🌄 August Availability – Escape to the Smokies Before Summer Ends!

August is one of the best-kept secrets in the Smoky Mountains. The summer crowds begin to thin, evenings become a little cooler, and it's the perfect time to enjoy the mountains before fall arrives.

Wake up to breathtaking mountain views, sip your morning coffee on the deck, and unwind each evening in your private hot tub beneath the stars.

One of our favorite surprises this summer has been a local mama black bear and her four cubs making occasional appearances near the cabin. Wildlife sightings can never be guaranteed, but many guests enjoy spotting bears, deer, wild turkeys, and other native wildlife from a safe distance during their stay.

Just minutes from Dollywood, Anakeesta, Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Bear Claw Vista offers the perfect balance of peaceful mountain seclusion and convenient access to the area's top attractions.

We had an amazing time at this cabin! The hosts were super communicative and helpful, and everything was clean. The view was beautiful, my wife enjoyed the hot tub, and my son got a huge kick out of the arcade machine upstairs. The path up to the cabin was pretty steep, but it was paved, so no big deal. Also, we saw a family of black bears from our cabin balcony! The hosts provided complimentary snacks and coffee as well as kitchen equipment in case we felt like cooking :) Overall, we had a great time and would definitely come back here.

Everything was amazing. There was a couple places that couldve been cleaned better but nothing crazy. Fyi there are bumblebees that have made a home somewhere in the fascia of the cabin. But to be fair the cabin is in the mountains. We're definitely going to be booking here again!

A great view and deck are our #1 requirements and this cabin is a 10 for that. Only two of us stayed but all 3 bedrooms and 2 baths were clean, nice and comfortable. Kitchen was great and well supplied. Living room is a little tight if you have 6 or more people. Wood fireplace was nice for us, as long as you don't mind starting and maintaining fires. Plenty of towels for 2 of us not to do any laundry over 6 days. They do all the cleaning so just lock up and leave. Host was great and readily available.

Awesome visit for a good deal and great property!!

We loved this cabin! The view of the snow on the mountains was spectacular. The cabin had everything we needed and we really liked having a real wood fire in the fireplace. We would definitely stay here again! The quality of the furnishings and supplies were fantastic and added a nice home style touch!! My kids loved the game room and we were VERY pleased with our stay.This is one of the best places that we have stayed at in a while!!

Great cabin, Epic view

We travel to Smoky Mountain each year and have stayed in numerous cabins - this was by far our favorite and will book again in the future. Bear Claw Vista has it all: truly great panoramic mountain views, spacious back deck with a very nice hot tub, and a convenient location near national park entrances and all the area attractions. The attention to detail in the cabin is top notch, it was very comfortable and clean all around. The owners Kevin and Emily were very attentive and generously stocked the cabin for our stay. We are leaving with a ton of great memories and can’t wait to be back next year!

Bear Claw Vista Is the Perfect Escape!!

We loved our stay here! The view from the cabin is amazing – the snow on the mountains was gorgeous! There was so much to do here – we rode a roller coaster and went indoor snow tubing in Pigeon Forge (both were super-close) and checked out all the shops and a cidery in Gatlinburg. Back at the cabin, the wifi worked great. The kids were able to connect their tablets and we were able to stream a movie without any issues. The kids also loved playing air hockey! The cabin was clean, cozy, and comfortable. I wish we had more time to stay!

TN trip

Our stay at the cabin was an unforgettable experience. The cabin itself was a perfect blend of rustic charm and modern amenities. The kitchen was well-equipped, and the bedrooms were comfortable and cozy, ensuring a restful sleep. The cabin was spotless, and every detail was taken care of, reflecting the thoughtfulness of the host. The highlight of our stay was undoubtedly the location, offering stunning views and easy access to numerous hiking trails and other acttivites. We enjoyed exploring the natural beauty of the area during the day and relaxing in the hot tub at night. The host was extremely helpful and responsive, ensuring that we had a smooth and comfortable stay. They provided us with detailed information about the area and the various activities available, which greatly enhanced our experience.

Best vacation spot ever!

We have been using VRBO for vacation rentals for 15 years. Bear Claw Vista is hands-down the best property that we have ever stayed at! It was conveniently located to almost everything, but it was still secluded. While there are several other cabins in the area, it did not feel like anybody was on top of us. We arrived earlier than check-in (due to the flooding in Kentucky which caused us to cancel our plans there). Emily had the code working for us before we arrived, and the cabin was spotless! There was even a welcome basket of snacks on the counter (my boys were very excited about that)! All of the little things that were taken care of for us meant the world to me. Emily and Kevin's attention to details made this the most relaxing vacation my family has ever taken. The game room and board games that were provided were great for the rainy days (and we had several). All of the furniture was very comfortable, and the beds were divine. We were provided with plenty of linens and a week's supply of all of the basic household necessities. Being chore-free was also a breath of fresh air!We saw a bear crossing the road, near the cabin, on our first day there. The kids were over the moon about seeing a real bear. Then on our last day at the cabin, we had a visitor. There was a bear out by the fire pit, that walked around the cabin, and up to the front door. I have recommended Bear Claw Vista to everyone that I have talked to. We can't wait to come back!
