Description

Kick off your creekside getaway in the Great Smoky Mountains in the party barn at Wade ‘N Bear! Loaded with 2 big screen TVs, a bar area, wine fridge, and sprawling deck overlooking Waldens Creek, it’s a fun place to hang out or cast a line to practice for the Smoky Mountain Trout Tournament. Walking across the private bridge to the main Pigeon Forge cabin, you’ll find the comforts of home, more great outdoor spaces, and accommodations for up to 8 guests — ideal for family vacations or group trips with friends.

Creek views and wooded surroundings create a beautiful mountain retreat — featuring a gazebo with a gas grill, rocking chairs, a bubbling hot tub, and access to walk right down to the water’s edge. Wade and play after a day of shopping, wining, and exploring family-friendly attractions in downtown Pigeon Forge just 15 minutes away! For more fun at this creekside cabin in the Smokies, stargaze while sitting at the firepit, set up ping-pong for the kids, sip coffee on the screened porch, chat in the sitting loft, and read novels by the stone fireplace.

Cute and calm, this Pigeon Forge cabin rental offers a peaceful and relaxing place to stay in Tennessee. Along with charming Appalachian decor, conveniences include speedy Wi-Fi, a ramp from the front parking area, a full kitchen, a dual coffeemaker, 3 bedrooms, 2 walk-in showers, and a private balcony overlooking rhododendrons that flower in warmer seasons. Enjoy a memorable cabin-on-a-creek experience at Wade ‘N Bear!

Living Room + Loft
When you’re not hiking trails to waterfalls, riding roller coasters at Dollywood, or checking out events in Pigeon Forge, unwind in the inviting living room at your cozy cabin in Pigeon Forge, TN. A beckoning gas fireplace encased in stones sets the mountain mood with ease, the perfect setting for cocoa sips and intimate chats in the recliners.

Upstairs, you’ll find even more space to spread out and relax after a day of splashing and playing in the creek. In the sitting loft, sofas welcome you to kick back for a spell, preferably with a good book in hand or a friend by your side.

Kitchen
Cook meals, grab quick snacks, or prepare midnight feasts in the fully equipped kitchen at your Pigeon Forge vacation home. Stock the large refrigerator with treats and fresh ingredients for favorite recipes. Stew dinner, bake cookies, and prepare coffee with the dual coffeemaker for single cups and pots of joe. Bonus: there’s a pass-through to the living room and a window overlooking the creek!

Dining Area
Ready to dine with loved ones at your log cabin? A dining table with a lovely tabletop offers space to set up for mealtimes together. Additional space can be found on the deck just here or in the living room. Nestled beside the kitchen, it’s a convenient space to serve breakfast, enjoy lunch, or chat over dinner.

Party Barn — Rec Room
For more fun on your Pigeon Forge vacation, this Smoky Mountain cabin on a creek features a separate rec room — aka the party barn! Outside, host barbecues, roast marshmallows, play ping-pong, and pass homemade ice cream through the pass-through (opened by a classic crank and pulley system).

Next, head inside for board games, drinks at the bar, snacks from the full-size fridge and mini fridge. For more fun, switch on the 2 big screen TVs and crash on the massive sectional for a while. It’s a great place to kick back and relax after ziplining, whitewater rafting, or horseback riding in the Smokies.

Bedrooms
When it’s time to rest and recharge, this 3-bedroom cabin delivers — with a mix of 2 queen-size beds, 1 full-size bed, 1 twin-size daybed with a trundle, and 1 twin-size sleeper sofa. Each bedroom has its own TV for added entertainment, and the main upstairs bedroom has a private balcony overlooking the creek, trees, and seasonal blossoms.

For added convenience, there are 2 full bathrooms with walk-in showers, making your stay in the Smokies more comfortable.

Outdoor Spaces
From vibrant wildflowers and lush trees to colorful leaves and enchanting snowflakes, seasonal views enhance your Smoky Mountain getaway at this Pigeon Forge cabin rental on Waldens Creek. Shallow and clear, the creek is picturesque year-round. Plus, having access to both sides of the creek grants you a chance to wade through the water — adding to your spring or summer fun in Pigeon Forge!

