The resort, which will be located in the Smoky Mountains in Pigeon Forge, TN, is designed to be where wilderness education meets family adventure to create lasting memories for its guests. Now more than ever, families are looking for a different kind of resort experience that can deliver a thrilling return to nature in a convenient, climate-controlled environment.

Bear Village, Inc. is currently seeking investors to fund continued site development. The minimum investment amount is $500 with Reg A Tier II toward the overall goal of raising $50 million for the planned project development, construction, operations, initial setup, and management. The company has two resorts in development. The first, in Pigeon Forge, TN is the furthest developed. A second property located in Jackson County, Georgia is undergoing an initial site layout. Additional properties will be acquired as destination resort demographics are evaluated. Visit the investment page here, (https://www.bearvillageresorts.com/invest/).

The Tennessee resort's extensive proposed plans will feature an 80,000 sq. ft. indoor water park, a 60,000 sq. ft. adventure park, a 15,000-gallon freshwater aquarium, a 90,000 sq. ft. family entertainment center, a 20,000 sq. ft. banquet center, 250+ room resort hotel, 250+ unit condo development, 250+ timeshare units, and a state-of-the-art sports bar. The resort facilities will also offer a wide variety of food and beverage outlets including fine dining all with 4-star quality service, nightlife venues, retail outlets, and an educational wildlife experience.

Guests will have the opportunity to explore unlimited fun as they can navigate giant water slides, scale the indoor/outdoor rock climbing and ropes courses, take flight across a 3,000-foot-long Zip Coaster, competition surf with a wave machine, swim the tropical lagoons, or test their mettle on a high-speed indoor Karting track.
"With the distractions of mobile phones and video games these days, children are spending less time in the great outdoors," said Rick Haynes, CEO of Bear Village Resorts. "So, we have brought the outdoors indoors for them and their families to have exposure to several destinations while having the opportunity to become aware of endangered animal habitats, and the adventures that the outdoors can bring. Pigeon Forge is the perfect location as it is centered in the Smoky Mountains and surrounded by wildlife and the great outdoors. We will bring these all together in a venue that can be used year-round and is located within a day's drive of multiple states with significant population centers."

Haynes estimated it will take approximately one year for planning and permitting, and three and a half years for project completion.
