Bear's Eye View
Where you'll be
Description
In the main floor’s great room, a double-height wall of windows looks out onto the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you’re on one of the plush sofas watching a game on the 60-inch flat-screen TV, nestled in an armchair by the stacked-stone fireplace reading, or eating at the dining table, you can gaze out at the spectacular scenery.
You can do the same while playing pool or video games in the upstairs game room. Along with a full-size billiard table and a fifty-game arcade, the room has a flat-screen TV and a pub table perfect for playing cards or checkers. Two walls of windows will have you feeling as if you’re in a treehouse—albeit an exceptionally luxurious one!
The downstairs den is another room where you can admire the mountains while snug indoors. You’ll find the air-hockey table here, along with another flat-panel TV and another gas fireplace, which you’ll especially appreciate when you return from a day of skiing or snowshoeing.
To truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, however, you want to be outside in the fresh air, listening to the wrens and warblers during the day and the whip-poor-wills and owls at night. Bear’s Eye View has two decks, complete with rockers and Adirondack chairs, that span the width of the lodge. The lower deck offers an even more luxurious way to soak up the surroundings: while soaking in the hot tub, which can accommodate up to seven people at once. Whether you’re watching falcons soaring over the mountains or pointing out constellations in the night sky, doing so among the steamy jets of water makes the moment even more magical.
You can cook and eat outdoors as well. Bear’s Eye View has two charcoal grills and two picnic tables. There’s nothing like a side order of sunshine and a crisp mountain breeze to transform even humble hot dogs and hamburgers into a feast.
Of course, you can channel your inner chef indoors as well, in the open, spacious and fully equipped kitchen. Along with appliances, cookware and tableware galore, you’ll find plenty of counter space and elbow room. You can serve your feast at the great room’s dining table, which seats 10. If you need additional seating, the adjacent breakfast bar seats another four.
After dinner, if you don’t want to shoot pool, play video games or air hockey, play music on Bose System or laze in the hot tub, head downstairs to the home theater and watch a DVD on the high definition projector with a 120-inch screen, surround sound and an extensive movie library. Not only is the screen huge, but the stadium-style seating is so comfortable! You may never want to go to your local movie theater again. There's also a karaoke machine with two microphones and a docking station for all your electronics!
All four bedrooms have their own bathroom and TV. The upstairs bedroom includes a queen-size bed, while the other three feature king-size beds. What’s more, sofas in the game room, the great room and the den open into beds for two, so that Bear’s Eye View can sleep 14 people in all.
If you can tear yourself away from the amenities and amusements of Bear’s Eye View, you’ll appreciate its proximity to the area’s attractions. Downtown Gatlinburg has restaurants, breweries, an aquarium, mini golf and more. Just 10 minutes away is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Also nearby are Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area and the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop.
One thing’s for certain—when you stay at Bear’s Eye View, you’ll never be bored. So book your stay today, and get ready for what might be your most exhilarating vacation yet.

+ location size maintenance was very prompt and knowledgeable although could not resolve some issues. interior and exterior were beautiful overall we enjoyed our family trip - way too many remote controls for tv/theater room/satellite and also could not get satellite to work in 3 rooms. smell of pet urine was fairly strong. air hockey game and other donkey Kong/pac man game did not work. two jets on one side of hot tub did not work. does need a new cover as well maintenance was unable to fix satellite issues nor air hockey. did not use hot tub until last night there so we were not aware of issue. price was high considering issues we had

We were very happy with our stay. The house was comfortable, clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We used the pool table, theater and hot tub, and everything was in good working order. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking Gatlinburg though we were high enough that there was no noise and very little light pollution. We were close enough to Gatlinburg that driving in for dinner was convenient. The road to the house could be a little interesting, especially at night. Driving a Jeep was definitely easier than an F-150. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the lampshade in the upstairs bedroom had many unknown stains on it and the toilet in the master bedroom ran the last night we were there. Very minor complaints. We were very happy with our stay.
