Description

Stunning mountain views rest beyond gorgeous golf course landscapes from the deck of this impressive 7-bedroom +loft, 6.5-bathroom lodge in Cobbly Nob Resort. Overlooking the 7th hole of the Bent Creek Golf Course, guests to Pop-A-Bear get easy access to Cobbly Nob’s award-winning golf course, outdoor pool, and tennis court - and a convenient drive to the downtown Parkway of Gatlinburg. Along with accommodations for up to 17 guests, this majestic log cabin boasts a lower level with a second full kitchen, dining room, and living area adjacent to the rec room!

Guests will love relaxing by the 2 stone gas fireplaces while watching movies on the large flatscreen TVs (including a new 75-inch TV in the den and new 65-inch TV in the loft), drinking Smoky Mountain wine while playing group games, and reconnecting with family during a special reunion or intimate wedding weekend. Keep everyone entertained with pool and arcade games while dinner cooks in the fully loaded kitchen with tons of counter space to prep large meals.

Take in all the fresh mountain air you can while enjoying Pop-A-Bear’s ample outdoor living spaces. Two levels of wraparound decks boast a screened-in picnic area and hot tub to relax after hiking with llamas, rocking chairs and gas grill to host cabin cookouts, and a peaceful swing to listen to the soft sounds of nature in the mornings. Take the short walkway to find a gazebo with an 8-person hot tub and picnic table. Bring your basketball for the kids to play on the outdoor goal, a perfect way for the adults to enjoy some quiet time on the deck.

Amidst all this natural beauty and cabin living, guests still get all the everyday luxuries like wireless internet, washer and dryer, and TVs in every bedroom. All TVs are brand-new with streaming capabilities for all the latest apps! Make this year’s retreat, family vacation, or reunion with friends something incredible with a stay in Pop-A-Bear!

Living Room
Attached to the dining room and kitchen, this open-concept living room area is a fantastic space to entertain friends and family during a wedding weekend getaway, multi-family vacation, or holiday gatherings in the mountains of Gatlinburg. Trade gifts, embarrassing stories, and your favorite hilarious moments from the Great Smoky Mountain Murder Mystery Show while seated around the 2 large suede sofas and 2 cushioned chairs by the stacked stone fireplace. It boasts a brand-new 75-inch TV with streaming capabilities, so you can always watch what you want! 

High cathedral ceilings, fans, and large windows create a dreamy atmosphere that never feels cramped while gathering everyone for gifts by the fire during Christmas or playing group games with friends. Surrounded by charming mountain décor, share your authentic cultural souvenirs from your group trip to the historical Great Smoky Arts and Crafts Community before relaxing on the sofas with some daytime TV on the flatscreen before dinner or your next excursion.

Kitchen
Pop-A-Bear’s impressive kitchen is fully equipped and ready for those couple retreats, holidays with friends, and bachelorette weekends. With more than a dozen mouths to feed, this kitchen is perfect with tons of countertop space for preparations, a stove-top island, and breakfast bar for additional seating and self-serve buffets. With a blender, coffeemaker, and refrigerated water dispenser, guests can quench their thirst with frozen margaritas on summer afternoons, rejuvenating cups of coffee in the mornings, and quick cups of water after hikes in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

Serve large feasts on the cabin’s provided dishes and let the dishwasher do most of the cleaning to skip the waste of paper plates – and get you back to relaxing or on the road to Gatlinburg quicker! There is a second kitchen for guests to enjoy easy access to a refrigerator, sink, and microwave on the lower level!

Dining Room
With beautiful views of the Cobbly Nob golf course and dreamy natural lighting pouring through the numerous windows, you are treated to a luxurious dining atmosphere in the dining room space of your cabin. The large wood table is perfect for 10 or spread across two tables to seat 14 to host a fun family holiday feast or “Friendsgiving” dinner in the Smokies. The 2 smaller tables also make for fantastic gaming tables when everyone starts unpacking their favorites from home.

