Sleeps 40! Bowling + Indoor Grotto Pool w/ Slide

Base Camp at Wonder Meadows sleeps 40 in 10 themed bedrooms with 11.5 baths, and brings the whole mountain adventure indoors: a private blacklight bowling alley, golf simulator, theater, game loft, a two-story indoor slide from the second floor down to the main level, and an indoor grotto pool with its own slide and hot tub. It's built for family reunions, church and youth retreats, and team trips, with breathtaking mountain views from multiple decks and a main-level king suite with a step-free, roll-in shower for guests who'd rather skip the stairs. You're 7 minutes from the Wears Valley entrance to Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge, 26 from Dollywood and 32 from Gatlinburg. The only question is: what adventure comes next?
