Enjoy spectacular mountain views from this mountaintop cabin perfectly situated just 4 miles from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and a trolley stop, and just 9 miles from the heart of Gatlinburg! Leave the hustle and bustle of town and unwind on the back porch looking out over Mt. LeConte while enjoying the peace and privacy only a mountaintop cabin can provide. Relax in the large 6-person hot tub while you gaze across the landscape to the beautiful Smoky Mountains.

Bear Claw Vista is a 3 bed 2 bath cabin with a large porch looking out over a panoramic view of the beautiful Smoky Mountains (Great Smoky Mountains National Park). On the first floor you will find two bedrooms, each with a queen-size bed, closet, dresser, and Roku TV. The first floor also offers a recently renovated full bath, washer and dryer, full kitchen with dining table, and living room. Cozy up in front of the wood-burning fireplace, or enjoy a movie on the 55" Roku TV.

Upstairs, there is a 3rd bedroom featuring a king-size bed, closet, dresser, and Roku TV, as well as another full bath and the game loft. The game loft features a 255-game arcade game and an air hockey table that can be converted to a ping pong table. Board games and books are also located upstairs. *All bedrooms have doors (no loft bedrooms).*

While on the back porch, be sure to listen for the faint sounds of the Dollywood train! There is a bar-height table with seating for four, Adirondack chairs, and a bench swing, along with a 6-person hot tub, also located on the back porch.

There is room in the sloped grassy yard for kids to run and play (great for running and rolling, but not great for soccer!) and there is a separate fire pit and grilling area with 6 Adirondack chairs, a park-style grill, and a picnic table.

You will have exclusive access to the entire property during your stay. This includes the cabin, hot tub and porch, yard, fire pit area, and driveway.

This is one of very few cabins in the immediate area. Located near a dead end, the setting is peaceful and serene. The cabin is located just 4 miles from a trolley stop located at Parkway and Dollywood Ln in Pigeon Forge, where you can park and ride. There is parking for three vehicles at the cabin.

Be sure to watch for bears while you are at the cabin or in the surrounding area! *Bears are frequently seen on the property and in the surrounding area starting in March/April each year, after hibernation.* These are wild animals that can endanger life and property. Please do not feed or approach the bears or any wild animals you encounter during your stay.

Bear Claw Vista is personally managed by owners Emily and Kevin. As we are semi-local, we stop by the cabin a couple times a month (between guest stays) to make sure it's clean, organized, and maintained - and that it meets our high standards for our guests. We are easily accessible through messaging and are happy to help make your stay as pleasant and memorable as possible!

Awesome visit for a good deal and great property!!

We loved this cabin! The view of the snow on the mountains was spectacular. The cabin had everything we needed and we really liked having a real wood fire in the fireplace. We would definitely stay here again! The quality of the furnishings and supplies were fantastic and added a nice home style touch!! My kids loved the game room and we were VERY pleased with our stay.This is one of the best places that we have stayed at in a while!!

Great cabin, Epic view

We travel to Smoky Mountain each year and have stayed in numerous cabins - this was by far our favorite and will book again in the future. Bear Claw Vista has it all: truly great panoramic mountain views, spacious back deck with a very nice hot tub, and a convenient location near national park entrances and all the area attractions. The attention to detail in the cabin is top notch, it was very comfortable and clean all around. The owners Kevin and Emily were very attentive and generously stocked the cabin for our stay. We are leaving with a ton of great memories and can’t wait to be back next year!

Best vacation spot ever!

We have been using VRBO for vacation rentals for 15 years. Bear Claw Vista is hands-down the best property that we have ever stayed at! It was conveniently located to almost everything, but it was still secluded. While there are several other cabins in the area, it did not feel like anybody was on top of us. We arrived earlier than check-in (due to the flooding in Kentucky which caused us to cancel our plans there). Emily had the code working for us before we arrived, and the cabin was spotless! There was even a welcome basket of snacks on the counter (my boys were very excited about that)! All of the little things that were taken care of for us meant the world to me. Emily and Kevin's attention to details made this the most relaxing vacation my family has ever taken. The game room and board games that were provided were great for the rainy days (and we had several). All of the furniture was very comfortable, and the beds were divine. We were provided with plenty of linens and a week's supply of all of the basic household necessities. Being chore-free was also a breath of fresh air!We saw a bear crossing the road, near the cabin, on our first day there. The kids were over the moon about seeing a real bear. Then on our last day at the cabin, we had a visitor. There was a bear out by the fire pit, that walked around the cabin, and up to the front door. I have recommended Bear Claw Vista to everyone that I have talked to. We can't wait to come back!

Bear Claw Vista Is the Perfect Escape!!

We loved our stay here! The view from the cabin is amazing – the snow on the mountains was gorgeous! There was so much to do here – we rode a roller coaster and went indoor snow tubing in Pigeon Forge (both were super-close) and checked out all the shops and a cidery in Gatlinburg. Back at the cabin, the wifi worked great. The kids were able to connect their tablets and we were able to stream a movie without any issues. The kids also loved playing air hockey! The cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I wish we had more time to stay!

TN trip

Our stay at the cabin was an unforgettable experience. The cabin itself was a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy, ensuring a restful sleep. The cabin was spotless, and every detail was taken care of, reflecting the thoughtfulness of the host. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the location, offering stunning views and easy access to numerous hiking trails and other acttivites. We enjoyed exploring the natural beauty of the area during the day and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The host was extremely helpful and responsive, ensuring that we had a smooth and comfortable stay. They provided us with detailed information about the area and the various activities available, which greatly enhanced our experience.

Host profile image
Emily and Kevin are semi-local, residing near Johnson City, TN. We strive to provide a top-notch experience for all our guests, so we visit the cabin a couple times a month to ensure that everything is clean, organized, and in good repair. We are excited to share this gorgeous location in the Smokies with you!

Why they chose this property

The cabin is located near the end of a dead-end road, nestled within the Smokies. It is close to everything, but secluded and peaceful. When you're outside, you can't help but take in the gorgeous mountain view, and you might be able to hear the whistle from the Dollywood Express!

What makes this property unique

The view from Bear Claw Vista cannot be beat! You'll have a panoramic view of the Smoky Mountains year 'round. The cabin is very secluded, and the only traffic that passes by are any guests staying at the one cabin beyond ours.
