Embrace the Wild at the "Rustic Bear" Your Cozy Cabin Escape!

Welcome to the "Rustic Bear" cabin! This brand-new modern rustic-style cabin is sure to please the entire family. The property boasts two main-level bedrooms, each with a comfortable king-size bed. For additional sleeping options, there's a twin-size bunk bed and a sleeper sofa in the loft area. Feeling hungry? No worries, we've got you covered with a fully equipped kitchen featuring sleek stainless steel appliances. If you're in the mood for some friendly competition, you have your choice of pool, shuffleboard, or an arcade game located in the loft to satisfy your gaming cravings, or simply unwind beside the seasonal (Oct 1 - April 1) gas fireplace on those cool, crisp days. With a serene wooded view, make the most of the patio table and savor a sip of your favorite beverage. This cabin promises an incredible retreat right in the heart of the magnificent Smoky Mountains.

Sleeping arrangements: 2 King beds, 1 twin bunk bed, 1 sleeper sofa.

This cabin was so nice! Just like the picture. We were very close to Gatlinburg proper, less than 4 miles. The neighborhood was quiet.

Absolutely wonderful cabin! Had everything we needed to enjoy a nice vacation. Wide open rooms, all appliances worked, a hot tub that was heavenly, and a very peaceful and quiet location. Couldn’t ask for anything better. Plus the host was super detail oriented, easy to get in contact with, and made our stay as pleasant as possible.

Perfect, perfect, perfect

Looks exactly like the pictures, super clean, had everything we needed in the kitchen and by far the best location. Less than a ten minute drive to the strip, but still in the mountains with great views. The place checked EVERY one of our boxes and the rental company was the cherry on top. Can’t wait to stay here again!!

Nice home

The home was nice and in a great location. I have a few recommendations to get it to a 5 star rating- fix hot tub (didn't get hot), need more kitchen ware, (only 1 dish cloth and dish towel), and kitchen utensils (very bare).

We appreciate you taking the time to provide feedback on our property. Your insights are valuable to us. Regarding the hot tub, we want to assure you that it is in excellent working condition as it is a recent addition to our property. We did not have any reports of issues during your stay concerning the hot tub, and had we been informed, we would have promptly addressed your concerns. Additionally, we have taken note of your feedback regarding the kitchenware and utensils, and we have since made improvements. Please be aware that we provide one dishcloth and one dish towel per guest, as there are laundry facilities on the property for your convenience. You can easily replenish these as needed during your stay. We hope to have the pleasure of hosting you again in the future.

Excellent Choice

We typically stay further out and closer to running creeks, as I enjoy watching/listening to the creek flow while enjoying my morning coffee... however we switched it up this time and we are not disappointed. Very clean, great desks to enjoy breakfast & dinner on as a whole group. We can't wait to return.

Wonderful bedrooms. Lots of space. Comfortable mattresses is always a winner. Nice view from various windows.The light bulbs in almost all of the lamps are for 3-way touch lamps. Only the bulbs are 1 way bright white which flicker constantly.Probably would stress to bring some of your own frying pans - if you want to really cook.Gone are the days where complimentary TV programming is available on the TV’s throughout. Be prepared to login with your own credentials.Overall, a very nice, clean cabin experience.

Family Fall Adventure

Beautiful cabin and convenient location! Fit us all perfectly and our needs. Only thing was it has a fire place table on the deck and no propane tank, after reaching out learned that fires weren’t allowed due to the HOA. Bummed us out but survived without it thanks to the hot tub!

Gatlinburg Trip

We really enjoyed our vacation. The cabin was absolutely wonderful and we look forward to returning here next year. The check-in process was great. Booking the cabin was even better. I really appreciate Red Door getaway communicating with me via text and even calling to ask if I had any questions. No other cabin rental company does that. The cabin was very clean and spacious. The furniture was comfortable. The beds slept great. The boys enjoyed the game room! We will be back.
