VIEW! VIEW! VIEW! Check out our spectacular panoramic view including Mt. LeConte - third highest peak in the Smokies!
Whether you are looking to get away from it all or want the excitement of Dollywood, Splash Country and all that the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg areas have to offer, Bear Haven is where you'll want to stay. It offers the peace and tranquility of the mountains and the convenience of being just minutes away from the Pigeon Forge Parkway.
Kick back and relax on our large deck. It’s well furnished with rocking chairs and a picnic table and the panoramic view of the Smokies can’t be beat. From English Mountain to Mt.

And you can bring your fur baby! We welcome adult dogs that are well behaved, fully housebroken and free of fleas and ticks so be sure to tell us something about your dog when you inquire.

Meal time will be a pleasure. The well-equipped kitchen has everything you need to prepare anything from a light snack to a full meal. If grilling is more to your liking, the gas grill is ready and waiting just outside the deck.
When you are ready to head out for the day, it is an easy four mile drive back to the parkway and the many activities it has to offer – shopping, live shows, dinner shows, restaurants, go-karts, mini-golf - it's all close by.

The house is so comfortable and the view is to die for! We had plenty of room and enjoyed the fireplace at night. Close to all activities but good to get away. We hope to come back soon
This was the first time to the Smokies for my sister, nephew and his family, this cabin did not disappoint.. They wanted to see a bear and have great Mountain views.
We had a great time. The view was the most incredible site. We’ve been coming to this area for 15yrs and this cabin had the best views. Very clean. Close to all of the attractions. Very affordable. Everything was perfect
This property was everything it promised and more! The owner was prompt to reply with questions, the cabin was perfect for us - plenty of room, a nice hot tub, space to relax on the deck, and THE VIEW! The entire Smoky Mountain experience was wonderful, and this property was perfect for us. We will be back!
Pictures don't do this cabin justice!! We loved this cabin we intentionally looked for cabins that would fit our family including my mother-in-law and father-in-law who are 82. We were sold on the views of this place with bathroom and bedrooms on the bottom level. We were blew away when we walked in the cabin it was so cute and we all loved the decorations and then we walked on the deck and the view was amazing. It was beautiful! My in laws loved that they could walk on the deck anytime with no steps actually they said they have never had a view so pretty and they have been coming to the Pigeon Forge area for many years. We also got to bring our fur baby Lady along. Peggy the owner was so nice and communicated great. If you are looking for a cabin great for the whole family this is it:)
This was our second stay at Bear Haven and we loved it! The cabin is very comfortable and full of all the things we needed for our stay. The porch has an amazing view and you feel tucked away from it all but it’s only a short drive back to Pigeon Forge. We will stay again!!
The road to paradise is steep, but dang is it ever worth the trip. Bear Haven is in great shape, awesome views, great accommodations, everything needed to feel like home. Very comfortable place to spend some quiet time. Close to everything. The host (Peggy) was great from start to finish. We will be back.
Bear Haven was a great cabin to stay at. It is tucked out of the way for some peace and quite, but still about 15min to the main strip in Pigeon Forge. The view off the deck is beautiful! We saw some great sunrises from the deck. The cabin was beautifully decorated for fall, too. Overall, Bear Haven was a wonderful place to stay.
The view at the property was AMAZING! The hot tub was nicely located so you could still see the views and you could relax in the rocking chair. Peggy was very nice to work with. We are looking forward to another trip to TN!
Our family really enjoyed our stay at Bear Haven. The owner was very organized and well prepared for guests. The view was spectacular from the back porch. We really enjoyed coming back to such a peaceful setting after spending the day sightseeing. We really enjoyed the extra little touches and thought put into everything to make our stay special. A well stocked kitchen, grill, and hot tub were great to have.
My family spent a few days at Bear Haven and had a wonderful time. The property is clean, comfortable, and extremely well stocked. I definitely overpacked based on previous cabins I've stayed at that were not nearly as well stocked as this one. The beds are comfortable, the hot tub was amazing, and the views are breathtaking. Watching the sunrise is definitely a must! We had such a great time and I would highly recommend staying at Bear Haven.
Extremely clean, beautifully decorated, well stocked. Anything you could want is in the kitchen cabinets, many games for the family. Amazing views. This is by far one of the best cabins I have ever stayed in in this area. Communication with the host was easy. I will definitely recommend this rental to friends and family.
We stayed in bear haven during spring break. The photographs do not show how pretty and immaculate the cabin was. The views were amazing. Perfect sun rises from the veranda. The location was perfect close to everything. The hot tub was a perfect addition . We had an amazing time and absolutely loved the cabin. Would highly recommend others to stay here. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you Peggy. X
It was our annual family vacation and this year we took our doggies, Groot and Nova with us. This place is absolutely gorgeous. The porch is the best place and we spent most of our time on it. There were two screened doors that enclosed the porch so the pups could explore and check out the views without being on a leash. All the little touches in the cabin were so unexpected and appreciated. Had an amazing time and was so sad to leave. Thank you for sharing your place because my family had so much fun and much needed down time.
Great property away from the hustle and bustle of the main area but very centrally located for easy access to everything you’d want to do in this area. Some of the pretties views I’ve seen. The property was just what we needed with everything we would have needed. The hot tub was a very nice perk which we used often. Beautiful wood deck that seemed relatively new. The floors in the upstairs bathroom need to be repaired, very creaky. But overall it was an amazing vacation for my family and I.
We called the property manager on Monday as our trip was booked for Weds-Saturday and last minute we’re interested in coming a day early. Peggy had an answer for us within 15 min and we were able to start our vacation early. The cabin is beautifully decorated. The kitchen has everything you could want and more! She really thought of everything. We even brought our two dogs and she had treats out for them in the kitchen! The view from the porch is breathtaking! We also took advantage of the wood burning fireplace as well! Kids loved the hot tub too! The bedrooms and bathrooms are on the small side but you’re only in them to sleep and the beds are VERY comfortable! We will be back! Thanks Peggy!
Beautiful two level cabin. Was stocked with everything we needed to start off with from bathroom to kitchen. Kitchen had everything we needed from pots and pans to a small crock pot. Beds are comfortable. King bed is upstairs along with one of the bathrooms and the pool table. All the bedrooms and bathrooms are small but it's all you really need. However most of our family is tall and it would have been nice for the ceiling in the upstairs bathroom to be a little higher. The porch is really nice for morning coffee, rocking and looking at the awsome mountain view. No need for 4wd in the summer, but the drive up to the cabin is steep and narrow pretty much all the way. Thankfully we never met anyone either way. We would definitely stay here again. If you love mountain views this is definitely for you!

