Description

Enjoy A Bearcation in the Great Smoky Mountains at this 2-bedroom cabin for up to 8 guests in Gatlinburg, Tennessee — a bustling mountain town with many unique attractions, shops, events, and eateries for added fun on your mountain getaway. From king-size beds and a game room to serene wooded views and a bubbling outdoor hot tub, you’ll find plenty to keep you entertained, relaxed, and feeling right at home at this Gatlinburg cabin.

In the mornings, brew some coffee and make a delicious breakfast in your Smoky Mountain cabin’s fully equipped kitchen. It boasts stainless steel appliances, dishes and glassware, cooking tools, a toaster and blender, and space to prep meals. Gather around the dining table to eat before making yourself comfortable in the mountain-chic living room.

Keep the group entertained in the awesome game room at your Gatlinburg cabin rental — outfitted with a pool table, a checkers table, luxe leather seating, an arcade console, a huge TV, and space to play and hang out. On the decks, toss some steaks on the gas grill, enjoy peaceful wooded views, or climb into the soothing hot tub to unwind.

Each of the bedrooms at this 2-bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg, TN, features a king-size bed, along with a TV and an electric (no heat) fireplace. Additional conveniences at this accommodating 1,700+ square-foot cabin include a washer/dryer, a sauna, rocking chairs, a Blu-ray player, a garden tub, a sleeper sofa, and a twin-over-twin bunk the kids will love! Plus, you’ll be just 10 minutes from both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg so you’ll have plenty of fun things to do within a short drive.

Living Room
Between hiking trails to waterfalls, shopping in the crafts community, or horseback riding in the Smokies, retreat to the living room at your log cabin in Gatlinburg. Tall picture windows frame the flowing trees outside and let in plenty of natural light during the day. A stacked stone, gas fireplace makes the space cozier in winter months. And for added entertainment, there’s a TV to enjoy from the plump sofas. Place your coffee and treats on the coffee table and curl up for a friendly chat with your partner or simply soak in the tree-studded scenery in peaceful quiet.

Kitchen
When you’re craving a bite to eat or something refreshing to drink, head to the full kitchen at your Great Smoky Mountain hideaway that’s equipped with everything you need to prepare and serve meals, snacks, and beverages on your Gatlinburg vacation.

Appliances include a large double-door refrigerator, an electric range, a microwave, a toaster, a blender, and both standard drip and single-cup coffeemakers! You’ll also have cookware, cutlery, dishes, glasses, mugs, a serving cart, and a double sink with a window overlooking the towering trees.

Dining Area
Pair lovely homemade meals or local takeout with a bottle of vino from the Gatlinburg Winery when setting the dining table at your cozy cabin in Gatlinburg. Just off the kitchen, the dining area is convenient for refills and seconds. Plus, this space is ideal for card games, crafts, coloring, blogging, journaling, or teaching homeschool.

At your mountain cabin in Gatlinburg, there are 2 full bathrooms — one with a spacious tiled rain shower with room for 2! There’s a shower/tub combo in the other, ideal for families with kids. Additional sleeping arrangements include a twin-over-twin bunk plus a pull-out sofa in the rec room. Enjoy a relaxing hot shower, slide into your pajamas, and curl up for TV entertainment, a good book, or romantic moments on your Smoky Mountain vacation.

Outdoor Spaces
After exploring the Forbidden Caverns, Anakeesta’s family-friendly adventure park, or biking trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, kick back in your own outdoor spaces at A Bearcation! With scenic wooded views and 2 covered decks, you’ll be whistling your way to a world of relaxation in no time.

Slip into the hot tub and turn on the massaging water jets for a while or crack open that book you’ve been meaning to read while swaying in a rocker. Enjoy coffee, tea, or lemonade sips at the outdoor table while your next meal cooks on the gas grill. And enjoy the fresh mountain air every day!

For travel notes, this semi-private cabin rental in Gatlinburg features winding, paved roads that lead to a flat, paved driveway with parking for 4 vehicles. And to make unpacking and loading the cars easier, there are only 3 steps up to reach the front porch and enter the property.

Pleasant getaway

The cabin is awesome! We enjoyed our stay very much. The game room was enjoyed by all and the overall cleanliness of the cabin was appreciated. The only drawback is the drive up to the cabin Very steep and windy (to be expected) However there aren't any guiderails which makes it a bit dangerous especially if weather turns on you. It definitely wouldn't keep us from booking again. Just be careful.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We're thrilled you had a great time, and it's awesome to hear the game room and cabin cleanliness stood out. We completely understand your concerns about the drive and appreciate the heads-up. It’s always a pleasure to welcome guests like you, and we look forward to hosting you again!

Perfect Cabin for a Mountain Getaway

We spent a week here for Thanksgiving and loved it. The cabin was exactly as described and very clean. We saw two bears the first day and that was very cool. The cabin had plenty of room, the kitchen was decently stocked with cookware, the grill was clean with propane ready, and the hot tub was clean and the kids enjoyed it! There are two porches with a wooded view and plenty of seating. The washer and dryer were very helpful and worked well. Some extra blankets and bigger/thicker towels would have been nice especially with the colder temps. We would stay here again and truly enjoyed our stay.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for spending your Thanksgiving with us! It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the cabin’s comforts, from the cozy porches to the clean hot tub, and even got to spot some bears—what a treat! We appreciate your feedback on the blankets and towels and are glad your family made great memories during your stay.

Greatest place

We loved it the layout was perfect we did have trouble with the TV going out one night but they fixed it the next day. And we had a storm lost electricity for a little bit and the air conditioning in the upper part didn’t have air all night. The next day was our day to leave so I hope it got fixed I’m sure it did
Response from Cabins for You
We're so glad the layout was a great fit for your stay. We sincerely apologize for the issues with the TV and air conditioning, and we're grateful you shared your experience. It sounds like the weather added some unexpected challenges, but we're happy our team could assist quickly. We hope you'll return for an even smoother visit next time!

Great Private Retreat

This property sits in a great spot between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge making it easy to get to many restaurants/activities in the area. Also is located in a semi private area located on top of a mountain. With the trees surrounding the cabin you would almost not even know other cabins are close by.
Response from Cabins for You
Jeff, we're so happy to have you as a guest! We're so pleased that you and your guests enjoyed your conveniently located, secluded cabin! We're thankful for your review and hope that we're able to host your future Smoky Mountains vacations in the near future!
