Don’t forget your sunscreen! - Because Gentle Ben’s Den is located in the Mountain Shadows resort, in the summer you’ll have free access to the resort’s pool. Splash about, then dry off in the sun on a poolside chaise—that’s our idea of an ideal summer da

Unwind in the porch’s hot tub - Nothing feels as pampering after a day of hiking, fishing, or white-water rafting than a soak in a hot tub. Luckily, Gentle Ben’s Den has a hot tub on its screened-in porch.

So warm and welcoming - Towering cathedral ceiling, lustrous wood walls and floors, comfortable custom furnishings, large windows letting in plenty of sunshine: The great room is everything you want in a modern-day log cabin.

All together now - Encompassing a living area, a dining area, and the kitchen, the great room ensures that nobody will be left out of the conversation or miss the big game on TV.

Hit the arcade - It’s tough to say who will appreciate the arcade more: the kids or the adults!

A cozy hangout - Even if you don’t want to shoot pool or play arcade games, you’ll still enjoy hanging out in the downstairs game room. The fireplace is especially inviting on chilly winter evenings.

Game room by day, bedroom by night - The futon in the downstairs game room opens into a bed for two. Given that the room has a fireplace, a pool table, an arcade, and a TV among its amenities, sleeping here definitely isn’t a hardship!

Towels ready and waiting - We’ll supply plenty of clean towels for all three bathrooms, so you can leave yours at home. In fact, you can pack especially light, as Gentle Ben’s Den has its own washer and dryer.

The great outdoors - All three levels have a deck or a porch, so that everyone can revel in the fresh mountain breezes, the singing of wrens and warblers in the morning, and the chirping of tree frogs and whip-poor-wills at night.

Dine on the deck - For a true Smoky Mountain meal, cook some trout—maybe fish you reeled in yourself from a nearby stream—on the deck’s grill, then feast outdoors. Everything tastes better out in the fresh air!

At one with nature - The upper deck is an especially delightful spot for stargazing.

Get rocking - It wouldn’t be a true Smoky Mountain cabin without rocking chairs on the deck. Enjoy your morning coffee or evening cocktail outside among the fresh breezes and the birdsong.

Description

From the outside, Gentle Ben’s Den looks like a typical Smoky Mountain log cabin, albeit a spacious and exceptionally well kept one. Inside, though, the lodge is packed with luxuries, including a Jacuzzi, a pool table, foosball, air hockey, a multi-game arcade, four bedrooms with king-size beds, free Wi-Fi and unlimited long-distance domestic calls.

Each of Gentle Ben’s Den three stories has a deck overlooking the surrounding woodlands. Of course, they have Adirondack chairs and rockers—a Smoky Mountain must!—so that everyone can kick back and admire the kaleidoscopic foliage in autumn and the lush greenery in spring and summer. In addition to the deck, which spans the width of the cabin, the main level has a screened-in porch. Here’s where you’ll find the hot tub, a favorite place to unwind after a day spent hiking or biking in the mountains.

You can access both the screened-in porch and the deck from the main floor’s great room. Many of the wood furnishings were crafted by local artisans specifically for Gentle Ben’s Den, adding to the sense that this is indeed a very special cabin. The living area’s sofas are ideal for gathering with the others to watch a movie on the 50-inch HDTV—there’s premium cable as well as a Blu-ray player—or sip après-ski beverages in the golden glow of the fireplace.

The dining area can seat up to 10 people: eight at the handsome wood table and two more at the breakfast bar. The deck has a bistro table as well, where you can enjoy an alfresco lunch or linger over drinks with friends beneath the starry night sky. Also on the deck is a gas grill, because when the days are long, the breezes are fresh, and the songbirds are putting on a concert, there’s nothing like barbecuing in the open air.

The kitchen of Gentle Ben’s Den is fully equipped to cater to all your other culinary needs. Open and spacious, it features a whole gamut of appliances, from refrigerator/freezer to blender, cookware and tableware. And if cooking isn’t part of your dream vacation, rest assured that scores of restaurants are just a few minutes away.

The primary suite, like the great room, is on the main floor of Gentle Ben’s Den. Like the three other bedrooms, it includes a sumptuous king-size bed and a flat-screen TV. The primary bedroom has a bonus—a private bathroom with a Jacuzzi as well as a shower.

In addition to two bedrooms and a full bathroom, the lower level has one of the lodge’s two game rooms. You can shoot pool here by a fireplace, challenge yourself at the multi-game arcade, play cards at the pub-style table or stretch out on the futon and watch TV. The futon, by the way, opens into a bed for two, as does one of the great room’s sofas, enabling Gentle Ben’s Den to sleep as many as 12 people.

The second game room, on the loft level, includes the air-hockey and foosball tables. The other room up here is another en-suite bedroom. Sleeping up here is a bit like staying in a deluxe treehouse.

Gentle Ben’s Den is located in Gatlinburg’s Mountain Shadow resort. In summer you can swim in the resort’s outdoor pool and lounge on its poolside patio. Year-round, the kids can have a blast in the resort’s playground. Just as important, the resort is only a hop, skip and jump from numerous attractions. You can drive to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in 10 minutes. Downtown Gatlinburg is equally close. Once there, you can explore Ripley’s Aquarium of the Smokies, the Anakeesta outdoor entertainment complex, shops, arcades, amusement centers and more.

One thing’s for certain—when you stay at Gentle Ben’s Den, you’ll never be bored! Book your reservation today and get ready to make memories that will last a lifetime.
