About this property

Gatlinburg cabin, 3 bed 2 bath, hot tub, no scary roads, PERFECT location

Welcome! Our sweet Mississippi family loves the Smoky Mountains, and we are excited to be bringing some "Magnolia State" hospitality to Gatlinburg, Tennessee! Go find and like us on Facebook at Magnolia Bear Retreats!
Magnolia Bear Den is a 3 bed 2 bath newly renovated cozy cabin nestled at the end of a cul de sac in Gatlinburg's Arts and Crafts District. Spend some time on the Arts and Crafts Loop where you can find the perfect souvenir to remember your vacation by. It is truly amazing to see the talents possessed by the local craftsmen. Magnolia Bear Den is less than ten minutes from all of the action in downtown Gatlinburg, less than thirty minutes from Pigeon Forge or the Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance, and approximately five minutes from our favorite spot in the Smokies, Greenbrier Cove. Take a short walk to Mills Park and enjoy all it has to offer, including a playground, picnic area, disc golf course, and Gatlinburg trolley stop. Also nearby is the Gatlinburg Community Center. For a minimal fee, guests may take advantage of the community center's fitness facility, bowling alley, or indoor swimming pool. For you golfers, Bent Creek Golf Course is only ten minutes away.
Or enjoy time together with your family just hanging out at the cabin. The master en suite's custom built tile shower or the common bathroom's jacuzzi tub are both great ways to relax and wind down after a busy day of sight-seeing. Eating out is always a treat, but sometimes you may want to just skip the wait at the restaurants and grill out or prepare a meal in the fully-stocked kitchen for your family. The little and big kids alike can enjoy the multi-arcade game connected to the tv in the bunk room. Get a good night's rest and wake up the next morning to enjoy coffee and quiet time on the deck. Then, go get ready for another day of making Smoky Mountain memories with your family.

IMPORTANT DATES - Guests may not check-out on certain holidays or days thereafter. Please note that you will be asked to change or cancel your booking if check-outs fall on the following dates: Thanksgiving Day, Black Friday, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Years Eve, New Years Day, or July 4th.

PLEASE NOTE - Refunds are not available due to inclement weather, natural disasters, power outages, acts of God, or other things beyond our control. We recommend that you purchase travel insurance to cover such instances.

Family Summer Vacation

Everything was perfect from check-in to check-out. Location was perfect, rooms are big enough. My only complaint would be there is no dresser in kids rooms (bunk beds) would have loved one but used the one in the master room.Besides that we loved the cabin.

Very nice cabin close to town. Communication with host was great. No complaints at all. King size bed was great as well. More cabin than 2 of us needed but way better than a motel or hotel for room. Thank you so much. We really enjoyed it. Highly recommend it.

Beautiful cabin! Excellent experience!

The cabin was excellent! Very clean! Peaceful, quiet location but close enough to everything you need & want! Beds were all very comfortable. Everything available to cook in or to cook out on the grill. The porch was so nice for sitting & relaxing early in the morning, during the day, and in the afternoon/evening after a long day out & about. Excellent host & easy to get in touch with. Could not have asked for a better experience. Would definitely recommend.

Best VRBO experience yet!

This property was the perfect fit for our large family. Most of our kids don't want to share beds, and this property had the perfect arrangement for us. We were struck by how clean the property was. Most VRBO properties have old cast-off beds and linens, but his one has new (feeling) mattresses and fresh linens. The location was convenient to everything we wanted - grocery stores, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Dollywood. Quiet, peaceful neighborhood allowed our kids to get the rest they needed.

BEAUTIFUL cabin in the perfect location!

If I could give this 10 stars, I would! Traveled to Gatlinburg with my husband, 2 boys (13,3), and my husbands aunt for my sons birthday. Originally booked for 4 nights but ended up staying for 5. This cabin exceeded all of our expectations!! Upon walking into the cabin - you could instantly see that it is very well kept and it gives a wonderful “home” feeling. We loved everything about it! The beds are comfortable, decor is beautiful, hot tub works perfect, and the fireplace in the living room is the perfect spot to sit near and play boards games on the chilly nights. The only problem I had is that we didn’t spend enough time at the cabin! My son wanted to explore all day everyday so our time in the cabin was a little limited but we loved every second spent there. I would wake up early and sit on the deck just breathing in the mountain air and listening to the animals. Location is perfect! Walking distance to the park and only a couple minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg. The cul-de-sac was very quiet as well so we didn’t deal with any noise issues. I cannot wait to book our next stay here! Thank you Jodi for opening up your beautiful cabin for others to make memories! We made some of our best memories all thanks to you!

Great Stay with Family

I stayed here with my kids, ages 6 and 9. Check-in and check-out were completely painless. The kitchen was well stocked with cookware and dishes. Beds seemed clean, and there were plenty of extra blankets. Bathrooms had toilet paper, lots of towels and washcloths, and hand soap. Kids loved the video game in the bedroom. We saw two black bears at the top of the driveway, including one that came onto the porch and right up to the front door. Location is convenient, but also has great privacy.

About the host

Hosted by Jodi Rutledge

Host profile image
Hi! We are a Mississippi family who loves to travel, especially to the Smoky Mountains. Our love for the area is what led us to become cabin owners. We want to bring some Mississippi hospitality to our cabin and help other families make memories and enjoy the beauty of the Smokies just like we do.

Why they chose this property

Magnolia Bear Den was purchased, renovated, furnished, and decorated with families in mind! There's a master king bed suite with a custom tile shower, a king bed in the second bedroom, a bunk room with two bunks for the kids, and a large common bathroom with a shower and jacuzzi tub. The open concept kitchen and living area or deck areas outside make the perfect spots to hang out and spend time with each other.

What makes this property unique

Magnolia Bear Den is nestled in a quiet, wooded corner in a cul de sac. It's quiet and private yet close to all of the nearby attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The roads to the cabin are paved and in excellent condition. (No scary mountain roads). Greenbrier Cove is five minutes away. This is our favorite spot in the Smokies. The Little Pigeon River runs through it. The scenic drive is breathtaking. This is our favorite picnic spot, and there are plenty of hiking trails and places to explore here if you want to take a break from the hustle and bustle and enjoy nature.
