2040 Cougar Crossing Way Sugar Shack

Bear Creek Crossing is the reason this one books. Gated resort community with an indoor heated pool, an outdoor pool, a 65 foot waterfall, a mini golf course, and a children's play area. The HOA carries cable and internet along with the grounds. Guests filter for resort amenities before they filter for anything else, and a smaller cabin that clears that filter competes well above its size.

At 1,248 square feet this is a bigger footprint than the bedroom count suggests. The main level opens into vaulted and beamed ceilings, real hardwood floors, and a stacked stone fireplace, with large windows pulling in light and a partial mountain view. Open floor plan flowing into a fully equipped kitchen and a dining table that seats six. Sleeper sofa in the living room with a half bath right off it, which matters more than it sounds like when guests are coming in off the deck.

The main level bedroom holds a king, its own fireplace, and a jetted whirlpool tub, with a private bath and a separate tub and shower unit.

Upstairs overlooks the living, dining, and kitchen area. Pool table, air hockey, a high top table, and a second sleeper sofa. That upper level is where a smaller cabin earns its rate, because it gives a group somewhere to be that isn't the couch.

Outside, a large covered deck with a new Freeflow Spas hot tub, rocking chairs, and a gas grill. Parking for three vehicles and a wheelchair ramp at the entry, which opens up a guest segment most cabins in this market turn away.

Recent work includes a new roof roughly two years old, the new hot tub, and fresh stain. Easy paved access, no steep grades, minutes to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville. Sold fully furnished and turn key.
