Great cabin in a great location
We recently stayed a week in Old Bears Lodge. This was our second stay in this cabin. We absolutely love all the bear decor and the coziness of the cabin. It’s very convenient to local restaurants and entertainment. The owner is quick to respond. The check in and check out could not be easier! The stairs leading into the cabin are a little steep for those who are older or can’t get around as well as others. Overall, it’s a great cabin and we would absolutely recommend it!

I can't say enough about Geri and her properties. We just returned home yesterday and we wish were were still there. We have stayed at a "Geri" cabin for the last three years and will continue to stay with her. We loved the cabin and Geri is wonderful. I can't give a higher recommendation. Jerry

Adorable cabin that felt like it was in the middle of nowhere, yet close to everything.
We absolutely LOVED our stay in this cabin! It was very cozy and would be a great location for a Fall or Winter visit with the fireplace and hot tub. The two King suites made for enough separation for our family and we all commented on our great nights of sleep. The driveway would be a bit steep for someone elderly, but if you park right, you don't notice it. Geri was very responsive the one time I reached out. My issue was with the door lock, but that was more of our misunderstanding the instructions and her patiently talking us through. Finally, the porch was a great place for us to spend our evenings. Our dog loved it too! Thanks for a great place for our annual family trip.

I live in Nashville & have been going to the Great Smoky Mountains all of my life. It all started when my Daddy would take the whole family there every year. I loved it then & I still love it now. The Smoky Mountains have so many wonderful memories of my childhood & I never get tired of going there. These days, my trips are with my Great Pyrenees, Buddy. His favorite thing to do is to layout on the deck and watch for bears that come to visit.

Why they chose this property

My love of mountain cabins began when I bought my first cabin called the Chocolate Moose in 2007. Over the years, I learned there was a real need for cabins that could be accessed without traveling on any mountain roads. Old Bears Lodge cabinis perfect for that. There are absolutely NO mountain roads to travel & the location is super convenient when you want to visit all the wonderful area attractions, outlet malls & restaurants in Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg. Also, it is conveniently located to I40 just a half-mile from Soaky Mountain Water Park, the newest area water park that consists of 50 acres of fun-filled activities for the entire family and The Wilderness Water Park.

What makes this property unique

There are NO white-knuckle-scary-mountain roads to travel going to Old Bears Lodge cabin. It is very convenient to I40, it is located close to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg activities. It is on a very quiet street just off of the main road at Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg.

This adorable bear-fun-filled cozy log cabin is ONE level 2 bedroom, 2 bath log cabin.

Old Bears Lodge has 2 king bedrooms, one bedroom is on the north end of the cabin & the other bedroom is on the south end of the cabin, offering maximum privacy. Each bedroom has its own full bath inside its bedroom for complete privacy from the rest of the cabin.
