Kitchen
A large group retreat isn’t complete without a large-scale kitchen. Big Bear Views Lodge doesn’t disappoint with its open, updated kitchen — featuring a full-size refrigerator, large breakfast bar for 5, and plenty of counter space for prepping, cooking, and serving.
Fully equipped, enjoy an over-the-range microwave, electric stove, and stainless-steel double sink as well as small appliances, like a blender, toaster, and coffeemaker. Simply stop by the Gatlinburg Farmers Market, which opens every spring in the Smokies, and grab fresh local produce, homemade treats, and delicious jams and jellies. Combine your Farmers Market picks with grocery store staples like pancake mix, bread, deli meats, eggs, and milk, and you’ll have plenty of tasty options for eating in the cabin during your Gatlinburg stay. And if that doesn’t float your boat, a pizza party should do the trick!
Dining Room
If you do cook in the cabin or request delivery, you’ll have the perfect place to dine as a group with the large dining table at Big Bear Views Lodge. With a log bench for 4 and 6 matching chairs, this wooden table is roomy enough for 10 guests. Plus, the breakfast bar is conveniently located next to the dining room with bar stool seating for 5 more.

An air hockey table, Big Buck Wild Arcade Game, and pool table are just some of the fun options inside Big Bear Views Lodge. Enter the rink like a champion, challenge your bestie to shooting rounds, and pool around with your coworkers.
Besides all these, you’ll find a Super Cars Driving Game and a flatscreen 60-game Multicade unit with all your old favorites — from Pac-Man and Frogger to Donkey Kong and Galaga. Race to the finish line to claim first place and beat all the high scores before the trip is over!

This rustic theater room recreates the movie theater experience right inside your Gatlinburg cabin, with comfy theater seating for 20. Movie posters on the wall, surround sound, and a giant 75” flatscreen HD Blu-ray theater TV are all waiting for you— all you need to bring is the Blu-ray disc or DVD.
Bedrooms
When you visit the Smokies, one of the best reasons to choose a Gatlinburg cabin over a downtown hotel is the roomy, cozy bedrooms waiting for YOU — like the 5 bedrooms found inside Big Bear Views Lodge! Instead of cramped sleeping quarters, you’ll find large bedrooms with log-style furniture, comfy bedding, private electric fireplaces (no heat), and homey accents like ceiling fans, reading lamps, bureaus, and flatscreen TVs.
What's even better is that each bedroom has its own flair - with differing bedspreads, views, and amenities. Choose from a bedroom with its own fireplace or its own garden tub - or both! Three of the five have their own large garden tubs, perfect for spa nights in the cabin! Total, you’ll be able to sleep 22 guests in Big Bear Views Lodge's 5 bedrooms. That’s because most bedrooms offer more than one place to sleep. This spacious lodge offers 4 king-size bedrooms and 1 large bunk-room with 2 sets of Hickory bunkbeds and 3 queen-size sofa sleepers.
Outdoor Spaces
If you’re traveling to the area to really see Gatlinburg, Big Bear Views Lodge is a great cabin choice for your large group. Why? Because this cabin offers tree-studded views of the city lights and spectacular Smoky Mountain scenes right from your back decks! Sip on a glass of locally made wine with your spouse in the evenings in one of the double rocking chairs while you gaze at the night sky or soothe tired muscles in the outdoor hot tub while watching comedy shows on the flatscreen TV!
Another outdoor amenity provided by this semi-private cabin is a double-size, picnic-style (charcoal) grill, where you can cook a delicious meal of juicy burgers, savory steaks, veggie kabobs, and tender chicken during your group’s summer getaway. To add to your convenience, this cabin provides a flat, newly paved driveway capable of fitting up to 7 vehicles. Additional parking is available in the cul-de-sac on the dead-end street by the cabin, and it can accommodate bus parking just about 100 yards from the cabin. And to make life even easier, there are only 2 steps to enter the home as well as a large front porch, meaning unpacking and loading the cars will be easy as pie!
