Premium Cabin retreat with fantastic views of the Great Smoky Mountains
Sleepy Bear Den is a traditional log cabin, comfortably appointed, that is situated on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains in the Sherwood Forest Resort of Pigeon Forge. This newly purchased and refurnished cabin has a 180 degrees of awe inspiring views of the Smokies, including the famous 6,593 ft. Mt. Le Conte. We purchased this cabin for the views and its location. It is 10 minutes from downtown Pigeon Forge, 15 minutes from Gatlinburg, 15 minutes to Dollywood and 12 minutes from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is quiet and relaxing back in the hills and mountains, while you can be back on the busy Parkway in 10 minutes.
Our approach in setting up our cabin was to start fresh and refurnish 90% of the entire cabin. Our goal was to create a peaceful mountain retreat where families or couples could escape the chaos of our modern lives, enjoy the splendid tranquility and restorative beauty of the Smokies, all the while staying connected with the outside world and catching sporting events on TV. Wildlife abounds in our mountain location with black bears, deer, raccoons, gray squirrels and lots of birds found throughout the neighborhood.
The two story cabin has 8 rooms, comfortably sleeps 6 and has a wrap-around deck. There are two King size bedrooms -- one on each level -- and two full bathrooms on each level (upstairs a shower and downstairs a tub/shower combo). The upstairs bedroom has the bathroom en-suite. The dining room and two story great room on the main level overlook the Great Smoky Mountains. The kitchen is fully stocked and has granite countertops with stainless steel appliances. There is a large stone gas fireplace in the great room, with a second fireplace in the upstairs bedroom suite. The full-size washer/dryer are located on the main level. The upstairs loft has window views overlooking the Smokies and contains a EZ-Lounger Queen bed. The traditional log cabin has solid yellow pine flooring, walls, and ceilings throughout.
Sleepy Bear Den has the following amenities: -- Privacy and location, the cabin overlooks the Great Smoky Mountains, so your views from the cabin and surrounding deck are of trees and mountains. Other than a few neighboring cabins, there is no light pollution at night and stunningly beautiful sunrises over the mountains. -- 1 GB broadband wireless -- 2 new King beds with raising headboards -- 1 new Queen EZ-Lounger bed that can accommodate a 6' 4" individual -- New bedding and linens -- 3 new Sony 4K HDR Smart TV's -- Free Disney+ Streaming -- Free Netflix Streaming -- Smart Tv's allow log-in of personal HBO, Apple, Hulu, ESPN or other streaming services -- TV's have 85 HD channels, network 4K broadcasting of sporting events, local ABC, CBS, NBC, and FOX stations for the greater Knoxville area -- Whisky barrel arcade game for two with 60 classic games from the 80's & 90's -- Gas fireplace in great room -- Gas fireplace in upstairs bedroom suite -- Kitchen has new dishes, glasses, mugs, pots and pans, silverware, cooking utensils, mixing bowls, mixer, etc. -- Keurig coffee station -- Dishwasher -- 4 cook-top range oven -- Microwave -- Refrigerator with door filtered ice/water -- Garbage Disposal -- AC/Gas Heat -- Full-size washer & dryer -- 3 Ceiling fans -- Gas BBQ -- Hot Tub -- Sherwood Forest Resort Pool -- seasonally open from Memorial Day to Labor Day -- Flat parking for up to 3 cars

Thank you for the high praise and we are glad that you enjoyed your visit to the Smokies. When the mountains are calling you back, we would welcome your return.
Scott sent us an abundance of information before our trip. The cabin was beautiful and extremely clean. It had everything we needed, the starter pack was great and it was so beautifully, simply decorated for the holiday season. Scott answered any questions we had immediately, prior to and during our stay. It was in a nice development that is easily accessible from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Glad that everyone had a great Christmas time at the cabin. We appreciate your high praise and look forward to your return when the Smokies are calling you back.
This was our second stay at Sleepy Bear Den and we loved it just as much as the first time. The cabin is extremely clean and is fully equipped with everything you would need for a short or long stay. Additionally, the “starter items” (toilet paper, soaps, k cups) are all high quality. The beds are comfortable, the hot tub is great and the WiFi works well! We would definitely return again!

Our family enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The views were amazing and the resort felt private and peaceful.

About the host
Hosted by Scott Bone
I have been brining my family to the Great Smoky Mountains for the last decade. These escapes have enabled us to build lasting memories and take a break from our busy day-to-day lifestyle. The Smokies are magical in the sense that you can hike a trail to a waterfall in the morning, enjoy a great BBQ lunch, spend the afternoon at Dollywood, and watch the stars come out at night. (minimal light pollution in the mountains)
Why they chose this property
Sleepy Bear Den is a traditional log cabin located right on the edge of the Great Smoky Mountains. We have unobstructed 180 degree views of several ridges of the Smokies, including the famous 6,593 ft. Mt. Le Conte. Our cabin views show off slow moving mountain mists, gorgeous sun rises, stunning fall foliage, and chilling winter snows. In this peaceful retreat we often see wildlife -- birds, squirrels, raccoons, deer and black bears. It varies over the year, but the cycle of life always continues in the mountains.
What makes this property unique
We purchased this traditional log cabin for it's ideal mountain side location. It is quiet with stunning mountain views and provides a comfortable space -- including a two story Living Room with gas fireplace -- to make lasting memories with family and friends. Sleepy Bear Den is set back 10 mins through a canyon and up a mountain from the hustle of the downtown Pigeon Forge Parkway. We are located 12 minutes from the main Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, 15 mins to Dollywood, and 15 mins to Gatlinburg. We have found it an ideal place to relax and recharge, and invite you to join us and do the same.
