Each bedroom has its own private bathroom — creating welcoming retreats within this 16-bedroom cabin in the Smokies. And this pet-friendly cabin invites your whole family to come!

Living Room
As you step through the enchanting wooden door at your Pigeon Forge cabin rental, you’ll enter a world of relaxation and comfort. Passing the entryway sitting area, which features 2 armchairs plus a bark-and-stone wall exuding the natural landscape of the Smokies, you’ll come to the living area where a well-deserved rest is yours to take. Unwind on the 3 sofas with friends, family, teammates, or coworkers while enjoying a little entertainment on the big screen TV. On warmer days, flip on the ceiling fan to keep cool with an ice-cold glass of lemonade in hand.

As you look around, you’ll notice the complimenting red and black theme throughout the décor in the open-concept space that ties everything together beautifully, not to mention the captivating views through the large windows. Multiple tables and lamps keep the area convenient and cozy, plus there’s an electric fireplace — perfect for setting cozy cabin vibes and providing a heartwarming atmosphere to enjoy a good book, a nice chat, or an unforgettable Christmas in the Smoky Mountains.

Kitchen
Massive, stunning, fully equipped, luxurious…it’s hard to describe the double kitchen at your Smoky Mountain cabin in one word. When you need to whip up a large group breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack, you’ll appreciate the convenience of not only spacious countertops, tons of storage space, and a larger-than-life island with bar seating for 6 but also double the standard appliances, pots and pans, mugs, dinnerware, cutlery, and more!

Not to mention, you’ll have a full view of the Smokies through the large windows across the way in the dining area, so the chefs in your group will be more than happy to get cookin’ on your Smoky Mountain getaway!

Dining Area
Just off the full kitchen awaits the expansive dining area with 6 country chic tables, modern chandeliers overhead, and the tree-studded Smokies only a glance away. With seating for 36 added to the bar seating for 6 nearby, sitting area, living room, and outdoor picnic tables on the covered deck, everyone will have a place to dine and chat about great times at local attractions in Pigeon Forge. And when the food disappears, clear the tables and bust out the cabin board games for a fun tournament of champions!

Private Indoor Pool
Did someone say a private indoor pool?! Head downstairs to join in on all the splashin’ fun at your Pigeon Forge cabin with an indoor swimming pool. Teach your littles to swim, hear the kids laugh in a game of Marco Polo, enjoy a morning dip in peace, and make midnight adult time in the pool room — featuring stone flooring, a waterfall feature, and lovely Smoky Mountain views through the floor-to-ceiling windows!

Theater Room
Host movie night every night in the home theater — boasting a large projector and screen plus theater-style seating — at your large group cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN. Pass around bowls of buttery popcorn, sodas, and candy during the trailers and get ready to sit back and relax with your favorite Disney classics, Alfred Hitchcock thrillers, Sandra Bullock romantic comedies, M. Night Shyamalan head spinners, and magical Harry Potter marathons!

Rec Room
After fun at Downtown Flavortown, Appalachian escape games, or go-kart tracks, gather ‘round the poker table for a friendly wager, shoot pool with your best pals, pass out snacks from the bar, and chill at the pub table with a few cold ones and your favorite coworkers in the game rooms at Big Forest Retreat. You’ll also find a big screen TV in each space plus a seating area with plush sofas — the perfect place to get away with a small group for a little unwinding time.

Bedrooms
Stylish and comfortable, the bedrooms at your Pigeon Forge vacation rental for large groups leave nothing wanting. Curl up in bed with the latest in your favorite novel series, enjoy bathing in elegant stone showers, and sip morning coffee on the deck with songbird melodies.

A few bedrooms even have direct deck access, bringing the mountain views closer to you. You’ll find a mix of 13 king-size beds, 5 queen-over-queen bunks, 3 queen-size futons, 6 queen-size sleeper sofas, and 4 twin-size sleeper sofas throughout the mountain lodge, accommodating up to 62 guests. There are also 2 half bathrooms in the vacation home.

Outdoor Spaces 
Outdoors is where you’ll want to be at your Pigeon Forge hideaway. Gaze upon the rolling Smokies, cloud watch and stargaze on the sun decks, and rock away your worries and cares in the rocking chairs. Cook out with the charcoal grill and dine at the picnic tables on the main covered deck.

Best of all, slip into the steamy hot tub and soothe tired muscles year-round. Plus, this large group cabin in the Smokies has a flat, paved driveway and a handicap-friendly ramp to the front door that makes loading and unloading the cars much easier, so everyone can head to Anakeesta, Dolly Parton’s Stampede, or The Island without a hassle!

Other Amenities
What else does this luxury cabin in Pigeon Forge have to offer your Smoky Mountain vacation? Along with a handy washer and dryer, complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi, and handicap features, this large group Pigeon Forge cabin is also pet friendly, so you can bring along furry friends! Also, your group can gather at the cabin without stopping at an office — thanks to self-check-in with keyless entry.

Local Fun

Just over 7 miles to the soul of Pigeon Forge fun, Big Forest Retreat boasts a convenient location to keep your large group entertained with Parkway attractions, theme parks, Appalachian eateries, seasonal events, and shops! Plus, you can head into neighboring Gatlinburg, Sevierville, or Wears Valley for more options on your Pigeon Forge vacation.

Let’s not forget the awesome outdoor adventures in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — like hiking to waterfalls, spotting white-tailed deer in Cades Cove, taking scenic routes to picnic areas, dipping your toes into a sparkling river, or unwinding beneath the sun-dappled tree canopy.

Good house for a large gathering. However, the appliances all need updating. One night it rained and water started to drip from ceiling in one of the bedrooms. There are a lot of little things that need to be addressed in the kitchen that will be brought to the attention of the mgmt group.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for the 4-star review and for noting the home worked well for a large gathering. I’m sorry to hear about the ceiling leak and the outdated appliances — that isn’t the experience we want for our guests. We appreciate you bringing the kitchen issues to our management team’s attention; they will inspect the ceiling, address any necessary repairs, and review the appliances and kitchen items you mentioned. Thank you for the feedback, and we hope to host you again.
