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!

The View

My favorite thing about this cabin were the views. My husband and I love to sit and relax and have our morning coffee just enjoying the views and this was a great place to do it. The cabin was clean and perfect for our family that ranged in age 0 to 60. The only issue was that the microwave was not working, but we made due. We spent a lot of time in the cabin enjoying all of the amenities. The game room and theater room were especially great for our group. Would rebook this cabin if visiting in the future.

PERFECT GROUP CABIN!

We loved and used the arcade until our arms fell off, the hot tub was clean and there were ample bed options. There are some many great spaces to sit outside and in. The kitchen was well enough appointed for our purposes! We could have used more hand towel. Everything was in working order, beautiful views and easy enough drive, not to much twisting and turning but wouldn’t love to do it at night. Would absolutely stay here again!

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!!

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!

Unacceptable

When we arrived at 4 PM on Sunday 11/19/23 the property had not be cleaned. Back door was wide open. Nothing was locked except the front door. Beds hadn't been stripped. No starter supplies period. There was a 7'+ black bear going through trash that had been strewn all over the place. Trash had not been secured. SEVERAL lights were out that needed replacing - still did not get them all working. The men that came to work on them said the light fixtures need replacing badly as they could be a fire hazard. The cleaning crew showed up over an hour and a half later. On Tuesday Gatlinburg had a fierce wind storm that knocked out the power & water (we were told to get water out of the hotub - UNACCEPTABLE) for 10 hours. We brought lots of food for the week. I called the owner to request a generator. Could not secure one. As the day waned on it began to get dark. I called to get flashlights, candles anything. No response (this was UNACCEPTABLE). The power did come on as we were leaving for the evening. The property needs a DEEP cleaning. The cleaners surfaced cleaned. We went behind to finish what they attempted. We should have been compensated for the cleaning.The property had a leak which I reported. Minor repairs need repairing again. The property needs updating for the required rental fee. Would not recommend this property until attention is given to cleaning & repairs.

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!
