The cabin was incredible! Very clean and well kept. We loved the rustic look. We had friends visiting from the UK for the first time in the US and had never seen such a beautiful and rustic cabin. They fell in love with it. We were equally as impressed. Truly a gem of a property. Very peaceful and relaxing atmosphere, yet a very short distance to the National Park and stores and restaurants. Highly recommended!

Very nice cabin in Townsend. Close to Smoky Mountains, Pigeon Forge, and Gatlinburg.A Bears Den suited our needs perfectly, allowing us to bring along our pet while we explored the area. The large deck with gates at both ends was a nice feature to keep the dog from wandering off on her own. Great place, great location, friendly owners and neighbors! We will definitely stay again in the future.

Peace on the mountain!

The cabin is a peaceful and quiet place to stay. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked very inviting. Sitting on the wrap around porch was extremely relaxing. I recommend this cabin to anyone and will come back for another stay.

Perfect place for a quiet week away on the peaceful side of the mountains. The local people we met were very kind ,helpful, and welcoming to the area. The cabin was just as described. Pillows on the master bed on first floor were very hard but I did have my own pillow.

This was a perfect location for our short stay over Memorial Day! Plenty of room for a family of 5-8 people. Pet friendly! Very quiet! Cabin is clean and equipped with all necessities for cooking! Short distance to Pigeon Forge or any attractions in the area! Loved our stay and we will definitely book again!

Stay at Bears Den

Cabin was beautiful. Very accurate description. Cleanliness was top notch. Kitchen was well equipped. Was pet friendly. Large porch with swings and gates that latched so Willow could be outside but confined. Would highly recommend.
