About this property

Spectacular Mountain Views! 2 Car Garage! Gameroom! Fireplaces! Hot Tub! Ober!

When you arrive at A Bear Above cabin, you will experience amazing, majestic, mountain views of Mt LeConte. This roomy cabin is perched above the Ober Mountain ski lodge and downtown Gatlinburg with the National Park boundary, and an entrance to Cove Mountain trail, just across the road. Private and quiet location for family fun or getaway for couples looking to recharge. Near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance, Ober Mountain Ski Resort, Downtown Gatlinburg, and Gatlinburg bypass to Pigeon Forge. This mountain retreat is easily in one of the most convenient locations in the Smokies. Being across the road from the National Park, makes this particular cabin great for wildlife encounters (black bears). Please Be Bear Aware. Keep your distance from the bears and do not feed them! Remove all food from your vehicles as a deterrent . A great way to see the area is from the nearby Aerial Tram to Gatlinburg. For entertainment, nearby Ober Mountain (formerly known as Ober Gatlinburg) has the Ski Mountain Coaster, Zip line, a wildlife zoo, Mountain bike trail, ice skating, snow skiing, alpine slide, snow tubing, scenic chairlift, rock wall climbing, kiddie umbrella ride, amaze'n'maze, carousel, trails, ice bumper cars, shops, and dining. Gatlinburg provides great fun during all seasons. This is one of the only cabins with great views in all three (3) directions. The view facing the northeast side is towards Pigeon Forge & Sevierville in which direction you can see for miles and miles. All the rear windows face Southeast towards the spectacular mountain views of Mt LeConte and Chimney Tops.

My friends and I had a great stay at this cabin! There was ample sleeping space, and we appreciated being able to park in the 2-car garage. It was a short 10-minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg, and the views from the deck were beautiful!

The ‘A Bear Above’ chateau was beautiful! Very clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the view of Mt. Leconte from the deck and loved seeing black bears near the property. We also enjoyed the game room in the lower level. If you want to be up in the mountains that is the place to stay!

New Year's Family Vacation

Everything was amazing. This cabin was clean! Decorations for Christmas were beautiful. A fire in the fireplaces was the perfect way to relax and end the day! The hosts were easy to get in touch with. The roads going up to the cabin were steep and had some narrow parts and sharp turns, once you got to the top though, WOW! My family from 1yr old to 60yr old loved our stay!

Fantastic Family Escape

This house was perfect for our family vacation. (6 adults and 3 children (2 years, 1 year, 6 mo)) We loved the open space, the view, the awesome outdoor space. Even the breezeway even made a perfect cover when a rain storm interrupted our craft day. We all were most excited when a young bear decided to explore the porch. Saw bears everyday. Would highly recommend A Bear Above!!

Spacious, beautiful, and great location!

Stayed here for a spring break trip with our family of 4 plus my 2 parents. This home was perfect. Garage parking for both our cars, huge kitchen and living space. Each bedroom had a bathroom, perfect accommodations for our group. My kids (6 and 7) loved the pool table and arcade games on the lower level! Everyone had their own space, but there was ample living space for all of us to be together. The views are gorgeous. Lots of natural light in the house. We even saw a bear our first night! All around great stay, highly recommend. If we come back to the area, we will definitely stay here again.

Spacious and Great Two Car Garage

We really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. Other family members rented a cabin close by, and had many bear sightings there. Bears tend to break in cars and trash often in Chalet Village, so we felt extremely lucky to have a two-car garage to protect our vehicle. It was well worth paying a little more for the amenities— like the awesome arcade game with over 1000 games (our 6 year old twins loved it!), the hot tub, garage, and tons of deck space. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Easy check-in and check-out! 5 stars!

Fantastic views

We rented this cabin for our family of 6 adults. This cabin was spacious and beautiful. It had about everything we needed in the kitchen for preparing our meals, cookware needs upgrading but there was plenty of it. Everything seemed clean, plenty of linens, extra blankets and pillows in the closets, the mattresses could be upgraded but my husband and I have trouble with our backs, may not be a problem for others. Other than that, it’s a home away from home. We all really loved the cabin!!!

Beary Amazing!!

The cabin was absolutely amazing for our family vacation, we couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay in the Smoky Mountains. Everything was exactly as described in the listing and one of the cleanest rental properties I’ve ever stayed, it was spotless! We absolutely loved the decks overlooking the mountains, even though we never saw any bears right by the cabin, we saw quite a few on our climb up the mountain from Ski Mountain Rd to the cabin. We enjoyed the pool a few times throughout the week, unfortunately did not use the hot tub, just too warm of a week for us to use it. This cabin was the perfect location of secluded but convenient with it being about 10 minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and about 15-25 minutes to so many popular trails in Smoky Mountain National Park. The only thing I would add is the drive up to the cabin was very steep and would definitely recommend all wheel or 4 wheel drive, which we had and did not have any trouble. I would highly recommend this cabin, it truly was the best!!

Beautiful Cabin with Mountain view

My family and I had a wonderful time. The view from the cabin was breathtaking. Several levels of outside decks gave us a view of the mountains. The decks were nice to view the bears too. We saw bears daily throughout the neighborhood as we drove to and from town. The cabin itself was beautiful, very clean and cozy. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we could possibly need for our stay. Property owners were readily available to answer any questions.

Amazing getaway

The property was fantastic. Six members of our family rented this cabin for a long weekend getaway. The cabin was very clean, comfortable and updated. We took a blow up mattress with the intention of sleeping 2 people. We tried the sleeper sofa in the gaming room, and were pleasantly surprised at how comfortable it was. We used that instead. The cabin was very well stocked. Can’t think of anything we wish we would have had. We brought a crock pot which we could have left at home as there was one at the cabin. One of the best supplied cabins we have rented. The deck was an amazing place to hang out in the evening. The view from the deck is great but the trees are beginning to block the view a bit. The laundry facilities and garage were very nice and convenient . We saw bears around the property everyday so be advised to keep the front gate secure. The bears were not aggressive toward us but we stayed inside when they were around. It was a beautiful property that we highly recommend. It will not disappoint!

Absolutely Wonderful

This property is the best property I have ever booked. It is so clean, the views are amazing, and it was large enough to hold my bigger family very comfortably. There was something for every person in the family: game room, hot tub, pools nearby, and of course the bears. We had more fun just hanging out at the cabin than we did exploring the town!
