About this property

Mama Bear 'Wheelchair Friendly' Retreat

Welcome to your premier mountain retreat, where luxury meets comfort in a warm and inviting atmosphere—perfect for families and groups eager to relax, unwind, and explore near Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Sevierville's top attractions.

Spread across three spacious, thoughtfully designed levels, this cabin blends relaxation and recreation while ensuring wheelchair-friendly access to the main and lower levels.

Start your day with breathtaking mountain views from the large deck, furnished with five rocking chairs, or gather around the fire pit surrounded by eight Adirondack chairs for cozy evenings.
The screened-in back porch offers plenty of seating, including a dining table and chairs, a kids’ log picnic table with bench seats, 8 additional porch chairs, plus a 5-person hot tub—ideal for stargazing and soaking away the day’s adventures.

The upper level is your private sanctuary, featuring a peaceful king suite with an attached bath.
Also upstairs, a loft area provides a desk, office chair, and jet-ink printer for those needing to catch up on work, alongside a comfy recliner for quiet moments.

On the main level, enjoy an open-concept living space with a sectional sofa boasting power reclining seats, a cozy fireplace, a dining area, and a fully stocked and equipped kitchen with stainless steel appliances and granite countertops.
This floor also includes a wheelchair-accessible king bedroom with a private shower-bath, a queen bedroom, and a convenient hallway tub/shower bath with direct access to the rear screened porch and hot tub.
The front porch and expansive deck, both lined with rocking chairs, complete this welcoming level.

The lower level amps up the fun with a game room featuring a pool table and assorted games, plus a recreational room with sleeping accommodations—a fourth bedroom area with two queen sleeper sofas and bunk beds—perfect for family movie nights.
A gas fireplace and shower-bath add to the comforts here, while a lower-level patio with two log rocking chairs and a swing invite you outdoors.

Set on over half an acre amidst 80 acres of serene woodland, this property balances peaceful seclusion with easy access to the areas exciting attractions.
With nearly 3,000 square feet indoors and an additional 1,400 square feet of porches and decks, there’s ample space for everyone to spread out and savor the mountain ambiance.

Inside, rustic elegance shines with hand-scraped hardwood floors, two gas fireplaces, and every modern comfort you desire.
Outside, grill enthusiasts can enjoy a Weber gas grill (gas provided) and a charcoal grill (charcoal provided), along with abundant seating for alfresco dining.

This retreat prioritizes accessibility and family-friendly amenities, including wheelchair ramps, wide-open spaces, an accessible bathroom, a high chair, pack ’n play, baby gates, toddler seat, and vanity step for the little ones.

Additional extras ensure a seamless stay: upgraded insulation for year-round comfort, an automatic backup generator, deluxe water filtration system, Level 2 EV charger, and parking for up to six vehicles.

Whether you are soaking in the hot tub, sharing stories by the fire pit with firewood provided, or adventuring in the breathtaking Smoky Mountains, this cabin promises an unforgettable and effortless getaway.


Adding extra charm and versatility, the detached 250-square-foot “Bunkie” is a unique bonus space loaded with entertainment: PlayStation 4, video games, a slot machine, and two day beds—ideal for kids or quiet downtime. The Bunkie is climate-controlled but lacks plumbing; however, the cabin's nearby lower-level bathroom is easily accessible.

The cabin was well stocked with loads of things to do for everyone. It had everything I needed for cooking simple meals and several things that surprised me, like a waffle iron! The Pack N Play, changing table and high chair were nice for the baby.The mountain view was lovely, especially covered in an unexpected snow. There were some roosters somewhere within earshot. I listened to them while enjoying beautiful sunrises from the deck.

Perfect Smoky Mountain Getaway!We had an amazing stay — the cabin was spotless, comfortable, and exactly as described. Plenty of space for 5 adults to relax without feeling crowded. The kitchen was well stocked, and we loved spending evenings by the fireplace and mornings taking in the mountain views from the deck. Easy drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but still felt private and peaceful. The hosts were responsive and made everything smooth from check-in to checkout. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a cozy mountain escape!

The cabin was great! The check in and out process was were easy. Plenty of space and amenities for the 5 adults and 3 kids on our trip. We had 2 seniors with some mobility issues and the handicapped accessible areas were perfect. The porches and fire pit area were wonderful and the kids really enjoyed the gaming areas. The kitchen and grill areas are very well equipped for all your cooking needs. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again if we are in the area.

Beyond impressive experience. The cabin is everything described, but beyond that the host was phenomenal. Over communicated and assured that if there was anything not to our liking they would have it rectified immediately. There were no issues. They thought if everything from some small snacks to plenty of firewood for the fire pit so we didn’t have to worry about finding or purchasing any. Overall this experience was a 10 out of 10.
