Thank you so much, Elspeth! I truly appreciate your wonderful 5-star review and am so happy your family enjoyed Bear Hug Lodge. One of the best things about Bear Hug Lodge is its location in Chalet Village, right on the edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park. You’re surrounded by the beauty of the Smokies, with incredible mountain views, frequent wildlife sightings, and easy access to both the national park and downtown Gatlinburg. Guests also have access to the Chalet Village clubhouse and its amenities. You may even see mama bears and her cubs, and experience the amazing wildlife that makes the Smokies so special. The drive up is a little steep, but once you arrive, the views make it absolutely worth it! I’m grateful you chose Bear Hug Lodge for your vacation, and I hope to welcome you and your family back again soon.

The views at the cabin are unbelievable!

Upon entering the cabin we were taken away with the view from the upper deck. The kitchen and living room were nice. The bedrooms and bathrooms needed some major updates including stained carpeting and very dark bathroom upstairs. The cleanliness was slightly below average with cobwebs prevalent throughout the entire cabin. I would definitely stay here again if there was a detailed cleaning completed.

Cozy cabin nestled perfectly at the top of the mountain above Gatlinburg! If you are excited about being in the "thick" of mountain life, complete with interacting with bears, squirrels, turkeys, and chipmunks, this is the place for you. Enjoy quiet mornings listening to the birds chirping as the bears come by on their morning journey out and gorgeous sunsets in the hot tub on the balcony. Town is a short trek down the mountain if you decide to leave the cabin! The host was super communicative throughout our stay, ensuring that we were aware of bear safety prior to arrival, which really is key. Do NOT leave ANY food in your cars and keep them locked. The bears WILL try to get in. We saw this first-hand. As long as you keep a safe distance and respect that you are in THEIR home, you will be fine to enjoy your stay.We will be back sometime and I would recommend this cabing and host 10-10 to re-book. She is very attentive to any needs at any time. Check-in and check out could not be easier. Thank you for an amazing week in the most beautiful place on earth!

Thank you so much, Sammy, for such an incredible review! It truly means the world to me. You perfectly described what makes Park Line so special. It’s called the “Park Line” because this is where Gatlinburg meets the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. There are no mountains beyond us—just miles and miles of protected national park wilderness. That’s why it’s so common to see bears, deer, wild turkeys, squirrels, chipmunks, and so much other wildlife right from the cabin as they naturally travel between the park and the surrounding area. I’m so happy you enjoyed the peaceful mornings, breathtaking sunsets from the hot tub, and the unforgettable experience of being surrounded by nature while still being just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. Thank you for taking bear safety seriously and for respecting that we are guests in their home. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and I can’t wait to welcome you back for another amazing Smoky Mountain adventure!

Great Views, Lots of Room!

We loved this cabin on the mountain just above downtown Gatlinburg! The views off the decks were just breathtaking! The drive up the mountain is a little tricky, but well worth it for this cabin. We had 8 adults and an infant and there was plenty of room for everyone to hangout and have their own space too! Our teenagers loved the game room downstairs and made the most of the pool table for sure. It was clean, had great views, and tons of space. Definitely recommend!

Cozy Retreat

When we arrived, I was disappointed due to rain outside and coolness and darkness inside. While the cabin stayed on the dark side (a few cozy lamps would have been nice), it warmed up quickly to a very comfortable temperature. I would suggest a quick improvement for the owners: Rip off the pealing wallpaper and just paint the walls. The morning and night views were fantastic however. The fireplace is lovely. As other reviews stated, the long curvy road up the mountain required concentration on the part of the driver. A young bear even came up to the cabin! We were all very excited about that and watched him from the deck.

Great family cabin!

We loved the cabin! It was perfect for our family of 8. Location to Gatlinburg was good, not too far. We spent most days visiting Gatlinburg. Bears visited the cabin daily and we watched them from the upper deck. The view is very pretty. Drive up and down the mountain was steep.

Breathtaking Views

Quintessential cabin to enjoy the high altitudes of the Appalachian. Due to the snowy weather we ended up staying in all weekend with a roaring fire, hot cocoa, and board games. Had some minor issues with a kitchen appliance but the property owner and Evolve Rental were quick to respond. Would definitely return again!

Hi Douglas, the homeowner would like to share the following message: "We're glad you enjoyed the location and view, but sorry to hear your stay was less than a 5-star experience. We wish you would have contacted us during your stay with any items you were dissatisfied with, and we would have made our best effort to remedy them. The home undergoes ongoing maintenance, and once a year is taken down, so larger items requiring more time may be addressed. We're continuously working to make improvements to provide our guests with a positive experience."

