We had a group of 10 and enjoyed a fabulous time at this cabin. Beautiful. Great location and they provided so many amenities. We had a wonderful time. We spent more time at the cabin than actually in Gatlinburgh. The area was quiet. We adopted the neighborhood bear. He is a big fella. Definitely follow the wild life rules. Kudos to the management team for their excellent communication. We will definitely stay here again.

Host quickly responded to all questions and was most welcoming. The cabin was beautiful and just as described. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, game room and living room. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended, and we were a group of 10.

Thank you so much for this great review and thanks for taking such good care of the cabin. Come back anytime.
We enjoyed our time at the cabin. The weather didn’t cooperate to be outside much but, there was so much to do in the cabin we didn’t mind the down time! One small issue during our stay but the owner was very quick to respond! We would definitely stay here again!

We had such a wonderful time staying here! The house was beautiful and exactly what we needed. It was super close to Gatlinburg and in the mountains without having to drive 20 mins uphill. Cute local shops are nearby. If you have dogs, there aren’t many open flat places for them to use the bathroom. But there is a dog park 0.3 miles away that was wonderful! Also, this area was visited by black bears every single day that we were there. One showed up under our porch and walked around the front of the hous. One even got into my niece’s car because she had an uncrustable in there! Luckily it didn’t do any damage to our vehicle besides get it dirty. But the day we were leaving a man across the street also had his car broken into, but was not as lucky as we were. So my advice is keep your car doors locked, keep all food and drinks out of your vehicles. When you’re in the house, also keep those doors locked even when you’re there. Even though there were many houses around, the back porch still felt very private because there’s lots of trees in front and it’s difficult to see the other houses unless you’re looking around for them. Checking in and out were very easy and simple. I love the numeric keypad for locking the door. Our hosts were very responsive and texting back-and-forth with them was super convenient. Overall, we truly enjoyed our stay and would definitely come back!
This cabin was exactly as listed! Location was great!! We were far enough away from everything, but also close enough for all the fun! Would definitely recommend this location!!

Thanks, Scarlet!
We feel the same way. Gatlinburg's Arts and Crafts area is like a Hidden Gem, being so close to everything yet still feeling like you are in the mountains.
Please come see us again or come visit our Destin location. We would love to have you.

Worked very well for our group of 15. Highly recommend. Host was very receptive to my texts. Be aware almost daily visits from black bears, which was awesome. Parking was a bit tight if you have bigger vehicles.

ABOUT YOU We're Mark and Amanda, Tennessee locals and the owners of GSM Family Vacations. We have two properties: Bear's Wilderness Lodge in Gatlinburg and Papaya Paradise in Destin. Amanda is a travel writer at VeraVise Outdoor Living, and between the two of us we've spent years exploring the Smokies — the trails, the hidden breakfast spots, the drives worth taking and the ones to skip. We're available Monday through Saturday 10am to 6pm EST and genuinely enjoy helping guests make the most of their time here. Ask us anything about the area.
Why they chose this property
We built Bear's Wilderness Lodge around one idea: a big family should be able to vacation together without anyone drawing the short straw on their bedroom. Every bed is a king. Every bathroom is full. The main-level bedroom means grandparents or guests with mobility needs aren't stuck navigating stairs. The lower-level bedroom puts the teenagers next to the game room and theater where they want to be anyway. The location inside Gatlinburg city limits is something we're genuinely proud of. You're close to everything — Arts & Crafts District, Rocky Top Sports World, downtown, the national park — without the steep mountain roads that make some Gatlinburg cabins stressful to arrive at and leave. City water with no sulfur smell is a bonus most guests don't expect until they experience it. We're small on purpose. It's just our two properties — this cabin and our beach house in Destin. That means when you message us, you get us.
What makes this property unique
Five things that set Bear's Wilderness Lodge apart from other 5-bedroom cabins in Gatlinburg: Inside city limits with no steep mountain roads — straightforward arrival for any vehicle, any time of year Every bedroom is a king — no one gets the bunk bed or the pull-out, five king beds and five full bathrooms Main-level bedroom with nearby full bath — ideal for guests who prefer or require single-level living City water — no sulfur smell, more common in hotels than cabins in this area Direct owner contact — you're communicating with Mark and Amanda, not a ticketing system
