Great views, very clean and close to everything in Gatlinburg. Didn’t realize that check in was exactly at 4:00 so we were unable to get in when we arrived at 3:30. Make sure you have a cooler for your groceries if you arrive to early or your ice cream will melt. We still managed and had a great time!

We loved our stay here! Great views and great location. The main strip was about a 10 minute drive with paid parking at the bottom of the hill, which makes it easy to get in and out. The kids and I had a blast watching college football and playing pool in the game room. Lastly, the hot tub was amazing after a long day of hiking or walking the strip. Highly recommend and will definitely stay here again.

The Bear Den Retreat was amazing. We still can not believe we saw bears every day! I kept noticing how many cabins did not have our amazing view, I would go back for that alone. Check in was easy, the cabin was clean and ready for our week vacation as a family! I loved waking up every morning and drinking my coffee looking for bears and at the Rocky Mountains. The roads were winding and steep at times, but the flat parking was perfect and our mini van did great! We loved the community pools and our own game room with the video games and pool table was awesome! We also loved the hot tub on the deck as well, perfect ending for our non stop days! It was close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and the Smoky National Park. Overall amazing stay that I would highly recommend!

great view
The cabin was as pictured. Everything was very nice and well equipped. Maintained very well. Only a very short drive down the hills to Gatlinburg. Would definitely stay here again.
