From an outdoor hot tub and a perfect-for-throwing-football yard to a pool table and cozy bedrooms, this Gatlinburg charmer is sure to be a memorable one. 

A simple mountain motif flows throughout this Gatlinburg cabin, and outside it’s surrounded by lush woods and the peace of the Smokies. During downtime at the cabin, play a few games on the pool table, bring your Xbox games, or take advantage of the high-speed wireless internet as you lounge on the sofa in front of the media center with big screen TV. Bring along your favorite movies for the DVD player, and enjoy TVs in each bedroom as well!

On nice nights, grab fresh ingredients from the fully equipped kitchen to cook on the charcoal grill and play around in the yard while dinner is prepared. When it’s cool, head back inside to cozy up by the gas fireplace and have a movie night or enjoy a soothing bath in the jetted tub inside. There is also an outdoor hot tub — the perfect end to a night — as well as a washer and dryer and a motorcycle-friendly driveway.  Convenience and comfort await at A Blissful Bear in the Great Smoky Mountains!

Living Room
Step inside your cozy cabin abode, head upstairs, and get ready for unforgettable memories on your Gatlinburg vacation! Featuring a seating area with a plump sofa, 2 arm chairs, and a coffee table, the living room at A Blissful Bear is a great space to gather for morning chats with coffee or board game tournaments with the whole gang. There’s also a flatscreen TV with DVD player for movie nights or entertainment for the kiddos while the adults play pool nearby. On chilly evenings, sip marshmallow-filled cocoa with a new novel series by the toasty gas fireplace. The open concept, wood walls and flooring, plus high ceilings and sliding glass doors really open up the space, keeping everyone comfortable and connected.

Kitchen
Mere feet from the living area lies the open kitchen, fully equipped for all your cooking needs! Find major appliances, pots and pans, cookware, dinnerware, mugs, and more, perfect for whipping up traditional family recipes or trying out Rachael Ray’s latest creation! Store breakfast ingredients, lunch leftovers, and desserts for dinner in the fridge, bake homemade lasagna in the oven, and pop everyone’s movie-night favorite in the microwave — with extra butter! There’s also a stainless-steel double sink to wash up, a Proctor Silex single-serve coffeemaker for endless pots of joe (can accommodate K-Cups), and a toaster for morning bagels.

Dining Area
Just off the kitchen rests the dining area with a wooden table for 6. Combined with the living room seating only steps away, this open-concept space is great for family meals or midnight munchies with your bestie. When you just want to chill at the cabin, the dining table is great for playing card games, browsing local deals on your laptop, or jotting down your next journal entry.

Rec Area
Also located upstairs beside the living room is the rec area, featuring a pool table and media center with a 49-inch big screen TV! The cabin also has an Xbox, so the kids and kids at heart can have some fun! (*Bring your own games and sign in through your Xbox account.) Plus, the Xbox plays Blu-rays, so don't forget to bring some favorites! Plop on the couch (doubles as a queen sleeper sofa) for a bit of entertainment or show off your pool game skills to your friends. After winning so many rounds, take a victory break on the back deck through the sliding glass doors. Don’t worry, if things get too heated, the ceiling fan overhead will keep everyone cool inside. There’s also a half bath nearby, so you won’t have to make any quick trips downstairs.

Bedrooms
After a fun day playing in town and at the cabin, it’s time to rest in your king-size bed! Both bedrooms harbor a king-size bed plus a flatscreen TV, bureau with a mirror, and a private en-suite bathroom — providing optimal comfort for YOU. You’ll also find a jetted tub in the master suite, perfect for soothing spa baths with bubbles galore, tea candles, and tranquil tunes, along with a Doctor's Choice Plush Mattress. And don’t forget A Blissful Bear sleeps up to 6 guests, with a queen sleeper sofa in the rec area.

Outdoor Spaces
Ah, breathe in that fresh mountain air on the back deck at A Blissful Bear. Wooded views provide a sense of calm as you take a relaxing dip in the steamy hot tub, and the table for 4 is perfect for hot tea sips with the sunrise. Near the flat, paved, motorcycle-friendly driveway with parking for 2, a charcoal grill awaits for barbecue shindigs, featuring a round picnic table so you can eat straight away! The yard is also quite spacious with plenty of room for playing catch or Red Rover with the kiddos.

Other Amenities
To top everything off, A Blissful Bear also provides a handy washer and dryer so you can keep clothes and towels fresh and clean plus high-speed wireless internet to keep up with the Cabins for YOU blog.
