Seeking a charming cabin with a spectacular view of the Smokies that is actually IN Gatlinburg? You’ve just found it!

Surrounded by forest, looking onto the Great Smoky Mountains, and with delightful amenities such as an outdoor hot tub, an indoor jetted tub, and a stone fireplace, Bear Hugs will have you in the mood for romance—or relaxation.

Yet, while the log cabin feels tucked away from it all, it’s hardly remote. Downtown Gatlinburg, with its entertainment, shopping, and restaurants, is only a five-minute car ride away. The main entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is also just a short drive away, as are golf courses, Dollywood, Rocky Top Sports World, and so much more. You’ll be delighted by Bear Hugs as soon as you pull up into the drive. A true log cabin with a chalet-style cathedral ceiling, it rises on stilts to offer spectacular views of the Smokies from the deck that spans the width of the house.

The deck has a 4 person spa that overlooks the Smoky Mountains!

The interior of Bear Hugs is just as inviting as the exterior. The wood floor, walls, and ceiling cocoon you with warmth and charm. Guests will enjoy the quality leather furnishings, original art, antique persian rug, 50 inch HDTV with cable, and a cozy fire on those chilly days and evenings! Of course Bear Hugs has internet access! The comfortable leather living room sofa converts into a bed for two with a memory foam mattress, so that the house can sleep up to four people in all.

The hand-crafted dining table seats four people as well. You can look out the large windows to the mountains as you enjoy your meal, so that you’ll almost feel as if you’re dining alfresco.

The kitchen is equipped with all new stainless steel appliances, coffee maker, cookware, and tableware. Should you want to barbecue, there’s a charcoal grill outside as well. Among other conveniences, the cabin has its own washer and dryer, so you can both pack light and return home with a suitcase full of clean clothes (isn’t having to do laundry as soon as you get back the worst?).

The master suite is on the main level along with the living/dining area and the kitchen. Decorated in the same comfortably rustic style as the rest of the home, the suite includes a king-size bed, a TV, and a bathroom complete with jetted tub. When you arrive you’ll find the bed freshly made and laundered towels ready and waiting, so if you want to unwind with a bath or a nap as soon as you arrive, you can.

There’s a half bath upstairs on the loft level, convenient if you have overnight guests. Also upstairs is a pool table and commercial arcade that operates without any quarters! Great for rainy days!

Because Bear Hugs is located in the forty-three acre Black Bear Falls Log Home Community, when you stay you can take advantage of the resort’s two heated swimming pools, one of which is a kiddie pool, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There’s also a poolside lounge area and a clubhouse with free WiFi.

Beautiful and loaded with modern-day amenities and conveniently located close to so many places to explore and enjoy, Bear Hugs is a wonderful base for a getaway you’ll never forget. So reserve your stay today, and get ready to start making memories!

The cabin was perfect, don’t rent for prvacy purposes. Pool was closed out of season for pool, but loved seeing the ducks everyday!! I’ve been coming down to Gatlinburg for six years and like to rent in the same area. I’ve already got my eyes on one that was right by this one for next year possibly .

Great vacation stay in the Smoky Mountains

Beautiful cabin, far enough removed to enjoy peace and quiet, close enough to Gatlinburg and the national park that travel times were short. Enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table and video games. Beautiful cabin, hope to get back there again some time soon!

Beautiful Little Cabin

We spent a week in the cabin. It was absolutely perfect for the two of us. The hot tub, arcade, and pool table were a nice bonus. We did have a bear get in our car. Close to everything.

Nice place

We had a good time staying at this site. The hot tub had a pump out, so only half the jets worked. We did have a total of 5 bears come up to the cabin. Very cool, but completely frightening. Love the wildlife, just not right behind you, lol. Thank goodness for the motion detector light, which did give us a few seconds notice when 3 bears walked up at night. Too bad the others were during the day. Would recommend! This says I can upload photos, but it won't let me. Otherwise we had a few of the bears.
