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.
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.
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.
From Bear Creek Crossing, it's a quick drive to Dollywood, The Island in Pigeon Forge and the attractions, dinner shows and restaurants along the Parkway. Gatlinburg and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park are an easy day trip. Plan your days with our guides to Pigeon Forge attractions and Pigeon Forge restaurants.

Plan around the outdoor pool season
The outdoor pool is open in summer, roughly Memorial Day through Labor Day, while the indoor pool stays open all year.
