Why the Owner Chose Pigeon Forge
The Pigeon Forge area offers such a wide variety of things to do. From hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with its awesome vistas, to visiting one of the many live shows, to shopping at any of the wonderful outlet stores in search of that great bargain we are always able to find something to keep us busy no matter what the season!
In the years before buying Bear Haven, we actually rented several cabins on our road. It was such a peaceful and quiet location yet so convenient to the Parkway and all the activities! When we finally decided to purchase a cabin we looked at dozens of cabins but always migrated back to this area. In the end, it was an easy decision - our hearts were here!
The Unique Benefits at this Cabin
Relax, renew and refresh! What more can I say? The view of Mt. LeConte from our screened deck is absolutely awesome! No matter what the season the view is beautiful. In winter, there is a chance you will see the distant mountain tops covered in snow. Come spring and everything is budding out in the brightest of greens. Summertime reveals the mature deep greens of all the trees and in the fall they put on their brightest colors - rich reds, oranges, and golds!
And the best part is that all of this is just minutes from the Parkway so when you have recharged your spirits you can get back to all the activities in no time at all!
Eleven mile one way loop. Restored buildings, hiking, picnic grounds, wildlife viewing.

We have spent the Christmas Holiday at Bear Haven for 3 of the last 4 years. We always have a wonderful experience. The view is amazing. We enjoy sitting in the hot tub and looking over the mountains as the sun rises. I would recommend Bear Haven to anyone who wants to visit the Smokey Mountains. Thank you Ms. Peggy for the pleasure of visiting your cabin.

I have to admit I was alittle skeptical of my choice of Bear Haven since I normally only stay at places I've been before....but it was a wonderful choice..the view is better than any place I've stayed before...decorated beautifully..and that personal touch made it feel like home...I would recommend this to all ages...we had two teenagers and they loved it. We will stay here on all our future trips.

Bear Haven was just what my husband and I needed...A beautiful, peaceful, relaxing cabin just minutes away from Pigeon Forge. Peggy was so helpful with information about the area and things to do. We were so happy with the cabin, and the special touches (fall decor and dog biscuits) made it that much nicer. We look forward to staying at Bear Haven again!

We had a wonderful stay at Bear Haven cabin.The owners are very pleasant to deal with and have done a awesome job in decorating the cabin and have thought of everything you could possibly need or want. The view is so beautiful and we spent a lot of time on the porch just listening to and observing the beauty of nature. We look forward to a return visit.

My wife and son stayed for a week at this wonderful Haven. The view of the mountains from the large screened in deck will take your breath away. The cabin was wonderful. The parking area is flat with easy access to the door. The cabin is decorated very well. We felt very comfortable there for a week. Hardwood floors, nice furniture, great lighting, top notch appliances, new central air and furnace, great chairs on the deck, fabulous hot tub, . . . everything was great. The location was perfect. We were just a 10 minutes from the strip in Pigeon Forge, and yet when we were at the cabin, it seemed we were in the middle of the Smokies. We've been in all 50 states and several countries, and have never had a better view than from the deck of the cabin. It was so peaceful and relaxing. We spent much of our time sitting on the deck soaking up the view. The wifi works great, so we were able to do a little work while enjoying the view. We even Skyped into a meeting while sitting on the deck. I can't say enough good things about Bear Haven. Peggy was very quick to respond to emails or phone calls if you needed anything and quickly refunded our deposit when we got back home. I can guarantee that you will create a pleasant and lasting memory staying here.

We just returned from a wonderful time at Bear Haven. First off Peggy is VERY helpful. She took the time to send me links for some fantastic savings for our family to purchase tickets to local things we wanted to do. She is a wealth of information. Now on to the cabin. Drive up for the first time is breathtaking.....both in the fear of driving up the mountain and the amazing view. Drivers beware it is a ways up the mountain..on the positive side of that the view is unbelievable. The area has lots of trees and you feel like to are really in the mountains. The cabin itself is just beautiful. It is comfortable for all. We traveled in with 8 adults and 2 dogs and never felt cramped. The decor of Bear Haven just makes you feel cozy. Cabin was nice & clean when we arrived. Also, Peggy has it stocked with all the things you may have forgotten, especially in the kitchen. Full size washer & dryer a great plus. I would highly recommend this cabin & owner to everyone. The only thing I can say that we were disappointed in was having to leave :) We stayed 7 nights and it was positively NOT ENOUGH. If you can, stay a couple of weeks, there is just so much to do and not enough time to just sit on the back deck.

My family and I stayed at Bear Haven the last week of July. The cabin was very clean and had everything we needed. My favorite part was the back porch overlooking the beautiful mountains...the view was amazing and the perfect place to sit in a rocking chair and read a good book. Peggy was a very easy person to work with and provided all the information we needed to make this an easy vacation. We decided one week wasn't really enough time to do everything we wanted to do. It's a quick drive to the Parkway in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We ate breakfast several times at the Log Cabin Pancake House...the white chocolate pancakes were a big hit. The guys all went on an overnight hike/camping trip and had a great time. We definitely would like to rent this cabin again and will recommend it to anyone planning a vacation to the area.
