About this property

Big Porch and Wide Open Spaces

Welcome to Country Bears Hall! We are a handicap accessible home in Wears Valley. We do not have steps to get in our home and provide a wider door frame to help accomdate wheel chairs and walkers! (We are not ADA approved) We pride ourselves in offering a hot tub, free wifi, and cable tv! Come enjoy a view off the 60 ft. front porch and relax in peace and quiet of the smokies. Our cabin is on a lot of just over an acre, so let the kids run through the yard while you enjoy the view! Bears have been known to be in our area and you could be one of the lucky ones to see them! We can accommodate up to 4 cars in our driveway. We offer a 3 bedroom with King size beds in each room, which are all on the main floor. We have a loft upstairs that has 2 twin size beds and a pool table. Enjoy the back deck that has a propane grill and a 6 person hot tub! On those cold winter nights you can enjoy the fireplace and sit together in the living room as a family that has seating for 9 people! Down the street we have a pond that is catch and release (fishing supplies not provided) and at the front of our subdivision is the Honeysuckle Pool where you can go enjoy with your family when its open! Our home is located within an HOA so you never have to worry about the neighborhood not being to your expectations! We look forward to you staying with us!

This was by far our most favorite place we have stayed while visiting the Smokey Mountains. The cabin was beautiful inside and had plenty of room and space for all of our family. Outside the porch was our favorite for taking in the gorgeous view. We will definitely book with Carla again.

Host was very responsive! Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Loved that the bedrooms and living area were all on the lower level. Was great for a 1 year old and my dad who is handicapped not having to use a bunch of stairs!

Kitchen was pretty well stocked as we cooked a few meals- we enjoyed the hot tub and used the gas grill- which is when we saw a mama bear and her 2 cubs come by in the yard- the neighborhood is quite- lots of hills. Cabin was large, very clean and had everything we needed.

Perfect weekend getaway

This is now our favorite cabin and we’ve stayed in quite a few over the years! Perfect setup with plenty of seating. Super clean! Great location, close enough to all the things but far enough out to feel nature-y. We will definitely be returning!

Fit our family needs very well. It was absolutely beautiful and extremely clean. Surrounding area was lovely and nicely secluded but not too far from things to do. Loved seeing bear in the backyard. Only needed a few things to make the stay just a bit better for a group of 6 adults. But overall, my favorite place to stay this far.

Hey Jason, we are so glad to hear that you enjoyed your time. Bears are incredibly popular in our area if you will be so kind to share the things that we can add to our place we would love to do that. We always want to accommodate people and be the best host we can!

Long weekend

Beautiful home in the mountains. While you do have some minor traffic around the property it’s very tranquil. Enjoyed the short drives to town, hiking trails and eateries. Hot tub after a long hike was greatly appreciated. Wonderful time!

This was our third year to stay here and plan on going back next year. Need I say more. The minute you pull in you start to relax. We have looked around in this area and other area and none compare to this fantastic place. The owner spared no expense in furnishing this home. Great great host !!!
