About this property

Summer Time In The Air! Might See a Bear Here!

Views, Location, and Privacy! This cabin has it all! Located just off Ski Mountain Rd, Gatlinburg Bearadise is just 1.8 miles from Ober Gatlinburg, 2.4 miles from Downtown Gatlinburg, and 2.5 miles from the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Needless to say, you will be traveling up a paved, steep, curvy, mountainous road to get to this cabin. At Gatlinburg Bearadise, you feel like you are away from it all in your own mountain retreat, yet have the convenience of reaching the dining and attractions in minutes!

Upon entering the newly renovated cabin, you will enter an open floor plan with living room with sleeper sofa, love seat, and 65" tv; kitchen; dining room; and full bath. This level also has a wrap around deck with hot tub, as well as a back deck. Downstairs contains the 2 bedroom (1 with king bed, and 1 with queen bed), 2nd full bathroom, and laundry closet. The master bedroom has its own private deck.

Did I mention the views?! Gatlinburg Bearadise has amazing views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Enjoy your coffee on the deck while admiring nature's beaty at its finest.

Coffee maker is a regular pot.

Quiet and Relaxing

Property was nice and clean. Check in was easy. We have been in that mountain area several visits, so we were familiar with the twists and turns of finding our places to stay. If you are not familiar with the area, do not arrive in the dark. The house itself, was clean and had everything you needed to cook etc. Would have been nice to have a keurig and also a gas grill. I would also add that if you happen to be a short person, like myself, you may need a step stool to get up on the bed in the 2nd bedroom. Lighting in the rooms could be brighter. Easy checking in, beds were very comfy, it was nice to have some shampoo, conditioner and lotion available if you forgot your own. Also know the steps inside to go downstairs are quite steep so beware. Hot tub was very nice and I enjoyed sitting out on the deck eating breakfast and photographing the sweet chipmunks and the lovely GSM. We had the honor of seeing a mama bear and her 3 sweet tiny babies our 2nd day there. Such a thrill. Thanks for a lovely stay and providing a relaxing home away from home place to stay.

Home away from home

This is a beautiful cabin. It feels so cozy and has such an amazing view of the mountains. We saw two bears while we were there and the kids were so excited. We loved the hot tub and how clean everything was when we arrived.It's close to everything and the drive is so cool going through the mountains to get there.

Mountain retreat near gatlinburg

Our family of 3 just returned from our amazing stay. Driving up the mountain windy roads took some getting used to, but we were pros by the end of our 8 day stay. Check in was easy and the cabin was immaculate. Updated with charming decor. The view from the front deck and hot tub is spectacular! The cabin is very close to gatlinburg and a slightly longer drive to pigeon forge and Dollhwood. We saw at least 2 bears every day of our stay. We loved it there and never wanted to leave!

Mountain View

Tough to have pets with the Bear presence. We were not prepared for that as we could not walk our dogs in the neighborhood . House was quiet, very clean and modern. No issues or problems. We had a relaxing time other than the 1 issue with bears.

Beautiful view and cozy cabin

When they say you might see bears we were pleasantly surprised to be visited several times. Kept a safe distance. So close to Downtown Gatlinburg, short drive to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood. The Smokey National Park is right there. The trails are amazingly beautiful. We stayed for a full week and still didn’t get it all in. This experience has us coming back to visit at some point.

Cute cabin in the mountains

We had a great time staying in the cabin. It was the perfect size for our family. We enjoyed the hot tub and having morning coffee on the porch. We had a view of the mountains and could watch the Ober Tram as it went up and down. We will definitely stay here again if we are ever in Gatlinburg again.

Great cabin for a weekend getaway for 4 adults and 1 child. The house was stocked was with amenities like paper towels and soaps that we didn’t have to bring. I know it’s a small thing, but we really appreciated the convenience of it. Would stay again!

One of the best cabins I’ve stayed in. Very nice view. The drive to the cabin is not for the faint of heart. We didn’t have a problem getting to it, but I could see how one would have difficulty getting to and from the cabin if the road conditions were icy. I would definitely stay here again!!!!

Great cabin

Wonderful little cabin. Great vicinity to the parkway. Only downside is lack of towels and dish cloths. They had bath towels bot they were very small and very few of them. There was also no dish towels to clean and do dishes. Otherwise it was darling!
