(0)It's a Wonderful Life
Location: Pigeon Forge, Tennessee
Area: Bear Creek Crossing
Description
With entertaining indoor and outdoor amenities, this Pigeon Forge abode with a traditional log look will make you fall in love with the cabin lifestyle. From watching movies on the big screen TV and playing arcade games until dawn to sipping morning coffee with a mountain view and relaxing in the open-air hot tub — It’s a Wonderful Life! Sleeping up to 12 guests, this 3-floor, 4-bedroom, 4 ½-bathroom cabin in the Smokies was made for cherished memories with family and friends.
Living Room
Step into the inviting living space just off the front door — complete with a comfy queen sleeper sofa and 3 arm chairs. Pop a fantasy favorite in the DVD player and watch the story unfold on the big screen TV, play a few rounds with your prized poker set on the round table with 4 matching chairs, and enjoy family chats with a nice drink and a beautiful fire in the electric fireplace. On summer days, continue to enjoy the lovely views of nature from the large windows while the ceiling fan keeps everyone cool.
Kitchen
Venture to the kitchen for homemade meals, restaurant leftovers, midnight snacks, and cool drinks. Fully equipped with essential appliances, pots and pans, coffee mugs, silverware, dishware, and more, this kitchen makes mealtimes a breeze. For breakfast, make fried eggs on the electric griddle and toast in the toaster to go with your Colombian blend from the coffeemaker. Whip up something fresh from the fridge for lunch, and take dinner up a notch with your great grandmother’s secret recipe on the stove or in the oven. At the end of the evening feast, start the dishwasher before heading to town to check out the Pigeon Forge nightlife, or head to Gatlinburg to take on the Mysterious Mansion — we double dare you!
Dining Area
Serving meals won’t be a hassle at this Smoky Mountain cabin, as the dining area is conveniently located right off the kitchen. Chow down on scrumptious suppers at the large wooden table for 8 — cushioned chairs and all! As a fun dinner activity, encourage each person around the table to share their favorite part of the vacation thus far. Pro tip: get the teens involved by asking to see photos and videos they’ve gathered throughout the day; their phones are always close by...
Rec Room
Featuring a rec room of dreams, boredom will be a thing of the past! Wipe out the high scores on the arcade unit (60 classic games to choose from), show your buds who’s boss at pool, and challenge your best friends on the XBOX 360 video game system (games/controllers provided). After the pajamas are on and the popcorn is popped (in the rec room kitchenette), have a seat on the queen sleeper sofa, arm chair, or 4 theater seats for an epic movie night on the big screen TV! Can’t decide on a film? Take inspiration from the wall posters nearby — modern Disney features, Harry Potter flicks, and the Star Wars saga are great places to start! When the kids have gone to bed, set out a few cocktails on the table, get a fire going in the fireplace, and catch up on the latest gossip.
Bedrooms
Located on the second floor, the master suite boasts a fireplace, an open bathtub — with massaging jets — and a his-and-her vanity and walk-in shower in the en-suite bathroom. After a bubble bath in the jetted tub, watch a romantic comedy on the flatscreen TV while cuddling in the king-size bed with your spouse. Though the master suite may have its own jetted tub and a Blu-ray player, the 3 other bedrooms in this home come well equipped with a flatscreen TV, en-suite bathroom, wall mirror, and a king-size bed! Enjoy a relaxing, hot shower and a good laugh at a classic sitcom before heading to dream world each night.
Outdoor Spaces
With convenience in mind, this Smoky Mountain home features 5 paved parking spaces (motorcycle friendly). Spend time with the family on the spacious decks by throwing a barbecue party with the gas grill — there’s even a picnic table nearby to keep the glorious mountain views close. Unwind in the outdoor hot tub in the evenings and relax with herbal tea in the rocking chairs or porch swings in the mornings. Worried about the little ones escaping from the entry-level deck? The main deck has been enclosed to offer an extra safety measure while you play outside with the littles!
Other Amenities
As part of the Bear Creek Crossing community, It’s a Wonderful Life provides free access to both an indoor and outdoor pool! As a bonus, this cabin comes with a washer and dryer and even an ironing board, providing the option to pack light. Need to keep up with emails or social media accounts? Not to worry, complimentary Wi-Fi is yours for the taking. If you’re looking for an exciting way to end the day, host a dance party with the provided CD player and shake your groove thang until the sun comes up!
