Bear Rug Inn | Luxe Stays + Pool, Views, Game Room

Step into Bear Rug Inn, where modern luxury meets mountain serenity in this 5100 sq ft. home as awe-inspiring as its panoramic views. Nestled just a short drive outside Pigeon Forge (you can even see views of Dollywood lit up at night), this newly constructed five-bedroom retreat is the ultimate destination for groups seeking a one-of-a-kind luxury experience in the Smoky Mountains.

Every detail at Bear Rug Inn has been meticulously curated for exclusivity and relaxation. The expansive deck, outfitted with outdoor seating, a gas fire pit, and an 8-seat hot tub, serves as your gateway to the breathtaking vistas. Whether you're dining al fresco at the outdoor banquet table, grilling up your favorites on the deluxe gas grill, or baking pizzas in the gas-fired oven, you'll enjoy unforgettable meals paired with views that stretch endlessly across the horizon.

Inside, the home's soaring vaulted ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows immerse you in nature while surrounding you with high-end finishes and comforts. The living room, featuring a cozy gas fireplace and flat-screen TV, flows into an elegant dining area illuminated by a stunning elk chandelier.

The adjacent gourmet chef's kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances and everything your group will need to prepare and enjoy picture-worthy meals, complete with a sitting and serving bar that opens directly onto the deck.

Bear Rug Inn's unparalleled entertainment options make it a destination in itself. Escape to the custom-designed game room, where you'll find professional-grade arcade games, from 8-man Pac-Man Battle Royale, dual Jurassic Park, Dual Fast and Furious Driving to Golden Tee PGA Tour, alongside a pool table, shuffleboard, and lounge seating.

The indoor pool and viewing deck, with windows that open garage-door style, let you soak in the mountain air while enjoying a swim or a sunset cocktail from the wet bar. Bring your goggles to enjoy views of the underwater window, which allows you to see panoramic views.

Your group will sleep in the lap of luxury in one of five beautifully appointed bedrooms, including four king suites, each with its own electric fireplace, 55" television, and custom-designed en-suite bathroom featuring rain heads, body sprays, and wet rooms with soaker tubs. Whiskey-barrel vanities and bespoke details make every suite unique, offering the ultimate blend of comfort and style.

The one-of-a-kind, artist-designed gas-burning whiskey firepit adds a touch of rustic elegance. It is ideal for evenings under the stars, with a backdrop of seasonal fireworks lighting up the night sky.

From sunrise to sunset, Bear Rug Inn captures the magic of the Smoky Mountains like no other. Perfectly blending high-end luxury with the untamed beauty of nature, this home is more than a stay---it's an unforgettable experience designed for those who seek the extraordinary.
