About this property

Fishin' Bear Offers Peace and Quiet! Great for Couples and Families!

Welcome to Fishin' Bear, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin in the Goose Creek Resort, minutes outside Pigeon Forge. This cabin sleeps 6. It's just far enough away from the bustle of the Parkway, while still being within 10 to 15 minutes drive of most everything. The hot tub on the screened in porch is a great way to unwind after a day sightseeing or hiking!

With easy paved road access (no mountains to climb) while maintaining a country setting, you’ll spend less time driving and more time having fun! This cabin is in a serene, low traffic, wooded area on a nice hillside, with a large parking area for your cars.

As soon as you enter Fishin' Bear, you’ll be amazed at how modern, beautiful and comfortable this cabin is. The expansive living room features beautiful wood tones, a stone fireplace with gas logs, cozy décor and a cathedral ceiling with accent painted exposed beams that creates an open, spacious atmosphere. The wide plank hardwood floor has just been refinished with a specialty method to give it a tiger striped appearance, which gives a natural warmth to the cabin. I do hope you'll take a minute to look at and appreciate it.

The main floor has a living room with a sleeper sofa and comfortable seating; the gas log fireplace is seasonally available. Cable TV and WiFi are included, along with a DVD player, should you want to enjoy one of our classic and fun videos. French doors out to the screened in deck add to the airy feeling of this cabin, and the windows illuminating the second story above the French doors make the cabin bright and cheery even on gloomy days! There are white drapes over the French doors in case you want to close them, while maintaining a bright feeling.

The kitchen is recently remodeled, with all new cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, and full of the dishes and cooking necessities to keep you happy through your stay. The dining table has plenty of room for everyone, while the breakfast bar is perfect for grabbing a quick bite before adventuring out for the day. The cabin also has a washer and dryer, so if you want to do a quick load of laundry, it's very convenient. We do provide a couple of laundry pods, but if you're going to do a lot of laundry, you might want to bring more.

This neighborhood has a community water system, and we have installed a state of the art water purification system. This cleans the water, removing any trace of odors which might be noticed in other cabins, while not adding chlorine or other chemicals to your drinking, washing and showering water.

The master bedroom holds a king sized bed and unique furnishings, including dressers to hold your belongings, and a hall tree with mirror. The master bath has just been completely renovated, with a nice vanity, great lighting and amazing, oversized triangular jacuzzi tub with integrated hand-held shower. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed, wall mounted TV and country style furnishings, including bedside lamps for those who want to read a little before bed and a comfortable reading chair. The attached bath has a nice vanity with lots of light, and a tub with shower behind tempered glass doors. Both bathrooms include antibacterial hand soap on the sinks, along with travel sized bottles of shampoo and shower gel.

On the deck you'll find comfortable rockers with new cushions, along with a new hot tub, installed in late 2021. It's screened in, so you're less likely to get mosquito bitten. It's very secluded and quiet, with a nice wooded view. Because we are not too high on the mountain, we don't have great mountain views. although there are nice views down the valley toward the mountains off the right end of the deck. The plus side of that is that there are no difficult roads to drive to get here.

The front porch has new log furniture as well as a new porch swing. There is also a gate at the top of the porch steps, so if you are traveling with a small child, it's easier to stay safe. Overlooking the front lawn, the porch a great place to relax. The large front lawn is great for picnics or games, or doing some grilling on our new state park style grill. There is a new picnic table near the grill and fire pit. We do have fire wood available, if you’d like to enjoy the fire pit! Adirondack chairs around the fire pit make it easy to enjoy some relaxation outdoors, and the gravel lining the fire pit and picnic area means you won’t find yourself standing in the mud. Or, if you'd like to enjoy a little fishing, at the entrance to our community, there is a private resort pond with a covered dock, for catch and release fishing; the pond is only for the enjoyment of the guests in Goose Creek Resort.

We are located just six miles from Dollywood and the Old Mill, giving you easy access to some of the best attractions in the area! Stop by the Island, less than 4-1/2 miles away, to take a spin on the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. Visit downtown Gatlinburg, only 11 miles farther away, with so much to do it’ll have you planning your next trip! Enjoy mountain air on an easy hike along Boulevard Trail or check out Rainbow Falls Trail and be rewarded with a remarkable view of the highest single-drop waterfall in the Smokies. If you want to spend time in the park with less hiking, Cade's Cove is about a half hour down the road; their 11 mile driving loop offers lots to see and ample opportunities to park, picnic and enjoy the mountain air.

This is a great cabin for a romantic getaway, friends' weekend, or a family vacation. There's plenty of room for everyone, lots to do in the area, and a nice spot if you just want a little down time!

