Really nice place to stay. Really close to all attractions but secluded enough to make you feel alone. Owners were very nice and easy to get in touch with. They decorated for Christmas which made it feel like home. Pool table, game machine and hot tub so your never board. We were very happy and this home is definitely on our list!

I would highly recommend Bear Paws. The house is wonderful. It has three floors. There was eight of us, but the house is so roomy you aren’t cramped up. The grandchildren loved the hot tub and all of the downstairs items to play with. Thank you for allowing us to stay.

Wonderful place

The house was clean and so comfortable. After a hectic day with a 2 year old running around Pigeon Forge, it was a peaceful retreat at the end of the day. It was minutes away from anything we wanted to do, and the Bear theme was present throughout the house, which was also fun with a young child. Would definitely stay there again