About the host
Hosted by Peggy Hobson
My husband, Lonnie, and I vacationed in the Smokies for many years. It was always a dream of ours to own a cabin in Pigeon Forge and in 2005 we were able to make that dream come true. We have created many wonderful memories at Bear Haven with our adult children and their families and we are happy to be able to share this dream with you, too. We personally answer all inquiries for Bear Haven, and, in conjunction with our cleaning and maintenance company, we work hard to provide you with a wonderful and relaxing 'home away from home' for your next vacation.
Drop us an email or give us a call. We're always happy to hear from you!

Why they chose this property
The Pigeon Forge area offers such a wide variety of things to do. From hiking in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park with its awesome vistas, to visiting one of the many live shows, to shopping at any of the wonderful outlet stores in search of that great bargain we are always able to find something to keep us busy no matter what the season!
In the years before buying Bear Haven, we actually rented several cabins on our road. It was such a peaceful and quiet location yet so convenient to the Parkway and all the activities! When we finally decided to purchase a cabin we looked at dozens of cabins but always migrated back to this area. In the end, it was an easy decision - our hearts were here!
What makes this property unique
Relax, renew and refresh! What more can I say? The view of Mt. LeConte from our deck is absolutely awesome! No matter what the season the view is beautiful. In winter, there is a chance you will see the distant mountain tops covered in snow. Come spring and everything is budding out in the brightest of greens. Summertime reveals the mature deep greens of all the trees and in the fall they put on their brightest colors - rich reds, oranges, and golds!
And the best part is that all of this is just minutes from the Parkway so when you have recharged your spirits you can get back to all the activities in no time at all!