At this unique location, you’ll have several outdoor spaces to take it all in. Start at the party barn’s expansive deck, swaying in the rocking chairs overlooking the sparkling creek, lighting the charcoal, picnic-style grill for lunch, or making s’mores at the firepit. There’s even a manual crank to open a part of the outbuilding, so you can pass snacks and drinks whenever you want.

Outdoor lights illuminate the inviting outdoor spaces, and the private bridge leads to the main hideaway — with a screened porch, open deck, steamy hot tub, and gazebo with a gas grill. Psst…before heading to the other side of the bridge, make a wish on the heart-shaped stone!

Other Amenities
Add convenience to your Smoky Mountain vacation with a stacked washer and dryer to reuse provided towels after wading in the creek, high-speed Wi-Fi to stay connected, and self-check-in with keyless entry. This Pigeon Forge vacation rental also has a standby Generac generator, so you don’t have to worry about power loss in poor weather conditions.

While not ADA compliant for wheelchair use, there is a ramp near the front parking area plus a bedroom and a walk-in shower with a small step to enter on the entry level.

Whether you're looking for family-friendly entertainment, outdoor excursions, or a taste of local culture, there's something for everyone in the Great Smoky Mountains. From thrilling attractions to scenic escapes, your getaway promises excitement and relaxation in equal measure.

Just beyond the city lights, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park invites you to explore its winding trails, cascading waterfalls, and breathtaking overlooks. Escape the crowds and venture into Wears Valley, a hidden gem offering horseback riding, off-the-beaten-path hikes, and local artisans. Or take a short drive to Sevierville and Gatlinburg, where more adventures await — from ziplining through the treetops to sampling local moonshine and handmade fudge.

Important Information
Driving along flat, paved roads, you’ll come to a flat, gravel driveway that ends at the party barn, a separate building from the main vacation home. Parking is available for up to 6 vehicles: room for a trailer. There is a ramp to reach the sprawling deck and party barn entrance. You’ll need to cross the property’s private bridge to reach the main cabin.

Note the 2 bedrooms upstairs have open sections to the loft; while there are doors to close off these spaces, please keep in mind they are not totally private.

We enjoyed our stay. It would be nice to have a tv in the main living room. Also, the creek just about dried up on us during our stay. Would stay again!!

Our stay was great. The cabin was beautifully located next to a stream and was ideal. Super peaceful and close enough to the city to make daily trips, but far enough away to have peace and quiet.
Donna
Loved the cozy feel especially the fireplace!! Wish we had time to use the hot tub as it looked very inviting! It was so quiet and peaceful there! Would love to go back again

A wonderful get away not far from activities. The cabin was very private and secluded so we were able to completely relax. Cabin gets a little warm at night but the mountains are cool so opening a window helps. Make sure to take water shoes and bandaids for playing in the creek. The rocks are slippery but the creek is super fun.
Response from Cabins for You
Lauren, thank you for staying at Wade 'N Bear and for the thoughtful review. I'm glad you were able to relax in the cabin's privacy and that opening a window helped with the nighttime warmth. Thank you for the helpful tip about water shoes and band-aids for the creek, great advice for future guests. We’d love to host you again. Thank you, Cabins For You

Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for the five-star review! Glad you enjoyed your stay. We appreciate the suggestion about adding a TV in the main living room and have passed it along to the owner for consideration. Sorry the creek ran low during your visit, water levels can be seasonal. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we look forward to welcoming you back. Cabins for You

Couldn’t watch any tv due to WiFi so if u have small kids that
Needs to watch tv they will not be doing it at this cabin it is a nice cabin and it is very beautiful location close to everything but still private
Response from Cabins for You
Jennifer — thank you for the feedback. I’m glad you found the cabin beautiful, private, and well‑located. I’m sorry you couldn’t watch TV because of the Wi‑Fi — that’s not the experience we want for families.
I wish you would have called or messaged us, we could have helped get the Wi-fi operating. The only room it doesn't work in is the game room. Next time, please call or message us so we can assist you.

