We had a wonderful stay at The Curious Bear Cabin! It was clean, cozy, and perfect for relaxing. Our youngest even wanted to skip some activities just to stay in and enjoy the games and hot tub.The cabin was very dog-friendly, and our pup loved it too. The owners were responsive and went above and beyond—especially helping us find a local dog sitter.We made great memories here and would definitely come back!

This was the cleanest, sweetest, most well-appointed cabin for a spring hiking getaway! The fireplace was cozy, the hot tub lovely, and the kitchen well-stocked for cooking. I don’t recommend arriving at night if you’re a cautious driver not used to mountain roads, but aside from that, this place FAR exceeded expectations! The owner was amazing with communication and kindness. Well deserving of the exceptional rating!!

This was another great stay at the Curious Bear Cabin. We just love Christmas time in the Smokies. It falls on our anniversary which makes extra special to us. The cabin is so welcoming as you first enter the door. My little fur baby Lola is always as comfortable here as she is at home. The furniture is comfortable throughout and the place is always clean every single time we visit. The hot tub is a must after a long day of sightseeing and shopping. Love the location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We will absolutely be returning to the Curious Bear on our next trip! Thanks for the special touches and always making us feel welcomed.

About the host

Hosted by Owner/Property Manager

Host profile image
We started coming to the Smokies in 2006 and have come back every year since. We finally decided this is where we want to spend our retirement. But we still have some years until that happens so we decided to buy a cabin ourselves, With the hopes of staying and sharing it with others until we make the big move for good. We love everything about Tennessee & are so happy to share it with you

Why they chose this property

We chose this cabin in Gatlinburg because we love being close to the town and all the festivals and action, yet we are in in a private area secluded and surrounded by nature. You get the best of both worlds. We have been visiting Gatlinburg for 10 years now and there is always new and old things we cant wait to do each time we are here. You will love the area and all the things to do.

What makes this property unique

We fell in love with this home because of how private the location is yet you are 5 minutes to town. The cabin decks are a great place to sit with your morning coffee and breathe the mountain air. Being minutes to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and in the middle of nature its truly a wonderful place to relax and unwind
