About this property

Bears Abound-- a Pet-friendly, Log Cabin With Breathtaking Views

Bears truly do abound in this cozy 2+ bedroom, 2 bathroom luxury cabin. Small enough to serve as your dream romantic couple’s getaway, yet big enough to sleep 8-10 for larger family get-togethers, Bears Abound is the best place to enjoy the majestic views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Relax and soak in the breathtaking views from our bubbling hot tub or enjoy the same spectacular view from a relaxing rocking chair on the second floor deck. Bears Abound features two private master suites with King-sized beds and full bathrooms. The second level master suite also has a private, indoor jetted tub. For the kids (or the young at heart), there is a “loft-in-a-loft” with 2 Queen-sized beds and a “crow’s nest” with a full-sized futon. If you like games, Bears Abound will not disappoint! You have your choice of foosball and pool. For those who prefer peace and quiet, imagine curling up with a good book in front of the picture window or snuggle up in front of the cozy fireplace with the Great Smoky Mountains as your backdrop. Guests will receive free high-speed internet/WIFI, access to the resort's pool during the summer and exercise facility/steam room. Bears Abound has it all!

Great Cabin for a Family/Group

Our stay at Bears Abound was excellent! We had a family of five plus an extra adult. There was more than enough room for everyone. The kids (ages 15, 13, and 8) loved sleeping in the loft areas, and the whole group spent the majority of time on the second floor playing pool, air hockey, and foosball. Although we didn’t use them, there were several board games and puzzles available. The cabin was clean and beautiful and had everything we could have needed. Property owner Jeff was very quick to respond to any questions and was super helpful with recommendations for activities since it was our first visit to the area. If we are ever back in the area, we would love to stay at Bears Abound again!

Bears Do Really Do Abound

Enjoyed our short stay! The kitchen was well stocked! Had plenty of room! The only thing to note was that the small loft futon mattress was not a comfortable place to sleep for anyone except maybe a elementary school-age child.

Quick Trip to Smokies

Nice cabin. Description provided is accurate. Closer to neighbors than other cabins we’ve stayed in, but we knew that going in. Perfect for large families (6 of us). We didn’t bring our dogs, but we did originally plan to and it would have worked great. Don’t ignore the bear signs, we saw one cross the road 3 cabins away as we were pulling in one evening. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay here again!

Excellent Cabin

This was an excellent cabin. Plenty of room for our whole family (8) (2 dogs). The cabin had everything we needed for the stay. I would suggest this cabin to friends. I would stay there again for sure. This cabin was close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Literally only about 13 miles to the Kroger and Publix for Groceries. Again, very nice.

Gorgeous views!!

What a fantastic stay! The cabin is so beautiful. Loved sitting in the hot tub watching the sun go down over the mountain. My kids loved the loft area and we used the game room a lot! Plenty of space for a family of 5 and 3 dogs. About a 30-60 minute ride to all the places we wanted to go to. (It is winding roads to the cabin). The side yard was perfect for a quick potty break for the dogs, also the road has lots of people walking their dogs. Would definitely reccomend this cabin.

A Perfect Stay

This cabin is absolutley amazing. Absolutely our favorite and this is one we will definitely book again in the future. The area is beautiful and the views are breathtaking. Jeff is great to work with and was always available to answer any questions. Cabin has everything you need and very clean. We had so much fun playing foosball, airhockey and pool. The view from the pool at the resort is unbelievable. Thanks Jeff for everything!!! Cabin is not far from Pigeon Forge or Gaitlinburg but once at the cabin, you are in your own peaceful place.

Wonderful cabin in a great neighborhood!

I booked this cabin for my family's late May 2025 vacation to the area. The cabin is located in The Preserve Resort, which is a wonderful neighborhood with several cabins, a fitness center, and community pool. We loved the peacefulness of sitting out on the back porch in the evening gazing into the forest. Our teens (ages 18 and 16) loved the air hockey and pool tables upstairs. We were also very happy that both bedrooms had a TV in the them. The loft had two queen beds in it, but the lights didn't work up there on the ceiling. There was a working lamp between the two beds though. The other loft only had a full-size futon mattress on the floor. Our sixteen year old was originally going to sleep up on one of the queen beds, but due to his occasional sleepwalking, he decided instead to sleep on the couch in the living room downstairs. We loved looking at the pics on the wall of all the dogs who had stayed there before. The location was perfect, even with the sometimes step, winding road leading up to the resort. We didn't get to try out the pool because the code wouldn't work, but Mr. Jeff was very understanding and apologetic as he tried to help us. We were later given a backup code, but we had already made other plans by that point. Also, the washing machine in the cabin works good, but the dryer lacks a lot to be desired. Two towels in there for 30 minutes were still soggy wet when removed. All-in-all, we had a wonderful stay and will definitely be back!

Well stocked kitchen with all the pots, pans, casserole dishes, and kitchen utensils you can possible need. Spectacular views both in the front and back of the cabin. The cabin and resort were incredibly CLEAN! Comfortable beds and furniture. There were only 3 of us but if you had a group or kids, the second floor game room would keep the young and old entertained. All this and we could bring our dog! And if you want to see bears? They visited every single morning and evening. We are already planning our next trip back!

Absolutely LOVED our stay here. The views were unmatched, it was like being on top of the world. Jeff was on the ball with communication for anything that we needed. The AC upstairs went out and he made sure to get a guy out next day to fix it and kept me in constant loop of the whole situation. It was by far the best family vacation we’d ever been on. 100% will book again!

We stole away from the Knoxville area for a last-minute trip for the 4th. The cabin was beautiful and very pet-friendly. It's in a little neighborhood with similar cabins, but it was fairly quiet. The views were stunning! And the game room: a hit for sure for all of us!! The pool was a great extra, but it's small for the size of the neighborhood and got crowded quickly (but, it was a holiday weekend ...). Wears Valley and Townsend are fun to check out, and the cabin area is not far from the west entrance to the GSMNP. Beware though, holiday weekends are super crowded in this area!! All in all, a great last-minute getaway!!

About the host

Hosted by Jeff Green

Host profile image
We are a family who loves to travel with our dogs to the Great Smoky Mountains. When our son was 5 years old, he told us he wanted his own cabin and he named it 'Bars Ubound' (Bears Abound). When we decided to purchase a cabin of our own, we already knew what the name would be!

Why they chose this property

We have spent many vacations in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We have been on many frightening drives with tight, bending switchbacks and driveways where we couldn't park on a level surface or safely back out into the street. When we decided to purchase our own cabin, we looked at ton of different cabins in different areas. Our #1 criteria was that the drive to and from the cabin be easily accessible and our #2 criteria was to have a spectacular view. #3 was for it to be big enough for our family, but small enough to be cozy. There were a few properties for sale in The Preserve and as soon as we entered the resort, we knew this was the place we wanted to be. The drive is a little steep in places and we would call it 'medium' in difficulty, but it's definitely not nearly as harrowing as drives to many of the other cabins we've stayed at in the area. The parking is level and easy and the views...... THE VIEWS are absolutely the best we've ever seen! Stay with us and we KNOW you'll love it, too!!

What makes this property unique

Bears Abound has a unique blend of breathtaking views in a premier resort with amenities like swimming pool, 24-hour gym and steam room. And it's also pet-friendly.
