Gatlinburg cabin, 3 bed 2 bath, hot tub, no scary roads, PERFECT location
Welcome! Our sweet Mississippi family loves the Smoky Mountains, and we are excited to be bringing some "Magnolia State" hospitality to Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Go find and like us on Facebook at Magnolia Bear Retreats! Magnolia Bear Den is a 3 bed 2 bath newly renovated cozy cabin nestled at the end of a cul de sac in Gatlinburg's Arts and Crafts District. Spend some time on the Arts and Crafts Loop where you can find the perfect souvenir to remember your vacation by. It is truly amazing to see the talents possessed by the local craftsmen. Magnolia Bear Den is less than ten minutes from all of the action in downtown Gatlinburg, less than thirty minutes from Pigeon Forge or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, and approximately five minutes from our favorite spot in the Smokies, Greenbrier Cove. Take a short walk to Mills Park and enjoy all it has to offer, including a playground, picnic area, disc golf course, and Gatlinburg trolley stop. Also nearby is the Gatlinburg Community Center. For a minimal fee, guests may take advantage of the community center's fitness facility, bowling alley, or indoor swimming pool. For you golfers, Bent Creek Golf Course is only ten minutes away. Or enjoy time together with your family just hanging out at the cabin. The master en suite's custom built tile shower or the common bathroom's jacuzzi tub are both great ways to relax and wind down after a busy day of sight-seeing. Eating out is always a treat, but sometimes you may want to just skip the wait at the restaurants and grill out or prepare a meal in the fully-stocked kitchen for your family. The little and big kids alike can enjoy the multi-arcade game connected to the tv in the bunk room. Get a good night's rest and wake up the next morning to enjoy coffee and quiet time on the deck. Then, go get ready for another day of making Smoky Mountain memories with your family.

The cabin was perfect for our family as my mom has cancer in her lungs and can't walk very far or do steps very well. It was super clean and according to the family the hot tub and jacuzzi tub were amazing. We loved staying here and would absolutely recommend the cabin to anyone looking for a quiet, peaceful, and cozy place to stay!
This is the cleanest VRBO we’ve ever had the pleasure of renting! The description and photos are accurate. It’s perfectly appointed and the owners have excellent communication. I couldn’t recommend it more!
The cabin was so nice and peaceful. my family and I enjoyed our stay.

The location is perfect. The kitchen is well stocked. We were in the go most of the time so we basically just slept and showered there. There is plenty of space for the whole family. Our kids loved the bunk room.

Jodi’s cabin was peferct for our mountain trip. Only about a 10 minute drive to downtown. Cabin was well furnished and I loved the fall decor. Beds were comfortable as well.
This property was great. You are in the woods on a quiet culdesac but still close to everything you need and no scary roads. The cabin had all the amenities needed and was comfortable and cozy for our group of 7. Would definitely stay again!
Spent a week at the cabin with our family and had a great time! Centrally located to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, we were able to do a lot. Cabin was very clean and had everything we needed to prepare meals. Hot tub was great after a long day.

About the host
Hosted by Jodi Rutledge
Hi! We are a Mississippi family who loves to travel, especially to the Smoky Mountains. Our love for the area is what led us to become cabin owners. We want to bring some Mississippi hospitality to our cabin and help other families make memories and enjoy the beauty of the Smokies just like we do.
Why they chose this property
Magnolia Bear Den was purchased, renovated, furnished, and decorated with families in mind! There's a master king bed suite with a custom tile shower, a king bed in the second bedroom, a bunk room with two bunks for the kids, and a large common bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub. The open concept kitchen and living area or deck areas outside make the perfect spots to hang out and spend time with each other.
What makes this property unique
Magnolia Bear Den is nestled in a quiet, wooded corner in a cul de sac. It's quiet and private yet close to all of the nearby attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The roads to the cabin are paved and in excellent condition. (No scary mountain roads). Greenbrier Cove is five minutes away. This is our favorite spot in the Smokies. The Little Pigeon River runs through it. The scenic drive is breathtaking. This is our favorite picnic spot, and there are plenty of hiking trails and places to explore here if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature.