Needs updating, but great location

This cabin is at the highest point of this area and the views were amazing. From the listing of 4 bedrooms and 4 baths, I assumed each bedroom had access to a bathroom, but upstairs there are 2 bedrooms and one bathroom, and there is a full bathroom in the basement away from all bedrooms. I found this out right before our stay only because I asked for the lay out. I probably wouldn't have booked this cabin if I had known the layout at the time of booking. Guest contact was very attentive even though it was a holiday weekend. For the cabin itself, we found several minor issues and many parts were outdated and just didn't look nice (hot tub cover was shredding in the inside and there were no head rests in it, cabinet knobs and door knobs were loose). The washer wasn't working and the dryer stopped working as well, but the guest contact told us he would issue us a credit for that inconvenience since he was unable to get anyone to come out to repair it. The pool table was not in good shape and only one pool stick was usable. The basement (game room) was so cold compared to the rest of the house that we hardly stayed down there. The walls between the bedrooms upstairs were so thin, we had very little privacy. We saw mice multiple times, and although that's to be expected in the mountains, we had to clean out the entire silverware tray multiple times after finding droppings in it. Overall, we had a great time with our family but I wouldn't book this cabin again, simply because there are so many options out there in better condition.

Hi Sarah, we want all of our guests to rest easy when they stay with us, and we are sorry that you experienced a few issues during your stay. We followed up with the homeowner after reading your feedback, and they wanted to share the following: - We do not advertise that each bedroom has its own bathroom on the listing, but we apologize that this caught you off guard. - There is a new hot tub cover on order. - The washer/dryer combo unit did have a problem during your weekend stay, and as explained to you, the part could not quickly be obtained over the weekend, but we hope that the measures taken by Evolve help to make up for this inconvenience. - The pool table is scheduled for its annual felt replacement after the busy season. - We apologize that you were not comfortable with the temperature in the house. Guests should be able to set the temperature at any desired level as it is not restricted in any way. - We encourage guests to reach out with any concerns while in residence so we have the opportunity to make things right - the local contact would have been happy to help with the pests. Thanks for letting us know about your stay!

Our stay on top of the mountain

Views were great> Things like chair in kitchen needs to be fixed and light in down bedroom is also in need of repair, plus dimmer switch in bathroom needs to be replaced. We had a great time and there is plenty of room. The drive up is a challenge the first time but gets better every time. Would stay there again and probably will next year.

Great cabin with great view!

We enjoyed our stay- very roomy and nice to have 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms as we had 9 people. Also loved the game room area and hot tub and views from the decks. As noted in other reviews- we did see bears...maybe a little too close but that was part of the adventure. Also this is at the top of the mountain so with all the twists and turns to get there we never did that drive in the dark. Some suggestions for owners- need more kitchen towels and dishcloths as well as dishwasher pods. Smaller plates would be nice for breakfast/lunch items. The two upstairs rooms without fans get warm so maybe a standing floor fan would help. Also, the upper deck was very dusty so maybe hadn't been cleaned/swept and there are some floor boards with wide holes the chair legs often got stuck. Very enjoyable trip!

Great Views

Gorgeous views from the porch - the drive up is terrifying, but after a few times it's not so bad. Our biggest complaint was the kitchen could be better stocked - there were no dry measuring cups, only a 1/2 tsp measuring spoon. A mixing bowl had a hole in the bottom, pots were very old/worn. Things above plus a few "nice to haves" salt & pepper, maybe a crock pot, would have gone a long way. A few other issues were cob webs in easy to reach places, a flickering light by the kitchen. We had a really nice time though.

Mountain Top

I really enjoyed staying at this particular cabin. He had more than enough materials to accommodate all 8 of us that stayed. The Cabin a lot of space to do fun things. The cabin is located at the mountain top with a beautiful view of the city at night and a beautiful morning view on the balcony. The cabin has three levels but two of them have a patio. The jacuzzi was very relaxing and enjoyable. I overall enjoyed the beautifulness of the cabin and location.

No gas grill as shown on website. Master bedroom bathroom light switch knob is broken. Master bedroom window glass is broken. Master bedroom sink has very low cold water pressure. Upstairs bathroom light switch above the stool does not work properly. One of the dining table captain's chair has a loose arm. Kitchen could be a little better stocked with paper goods and dish soap. One wine glass was found cracked. Great views but a bit difficult to get to after dark if one is not familiar with the area.
