About this property

Three Bears Den · Hot Tub, Arcade games, $560 FREE tickets each paid day!

“Three Bears Den” is a charming cabin hidden away in the tall trees of the mountains. This unique circle chalet is a 3-bedroom 3 bath located on Ski Mountain. It’s about 20 minutes from downtown and has complete privacy. With mostly paved roads all the way to the property enjoy the woodsy scenic drive as you travel to and from the chalet.
There are two entrances one on the bottom level into the den area and one off the main level deck into the kitchen. Entering from the bottom level you will be greeted with the den area boasting two Arcade games, pool table and two futons. There is a bathroom and private bedroom on this level that makes this area perfect for someone with kids. Outside the main entrance is a private patio holding a new luxurious bubbly hot tub that is ready for you to soak your cares away.
Wanting to get settled in for the vacation, travel up the spiral staircase to the main level and see a cozy open floor plan of the living room and fully equipped kitchen with another deck just outside waiting for you to soak up some sun with a glass of lemonade and a good book or your favorite magazine. Down the hall choose from two more bedrooms with their own private bathroom. One having a stand-up shower and the other a combo. There is a fireplace on each level perfect for everyone to cuddle up in front of and relax with a cup of hot cocoa before turning in. As a guest, you'll also enjoy access to the Chalet Village clubhouse amenities—making it even harder to leave the mountain. Pools and game areas are available from Memorial Day through Labor Day, while pickleball and tennis courts are open year-round, weather permitting.
“Three Bears Den” offers all you could ask for and more. It will make any vacation one that you will remember for a lifetime.

Christmas in the Smokies

It has been a rough year for my family and we decided to have a change of scenery for Christmas. We booked the Three Bears cabin in the Smokies. The cabin is in a great location with a deck where there are great views of the Smokies. Plenty of room for our family of 8. Everyone enjoyed the deck and the pool table. The hot tub was great too. It doesn’t take long to travel to Gatlinburg from this cabin. We all had a great time!

10 out of 10 would do again

Great cabin with great views. Hot tub was hot. Loved the pool table and arcade games. Window view on both floors excellent. Would have preferred fire place not be electric but the effect was there. Comfortable beds bring your own pillow though. Not a lot of outdoor space other than hot tub area but wasn't necessary for us. Paved road Until gravel driveway. Spacious common areas. Soft couches. Rockers on outside deck. Close to downtown Gatlinburg and Ober Gatlinburg.

Nice cabin but there is a mouse problem

The cabin is in a great location, loved the layout and is perfect for a family. The kids loved the pool table and the hot tub was nice. I would recommend adding a few more items to the kitchen like knives other than steak knives, strainer and baking dishes. We did have to get creative when cooking. The only real issue was that the cabin smelled like a dead mouse. Upon checkin we had to open the windows to try and air it out. There were mouse dropping in a couple places. We did call the management company and the lady said “it’s just part of living in the woods” and said she would send maintenance to try and locate the mouse. We live in a rural area and understand life in the woods. Mice in the house is not something you just have to live with. Nothing was done and we ended up having to come in each afternoon and vent the cabin and just deal with the mouse smell. It was very strong. I really hate to leave a negative review but something needs to be done about the mouse issue.

RAT infestation/ No power/Snacks Eaten by MICE

We were very excited to have found this cabin for the Thanksgiving break. When we first arrived to the cabin, we were amazed by the wonderful views. We were not able to do much cooking, the power on the microwave and stove side went out and we were later informed, after a few trips from maintenance before and after Thanksgiving we were told that it was more than just a breaker, so we would not have power on that wall. The first night we had a great time, we played the games and enjoyed the pool table. Bedtime was another story, my son woke us up at 1:30am saying that he saw several mice in the kitchen and he was really scared, after telling him to come sleep in my daughters room, we started hearing them in the walls. When we woke up the next morning, the mice had eaten a few of the snacks. As I started to explore the booklet, I did not notice in the booklet explaining the cabin anything about mice. The second night, was the same thing, we had a great time in the day but the night time was horrible, my son and nephew slept down stairs on woke up at 1:30pm terrified, they heard mice in the backpack, mice under the futon and all over the room, they were too afraid to move. My Dad who was sleeping down stairs grabbed them and brought them to his room. After this second time, we all began to stuff towels under our door hoping that mice would not crawl through, the nights were absolutely horrifying. One the third morning, my Dad comes to me and says that he woke up to a knock at the door, when he answered it no one was there, as he was closing the door, he saw a monster RAT run into his room and go into the wash room. Absolutely disgusting. My family vacationed in terror, my kids were so scared at night time, to make matters worse, as we investigated, and we found a very large mouse trap that was not set, the company knew this RAT and her mice were there and did nothing about it. Very disappointed in humanity right now, I don’t understand why anyone would know about this and do nothing.

We apologize profusely for your troubles; we can't fix things until they're reported. We had a prior complaint of hearing something in the house, and we sent out pest control and thought the problem was resolved. We are terribly sorry to hear that it was not and that it was so bad for you and your children. We are sending out another pest control company, and we will get the situation remedied. Unfortunately, in the woods and mountains, it can be a problem, but we always strive to keep our cabins in good order without pests. We apologize again for your troubles, and we appreciate your kindness in speaking with us. We will get this resolved, and we couldn't do that without you reporting it. Thank you for bringing it to our attention, Shay.

Could use some work

Property has a lot of potential but needs a lot of work. Cabinet doors are 1/4” wood that are warped and they don’t close. When driving up to property trash visible around. Old tarps, old furniture just dumped in yard. Bathroom linoleum had a square cut out and just screwed in floor. Pool table was unlevel. Spots on ceilings from precious leak. Hot tub was nice. It wouldn’t take a lot to make it nice but needs to be done.
