Perfection!

Before arriving, all communication from owners was very thorough and helpful. The cabin was easy to find with a great location! Our family of four loved our stay. It was clean, comfortable and very cozy! We enjoyed the amenities the cabin offered including the laundry, kitchen and of course, the hot tub. Overall, a wonderful cabin!

Beautiful cabin

Cabin is in like new condition. According to the owner it had burnt and rebuilt in 2017. The amenities were in excess of what other cabins we had rented in the past. Coffee being supplied was a plus. Cabin is exactly as portrayed. We will definitely be back.

Very nice cabin

The cabin was very nice! The hot tub was a nice extra. Laundry on site was great because we did a lot of hiking in the park and needed to wash/dry things. It’s very convenient to the park as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Loved the authentic cabin feel!

Home away from home

The Curious Bear was the perfect cabin for our family of 4! Our boys loved the loft bedroom and hot tub. Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions we had before we booked, checked on us after our first night and wished us a safe trip home! It was clean, decorated with fall decor and better than what we expected. 😊

Summer trip

We extended our summer vacation by making a quick little stop in Gatlinburg! This cabin was the best! Besides being clean, comfy beds, the location was great, close to everything but also gives you the quietness of nature. My kids didn’t want to leave!! Hoping next year we can do it again!

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

We started coming to the Smokies in 2006 and have come back every year since. We finally decided this is where we want to spend our retirement. But we still have some years until that happens so we decided to buy a cabin ourselves, With the hopes of staying and sharing it with others until we make the big move for good. We love everything about Tennessee & are so happy to share it with you

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin in Gatlinburg because we love being close to the town and all the festivals and action, yet we are in in a private area secluded and surrounded by nature. You get the best of both worlds. We have been visiting Gatlinburg for 10 years now and there is always new and old things we cant wait to do each time we are here. You will love the area and all the things to do.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of how private the location is yet you are 5 minutes to town. The cabin decks are a great place to sit with your morning coffee and breathe the mountain air. Being minutes to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and in the middle of nature its truly a wonderful place to relax and unwind
