Very nice cabin
The cabin was very nice! The hot tub was a nice extra. Laundry on site was great because we did a lot of hiking in the park and needed to wash/dry things. It’s very convenient to the park as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Loved the authentic cabin feel!

Home away from home
The Curious Bear was the perfect cabin for our family of 4! Our boys loved the loft bedroom and hot tub. Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions we had before we booked, checked on us after our first night and wished us a safe trip home! It was clean, decorated with fall decor and better than what we expected. 😊

Perfect location!
We loved it! It is just about ideal location wise, being right between Pidgeon Forge and Gatlinburg. And despite being so close to all the activity, it still felt very remote and removed. The king size bed was so comfy too! The place is clean and well appointed. Instructions were clear for check in/check out. It was a very nice stay. Our only negative is that the kid bedroom area upstairs is an open loft, so that bedroom has no way of shutting out the light/noise from the living room. We had to hang out in the bedroom and give the kids some time to fall asleep before we could 'sneak out' and use the hot tub in the evening. Also if you have very young kids (early walkers), the stair case and bed set up might not be friendly. Our 3 year old did fall out of the twin bed once. She was fine, but it is something to keep in mind. Over all though, we loved it. We'd definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area again. :)

A real treat
this cabin gets very good ratings but you just never know. In my opinion, every single one was spot on. We traveled with our dog Tedi and she is 70 lbs. While staying in a cabin called "curious bear", traveling with a dog may seem like a bad idea. It wasn't. There was plenty to do in town with her and even just hanging at the cabin was great. We didn't see a bear all weekend thinking they might have smelled Tedi. But, right before we left, we saw a bear and her cubs. Tedi was not close to the bears and barked like crazy. very exciting and not scary because we were given good information about the area. don't miss this little jewel!

Summer trip
We extended our summer vacation by making a quick little stop in Gatlinburg! This cabin was the best! Besides being clean, comfy beds, the location was great, close to everything but also gives you the quietness of nature. My kids didn’t want to leave!! Hoping next year we can do it again!

Beautiful cabin!
We were very pleased with the cabin. It was clean and very cozy. We liked how close it was to everything but loved that it was secluded and quiet. The views of the smokies were amazing. We even saw a bear on the property and a bobcat. We did use the hot tub on a couple of cooler nights and loved sitting and taking in the views. We would definitely come back and stay here!

Excellent Property
The property, which apparently was recently redone, is in excellent condition and well-appointed. There are actually plenty of electrical outlets! The interior was in excellent/line new shape and perfect for myself and my two grandsons. The view from the deck is very good and the location quiet while being convenient. The owner was very responsive in communications. I highly recommend this property.

Very comfortable; accommodating hosts!
The cabin was great! All the amenities you could want! The master bed was SO comfortable and afforded us GREAT nights sleep! The hosts were most accommodating!! We didnt try the tram into town, but wish we had! Parking in town was not only expensive, but very hard to find at times! The only thing that would have made it better is if the pet fees were even 50 to 75% refundable if no damage was found, but, I knew that it wasnt refundable when I booked. Many other cabins i found did offer refunds of pet fee deposit. My 10 pound chihuahua who stayed in her own crate overnight and while we were away did no damage and never has accidents, but, I agreed to that in the contract, just wish it were even 50% refundable, when no damage caused. But other than that, cabin was GREAT! Be aware, there are only 2 hiking trails in the area where dogs are permitted, for those traveling with a dog.

Relaxing Retreat
This cabin is a great place to stay. The cabin is very clean and has all the essentials. We loved sitting on the front and back porch watching the birds and admiring the Mountain Views. The location is really central to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge as well as the park. The cabin was the perfect place to unwind after the business of the days. Don’t hesitate to stay here! If we find ourselves in the Smoky mountains again we would like to return.

Best Cabin for our Anniversary
This cabin was perfect for our 20th wedding anniversary. Bonus was having 2 bathrooms so i could have my own space. Best part was the hot tub for sure!!. Location was perfect for going to either Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. Definitely recommend this cabin for couples or small families. Hope some day to come back and enjoy again.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
We started coming to the Smokies in 2006 and have come back every year since. We finally decided this is where we want to spend our retirement. But we still have some years until that happens so we decided to buy a cabin ourselves, With the hopes of staying and sharing it with others until we make the big move for good. We love everything about Tennessee & are so happy to share it with you

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin in Gatlinburg because we love being close to the town and all the festivals and action, yet we are in in a private area secluded and surrounded by nature. You get the best of both worlds. We have been visiting Gatlinburg for 10 years now and there is always new and old things we cant wait to do each time we are here. You will love the area and all the things to do.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of how private the location is yet you are 5 minutes to town. The cabin decks are a great place to sit with your morning coffee and breathe the mountain air. Being minutes to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and in the middle of nature its truly a wonderful place to relax and unwind
