Bear FootInn
Location: Gatlinburg, Tennessee
Area: Chalet Village
Description
Boasting a convenient location in the Chalet Village community of Gatlinburg, Tennessee, Bear FootInn is a 3-bedroom cabin for up to 8 guests near the fun of the Parkway downtown. Enjoy peaceful days tucked among the trees or easily pop into town to dine, shop, explore, and enjoy dinner shows and attractions. Each day, enjoy the cozy yet modern spaces of this classic log cabin in Gatlinburg.
Before a big day hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park or taking a scenic drive through Cades Cove, prepare a delicious breakfast in the fully equipped kitchen of this cozy hideaway. Sit down for meals at the dining table inside or take your plates outside to enjoy the breeze. There is also a charcoal grill, so you can toss burgers or steaks on for lunch or dinner.
Around the cabin, find lots of relaxing spaces inside and out. Sit back in rocking chairs on the deck, soak in the bubbling outdoor hot tub, cozy up in the living room with leather sofas and a big screen TV, unwind by the fireplace, shoot pool on the pool table, or fall asleep in king-size beds (with TVs in the bedrooms).
A favorite space will be the theater room/game room, where you’ll have tiered theater-style seating, a big screen TV, the pool table, tables for drinks and snacks, and a mini fridge to keep drinks on hand. The cabin also has a washer/dryer, seasonal mountain views, keyless entry (self check-in!), and access to the community swimming pools!
Living Room
As you step inside this cozy log cabin, you’ll be greeted by the warm and welcoming living room. It’s furnished with plush leather sofas, a nice fireplace, and a big screen TV mounted on the wall. Gather here for late-night chats, TV on lazy afternoons, and mornings of quality time before a big day in town. It’s also just steps from the full kitchen, making it easy to grab snacks when you’re hanging out.
Kitchen
The fully equipped kitchen is open to the living room, inviting guests to spend time together whether they’re cooking, eating, playing games, or relaxing in the living room. It features bright white appliances, stone countertops, a refrigerator, a dishwasher, a microwave, an oven with 4-burning stovetop, dishes, glasses, utensils, and conveniences like a coffeemaker, knife set, blender, toaster, and more.
Dining Area
The eat-in kitchen offers a nice dining table with 6 chairs, plus a 2-person table around the corner. Enjoy your morning coffee, sit down for breakfast together, order pizza and have an easy lunch, or use the space to prepare picnic lunches for scenic drives through the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
The dining table is also perfect for family game night! Clear the table and break out the board games and decks of cards you packed. Or you can put together puzzles, use it for homeschooling, or catch up on a little work during your midweek getaway.
Rec Room | Theater Room
Private home theater and game room in one, this fun space is the place to be when you want to stay in! Shoot pool on the pool table, play darts or checkers, grab a drink from the mini fridge, have snacks at the high-top tables, or get cozy on the plush leather movie seats and watch something on the big screen TV!
Bedrooms
After busy days, come home to your Gatlinburg cabin rental. There are 3 bedrooms in all, with king-size beds, 1 sleeper sofa, and space to sleep up to 8 guests. There are also 3 bathrooms for guests’ convenience. While there are plenty of great spaces to spend time together in Bear FootInn, guests will also appreciate these separate and private spaces to unwind.
Outdoor Spaces
Step outside for some fresh air, where you’ll find some great places to relax. Climb into the bubbling outdoor hot tub at the end of the day, chatting with friends and listening to nature. Or you can start your morning with a cup of coffee in a rocking chair or snack on the deck furniture. You’ll also have a charcoal (picnic-style) grill for barbecues! Tucked among the trees, you’ll feel at peace in the mountains.
Other Amenities
Hate coming home with suitcases of dirty laundry? Take advantage of the washer/dryer in the cabin! Plan out the week’s adventures using the Wi-Fi in the home, enjoy keyless entry (no office you have to stop by for check-in), or head to the community pool for summertime fun.
