I loved this cabin, it was clean and furnished with everything you need. The view of the mountains was breathtaking and it is definitely one I will keep on my list if I ever decide to come back.
Really enjoyed our time in Tennessee and our stay in this beautiful cabin. Multiple bedrooms with bathrooms gave everyone plenty of space to spread out. Kitchen was better supplied than any other place we’ve ever stayed. The kids really enjoyed the hot tub and games downstairs. Would definitely stay here again!
We had an incredible time at the house. It was perfect! Very clean upon arrival, comfortable beds, and you feel like you are in a true log cabin! The views off the porch are INCREDIBLE! We loved the hot tub, easy access to downtown Gatlinburg and State Park.
It was great to spend our time as a family in this cabin, from outside to the inside all perfect design and decorations we all love the property and enjoy it!!
We have a unique visit during our time here!!
Mom bear with her baby walk by all was perfect
Thank you so much!!!
Amazing!! Can't beat the view!!!!. Kitchen very well stocked. We enjoyed everything from the amazing view, snow, hot tub, pool table and games. Our grandchildren were elated and so were we. Thank you for responding so quickly when I had an issue and handling it so promptly. Thanks for sharing this wonderful spot!!
Breath taking views, comfortable private quiet space! Kitchen stocked full of all of the essentials needed to prepare food. Everything was perfect, we even got an unexpected surprise visitor seeing a black bear up close and personal. Felt like home away from home! Would love to book again. The roads leading up to the cabin are steep be prepared in a well equipped vehicle.
This cabin is everything and more! We celebrated a 50th birthday weekend and this was the perfect cabin. The amount of room/space is incredible and the views? STUNNING!!
We will definitely be coming back! Thanks Bear Paw!!
We enjoyed our stay very much, this is a great property at an amazing location. The views from the balcony are just perfect. Comms with the owners was great, it was a pleasant experience.
The cabin is beautiful & well maintained, great house keeping, and well stocked kitchen. The dining room table only seats 8 comfortably, so it was a bummer that everyone couldn’t sit down to meals together (we had a family group of 11). It is a the top of a mountain, so 4-wheel drive would definitely be necessary in the winter months.
It’s a bit of a drive to the National Park (35 min-an hour to some trails) but the view makes it an easy drive. Lots of places to eat or shop within a 30 min drive.
The hot tub was perfect & well maintained. We didn’t get to see any bears on the property, but one of our cars was broken into by a bear (it literally opened the doors & left muddy paw prints on the doors & interior)! There was plenty of rodent activity, but I guess it’s assumed when you’re living in the woods.
Overall, it was a beautiful place to stay with our family!
Perfect for a Multi family getaway. Plenty of beds and there was always hot water for showers.
The view from the upper deck was amazing. We saw a mama bear and her cubs from a distance out the front door.
There was no cell signal for us, so the wifi was important. Internet was spotty. Definitely pull up directions before you head out.
Our family of 14 had an amazing time at Bear Paw Cabin. The views from the cabin are awesome and seeing 2 momma bears and 5 cubs was great. We didn't spend near enough time here, should have planned at least a week. Would definitely stay here again if we make it back to the Smoky Mountains.
We are a hiking group based out of Atlanta and the cabin worked well for us .
Beautiful sunset on the mountains. Hot water in showers. Timed gas fireplaces. Comfy beds. Would stay again.
Couple of little opportunities for improvement. Pool sticks had no tips. Toaster did not work properly. Hot tub control panel hard to work.
The cabin was a great place to get most of the family together. Views were breathtaking!
The size of the cabin made having four different families able to sleep comfortably and to have room for the children to play together while the adults enjoyed their space.
One of the Best views on the mountain. Get there before sunset.

Why they chose this property
As a kid my family made many trips to our chalet in the mountains. The view at this cabin is similar to the one I enjoyed as a kid. We want it to be part of your memories for years to come. This one like mine as a kid is really close to Gatlinburg.
