Splash at the Creek, roast marshmallows & play ping-pong together – Wade 'N Bear

Shop at The Island, roll around Outdoor Gravity Park, and enjoy supper with a show at Paula Deen's Lumberjack Feud before slipping away to your creekside cabin hideaway! Just under 7 miles from Parkway fun, Wade 'N Bear keeps you close to family-friendly activities while tucked away in a wooded setting. Take in the fresh Smoky Mountain air while sipping wine in a rocking chair, light the gas grill for a cookout, and make s'mores at the firepit at this charming Pigeon Forge cabin on Waldens Creek.

In warmer months, walk down to the shallow creek to wade and play with the whole family. With creek and tree-studded vistas year-round plus a private bridge over the creek that leads to a party barn, it's a nature-riffic retreat. Inside this 3-bedroom, 2-bathroom cabin in the Smokies, continue the good times — with rounds at the ping-pong table, board game nights, and chats by the electric (heated) or gas fireplaces. Grab popcorn and treats from the fully equipped kitchen and settle in for movie nights; you can even split the group between 2 big screen TVs in the vacation home so everyone can watch what they want.

After a full day of excitement and adventure, it's time to kick back and relax at your cozy Pigeon Forge cabin rental. With accommodations for up to 8 guests, your family or friends can spread out in a mix of 2 queen beds, 1 full bed, 1 twin bed, 1 twin bed with a trundle, and 1 sleeper sofa. Each bedroom also has its own TV. Additional conveniences include high-speed Wi-Fi, a washer/dryer, and keyless entry for simple self-check-in and checkout — without stopping at an office!

• Driving along flat, paved roads, you'll come to a flat, gravel driveway that ends at the party barn, a separate building from the main vacation home. Parking is available for up to 6 vehicles: room for a trailer. There is only 1 step up to reach the sprawling deck and party barn entrance. You'll need to cross the property's private bridge to reach the main cabin.

• Note the 2 bedrooms upstairs have open sections to the loft; while there are doors to close off these spaces, please keep in mind they are not totally private.

• This waterfront cabin has a standby Generac generator, so you won't have to worry about power loss even in fierce weather.
