About this house rental

An extremely rare find, right in the heart of Gatlinburg, this custom built lodge was designed by Hubert Bebb. Architect Hubert Bebb was a former student of the famous architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. Mr. Bebb is best known for his architectural design of Clingmans Dome where President Franklin D. Roosevelt held the dedication of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The lodge was custom built for a family of Gatlinburg's early entrepreneurs. The location of the lodge is due to the family-owned hotel (GateWay to the Smokies) located directly on the strip in Gatlinburg before entering into the National Park. Afterwards, the lodge became Gatlinburg's finest B&B and is now open for nightly rental.

The location is perfect for walking directly to the main strip (.03) or simply having your own access to the National Park within walking distance (.05). No need to worry about finding a parking space and no need to worry about traffic. It's unbelievable to have access to both of these locations within less than half a mile. This location is also conveniently accessible to Pigeon Forge via the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Although having the convenience of the location is important, the lodge itself offers numerous amenities. It is handicap accessible. The lodge is all on one level with large hallways and oversized bedrooms making it enjoyable for everyone. Another rare amenity, the lodge sits on a wide level piece of property and a privacy fence throughout its entirety. It offers plenty of flat, paved parking. No need to worry about the elements of the weather outdoors because it also includes an attached carport leading directly into the lodge.

One great amenity the lodge has to offer is the stunning mountain views while still located right in town! There are views of Anakeesta, the city lights of Gatlinburg and the lights of Ober. It has outside living with chaise lounges, dining, tv picnic tables and grill. The hot tub offers an electrical roof and privacy screening if desired. There is an outside fire pit with plenty of seating to be enjoyed at night with the beautiful city lights and moonlite mountains. If that's not enough, the lodge also has an outside shower with stunning mountain views!

The lodge has five large oversized bedrooms. One master is located at the front of the house. It has a king size bed, tv, sitting area, double closets, a large private bathroom with tub & shower and a granite double sink vanity. This master bedroom has direct mountain views while lying in the bed.

The master bedrooms (No.#1 & No.#2) are located directly behind the living space of the home. Master No#1 has a king size bed, an electric fireplace, a large private bathroom with a granite double sink vanity, with a shower and a tub. It has a private patio located on the side of the house. Master No#2 has a large wooded mural on the main wall, king size bed, small couch, private bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sliding doors to a patio with stunning mountain views. Both master bedrooms have their own heating and cooling system for personal room temperature setting.

The next two master bedrooms (No# 3 & No# 4) are located down the corridor. Master bedroom No# 3 has two queen beds, a sitting area, tv, private bathroom with a walk-in shower and double sliding doors to the patio with beautiful mountain views. The No# 4 masterbed is located at the end of the hallway. It has a mural on the main wall with a silhouette of trees, king size bed, tv, sitting area, private bathroom with walk-in shower and double sliding doors to the patio looking at the center of all the outside living area. Both master bedrooms have their own heating and cooling system for personal room temperature settings.

The King Bear Downtown Lodge offers free access to three clubhouses! They are all conveniently located within three miles radius from the lodge. Each clubhouse is uniquely different. All of the clubhouses have oversized swimming pools (some have two or three pools at one location), tennis courts, pickleball, basketball, workout facility, gameroom, and children's playground. All guests must have the club pass upon entering.

Weddings-
The King Bear Downtown Lodge has been a wedding destination for years. The stunning mountain views, easily accessible location and numerous amenities makes it a perfect wedding venue.

The wedding ceremony venue is located behind the lodge in the large outdoor space with beautiful mountains views. The reception venue is located at the south clubhouse just 3 miles away. The club house includes 12 round tables, 4 six-foot tables, 2 eight-foot tables and 45 chairs. Also included are black linens for all tables, 45 gold chargers, 45 gold napkin rings, 45 white dinner plates, 45 water goblets and 4 chafing dishes. All of this for a $3,000 fee.

A four night minimum stay is required, excluding the $3,000 fee. There are other cabins close by that can be rented separately for additional guests, if needed.

The layout of the house was great for 4 couples and the kitchen was big and had everything you needed and more. The house’s location is nice for views and short distance to drive to town, but really is not walkable unless you are young and in great shape ( too steep). The house needed a more through dusting ( headboard and under beds). And the hot water heater for the front of the house kept kicking off. I would stay there again.

The Franklin Lloyd Wright design is iconic and flows so well. The bedrooms all with their own full bathrooms is wonderful for multi-family trips. The backyard area and views were immaculate for family pictures, a Mountain View, and plenty of places to run around and park. We saw more bears in the yard than all of our the trips to Gatlinburg combined. They were not a bother to most of us, they just kept eating the floor mats, must have been delicious. One of our favorite spots we’ve been in, so convenient to the strip.

We had a fabulous stay and enjoyed the convenience of the house. Saw lots of bears on the road to town and in the backyard, so be cautious.

Overall, everyone in our party enjoyed the property. Great backyard, hot tub, fire pit and bedrooms were large with bathrooms in each. The additional bathroom was also very nice for people to use when their respective bathroom/shower was in use. We saw bears everyday - one affectionately named "Tater" since he was there every day and other larger bears that were not as "social" which was good. A couple quick suggestions would be to have hangers in the closets, additional toilet paper, garbage bags, and paper towels since a large group of people go thru them quickly (before our store run) although we were fine with those provided. Overall, a great stay and we would stay again in the future! Owner was quick to respond to any questions or problems we had.

This house is perfect! We had 8 adults and 4 kids, and everyone had plenty of room. The house is in a prime location. You can walk to all of Gatlinburg (although it's a steep hill back up!), the river and hiking trails. It's also close to the bypass, so when you are going to dollywood you can go around all the Gatlinburg traffic. The house has everything you need, and the owners are very responsive if you need anything. And the yard is huge and flat so the kids had a great time playing! And we saw multiple bears, and even a bobcat! We highly recommend this house, and will stay here again on our next trip to Gatlinburg!
