These special ticket privileges allow unlimited visits during your stay, plus valuable park benefits — making it easier than ever to experience two of the area's most beloved attractions while staying in complete comfort just minutes away.

The Great Room - Where Comfort Meets Grandeur

Step into a welcoming living space featuring a stunning heated stone fireplace, plush seating, and natural light pouring through large windows. Whether you're enjoying a slow mountain morning with coffee or winding down with a movie after a day at the park, this inviting space keeps everyone connected.

The open-concept design flows effortlessly into the dining and kitchen areas — perfect for laughter-filled evenings and shared meals.

Chef-Inspired Kitchen & Gathering Dining Space

The fully equipped kitchen is a showpiece of both function and style — complete with stainless steel appliances, gleaming granite countertops, ample prep space, and a dual coffeemaker for both single cups and full pots.

Gather around the elegant dining table or pull up a seat at the breakfast bar while the chef in your group prepares everything from hearty mountain breakfasts to celebratory dinners. Cleanup is effortless with the dishwasher, leaving you more time to relax.

Private Indoor Pool - Year-Round Family Fun

The private indoor swimming pool is the crown jewel of Friendly Bear Plunge. Rain or shine, summer or winter, your group can splash, swim, and unwind in complete privacy.

Parents can relax poolside while kids laugh and play — or take a soothing dip after exploring the nearby Great Smoky Mountains National Park, often called the true crown jewel of East Tennessee.

Private Theater Room - Your Personal Cinema

Turn every evening into movie night in your dedicated home theater. Tiered seating with recliners and drink holders creates an authentic cinematic experience. Dim the lights, grab popcorn, and enjoy everything from family classics to action blockbusters.
