Lazy Bear puts the Great Smoky Mountains right outside the sliding doors. This 2-bedroom condo sits on a ridge on the east side of Gatlinburg, away from the Parkway traffic, with long mountain views and a full list of shared resort amenities a short walk away. It's an easy fit for couples, small families, or a few friends. The living room is built around a stone fireplace, with soft seating and a flat-screen TV for relaxed evenings. The kitchen is fully equipped for breakfast before the trail or a simple dinner back at the condo, and bar seating and a dining area keep everyone in the same room while it all comes together. Each bedroom has a queen bed and its own flat-screen TV, and two bathrooms keep mornings moving for up to four guests. Step out onto the balcony and the ridgelines take over. It's the spot for first coffee as the mountains come into view, a cool breather after a long hike, and sunset as the light settles over the national park. The shared spaces give you plenty more to work with. Swim in the indoor pool, warm up in the shared hot tub, or try the wet and dry saunas when the weather turns. There's a fire pit for cool nights, tennis and basketball courts, a playground for the kids, and a game pavilion with ping pong and cornhole. The location makes park days simple. The Greenbrier entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park is just a few miles away, offering riverside trails and a less-traveled way in. On the drive toward town, the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community is worth a stop for its working studios and galleries. Downtown Gatlinburg is about 12 miles away for dinner and shopping on the Parkway, and Pigeon Forge makes an easy day trip for family attractions. Come back in the evening to wide views and a pool waiting down the path, and staying in becomes one of the best parts of the trip.

Located along the Tennessee/North Carolina border and home to the country's most visited national park, the Smokies provide over 800 miles of hiking trails, rivers, and a good chance at a black bear sighting. The ancient mountains invite you to connect with one of the oldest mountain ranges in the world and walk among century-old trees. Talk about a step back in time!
