Why You'll Love Staying at Midtown Bears Den

Luxurious interiors and a convenient location make Midtown Bears Den your dream destination for a Gatlinburg vacation. Located in a quiet neighborhood, this resort condo is an escape from hustle and bustle, yet it’s close to the excitement of downtown Gatlinburg. The two-bedroom condo welcomes up to six guests for your Smoky Mountains adventures. Come see why this Den is right for you!

Living Room

A stacked stone fireplace is the heart of this cozy living area. Sink onto the soft sofa or loveseat and watch the flames dance while you sip on Tennessee fruit wine. Relish your favorite shows on the flat screen TV without worrying about work or chores tomorrow! A whole wall of windows fills this bright space with sunshine. Open the French doors and let in the fresh mountain air.

Kitchen

The open plan kitchen lets everyone chat with the chef. The fully equipped kitchen has all the cookware, dishes and serving utensils you need, whether you’re feeding a crowd or creating a romantic dinner for two. With plenty of storage, ample counter space and a convenient layout, the kitchen makes food prep and cleanup easy. The bar counter can seat four guests.

Dining Area

The dining area is steps from the kitchen, so food arrives at the table piping hot! Eating here is like dining in an upscale bistro, thanks to elegantly upholstered chairs, a beveled-edge table and touches like a beautiful clock and graceful chandelier.

Bedrooms

Breathe deeply and relax. You’re lying on a supremely comfortable king bed in the master bedroom. This suite is so luxurious, you might just linger here all day! You’ll love the rich, dark wood furnishings, private access to the balcony and a bedroom fireplace for cozy nights. The ensuite bathroom features a jetted tub. Let the warm water massage your muscles after a long day of hiking or exploring Dollywood.

The second bedroom features equally elegant furniture, a queen bed and another ensuite bathroom with a shower and tub combo. Need more sleeping space? A sleeper sofa converts into a queen bed, so everyone gets a good night’s rest.

Outdoor Spaces

Step onto the covered balcony with your morning coffee and enjoy some quiet time. Comfortable chairs make this a great spot for reading that book you’ve been meaning to finish. Use the full-sized table for outdoor dining.

Great location, loved that the fireplace was on a switch so we could turn it on/off easily. It worked so well and we loved sitting around it watching movies. Incredibly clean!! And the patio was such a nice part as well, we enjoyed people watching with a cup of coffee and snacks!

Convenient location

Very clean, convenient location, easy to get into. A bit of a walk to downtown (but be warned that the walk back is uphill) or an easy drive if you don't mind paying to park downtown. There was a minor problem with the A/C and they were instantly responsive and fixed it same-day. Would stay again. Recommended.

Hi Matthew, Thank you so much for your kind review! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the cleanliness, convenient location, and easy check-in process. You're absolutely right—the walk back from downtown is a bit of a climb, but we’re happy to hear it didn’t dampen your stay. We also appreciate you mentioning our quick response to the A/C issue—our team always aims to handle anything that comes up as promptly as possible. It means a lot that you'd choose to stay with us again. You're always welcome back!

Within walking distance and cozy condo!

We have stayed at this location for about 6 years, however never in this particular condo. It was just as nice as the others. Very clean and comfortable. The beds are also comfortable. The walking distance to the main strip is a definite plus since you have to pay to park. Will definitely return.

Fall Trip

Overall the condo is adorable, well decorated and nicely furnished. We enjoyed our stay very much. A couple of items need attention…front bathroom shower/tub doesn’t drain well and retains water when showering…master shower needs a commercial cleaning. Otherwise everything was very clean.

Nice, clean place

This condo has everything you'd need. Only complaint, if any, is it needs a couple towel bars in the bathrooms and closet space to hang clothes. There are hangers on doors but I prefer to put clothes away in the closet so they're not just hanging everywhere but that is strictly a preference. The staff is super helpful and this condo is just behind the main Gatlinburg Parkway. It is truly within walking distance. Some places I've stayed advertise that but aren't really that close to the Parkway. You have to take a trolley but this condo is absolutely within walking distance. Far enough from the main parkway that you don't hear much noise but close enough to walk. Very nice place and plan to stay here again when in Gatlinburg.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! We're thrilled to hear that you found the condo well-equipped and enjoyed the convenient location—being close to the Parkway yet just far enough for peace and quiet is something we’re really proud of. We also appreciate your feedback about the towel bars and closet space. Guest input like yours helps us continually improve, and we’ll certainly take your suggestions into consideration for future updates. It’s wonderful to know you plan to stay with us again the next time you're in Gatlinburg. We look forward to welcoming you back!

Enjoyed our spring break

Overall, our stay was peaceful and quiet, which we really appreciated. The location wasn’t bad—about a half-mile walk to the strip, so keep that in mind if you’re planning to be out and about a lot.There were a couple of things that could be improved. The note left for guests regarding items being taken felt a bit off-putting. While we understand the intent behind it, it wasn’t the most welcoming first impression and came across as a bit tacky.We also noticed that the blankets had a faint “closet” smell, and we ran out of hot water a couple of times. With six people and two bathrooms, that’s somewhat understandable, but still worth noting.That said, if you’re looking for a calm and quiet spot that’s not too far from the action, this place could work well.

Thank you for taking the time to share your thoughtful feedback. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere and convenient location during your stay. We also appreciate you pointing out the areas where we can improve. We’re sorry that the welcome note didn’t leave the best impression—we’ll be reviewing the language to ensure it’s both informative and more warmly worded in the future. Additionally, we’ll address the blankets and hot water capacity to enhance comfort for larger groups. Your comments help us create a better experience for all our guests, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back again soon.