Bar stools tucked into the breakfast bar provide additional space when you are vacationing with a larger group or want to eat a quiet breakfast before other guests wake up. The effortless flow from the kitchen, dining room, and living room allows everyone to snack, dine, and hang out together with ease, savoring every moment together during a long-needed reunion.

Bedrooms + Loft
After long days of rollercoasters and theatrical events in Dollywood, return to Pop-A-Bear for restful and rejuvenating nights of sleep in the 7 cozy bedrooms, a loft, and additional sleeping spaces. Five suites boast direct bathroom access, making daily showering and primping a breeze, perfect for transitioning from a day of ziplining to an elegant dinner at Crystelle Creek. Five of the cozy quarters provide king-size beds, one bedroom has a queen-size bed, and the final bedroom offers a twin-size bed to drift into Smoky Mountain dreams.

In addition, there is a loft with a king-size bed and a full-size bed (with a brand-new 65-inch streaming TV). Each bedroom and sleeping space is outfitted with nightstands, lamps, cozy furnishings, and brand-new streaming TVs for each guest to feel right at home at this 7-bedroom cabin in Gatlinburg with a loft. Dressers and closets allow everyone to avoid living out of their suitcases for the duration of their stay, and if something has an unexpected stain or is particularly wrinkled from the trip, simply pay a visit to the laundry room on the entry level!

Rec Room
The lower level is almost an entire second cabin with additional kitchen, living, and dining spaces adjacent to the game area. Take turns watching the game, playing board games by the second stone fireplace (gas), and trying your pool shark skills with a few rounds. Little ones and teens will love playing on the free play multicade and adults will love the classics like Galaga, Donkey Kong, and Frogger. Host movie nights for the kids in the loft where there is plenty of floor space for blankets and pillows in front of the large flatscreen TV, and adults can enjoy some peace and relaxation in the living room or in the lower level’s rec room.

Outdoor Amenities
Spend all your spare time enjoying the fresh Smoky Mountain air while enjoying picturesque views of the 7th hole of the stunning manicured Cobbly Nob golf course and majestic mountains resting in the backdrop. Sip on cold glasses of sweet tea while swaying in the rocking chairs and watching golfers swing their way around the pond and across the babbling stream.

Take your time in the mornings, savoring the quiet moments in the outdoor hot tub resting on the screened-in deck (for added privacy) as the steam floats above the bubbling waters. Make it a feast of hot dogs hot off the gas grill, flipping them as you take sips of an ice-cold brew and watch the golf carts make their way along the course.

Absolutely amazing view of the golf course, beautiful home, only one thing, my friends and I believe it is haunted because of the footsteps we heard throughout the night but other than that nice cabin

Family trip 2025

We had a group of 4 generations with my dad, siblings, grandkids and a great grandbaby. We just wanted to enjoy some family time together and we did which was awesome! The cabin provided plenty of space, bedrooms, bathrooms, and a large enough living space for everyone (which is hard to find). Kitchen had the things we needed for cooking breakfast one day. Beds were clean and comfortable. Kids enjoyed the pool table and the arcade game. All in all I would stay here again. However, house could use some updates and a good deep cleaning. A couple things need some TLC. I know amenities are important to some people, not so much to others. We used the pickleball courts. Only 1 had a net. The basketball court attached had so much moss growing on it and it had been raining, so it was so slick you couldn’t walk on it. We did not use any of the pools. The one by pickleball courts was covered and not able to be used. We drove past the other 2 (one did not look very clean and one was down a hill so I couldn’t really see it.) I did not see anyone using any of the pools. We did have a bear visit just about every day. My brother-in-law ran in to him twice while going to the car. This was a plus for us, kids loved it. Just use caution when going to your cars.

We’re so thrilled your family had an amazing multi-generational getaway and enjoyed the spacious cabin together! It’s wonderful to hear the kids had fun with the pool table, arcade game, and even the bear sightings. We truly appreciate your thoughtful notes about areas that could use some TLC and will keep them in mind for future updates. Thank you for sharing your experience so kindly—we’d love to host your family again!

