So relaxing

We wanted a place secluded enough for relaxing away from the crowds, but close enough to fun activities. This cabin was perfect! We spent time relaxing in the hot tub after hiking all over. Made our 20th anniversary so special.

Bears!

The cabin is as amazing! Perfect location in relation to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! Very quiet area with lots of wildlife. We had a Mother bear and her two cubs pay us a visit. Looking for food of course 😂. Amazing trip and would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking for a perfect trip.

Thanksgiving getaway

We wanted to stay somehwere that was peaceful and quiet and that is exactly what this cabin provided! The location was good- not too far away from either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. The gas firepit on the front porch helped during the chilly days and nights!

Great place to get away

Fun cabin out in the woods. The neighboring cabins are spread out, you have good privacy. We did not see any bears but did see allot of turkeys. Place offers good internet considering the location. Gatlinburg is around the corner, as well as great places to eat. Communication with the owner/management is great.

Family Vacation

Beautiful cabin, super comfy beds, plenty of room for more then us 4. Beautiful outdoor woodsy private environment. There are other cabins on the road but with all the trees felt private. Saw wild turkeys, and bears, which we really wanted to see. They didn’t come up on the cabin porch but walked past on the road. We would definitely recommend this cabin. Only note would be that the outside deck area could have been swept and spiderwebs cleared. Wipe down the furniture. But that definitely wouldn’t stop us from staying here again.

Bear Paw Bridge Cabin - Secluded and Serene Stay

We recently had the pleasure of staying at the Bear Paw Bridge Cabin in Gatlinburg, and it truly delivered a calm and serene retreat. The cabin's location offers wonderful seclusion, making it a peaceful getaway, though it is quite a distance from Gatlinburg itself. If you're looking to disconnect and enjoy nature, this is a great spot. The cabin comfortably accommodates parking for two cars, which is a nice convenience. All listed amenities were as expected, making our stay quite comfortable. One area where we felt there could be improvement was in the exterior cleanliness. There were noticeable spider webs and leaves stuck outside the glass, which hadn’t been cleaned recently. While it didn’t detract from our overall experience, a bit more attention to this would make the cabin even more inviting. That said, the owner was incredibly communicative and supportive throughout our stay, even while traveling abroad. We truly appreciated the prompt and helpful communication, which made our stay smooth and worry-free. Overall, Bear Paw Bridge Cabin is a fantastic escape for those looking for tranquility in the mountains, and with a bit more attention to exterior upkeep, it would be even better!

Snowy wonderland

We had an incredible stay at Bear Paws! The cabin was very nice, almost exactly what we were looking for. (We didn't need the second bedroom) We dealt with some weather issues both checking in and out, but Neil was wonderful to work with. We were able to check in just before the snow really started, and then had to stay an extra night because of being snowed in! In all the times I've visited Gatlinburg, this was the first time we've gotten multiple snows that kept us in. The bridge entry is very cool. Nice kitchen, most of the essentials for dishes. Do bring your own food necessities, mainly all that was stocked for cooking was some oil and a few spices I think. But that's normal. We didn't really use the breakfast nook, but it's nice and cozy. The room layout of the living room/den area was a little strange, but we moved a couch around a little to line up with the fireplace and TV and it was perfect. Speaking of the fireplaces, they all have a timer on the side of the chimney to control the fire. You don't have to touch the gas knob on the logs. The bedrooms upstairs are both huge, very comfortable beds. The room on the right had a stiffer mattress, the left that we stayed in had a pretty soft mattress, perfect for my wife. The pool table in the left bedroom was fun. We didn't use any of the video game systems. The bathroom with jetted tub was nice. I'm 6'5", so having a place to stretch out and soak was nice. Word of warning, the wooden door inset in the rock wall over the tub opens. My wife didn't realize this and leaned on that portion getting out of the tub, it opened, she fell. Just a little scrape thankfully, but it's a big step in and out so be aware. The hot tub on the front deck was nice. Mostly a secluded view, it doesn't feel like you are being watched or could have conversations with the neighbors like some places I've seen. Very relaxing and easy to cover/uncover. Overall we had a great stay. We didn't have great luck with delivery from Uber or pizza places, but that may have been the weather. We mostly cooked for ourselves, and to go out is only 15 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and only about 20 to Pigeon Forge. We can't wait to come stay at Bear Paws again!

Nestled in the trees

We had a wonderful stay! I did feel like Goldilocks and the 3 bears. One mattress was too hard, the pull out we didn't try but the third bed was just right. If unaccustomed to the roads and area I suggest arriving in daylight hours as some of the roads to the cabin are narrow and curvy.

Great family friendly vacation

This area is awesome. The house had beautiful wood and smelled wonderful like a rustic cabin with fresh wood. Nice to have fireplaces but didn’t like the timers, could hear clicking and kind of ruined the ambiance. :) a little uncomfortable watching movies due to layout of family room but not much you can do with the space. Lots of great extras for family like pool table, video games. Cobwebs on ceiling that need to be tended to. Overall beautiful property that we enjoyed.

Cozy cabin for Smoky Mountains

Stayed here for about week to visit the Smoky Mountains. Nice location, a bit north of Gatlinburg, enough to feel separated from the town but close. enough. Cabin was very nice, clean, well decorated. Two large bedrooms. TVs everywhere. Had a gas grill on the patio which was a plus.
