Big Bear Cove | Hot Tub, Game Room, Fireplace + Smoky Mtn Views

Welcome to Big Bear Cove by AvantStay!

Perched above the treetops in Sevierville’s scenic backcountry, Big Bear Cove is a classic log cabin reimagined for modern mountain escapes. Just a short drive from the heart of Pigeon Forge and the thrills of Dollywood, this secluded home blends rustic charm with everything you need for memory-making with friends and family.

Step onto the expansive wraparound deck and take in the panoramic Smoky Mountain views. Whether you're soaking in the bubbling hot tub, gathered by the crackling outdoor fireplace, or rocking gently in the chairs with a morning coffee in hand, this space is designed to reconnect you with nature and each other.

Inside, warm wood-paneled interiors and vaulted ceilings frame an open-concept great room where a stone fireplace and cozy leather seating invite you to slow down. Upstairs, a lofted game lounge with a poker table and sleeper sofas keeps the fun going, while downstairs, a red-felt pool table brings out everyone’s competitive streak.

The fully equipped kitchen features granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and seating for nine across the dining table and island — perfect for shared meals and late-night snacks. Each of the three king bedrooms comes with a private ensuite bathroom complete with a walk-in shower and soaking tub, making sure everyone in your group gets their own moment of luxury.

With space for up to 10 guests, board games on the shelf, a washer/dryer for convenience, and cozy nooks inside and out, Big Bear Cove is everything a mountain getaway should be — peaceful, playful, and perfectly placed in the heart of the Smokies.

AvantStay provides an upscale experience with services that elevate your stay and save time so you can enjoy every moment. Guests have access to a 24/7 support team and a tech-enabled concierge to book services, such as fridge stocking, mid-stay cleanings, and private chefs. For anything you need (or never knew you needed), we’re at your service!

If you love spending time in nature, staying active, and celebrating wildlife, a trip to the Great Smoky Mountains is a must. Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. The ancient mountains invite you to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
