With three en-suite primary bedrooms, Cub’s Corner is ideal for a multi-couple or multi-family vacation. The serene setting, surrounded by trees and looking out toward the Great Smoky Mountains, also makes the log cabin a quiet respite at the end of an action-packed day of skiing, hiking, or checking out every ride of nearby Dollywood.

Cub’s Corner has two large covered decks where you can kick back on rockers and watch falcons and eagles glide above the mountaintops. There’s a picnic table as well. At least once during your stay, you might want to time dinner so that you can marvel at the sunset as you’re enjoying your meal; barbecue some fresh-caught trout on the charcoal grill to make it a true Smoky Mountain experience. Then once the stars are out, luxuriate in the deck’s hot tub as the crisp breeze rustles through the trees—sheer bliss!

The laid-back mood continues indoors. The great room, with its towering vaulted ceiling, wood-planked walls and floors, and large windows, invites you to kick off your shoes, stretch out, and spend quality time with family and friends. Gather by the fireplace for an après-ski drink, or unwind after a rigorous afternoon of white-water rafting by watching a movie on the 46” flat-panel TV with satellite channels and a DVD player; you’ll even find a library of movies to choose from.

If you don’t want to dine on the deck, settle down for a meal at the dining area’s table, which seats six comfortably. The kitchen has all the appliances, gadgets, cookware, and tableware you’ll need to prepare a feast—as well as a dishwasher because nobody wants to scrub plates while on vacation.

After dinner, head downstairs to the game room’s full-size billiard table. If you’ve never played, here’s your chance to learn among friends. And if pool’s just not your game, you can play checkers or cards at the game table or watch your favorite TV programs; the game room has its own 46” flat-panel TV with DVD player.

When you’re finally ready to turn in, you’ll be delighted by how pampering and peaceful all three bedrooms are. There’s one bedroom on each floor, and all three include a luxurious king-size bed, a flat-panel TV with DVD player, a ceiling fan to lull you to sleep, and a full bathroom. With a bathroom for each bedroom, mornings will be so much less hectic!

If you have additional guests, one of the great room’s sofas opens into a bed for two. The same goes for the game room’s sofa. In all, Cub’s Corner can sleep ten guests without people having to cram four or six to a room. This way, everyone is certain to get a great night’s sleep—and given how much there is to see and do in the area, you’ll want to wake well rested so that you can make the most of each day.

Because Cub’s Corner is part of the 43-acre Black Bear Falls Log Home Community, when you stay here in the summer you’ll have free access to its two heated outdoor swimming pools, one for adults and one for kids. What’s more, the attractions of downtown Gatlinburg—restaurants and breweries, an aquarium and a two-floor arcade among them—are less than ten minutes away by car. Also conveniently close are Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area; the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop, an 8-mile trail of more than 100 studios, galleries, and shops; and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park—here’s your chance to see why it’s the most popular national park in the country.

No matter how you spend your days, you’ll relish returning to the quiet pleasures of Cub’s Corner in the evenings. Of course, you might enjoy relaxing in the cabin during the day as well—what with the hot tub, the pool table, the free WiFi, and the beautiful woodlands, there’s plenty to keep you entertained. But don’t just take our word for it: Book your stay today, and experience it for yourself!
