This is our favorite place to stay in Gatlinburg. This was our third year in a row and we’ve already booked for 2027. The cabin is always clean and inviting. Communication with the host is excellent. The check-in process is super easy and we’ve never had any issues. Whether you are in town for all the excitement in downtown Gatlinburg or looking for a relaxing weekend getaway, this cabin offers the best of both worlds. I highly recommend this cabin and the host and look forward to coming back year after year.

We had an absolutely great time during our stay while in Gatlinburg. The cabin was in a great location, close enough to downtown but up the mountain. Awesome view from the deck and hot tub that was enjoyed with the sunrise and sunsets. Had the neighborhood bear visit our last night. Very spacious cabin that felt like a home. The cabin was spotless and the kitchen had everything you may need to make meals and a programmer coffee pot. Both bathrooms were a very nice size.Jess was absolutely fantastic. Responded back quickly and came over to fix a small issue that arised. Will definitely be booking for our next trip!

The cabin was awesome! It was clean, we had a great view, and it was quiet. We didn't cook but the kitchen seemed to have everything you would ever need. We weren't far from the main part of Gatlinburg either. We would 100% stay there again. The hot tub was nice after a long day of hiking also. Very easy booking process too. Thank you!

Hi Marie, thanks for letting me know about the coffee warmer. If I had known during your stay, I definitely would have brought you a new coffee maker. I will get it replaced this week! Thank you for staying at Downtown Bear Cabin and glad you enjoyed your trip despite the road detour in your travels! -Jess
