About this property

Fishin' Bear - Enjoy Fall and Winter in the Smokies!

Welcome to Fishin' Bear, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin in the Goose Creek Resort, minutes outside Pigeon Forge. This cabin sleeps 6. It's just far enough away from the bustle of the Parkway, while still being within 10 to 15 minutes drive of most everything. The hot tub on the screened in porch is a great way to unwind after a day sightseeing or hiking!

With easy paved road access (no mountains to climb) while maintaining a country setting, you’ll spend less time driving and more time having fun! This cabin is in a serene, low traffic, wooded area on a nice hillside, with a large parking area for your cars.

As soon as you enter Fishin' Bear, you’ll be amazed at how modern, beautiful and comfortable this cabin is. The expansive living room features beautiful wood tones, a stone fireplace with gas logs, cozy décor and a cathedral ceiling with accent painted exposed beams that creates an open, spacious atmosphere. The wide plank hardwood floor has just been refinished with a specialty method to give it a tiger striped appearance, which gives a natural warmth to the cabin. I do hope you'll take a minute to look at and appreciate it.

The main floor has a living room with a sleeper sofa and comfortable seating; the gas log fireplace is seasonally available. Cable TV and WiFi are included, along with a DVD player, should you want to enjoy one of our classic and fun videos. French doors out to the screened in deck add to the airy feeling of this cabin, and the windows illuminating the second story above the French doors make the cabin bright and cheery even on gloomy days! There are white drapes over the French doors in case you want to close them, while maintaining a bright feeling.

The kitchen is recently remodeled, with all new cabinets, granite countertops, and stainless steel appliances, including refrigerator, stove and dishwasher, and full of the dishes and cooking necessities to keep you happy through your stay. The dining table has plenty of room for everyone, while the breakfast bar is perfect for grabbing a quick bite before adventuring out for the day. The cabin also has a washer and dryer, so if you want to do a quick load of laundry, it's very convenient. We do provide a couple of laundry pods, but if you're going to do a lot of laundry, you might want to bring more.

This neighborhood has a community water system, and we have installed a state of the art water purification system. This cleans the water, removing any trace of odors which might be noticed in other cabins, while not adding chlorine or other chemicals to your drinking, washing and showering water.

The master bedroom holds a king sized bed and unique furnishings, including dressers to hold your belongings, and a hall tree with mirror. The master bath has just been completely renovated, with a nice vanity, great lighting and amazing, oversized triangular jacuzzi tub with integrated hand-held shower. The second bedroom has a queen sized bed, wall mounted TV and country style furnishings, including bedside lamps for those who want to read a little before bed and a comfortable reading chair. The attached bath has a nice vanity with lots of light, and a tub with shower behind tempered glass doors. Both bathrooms include antibacterial hand soap on the sinks, along with travel sized bottles of shampoo and shower gel.

On the deck you'll find comfortable rockers with new cushions, along with a new hot tub, installed in late 2021. It's screened in, so you're less likely to get mosquito bitten. It's very secluded and quiet, with a nice wooded view. Because we are not too high on the mountain, we don't have great mountain views. although there are nice views down the valley toward the mountains off the right end of the deck. The plus side of that is that there are no difficult roads to drive to get here.

The front porch has new log furniture as well as a new porch swing. There is also a gate at the top of the porch steps, so if you are traveling with a small child, it's easier to stay safe. Overlooking the front lawn, the porch a great place to relax. The large front lawn is great for picnics or games, or doing some grilling on our new state park style grill. There is a new picnic table near the grill and fire pit. We do have fire wood available, if you’d like to enjoy the fire pit! Adirondack chairs around the fire pit make it easy to enjoy some relaxation outdoors, and the gravel lining the fire pit and picnic area means you won’t find yourself standing in the mud. Or, if you'd like to enjoy a little fishing, at the entrance to our community, there is a private resort pond with a covered dock, for catch and release fishing; the pond is only for the enjoyment of the guests in Goose Creek Resort.

We are located just six miles from Dollywood and the Old Mill, giving you easy access to some of the best attractions in the area! Stop by the Island, less than 4-1/2 miles away, to take a spin on the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. Visit downtown Gatlinburg, only 11 miles farther away, with so much to do it’ll have you planning your next trip! Enjoy mountain air on an easy hike along Boulevard Trail or check out Rainbow Falls Trail and be rewarded with a remarkable view of the highest single-drop waterfall in the Smokies. If you want to spend time in the park with less hiking, Cade's Cove is about a half hour down the road; their 11 mile driving loop offers lots to see and ample opportunities to park, picnic and enjoy the mountain air.

