can avoid the Sevierville, Pigeon Forge traffic if you want) and it's less than 20 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg. The views are stunning year-round and the house, itself, is beautifully crafted and decorated. Personally, our favorite part of the cabin is the amazing game room. While most cabins in Gatlinburg have one arcade machine, Buck & Bear has six--and they are so much fun.

What makes this property unique

The cabin is on the mountain and has exceptional views. You can enjoy the peace and quiet of nature here and then drive to Gatlinburg to enjoy the tourist experience.

This is the only cabin we manage, so when you rent from us you have our 100% attention. We are happy to answer any questions you have - just give us a call!
