5 Bedroom Cabin in Gatlinburg

Our largest luxury cabin featuring a 12-seat theater, arcade game room, and panoramic mountain views

Funky Bear Lodge: Gatlinburg’s Only 5-Bedroom in Our Lineup

A search for a 5 bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg usually means adult couples need their own doors — not bunks masquerading as a fifth room. At Gatlinburg's Best Cabins, that property is Funky Bear Lodge: five bedrooms, sleeps 12, 12-seat theater, game room with arcade, and an 8-person hot tub at Phoenix Landing (~5 minutes to downtown).

Four king master suites plus a dedicated bunk room give large families and celebration groups a clear room map. Book live rates on the cabin page via Hospitable. Pets are not allowed. If you need four bedrooms with bunk overflow and a larger Jacuzzi instead, compare Big Sky Lodge — our only 4BR — or browse all sleeps-12 cabins and large-group options.

What Makes Funky Bear Lodge Special

12-Seat Private Movie Theater

The crown jewel of Funky Bear Lodge is its dedicated theater room featuring 12 luxurious reclining seats and an impressive 85-inch smart TV. This isn't just a TV room - it's a genuine home cinema experience. Perfect for family movie nights, watching the big game with friends, or letting the kids enjoy their favorite films while adults relax elsewhere. With access to YouTubeTV for live channels and streaming apps like Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu, entertainment options are endless.

Championship Game Room

Adjacent to the theater, the expansive game room provides hours of entertainment for all ages. Features include:

  • Pool Table: Regulation-size table for competitive matches
  • Air Hockey: Fast-paced fun that everyone can enjoy
  • Big Buck Hunter Arcade: Authentic arcade gaming experience
  • Board Games & Cards: Classic entertainment for game nights

8-Person Hot Tub

After a day of hiking in the Smokies or exploring Gatlinburg's attractions, nothing beats soaking in the 8-person hot tub on the lower patio. With room for most of your group, it's the perfect setting for stargazing, sunset watching, or simply unwinding while surrounded by mountain beauty.

Four King Master Suites

No more arguing over who gets the best room! Funky Bear Lodge features four king master suites, each with its own private en-suite bathroom. Every adult couple or guest can enjoy a luxurious sleeping arrangement with privacy and comfort.

Dedicated Bunk Room

The fifth bedroom features two sets of bunk beds (four beds total) with its own attached private bathroom - perfect for kids who want their own space or additional guests. It's like a fun sleepover every night!

Gourmet Kitchen & Dining

The fully equipped gourmet kitchen makes cooking for large groups a pleasure rather than a chore. You'll find:

  • Full-size refrigerator and freezer with ice maker
  • Stove, oven, and microwave
  • Dishwasher for easy cleanup
  • Cuisinart Keurig combo coffee maker
  • All pots, pans, utensils, and dishes for 12+ guests
  • Dining table seating for 12

Smart Entertainment Throughout

Every bedroom and common area features Samsung HD smart TVs with:

  • YouTubeTV for live cable channels
  • Netflix, Disney+, and Hulu access
  • Ability to log in with your personal streaming accounts

Premium Location in Phoenix Landing

Funky Bear Lodge is situated in Phoenix Landing, one of Gatlinburg's newest and most prestigious cabin developments. The location offers:

  • Less than 10 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg
  • Wide, paved roads maintained by the city (even in winter)
  • Views of downtown Gatlinburg lights at night
  • Smoky Mountain panoramas from multiple decks
  • Near major attractions: Ober Gatlinburg, the new observation bridge, and the National Park

Celebration & Large-Family Use Cases

Funky Bear is the celebration pick of Phoenix Landing — not because it has louder décor, but because five bedrooms let adult guests keep private space while the theater and game room absorb evening energy.

Milestone birthdays, anniversaries, and graduations

Groups of 8–12 often arrive with a “guest of honor” plus siblings and close friends. Assign the four king suites to adult pairs, bunks to kids or younger cousins, then use the theater for photo slideshows or a shared movie night instead of renting a separate event space. Downtown dinner is five minutes away when you want a reservation night; the cabin handles the after-party without a hotel quiet-hours scramble.

Bachelor & bachelorette weekends

Private hot tub, arcade/game room, and a 12-seat theater keep the itinerary on-site when the group wants to stay in. When you do go out, the Parkway, Ole Smoky, and Pigeon Forge dinner shows are an easy drive — see our dinner shows guide. For wedding-adjacent cabin trips, also see bachelorette cabin planning.

Large families and multi-household trips

Three households sharing one roof works when bedroom doors match adult headcount. Funky Bear’s layout beats forcing two couples to share a 3BR sleeps-8 cabin. Grocery once, cook breakfasts together, then split: some to Dollywood (~20–25 min), some to the national park (~10 min), reconvene for hot tub and theater. No pets — plan pet boarding before you book.

When to choose Big Sky instead

If your group is reunion-heavy with lots of kids and you want the larger 10-person Jacuzzi plus bunk-forward sleeping, Big Sky Lodge (4BR + bunks) may fit better. Funky Bear wins when five private bedrooms matter more than max Jacuzzi capacity.
