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, 8 queen-size futons, 3 twin-size sleeper sofas, and 3 queen-size sleeper sofas throughout the mountain lodge, accommodating up to 71 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!

    Verified guest on 08/26/2022

  • "Bartow Krawlers Rented Big Forest Retreat this past weekend for Jeep Invasion! We had a total of 35 adults in this beautiful Cabin. It was decorated to the 9’s with beautiful View from the large back decks. The Pool, hot tub and game room was an awesome bonus. Cabins for you was awesome to work with and made it so easy with such a large group! We will definitely be renting from them next year! Highly recommend the beautiful Big Forest Retreat if you have a large group!"

  • "Beautiful house that’s 15 minutes from Pigeon Forge."

  • "Highly recommend this house for a big group. Great location, beautiful view, and a ton of space!"

  • "Great place!! Wonderful views. The small problems we reported were fixed same day!! Close enough to plenty of restaurants and shopping! Recommended."

  • "Stayed at big forest retreat.! Party of like 24+ . Cabin was clean & very spacious . We all loved it .! View was also amazing .!"

  • "We had over 30 guests and there was plenty of room for everyone! We didn’t feel crowded at all !"

  • "The cabin was spotless. My family really enjoyed it. We had plenty of space for the 45 family members. The children really enjoyed the pool. This was most definitely a 5 Star cabin. Cabins For You (Big Forest Retreat)-- you rock. We will be back."

  • "My family and I (a group of about 30 cousins) all stayed at this one house. It was spacious, very clean when we got there, and perfectly as described! And about 15 minutes from the touristy strip in Tennessee with plenty to do! An overall very pleasant trip!"

  • "The Clean that it Is And The Jouse Was Decorated For Christmas is Really Nice."

  • "I enjoyed myself spending time with my family and friends and we say can't wait to see y'all next year because everyone was just loving and they welcome us and anything we needed they were right there and we say thank you for everything and God bless y'all and we will keep y'all in our prayers and thoughts ❤️❤️"

  • "This cabin was very accommodating! It is PERFECT for a large group. The management were in touch as needed. It was very clean and comfortable. There are many large and spacious areas for group gathering, and then the bedrooms were not cramped, most having an additional sofa bed or futon. Each bedroom had its own bathroom. Shopping, dining, activities were close and easy to find."

  • "This cabin was AMAZING! There was plenty of room for a large group. The beds were comfortable. It was well stocked with sheets, towels , dish washer tablets, garbage bags, toilet paper, etc. We will be back!"

  • "The cabin was very spacious and accommodated our large group well. Each bedroom had a full bathroom and the beds were comfortable. It was convenient having two dishwashers and two refrigerators but one of the dishwashers stopped working halfway through our stay. The upstairs AC stopped working too which made it way too hot to sleep upstairs comfortably."

  • "Great place for a corporate retreat. Room for everyone on our management team to have privacy and then come together for goal setting and team-building. Wonderful, comfortable facility."
