Bears do visit from time to the in the beautiful wooded area, be sure to not leave food in vehicles or outdoors. Keep vehicle doors locked and cabin doors closed (bears are very smart). Use the metal trash container located just outside the cabin that is secured.
Small children? Please be sure to keep close watch of your children when outdoors due to the wildlife in the mountains. Also, keep them from hot surfaces in the kitchen, fireplace in the living room and other common things to be cautious with children.

Wonderful cabin

We had a great weekend at this cabin. It had everything we needed. We cooked our dinner on the grill both nights. One of my favorite parts about it was the fact that there wasn't another cabin right next to it. Sometimes you get to these places, and there's another cabin almost on top of it. We'll definitely be back. Thanks for a great place to stay.

Loved our stay!

Everything was exceptional pertaining to our stay. Mr. Roger communicated with us and made everything super easy for us. The cabin is located in a nice area and is super clean. Sometimes it the littlest things that make the biggest difference but the snacks and hot chocolate really made our stay. The Christmas decorations were really nice! It is our favorite holiday and we always go overboard with decorations. They meant so much to us. Than on you for a wonderful holiday trip!

Very nice cabin in the mountains & still close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Much nicer than staying in a hotel. The cabin was very well maintained and stocked with all the necessities. My daughter really enjoyed the air hockey. Would definitely recommend staying in this cabin.

Fall color magic in the Smoky Mountains

This beautiful log cabin is located in the middle of the Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and Sevierville area making it an ideal location to enjoy all that these areas have to offer as well as the beauty of the Smoky Mountain National Park. Well equipped kitchen, beautiful fireplace, comfy beds and a hot tub with fantastic Mountain view. What more could you ask for! I would recommend that your first trip up the mountain to the cabin be done in the daytime as the road signage and navigation systems seem to be at odds with each other sometimes. One trip there and you will be fine.

Perfect Name for this Cabin

This is the perfect name for this cabin. We had a family of black bears who stopped by to eat acorns. It was awesome! The cabin had what we needed for our mountain getaway.

Beautiful Cabin

We cant say enough about this lovely cabin . It was completely stocked with evreything we needed . The cabin was clean and decorated with beautiful fall touches . We saw a mama bear and cubs on one occasion and 2 other sightings at various locations . The outdoor furniture was nice and the inside also . The check in was easy and the owners quick to response . We ate dinner out most of the time but we did grill on one occasion The drive up the mountain was not bad its what you expect if you want a mountain vacation . The only thing was the view it was just a peek a boo view , it would be stellar if a few trees could be trimmed . I would recommend this cabin and would not hesitate to rent again .

Smoky getaway

We really enjoyed our stay at the cabin. The only flaw was the dishes and pots and pans not very clean. Not a big deal, we washed them. Signage to get to cabin could be better but once there it was pretty much exactly as advertised. Saw a couple of bears strolling in our backyard from our deck. I would definitely recommend Bear Hugs cabin.
