Vacation Home Management Vacasa unlocks the possibilities of how we enjoy vacation homes. We take care of managing our homeowners’ vacation houses so they can have peace of mind (and their home when they want to). And our guests book vacations confidently knowing they’re going to find exactly what they’re looking for without any surprises. Each vacation home is always cared for by our professional local teams who implement our high cleanliness and maintenance values, while the hands-off tasks of vacation rental management--marketing, filing taxes, and maintaining a website--are handled by a specialized central support team. Our passion and focus remains true: to empower our homeowners, guests, and employees to invest in vacation.

Adopt the Smoky Mountain lifestyle and make the best memories in no time here at the Prickly Bear, which is located at Buckberry Creek Unit 1. Lofted and stylish, this spacious escape offers plenty of room for each lucky guest to spread out with ease or gather together. The living area will be ideal for kicking back after a full day of adventures, and the TV is more than ready to keep you up to date on your favorite shows and movies as you thaw out by the wood-burning fireplace. When it is time to curb appetites, step up to the full kitchen and take advantage of the modern appliances, cookware, and spacious countertops to whip up tasty meals and snacks with ease. For added convenience, this home has a washer/dryer, perfect for throwing in that hiking gear and refreshing for the next day's adventures. When you feel like venturing away from home a bit, this area is filled with outdoor recreation and fantastic attractions. Hiking, biking, and exploring downtown will be a blast come summer and the endless foliage of Smoky Mountain National Park is just a short drive away—less than a ten-minute drive. Enjoy views, food, and activities along Gatlinburg Parkway, less than three miles away. And within walking distance, the free Ober shuttle will whisk you away to nearby sights and enjoyment. Amenities available at three Chalet Village Owners Clubs include pools, snack bars, tennis courts, a fitness room, a children’s splash pad, a gaming system, and a game room.
