We had trouble with the washer, the host was very gracious and provided us tons of towels and bath cloths, very kind. We saw bears when we arrived. Cozy house. The upstairs was so cute. Host very communicative and responsive. House close enough to town yet far enough away from the crowd. Nice porch.

My husband, daughter, and I along with my parents enjoyed a two night stay here. The property was perfect for our needs and Brennan was incredibly responsive to questions. The house is conveniently located to do both Gatlinburg and the National Park. We would stay here again.

Fantastic Mountain Cabin Getaway

Wow. Amazing location - So close to the entertainment Gatlinburg brings! It took us a few minutes to drive into downtown. The property is spectacular and in top notch condition - high in the mountains, the perfect getaway! We saw a bear at the top of the driveway. So cool. Can’t wait to come back!

This cabin was a comfortable stay for my family for our trip to Gatlinburg. We had several visits from black bears for the full Smoky Mountain experience! This is an older cabin, and it lives like an older cabin, which is not an issue, just don’t expect new construction. The benefit to being older is the location is perfect; 5 minutes to Gatlinburg and 10 minutes to the National Park. The cabin is nestled on the mountainside and feels very private. The huge porch was great for morning tea and enjoying the mountain sounds. We had plenty of space with the cabin as our base camp while we visited family and explored the National Park. Overall, our stay was exactly what I was looking for.

On top of the Mountains!

We had a great time staying at the cabin in the mountains! Owner gave a great tip to make sure we arrived during daylight to assure we could find the cabin. Road to cabin was very windy and steep! Not a lot of seating in living room for a family of 5, all adults, but we made it work. Location is great for downtown Gatlinburg or GSMNP.

About the host

Host profile image
I love to travel as well. East Tennessee is my home and would love to share its amazing qualities with others!

Why they chose this property

We hope your family enjoys this place as much as mine! It’s truly a fantastic getaway spot if you’re tired of the fast-paced life. One of the things we love most about Don’t Worry, Bear Happy is the location near downtown. You will not have to deal with the typical Gatlinburg traffic here. It feels very secluded away from any neighbors as well! This Chalet was renovated specifically for my family and for other families in mind.

What makes this property unique

Great location, very close to downtown and Ober Gatlinburg. Very secluded with a large wrap-around porch with rocking chairs.
