Newly Updated: GameRoom HotTub Big Mtn Views & ski area w/ free attractions.
Spectacularly renovated in the summer of 2025 with a breathtaking 2-tier, 1,200-square-foot deck and brand new hot tub, "Bears on Skis" is the ideal lodge for those who want the full Smoky Mountain experience in luxury and comfort. Enjoy truly epic views from high above Gatlinburg and also be close to both the National Park and to all the area's fun attractions. Downtown Gatlinburg and the park entrance are both just short drives away; you can hike, play, come home, go for a seasonal swim in one of the nearby Chalet Village pools, and go out again.
In winter, enjoy epic views of the skiers on the slopes of Ober Mountain as well as views of Mount Le Conte and beyond. Acres of trees (especially stunning in the fall), and the Ober tram in the distance. Pools, tennis courts, and clubhouses for summer use are only a five-minute drive away. Wildlife on Ski Mountain is abundant and often seen, making Bears on Skis a fun destination.
Enjoy our new, two-tier deck—perfect for taking in the sweeping mountain views. The deck features all-new furniture, an outdoor bar, gorgeous new deck lighting, a propane grill with fuel provided, and multiple seating areas, including a dining table. You have rarely eaten or spent time with family and friends in such a beautiful setting.
Bears on Skis has ultra-high-speed internet and 7 Roku smart TVs, allowing access to your favorite streaming services. The cabin also provides Spectrum cable with network sports programming available on every TV.
Accommodations include five-bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom with shower and bathtub (a rare find), a smart TV, and cool, Smoky-style decor.
Four bedrooms feature large king beds, dressers, and stunning views; the fifth has a queen-over-queen bunk and is located next to one of the king rooms, making it ideal for families. All four main rooms are roughly the same size and offer comparable mountain views.
The living room features recliner couches, rustic decor (including custom wooden Bear carvings), & a wood-burning fireplace. A second living room with swivel couches (sleeper sofas) for maximum enjoyment of the view and to ensure your group has enough space for everyone. The well-equipped kitchen includes a large fridge/freezer, stove with smooth cooktop, new microwave, new dishwasher, toaster, slow cooker, waffle iron, and both pod & standard coffee makers with a bean grinder.
The game room features pro-quality air hockey, a multicade arcade set on free play, board games, a brand-new foosball table, and a sound table with a charging station and a high-quality speaker for streaming music.
Brand-new flooring has been installed on the top two floors, giving the home a fresh, polished look, and a new roof provides added comfort and peace of mind.
Outside, you'll find the massive deck overlooking the mountains, complete with rockers, loungers, outdoor dining, & coffee tables. A well-placed hot tub allows you to enjoy the view as you soak amid twinkling lights.
Bears on Skis is located on a well-paved & city-maintained road. There will be curves and steep sections as we are in the mountains. The driveway can accommodate 4–5 cars, and you may need to reverse out when exiting.
This beautiful lodge is ideal for anyone who truly wants to experience the heart of Gatlinburg & the glories of the Great Smoky Mountains!
