Bear-rific View - Unplug, unwind and enjoy creation’s beauty in your cozy cabin.
If your looking for a place to rest and unwind, you’ve found it. People say the cabin is cozy and feels like home away from home. The cabin has expansive views of the Smoky Mountains and of famous Mt Leconte. The cabin is just a little ways up and tucked away amongst the trees giving you excellent privacy and opportunities to see wildlife and the occasional black bear that makes its way along the ridge. The pics don’t do it justice.
When you’re home, the mountains are visible from most places in the cabin as natural light comes flooding in from the expansive windows. The real wood fireplace can keep you warm on winter days and adds to a cozy evening after dark. You can enjoy a book on an oversized chair in the bedrooms or on the balcony with your favorite beverage. After a hike in the park or a night on the town you can come home and slip into the hot tub or hang out on the large deck to unwind.
If solitude is not what you crave, you can be in Pigeon Forge in about 10 minutes to enjoy your favorite restaurants and activities. If the kids are in tow, we have a game room with a pool table and vintage arcade games. Dollywood is nearby and is a family favorite. NOTE: There are three sets stairways and about 20 steps to reach the cabin and a narrow sidewalk between the first and second set. Please take this into account before you book.

Great location, views were top notch. Hot tub was clean and communication with the host was perfect. We found the cabin as described in the listing with everything we needed on hand. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to next time!
The view is wonderful!! Extremely charming cabin! Very quiet and relaxing. We will be staying there again the next time we are in the area. We highly recommend this cabin!!
What a great spot for a great little weekend getaway. The cabin was nestled down a gravel drive, with PLENTY of privacy and an expansive view of the beautiful mountains. The location was perfect to drop into Dollywood and Pigeon Forge, but still feel like you are out in the woods. The cabin was immaculate, well stocked and such a great home base for the weekend activities. Check in was a breeze and the hosts were incredibly communicative, but also let us enjoy our stay without interruption. My pup LOVED the massive windows and basically stared off the porch all day. We’ll definitely be back!
Our stay at the Cabin was amazing as usual! This was our second stay here and it is beautiful. The view is amazing. The cabin is cozy and clean and well equipped, perfect for a wonderful getaway. Location is perfect for a quiet, peaceful and restful experience but only 10 to 15 minutes or so from the main attractions.
This is a great property! It has a wonderful view, is conveniently located to all the popular attractions, and is also quiet and secluded. I would definitely recommend this cabin to others!
Our family of four with two teen daughters had a really terrific time at the Bear-rific cabin. The cabin was clean, had a wonderful view, and we enjoyed watching it from the hot tub and while drinking coffee on the deck. John was incredibly responsive and helpful. Thanks for everything!
The cabin was nice and in a good location to what we were visiting in town. I thought it was odd that there was no handsoap in the whole house. It may just be me, but I don't travel with hand soap, we had to use our body wash to wash our hands after using the bathroom. I will pay better attention to amenities in the future. The upstairs toilet didn't flush so we couldn't use it, which was inconvenient in the middle of the night, but the owner was very nice about it and I understand that things break or don't work all the time. The hot tub was nice and the view was beautiful. Overall, we had a nice stay.
Beautiful views from this cozy cabin! The drive up was well worth the view and privacy of the location. Cabin had all the essentials which made the trip comfortable. Hot tub was clean and relaxing. Very pleased that our dog was welcome, too! Close to town and quick response from the owner. Thanks for a great stay!
Absolutely breathtaking views from the deck and hot tub! Everything was clean and updated. The secluded cabin was even more beautiful than the photos portrayed. It was nice to have the pool table for some extra fun. Check in was easy and John was a great host. Note that it is probably a good idea to have a 4 wheel drive to get up to the cabin. We rode a Harley and did have to park at the bottom of the driveway because of the loose gravel on the drive and parking area.
We stayed at John’s mountaintop cabin in June.While there we had a small issue and he was very responsive and helpfulSeeing a small bear right beside the house was fun and exciting. The hot tub was great. And, the view out the front door? Absolutely beautiful!
This cabin was beautiful and exactly as described! Lots of steps getting from the driveway to the front door, so just make sure you are not handicapped if you stay here. The views were stunning! Cabin was very clean and accommodating other than not having a grill but we just ordered out instead of grilling.
My wife, Schoodle and me stayed at Bear-riffic View for Memorial Day Weekend and had a great stay. Location was great! Not far from anything. John was great! Made sure everything was good and checked on us. The only problem we had was there was a grill pictured, but it was removed for fire inspection reasons. We are avid grillers. The view is great and I know it’s even better in the fall and winter.
The cabin has a great layout, I just wished it was cleaner and managed better. My disappointments and areas of concern were: the couch reeked of urine, pet hair through out, chewed furniture and trim, water stains on vaulted ceiling, cob webs inside and out, non working light fixture on upstairs fan, missing/burnt out bulbs in multiple fixtures. Very low 40w bulb on a bent/worn out dimmer over the eating area (pretty much made it pointless for use in the evening). Showers are dark because of no lighting above and the curtain upstairs was gross. It was too long so a foot or more was on the shower floor underfoot. The pool table was nice and got a lot of use during our stay once we noticed which pool cues were decent enough to use. The arcade display only projected on the bottom half of the screen. Not all was negative, the beds were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was furnished with everything needed to prepare a meal.

Brought our family to the mountains for summer vacation.The cleaning crew did NOT do their job. The house was very dirty. The sheets and towels had stains. Cobwebs were hanging from the doors, lights, and ceiling beams. Table was sticky. We had to clean up dog pee from where other dogs hiked their leg.It rained and the roof leaked in four different places.Fire alarm went off randomly in the night.Bathroom light flickered light a strobe light.If it were clean it wouldnt have been bad at all.
First stay at Bear-rific and we weren’t disappointed!!! Beautiful view and amenities were great!! Our Host, John, was in contact from the time I booked and made sure we had all the information we needed. John even provided a picture of the drive entrance to help.Would definitely recommend and would book again!!
This Cabin was great! The location, The View was awesome, and perfect for our family and even our puppy as well!! Wish we could have stayed longer. Definitely would stay here again!
The road to the house was a little sketchy the first time driving it. But the higher up the Mountain you travel, the prettier the view, and the view was absolutely worth it!! The cabin was perfect for our family! My husband and I really enjoyed the master loft bedroom and my daughter enjoyed her private bedroom on the main floor. The windows were perfect, allowing you to see the mountain views from the majority of inside the home. Thank you so much for your hospitality! We will be returning on future trips!
We enjoyed our stay. Beautiful view. Excellent host. No issues.

About the host
Hosted by John Thompson
We really enjoy sharing are cabin with others. It’s a very special place we are blessed to be its stewards. Our favorite thing to do when we’re there is go into the National Park to hike and experience the natural beauty of God’s creation and when we get back at the cabin, we like to watch the clouds and sun cast shadow across the the mountains as we decompress from modern life.
Why they chose this property
Fox Run is an early development and the lots are spacious with lots of natural landscape and trees playing host to the many birds and animals.
What makes this property unique
The location is on the point of a ridge facing directly at the Great Smoky Mountain NP. It offer unprecedented privacy while only being 7 minutes from Pigeon Forge. It sits on the ridge like a normal home, not hanging out over a steep terrain like most of the cabins that offer a view. It’s home away from home and we maintain it for ourselves and guest. It’s a special place that you will have to experience for yourself to truly understand.
