Why the Owner Chose Forest Springs
The Bear's Den, a true log cabin, has the absolute best location for visiting the Smoky Mountain area sights and attractions. Very few cabins or chalets have this perfect blend of setting and convenience. You will feel as if you are miles from anywhere, but you're only one mile off the main Parkway linking Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
This true log cabin offers all the luxuries of vacation living while keeping that down home Smoky Mountain feel. Enjoy the fresh mountain air and wooded view from your front porch rockers or while relaxing in the hot tub. Inside, the Great Room features a cathedral ceiling and a gas-log fireplace surrounded by windows so you can enjoy a view of the great outdoors.
The stacked stone fireplace and comfortable furnishings make for cozy living. Distinctive touches like the "lodge" fabrics of the sleeper sofa and recliner, oak tables and chairs, and beautifully framed prints in the great room set this well appointed cabin apart. The Bear's Den's all wood interior will give you that true log cabin feel.
The kitchen in this beautiful log home is fully equipped, including a dishwasher, microwave, coffee maker, and convenient stacked washer and dryer.

Brian and Angie Davis live in Bloomington, IL and have owned the Bear's Den since 2002. Just like many of our guests, we love to visit the Smoky Mountains and all of the attractions in and arround the Gatlinburg, TN area.
We visit the Bear's Den at least three times a year to make SURE that everything is up to our standards. We know how important it is to have everything clean, working, and looking just like you expected!
I'm an avid photographer, so Angie and I love to spend time sightseeing and hiking new trails . . .always with a camera close at hand.

A Relaxing Retreat

That's hard to say with having young kids there - but it was so relaxing. We had a full house but we all had plenty of room to relax. Whether it was taking a little stroll, enjoying the area from the rocking chairs, or sitting inside reading a good book. Hard to believe - but the tv was not used and the connections to the internet we found easy. We had a great time seeing all of the sites and really enjoying the cabin. The hot tub was a great adult retreat after the kids were asleep. It took a long time to drive there but it was well worth it. We really want to stay there again!

We came here the morning after our wedding and loved it! We have told everybody about Jackson Mountain Homes. The Bear's Den was nice and very clean which I was especially happy to see as we've been to some places and had to clean them when we got there. The location was the best of both worlds; it was super convenient, but once you got to the cabin there you couldn't tell that you weren't miles from civilization. http://www.flipkey.com/gatlinburg-cabin-rentals/p40472/#pdp-reviews-nav

Great trip. Lots of nice details in the cabin. 2nd night, 7' black bear raided the garbage bin. He was unsuccesful because of the latch but he did get his claws inside and ripped the can liner. Much better than any of the thrill rides in town! We were most appreciative of being able to relax in a well stocked, well located, clean and attractive cabin. Particularly thankful that no tobacco smoke or pet odor. Nice clean air! Thank you.

We had a wonderful time with our friends who met us down here. They traveled from Mi. and us from al. The cabin was great. Very well stocked and convenient to everything. So close to downtown and the Park but felt like we were out in the country. Very peaceful except at 2:00 am when the bear woke us up trying to get into the trash the first night we were there. He really was loud! The next night we were all sitting on the porch and he came walking down the hill. He came in front of the cabin and went all the way around to the trash and checked it out and loped on up the other hill. It was so neat seeing him. We saw more bears this year than we ever have. Saw a mother and her cub along the road in the woods. It was a terrific trip and we would definitely stay here again.

We can't say enough good things about the Bear's Den and the services provided by JMH. The cabin was spotless. We were really impressed with the cleaning staff of JMH. No matter who you talk to at Jackson Mountain Homes, they are always friendly and wanting to please their customers. The Bear's Den is in a perfect location for us since it is minutes from downtown Gatlinburg but out far enough that you can get away from the bustle of town. The cabin is stocked with everything you need, plus some! The owners have done an outstanding job with decorating the cabin. From FlipKey: http://www.flipkey.com/gatlinburg-cabin-rentals/p40472/

My husband and I were guests at the Bear's Den from August 7th until August 14th. Our daughter got married on August 6th and we were looking for a place to rest and relax after that event. I found the Bear's Den on vrbo.com and fell in love with the house the first time I saw it. It was exactly what we wanted: a house to relax in that was located somewhere peaceful and quiet. That's exactly what the Bear's Den was for us. It was located just about ten minutes* from Gatlinburg but you could not hear the hustle and bustle of Main Street. The house was clean and for a week felt like our "home away from home." Upon arrival,the people at Jackson Mountain Homes were friendly and very accommodating. We even received a basket of goodies from the owners thanking us for choosing the Bear's Den. This vacation will always be a very special memory for us. It allowed us to rest after a very busy, but happy, time in our lives. We would love to return and stay at the Bear's Den again someday. (* Owner's Note: The Bear's Den is IN Gatlinburg and 1 mile off the main Parkway thru downtown - Stoplight 3)

Best place we ever stayed in the Smokies! Jmh is a friendly rental company that it is a pleasure to do business with. They truly want to please. The Bear's Den is a cozy, beautifully decorated cabin that is close to area attractions and the Gsmnp. The kitchen is well supplied with everything you need. The owners have thought of every detail to make their cabin feel like "home away from home." We wouldn't think of renting any other cabin!!!