The cabin was wonderful-clean, cozy, comfortable, and quiet. Our family thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We watched sports on the big TVs, played ping pong, and loved the hot tub and the sounds of the stream. We would definitely recommend the Wade n Bear and would stay there again.

This is an amazing find! We have been coming to Piegin Forge the weekend before Thanksgiving with our family for 10 years and this is one of our all time favorites! It is such a unique find with a large separate house staged as a game/party/ movie “hangout” space. The main cabin is beautiful and so clean. Plenty of places to sleep and spend time. The porches provided wonderful space to enjoy the beautiful nature around you. Our children loved playing in and around the creak and the sound of the creak was amazing!

PERFECTION

We enjoy booking homes that have features to offer with short drives to fun things. This place was perfect. An hour drive to white water rafting, minutes away from the mountain coaster, and minutes away from Dollywood. We grilled all of our meals at the house, hung out in the creek in the afternoons, and built fires in the evenings. We had a scary movie night in the party house with the kids, played ping pong until the moment we loaded the truck to leave, and walked the beautiful, quiet mountain drive. No traffic, no noise, just nature. It was a perfect vacation.
Response from Cabins for You
We’re so thrilled to hear you enjoyed the mix of adventure and relaxation! It’s wonderful that you could grill, play games, and unwind by the creek while soaking in the peaceful mountain surroundings. Knowing the kids had a blast with movie and ping pong nights truly warms us. We happily appreciate you sharing such a joyful experience and hope your next getaway is just as memorable.

This cabin is a real gem. Cozy, private, and comfortable. The stream and ping-pong table were perfect for the kids and the grown-ups loved relaxing on the deck(s). The place was so special that it felt like a destination in and of itself - such a perfect place to end a busy day in the National Park or Gatlinburg. Close to everything but still felt very private. Tons of natural beauty. We didn't want to leave!
Response from Cabins for You
Thanks so much for sharing such thoughtful words—it means a lot to us. It genuinely makes us happy knowing the cabin felt like its own little retreat for your family. Hearing that both the kids and adults found their own kind of fun really brightened our day. We’d love to welcome you back anytime you need a peaceful escape.

Perfect Family Home away from home

We had the best stay at Wade ‘N Bear cabin! It was so beautiful and peaceful. The kids had epic ping pong tournaments and hubby and I loved relaxing on the porch sipping coffee and listening to the creek. Very Family Friendly!
Response from Cabins for You
We absolutely love hearing that your family had such a great time at Wade ‘N Bear! It sounds like the ping pong tournaments and peaceful mornings by the creek made some special memories. We're so glad it felt relaxing and family friendly—that means a lot to us. We truly appreciate you choosing to stay with us. Hope you'll come back and make even more creekside memories soon!

Perfect retreat for family

Pictures don't do this place justice. The walking bridge to get to the home is great. We loved all the decked area to enjoy sitting listening to the creek. The creek and ping pong table kept the kids occupied. Our family really loved this place. It was also convenient to Pigeon Forge.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you so much for sharing how much your family enjoyed the peaceful decks and the fun ping pong time by the creek. It’s wonderful to hear the walking bridge and nearby Pigeon Forge added to your memorable stay. We truly appreciate your kind words and are delighted this spot brought such joy to everyone. Looking forward to welcoming you all back for more relaxing moments soon!

So great we didn’t want to leave and already thinking about our next trip. Absolutely great cabin and an amazing Smokey Mountain experience. We have traveled the world with Airbnb rentals and this was hands down one of the best. Only thing that could make this place perfect would be a hot tub but not at all a deal breaker. Still as close to perfect experience as you can get! Already planning the next trip and staying here again!
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Christian! It’s amazing to hear that your time in the Smoky Mountains was so memorable, and we’re thrilled that the cabin exceeded your expectations. We completely understand how a hot tub would make it even better, and we’ll definitely take that into consideration for the future. Your plans to return mean the world to us, and we can’t wait to welcome you back for another wonderful stay. We appreciate you taking the time to let us know how much you enjoyed it!