A couple of important things to note:

We do not offer refunds due to weather. We would highly recommend trip insurance to protect your vacation.

Rates are subject to change at any time before a reservation is confirmed.

Fireplace is in operation from October 15 to March 31st only. The fire pit is available year round.

Please, no smoking, for the health and safety of everyone.

Wonderful spring break stay

We had a lovely stay at the fishin bear cabin for our spring break trip to the Smokies. The cabin was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed all the amenities and loved how it was close to pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the park, but in a quiet, wooded space. I'd highly recommend!

Perfect Get Away with a Very Accommodating Host

This is the second time we have stayed her and can’t wait to come back again. You are far enough away from the city to feel secluded, yet only 5-7 minutes away from everything. Dan is the perfect host. We had a question about how to add the “YouTube TV” app so we could log in and watch stuff from our account. Dan immediately dropped what he was doing and came out and added it while we were gone to breakfast l. We plan to bring the entire family next year and we are already talking to Dan about staying in one of his bigger cabins. You cannot find someone better to work with!

We absolutely loved this cabin! Comfortably furnished had everything we needed. We were close to Pigeon Forge but felt isolated in the woods when we returned. We loved the hot tub and used it several times during our stay.

Perfect Fall Visit

Fishin’ Bear is a wonderful cabin. It is a short and easy drive from Pigeon Forge. There are no steep mountain roads to the cabin. The cabin was clean and well-maintained. The hot tub is located on a screened-in deck and provided a relaxing experienced. A washer/dryer is available which is greatly appreciated. The kitchen includes everything needed. We had a slight issue when we arrived. Dan arrived to assist withIn 20 minutes. This was well above my expectations. Thank you for a great place to stay in the mountains!

We had a wonderful & restful stay. Dan was a great host and kept communicating because Hurricane Helene was brewing. There was some local flooding Dan let us know about alternative routes. He also made sure no trees were blocking the toad. We love Wears Valley even in the rain and look forward to returning and would love to stay in this cabin again.

Goose Creek Resort unit D

The cabin was nice and in a fairly quiet place. It could use a deep cleaning. There is hair balls, dead ants, dust and lint on the stairs and the master bathroom floor and mouse turds in the living room and kitchen. The master bathroom tub was also dirty. The patio door doesn't latch/lock to the adjoining door, only the deadbolt lines up. The jets in the master tub don't work and the living room tv wouldn't turn on the first night and wouldn't turn off the second two nights. The upstairs window lock is broken. Other than these issues, we enjoyed the stay.

Pigeon Forge

Very cute and clean cabin. Overall enjoyed our stay there. We had one other couple with us but also think it would be great for a family of 4, 6 people may be tight. Only gave 4 stars for accuracy of online listing because of a couple of the pictures. The driveway was much smaller than the picture and description led us to believe. We had a Ford F-150 and a small Jeep and it was tight. It was manageable but had we brought our bigger trucks it would’ve been a challenge. Only mentioning this so others aren’t surprised. We really had a wonderful time and the cabin was great. There’s lots of outdoor activities to do in the area. Oh, the host was great too. We had a question prior to our arrival and he responded quickly.

Fishin’ Bear Cabin

Nice little cabin. No mountain views, but no crazy mountain roads either! Not too far from Pigeon Forge, easy drive. No place to hang up clothes, but we survived! 😁 It was nice and quiet, except for every once in a while there was a barking dog across the street. It didn’t last long, so it wasn’t really an issue. Comfy beds, just an all around nice stay.

About the host

Hosted by Daniel McDonald

Host profile image
I live in the area, and am excited to have guests come to enjoy all the area has to offer! Whether enjoying the attractions and shopping in town, visiting the National Park for an easy walk or a more challenging hike, or just relaxing in a nice, quiet place, there is something for everyone here.

Why they chose this property

Fishin' Bear is in the Goose Creek Resort. We are a little bit up on the hill, so you have a nice vista of the valley from the front deck, and are close to the pond. It's nice to sit around the firepit and enjoy the serenity of a very quiet neighborhood, or walk for a minute or 2 to sit on the dock and enjoy our little pond.

What makes this property unique

Fishin' Bear is a bit out of town, which makes it really easy to get to the National Park or the attractions in town. The screened in porch for the hot tub is terrific, because you can lounge in the hot tub without getting bug bitten. There's also plenty of room for parking, and a yard if you have kids who want to romp and play a bit. The pond is private, so no state fishing license is required. Please, catch and release, so others can enjoy the experience!
