Spectacular Mountain Views! 2 Car Garage! Gameroom! Fireplaces! Hot Tub! Ober!
When you arrive at A Bear Above cabin, you will experience amazing, majestic, mountain views of Mt LeConte. This roomy cabin is perched above the Ober Mountain ski lodge and downtown Gatlinburg with the National Park boundary, and an entrance to Cove Mountain trail, just across the road. Private and quiet location for family fun or getaway for couples looking to recharge. Near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance, Ober Mountain Ski Resort, Downtown Gatlinburg, and Gatlinburg bypass to Pigeon Forge. This mountain retreat is easily in one of the most convenient locations in the Smokies. Being across the road from the National Park, makes this particular cabin great for wildlife encounters (black bears). Please Be Bear Aware. Keep your distance from the bears and do not feed them! Remove all food from your vehicles as a deterrent . A great way to see the area is from the nearby Aerial Tram to Gatlinburg. For entertainment, nearby Ober Mountain (formerly known as Ober Gatlinburg) has the Ski Mountain Coaster, Zip line, a wildlife zoo, Mountain bike trail, ice skating, snow skiing, alpine slide, snow tubing, scenic chairlift, rock wall climbing, kiddie umbrella ride, amaze'n'maze, carousel, trails, ice bumper cars, shops, and dining. Gatlinburg provides great fun during all seasons. This is one of the only cabins with great views in all three (3) directions.

All the rear windows face Southeast towards the spectacular mountain views of Mt LeConte and Chimney Tops.

Overall this cabin was amazing! The views are incredible and we really enjoyed our stay! The host was responsive to our questions and issues plus entry was easy! Be aware that some of the roads are narrow and windy. I wouldn't recommend this house if you're a nervous or newer driver! It's worth noting that if you're looking to sit outside in the quiet, the hot tub is set to maintain temperature and can be loud at times, especially during chilly nights. It also seemed like we were the first booking in a while and the cabin could have used a bit of a more thorough cleaning as well as some maintenance but both of these were minor.

We're glad you enjoyed your stay! Yes the mountain roads can be tricky, however, we are lucky to have a two lane paved road leading up to our cabin. In all cases, it is best to respect the mountain roads and be mindful of your surroundings. Our cleaning crew / Inspectors send detailed photos after each clean and we are confidant the cabin is maintained properly. I wish you would have let us know of your findings while there. We would have been happy to help you. Thanks again!
We Loved the cabin! It had everything you could ever need and was so clean. Communication with host was excellent. It is way up the mountain, which we loved. The garage was tight- but we were able to get our Tundra in. The view was pretty and it was decorated for Christmas

We are so glad you loved the cabin! Thank you for your kind words!
Everything was absolutely perfect, besides the weather which obviously can’t be controlled. The host and cabin were great! I would highly recommend this cabin for a wonderful stay in the mountains. Be prepared to drive curvy, narrow roads to get to and from the cabin but once you do, you will be glad you did! We hated to leave!

The chalet was beautiful and the mountain views were magnificent. The hosts kept us informed on the snow alert, and even offered to let us stay for free if we were snowed in. That was impressive and demonstrated their concern for the safety of their guests.

Pros: Responsive owners; old but very clean, beautifully decorated home; spacious living room with ample seating; gorgeous views; close to the center; well-equipped kitchen.Cons: Only one small roll of thin cheap paper towels was provided for a group of 7 adults plus children; the mattresses were very uncomfortable; no towels were provided for the hot tub, and we had to use bath towels to wipe up bleach-treated water; floors/beds creak through the house

In response to your remarks, the mattresses are new, the house is sturdy and the floors do not creak, more than ample fresh towels are provided throughout the cabin in each bathroom, proper bromine tabs are added to the cleaned hot tub on every turn, paper products are standard and are there to get you started on your vacation along with kitchen towels for your use. If you had contacted us we would have tried to discuss and or resolve your issues, but no contact was made on your part. We are glad you were able to enjoy the fantastic views of Mt. Leconte and the beautiful decor provided.
My friends and I had a great stay at this cabin! There was ample sleeping space, and we appreciated being able to park in the 2-car garage. It was a short 10-minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg, and the views from the deck were beautiful!

We are so glad you enjoyed our cabin and got to see the wonderful bears! Thank you again for your kind words! Cindy & Mark
The most perfect cabin! Nestled away from it all but only 15 min to downtown. Very spacious and immaculate inside. The views are spectacular. It’s quiet and peaceful and I never wanted to leave. The video game console and game room was so much fun, my 15 year old never wanted to leave. The hot tub was clean and hot upon arrival no need to heat it! The kitchen was stacked with anything you needed the hosts Mark and Cindy have thought of everything! Every time I messaged the hosts I got a response within minutes. And on our last evening there, a family of 4 bears hung out in the backyard it was magical. I’m sure there’s tons of cabin rentals that are amazing but I’ll never see any of them because I’ll be back at “A Bear Above” every time! Thank you! Tom and Michelle and family kids 15,11,10

We are so glad you all enjoyed the cabin! We would love for you to all come back! Thank you so much for your kind words. The bears are most active in June/July and are wonderful to observe. Thank you again! Cindy & Mark
The ‘A Bear Above’ chateau was beautiful! Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of Mt. Leconte from the deck and loved seeing black bears near the property. We also enjoyed the game room in the lower level. If you want to be up in the mountains that is the place to stay!

This house was amazing. It had everything that we needed and more. We were so excited to see bears two different nights. The atmosphere was cozy and relaxing.
This property is the best property I have ever booked. It is so clean, the views are amazing, and it was large enough to hold my bigger family very comfortably. There was something for every person in the family: game room, hot tub, pools nearby, and of course the bears. We had more fun just hanging out at the cabin than we did exploring the town!

My family and I had a wonderful time. The view from the cabin was breathtaking. Several levels of outside decks gave us a view of the mountains. The decks were nice to view the bears too. We saw bears daily throughout the neighborhood as we drove to and from town. The cabin itself was beautiful, very clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. Property owners were readily available to answer any questions.
