## Frequently asked

**Why pick Big Sky Lodge over Funky Bear Lodge?**

Big Sky Lodge is the family-reunion pick of our two sleeps-12 cabins. It has six full bathrooms across twelve sleeps — enough privacy for every couple or family unit to have its own bathroom — paired with a 12-seat theater room and Mt. LeConte views. Choose Funky Bear Lodge instead if amenity-richness (largest hot tub in the cluster, top-tier finishes) matters more than maximum bathroom-per-couple privacy.

**How many people does Big Sky Lodge sleep, and what are the bedrooms like?**

Big Sky Lodge sleeps 12 across 4 bedrooms plus a bunk room, with 6 full bathrooms. Bed configuration is 2 king suites + 3 queen rooms + a bunk room. Each main bedroom has an en-suite bath, which is unusual for a sleeps-12 cabin and the reason it's our preferred reunion pick.

**What entertainment does Big Sky Lodge offer?**

Big Sky Lodge has a 12-seat theater room (projector + tiered seating), a game room with pool, air hockey, and arcade, a private hot tub, and an electric fireplace. The theater is the standout feature for groups — it's a real evening focal point for family-movie nights or sports viewing.

**Is Big Sky Lodge good for a family reunion?**

Yes — it's the cabin we most often recommend for multi-generational family reunions. Six full bathrooms across twelve sleeps means privacy for every couple, grandparents, or family unit. The 12-seat theater plus the game room give multiple shared spaces, and the location 2 miles from downtown Gatlinburg makes day-trip planning easy.

**How far is Big Sky Lodge from downtown Gatlinburg, the park, and Dollywood?**

Big Sky Lodge sits in Phoenix Landing, 2 miles (~5 min) from downtown Gatlinburg, 3 miles (~7 min) from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, and 12 miles (~20 min) from Dollywood in Pigeon Forge.

**How many vehicles can park at Big Sky Lodge?**

Big Sky Lodge accommodates multiple vehicles. For groups of 12, plan on 3–4 vehicles fitting comfortably; please reach out before booking if you have RVs or trailers, which are not permitted.