This is a great cabin for a romantic getaway, friends' weekend, or a family vacation. There's plenty of room for everyone, lots to do in the area, and a nice spot if you just want a little down time!

Installation of a dedicated Level 2 EV charging outlet is planned for this fall. Updates will be provided; if you're interested in visiting here with an electric vehicle, please let us know.

A couple of important things to note:

We do not offer refunds due to weather. We would highly recommend trip insurance to protect your vacation.

Fireplace is in operation from October 15 to March 31st only. The fire pit is available year round.

The cabin is at an easy to access spot pretty close to all main attractions in pigeon forge. It was clean, the floors were super slippery and the walls are a bit thin you could hear people talking in the other room or hear the tvs on. But overall a nice stay

Cozy Cabin

This cabin was located far enough from the city that it felt secluded, but was close enough that you could easily and quickly get to the city and National Park. It was very clean and peaceful. The host had clear communication leading up to our visit and the cabin was clean. It was perfect for our family of four. Highly recommend this cabin for small families looking for seclusion and privacy, but also in close proximity to town and the NP.

Wonderful spring break stay

We had a lovely stay at the fishin bear cabin for our spring break trip to the Smokies. The cabin was exceptionally clean. We enjoyed all the amenities and loved how it was close to pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the park, but in a quiet, wooded space. I'd highly recommend!

My family and I stayed a week. We really enjoyed our time, even with a day or two just chilling at the cabin and enjoying the fully stocked campfire area, or relaxing in the hot tub. Thank you for a wonderful stay in the Pigeon Forge area! This was our second time back to this same cabin!

Great little cabin in the woods!

The cabin was perfect for our stay! We had 3 adults and 2 kids, and the cabin was the perfect size. It felt remote and relaxing, but also wasn’t too far from local stores and attractions. The owner was very accommodating, he even stopped by 10 min after I sent him a message to address a concern I had, which was really appreciated! Definitely recommend for your next vacation to the smoky mountains!

Relaxing!!!

The cabin was exactly as described! It is far enough out that it was peaceful and quiet, but close enough to do anything in Pigeon Forge or Sevierville if you want. We found some great places to eat close by and brought every meal back to the cabin to enjoy each other and relax! Thanks for giving us the rest and relaxation we needed!

This cabin was such a wonderful experience! The cabin we initially rented fell thru the day of check in leaving us 10 hours from home with no where to stay. This lovely cabin saved our trip. The host was so kind and helpful and the cabin was picturesque with it's Christmas lights and decor, cozy fireplace, comfy beds and beautiful atmosphere, we will certainly be back!

Perfect Weekend

We were extremely pleased with this property. We had a few questions before we arrived and got answers back within an hour. The property was extremely clean and very well maintained. It is located far enough away that you don’t feel like you are in the city, while being close enough to everything we wanted to see. We will definitely stay here every time we come to Pigeon Forge.

Great location

I was worried that the cabin would be too far out of town but it’s not! It’s in a wooded area just outside of town so you get the mountain cabin experience without having to drive too far for the other activities. Very quiet area as well. The cabin is very nicely decorated and updated. King size bed downstairs was very comfortable. I slept great! Hot tub and jacuzzi tub were also very nice. Great stay!

Cabin was very clean, well stocked with supplies, beds were comfortable, updated, great location. Owner was very responsive to our 1 problem (vent fan was making a horrible noise upon arrival. If i could change 1 thing shower is located inside the jacuzzi tub, there are 2 safety handles to assist getting into the tub/shower combo and there is a shower upstairs that is easier to get into. I would absolutely book this cabin again!

About the host

Hosted by Daniel McDonald

Host profile image
I live in the area, and am excited to have guests come to enjoy all the area has to offer! Whether enjoying the attractions and shopping in town, visiting the National Park for an easy walk or a more challenging hike, or just relaxing in a nice, quiet place, there is something for everyone here.

Why they chose this property

Fishin' Bear is in the Goose Creek Resort. We are a little bit up on the hill, so you have a nice vista of the valley from the front deck, and are close to the pond. It's nice to sit around the firepit and enjoy the serenity of a very quiet neighborhood, or walk for a minute or 2 to sit on the dock and enjoy our little pond.

What makes this property unique

Fishin' Bear is a bit out of town, which makes it really easy to get to the National Park or the attractions in town. The screened in porch for the hot tub is terrific, because you can lounge in the hot tub without getting bug bitten. There's also plenty of room for parking, and a yard if you have kids who want to romp and play a bit. The pond is private, so no state fishing license is required. Please, catch and release, so others can enjoy the experience!
