Bear Creek Crossing Resort Cabin Rentals

Bear Creek Crossing is a gated log cabin community in the Smoky Mountain foothills, about three miles from Pigeon Forge. It's best known for its resort amenities: a year-round indoor pool, an outdoor pool framed by stone waterfalls and a free putt-putt course, all without any mountain driving to get there.

Why stay at Bear Creek Crossing

A gated community

The gated entrance adds privacy and peace of mind, and the resort's cabins share a relaxed, neighborly feel.

No mountain driving

Bear Creek Crossing sits in the foothills, so you won't face steep, winding roads to reach your cabin. That's a big plus for first-time visitors, larger vehicles and winter trips.

Close to Pigeon Forge

The resort is just outside Pigeon Forge, so Dollywood, the Parkway and the shows are an easy drive away.

Resort amenities

Indoor pool

The heated indoor pool is open year-round, so families can swim in winter just as easily as in July.

Outdoor pool with waterfalls

In summer, the large outdoor pool is the place to be, with stone waterfalls cascading into the water and plenty of room to lounge.

Free putt-putt

The resort's free nine-hole putt-putt course is an easy way to keep kids (and competitive grown-ups) busy between bigger outings.

Clubhouse

Bear Creek Crossing also has a community clubhouse that can be reserved for gatherings, a handy option for reunions and celebrations.
