The Playful Bear is a beautifully decorated 3-bedroom, 3 bathroom cabin just a mile from the parkway in Pigeon Forge. This cabin has been lovingly reimagined and decorated in earthy tones and textures like stacked stone, hardwood floors, and rustic barnwood walls to create a modern rustic mountain lodge, with a few fun (and playful!) surprises. Every piece of furniture and décor is new, including many one-of-a-kind items handmade by local craftsmen. With beds for twelve, and a dedicated game room and theater space, there is something for everyone.
Just inside the door of The Playful Bear you will find a completely new kitchen with hickory cabinets, leathered granite countertops, a large farmhouse sink, a stacked stone island and backsplash, new appliances, and everything you need to whip up something good to eat. The kitchen opens to the dining area with a vaulted ceiling featuring rustic rough sawn beams and a large table that seats 8+ people. With four swivel stools at the counter, everyone has a spot to sit and gather for meals, conversation, and games. Beyond the dining area the vaulted ceiling and beams continue through the main living room which offers a gas fireplace, custom tables crafted from 100-year-old barnwood and logs, a large TV, plenty of seating options, and a cabinet filled with games and books for all ages. Walk through the living space and out onto the open deck with peekaboo mountain views, a beautiful spot to enjoy a mug of coffee in the morning or a glass of wine in the evening as you watch the sun set on the horizon.
The Playful Bear offers three king bedrooms plus another fun sleeping area. The two spacious bedrooms on this level are each furnished with new mattresses, cozy cotton quilts, nightstands, a large dresser and mirror, a TV, and each has their own attached bathroom with a handmade log vanity. One offers a double jetted tub and the other offers direct access to the back deck. The third bedroom is on the lower level, offers a king bed and new mattress topped with a cozy quilt, two handmade log nightstands, a TV, a large dresser, and a brand new bathroom just down the hall.
Another sleeping space on the lower level is the Bear's Den, which is sure to capture the hearts of your little ones! The Bear's Den is accessed through a barn door in the lower-level king bedroom and has two sets of triple bunks on each side. Each bunk has its own reading light as well as a wooden shelf and charging outlet right next to it. This might well be the best place to sleep in the cabin, but remember...don't wake the bear!!
On the lower level the rustic vibe of The Playful Bear continues but becomes a bit more colorful as you enter the phenomenal game room and theater space. It's this space that inspired the cabin's name! It will be Game On as you go head-to-head on the shuffleboard table, giant size wall mounted Connect Four game, PacMan cocktail arcade table, or play a game of Tempest, Astroids, or another challenge at the Atari Multicade. Keep track of your team on the wall mounted TV or try a game of checkers at the table.
Just beyond the game room is the theater space where you can use the projector to stream your favorite movie. Settle in to authentic movie theater seating, relax in a bean bag chair, or perch on a stool at the bar top as you enjoy popcorn or a drink from the snack bar. You can close the room darkening curtains for a true movie theater experience or keep them open to the game room - it's up to you! The covered porch can be accessed from either the game room or theater space, and its string lights, porch swing for two, bistro table, TV, and inviting hot tub can even be enjoyed in the rain since there is a metal roof above it.
