Close proximity to downtown Gatlinburg!

The Bear's Den is a true log cabin in the heart of Gatlinburg. Whether it be the cozy cabin decor or the beautiful mountain view, we think that you will love our mountain getaway. Only 3 miles from downtown, you will easily be able to enjoy all of the attractions! Or, stay in and enjoy the privacy next to the fireplace or in the brand new hot tub. In the summer time, the resort also offers two pools, one of which is walking distance from the property. There is also a nearby playground for the kids and pavilion for entertaining. We love our repeat guests and hope that you will make the Bear's Den your home away from home in the Smokies!
The cabin is air-conditioned and features a kitchen and a balcony, and there's space to spread out with 2 bedrooms. Guests can enjoy a Smart TV and stay connected with free WiFi. Other standard amenities include a washing machine, a fireplace, and a coffee maker.

By far one of the best VRBO interactions we have ever had. The host went over and beyond to communicate quickly, help us get checked in conveniently and made sure we were taken care of and enjoyed our stay. There were so many little touches such as soaps and shampoos , even laundry detergent for starter loads as well as hot cocoa and coffees ready to go. A bear came up to our cabin and we were thrilled! This is how every VRBO host should be but unfortunately isn’t. Highly recommend! Thank you for everything

Very convenient place to stay for soccer tournaments

Our stay was very pleasant. The house is extremely clean. Very close (within 5 min.)to Rocky Top Sports World. Doesn’t take long to get to the cabin from main road, so not having to drive all the way up a mountain was a plus! The bedroom downstairs is only a full and not very comfortable. The upstairs bed was way better and bigger. Perfect for up to 4 people.

Loved this lil place. Nice, quiet and cozy spot to decompress. The fireplace didn't work for us during our stay but the host was made aware and responded quickly. The cabin is equipped with basic necessities and the hot tub is a great feature. We definitely would stay here again. 5 days did not seem long enough!