Spacious, beautiful & right side n the golf course

Looks just as pictures. Was a wonderful stay. Only thing I’d change is the mattresses, they are older and not in good shape…but this didn’t keep us from sleeping. Overall we were Very happy with the spacious place which was just what we needed: big open spaces and large kitchen made it comfortable for our group.
Response from Cabins for You
It’s wonderful to hear you enjoyed the spacious layout and found the kitchen perfect for your group. We’re sorry to hear the mattresses didn’t quite meet your expectations and appreciate the feedback about their condition. Comfort is always a priority, and we’ll make sure this is shared with the team for future improvements. Knowing the rest of your stay was still enjoyable means a lot to us. Your comments help us refine the experience for all guests. Thank you for sharing your thoughts, and we’re so glad the space suited your needs so well. We hope to welcome you back for another memorable stay!

Not bad

The cabin is roomy but I think the pricing could be cheaper for the quality. Things were not very clean upon arrival, the hot tub would hardly heat up, and the property had wear and tape on some of the furniture.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for sharing your experience, Tristen. It’s great to hear you found the cabin roomy, but we’re truly sorry that the cleanliness and maintenance fell short of expectations. The issues you mentioned, including the hot tub and the condition of the furniture, are concerning and will be carefully reviewed. We also appreciate your feedback about pricing and quality, as it helps us identify areas for improvement. Thank you again for your honesty—it helps us provide better stays for our future guests.

Great location for a family trip.

The home was a nice size for a large family, giving us room to come together or spread out as we needed. The only downsides were the hot tub never heated up, the refrigerator had a water leak, and the master shower didn’t get hot. Since we were out and about most of the weekend, it didn’t impact us.
Response from Cabins for You
We’re grateful you enjoyed the spaciousness of the home with your family. It’s wonderful to know that the layout worked well for you. We’re truly sorry about the issues with the hot tub, refrigerator, and shower, and we appreciate your understanding. Your feedback is invaluable and helps us improve for future guests.

Great family memory-making week!

Everything was great. Only thing we think needs attention would be lighting over the sink area in the kitchen, and lighting directly over the dining room table. Some of the boards on the deck and railing could use attention, but would not be a “deal breaker”.

Yuck

They must’ve spray for bugs prior to us checking in. There were dead ladybugs all throughout the cabin. The refrigerator on the main level leaked & I almost fell when I slipped in the water. There was a hole in one of the doors. A missing ceiling tile in the lower level. A toilet leaked on the lower level. All the mattresses were VERY broken in. I love the location & the space was perfect for us, that is why I picked this cabin.
Response from Cabins for You
Valeria, thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. We're truly sorry that your stay at our cabin did not meet the high standards we strive for. The presence of ladybugs and the issues with the refrigerator and toilet are certainly not typical, and we understand how these could have impacted your experience. We appreciate your highlighting the need for attention to the door and ceiling tile as well. Please know that we are addressing each of these concerns to ensure they are not repeated. It's heartening to hear that you enjoyed the location and found the space ideal for your needs. We value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future.

Nice Home great location

This is a nice home where every room has its own bathroom. And our favorite feature is the side screened porch with comfy furniture with a nice view.
Response from Cabins for You
We're pleased to hear you had a great time during your stay with us, Christian! We love that you were able to take in the beautiful views of the Smokies while relaxing in the comfortable outdoor furniture, and you appreciated your cabin's interior layout. Thank you so much for sharing your review with us, and we hope to host you again in the future!

45th Birthday

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was what we expected except the jacuzzi not working. You can tell it hasn't been working for a while as there was a champagne bottle stuffed in the spa with mildew. Other than that everyone enjoyed the rest of the amenities and the beautiful view.
Response from Cabins for You
Perina, we love to hear that you had an overall positive experience at Pop A Bear! We hate that the jacuzzi was not usable due to it being dirty during your stay, as that is not normal for us. We appreciate your honest feedback, as it is always helpful to us. We hope we have the opportunity to host you again at one of our 450+ properties.
