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

Cabin is beautiful and we had an absolutely wonderful celebration of our birthdays. Last night/evening around 7:45, we were sitting on the porch having a great time and a bear came from either under the deck or around the back side. Walked around our vehicles and proceeded to the neighbors vehicle. They had left their trunk open from bringing in groceries. The bear decided to treat himself to their orange fanta and coca colas in the trunk. When he grabbed them out of the trunk, he bit down and they sprayed him in the face. We have everything on video. This was unbelievable because in the 30 years we've visited, we have never seen anything like that happen. Of course we've seen bears at Cade's Cove and from a distance but never something like this. Made this trip absolutely memorable.

We had an excellent stay at Downtown Bear Cabin! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, making it easy to enjoy shops, restaurants, and attractions without dealing with heavy traffic.The cabin itself was cozy and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It felt private and peaceful while still being close to everything, which was the best of both worlds. Parking was easy, check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was great.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable place to stay near downtown Gatlinburg!
