About this property

Bearway to Heaven | Stunning Views + Hot Tub & Pool Table!

Who says you can’t have it all? When you stay at Bearway to Heaven, you get the quiet and privacy of a secluded mountain hideaway, but it’s also less than a 15-minute ride to the restaurants, shops and entertainment of downtown Gatlinburg. Charmingly furnished, with such amenities as an outdoor hot tub and an indoor jetted tub, the log cabin is ideal for a romantic getaway, but it also has a loft sleeping area, complete with pool table, that makes it equally well-suited for a family vacation. In short, Bearway to Heaven just may be the perfect vacation rental!

Bearway to Heaven appears delightfully rustic from the outside, perched atop a ridge looking out onto the Smoky Mountains and over treetops. While the interior is decorated in a classic cabin style, it’s also rich with modern conveniences. The living room, for instance, features a large flat-screen TV with Blu-ray player above the gas fireplace. When you ease back into the leather recliner or stretch out on the roomy sofa, you can take advantage of the free Wi-Fi as well as the stunning views outside the numerous windows.

The kitchen has its own share of amenities, from full-size refrigerator to dishwasher and microwave, not to mention all the cookware and tableware you’ll need. There’s also plenty of storage, so you can stock up on groceries at the beginning of your stay and not have to waste precious vacation time running back and forth to the supermarket. Bearway to Heaven also has an outdoor charcoal grill, offering another option should you develop a hankering for barbecue chicken or want to grill the trout you reeled in during the day’s fishing trip.

Speaking of outdoor amenities, wait until you see the hot tub on the back deck. Perfectly positioned to take in views of the mountains and the seemingly endless sky, the tub will have been drained, sanitized and refilled prior to your stay. Relaxation is guaranteed! After your soak, maintain the laidback vibe by sitting back on one of the deck’s rocking chairs or sharing the adjacent glider with that special someone—or with your little ones as you read them a bedtime story.

Back inside on the main level, the bathroom includes a jetted tub, perfect for that quality quiet time first thing in the morning, before bed, or just about any other time! This bathroom also has a washer and a dryer, another added convenience you’re sure to appreciate. Now you can pack light and even return home with a suitcase full of clean clothing; having to run loads of laundry as soon as you get back from vacation is such a buzzkill!

The primary bedroom on the main level includes a king-size bed and a flat-screen TV. The loft level has its own sleeping accommodations, with a queen-size bed, a second full bathroom, and perhaps best of all, a pool table! You may find yourself hoping for a rainy day just so you have an excuse to stay home and shoot some pool. But feel free to chill out at home even if it doesn’t rain—it is your vacation!

Finding things to do is no problem when you stay at Bearway to Heaven. As well as the attractions of downtown Gatlinburg, you’re just a quick ride away from the Greenbrier Park entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, home to waterfalls, hiking trails, historic cabins and some of the highest ridges of the Appalachian range. Also nearby are Dollywood, mini-golf, white-water rafting, golf courses and the list goes on and on!

All of this and the beauty of the Smokies is right outside your door when you stay at Bearway to Heaven. If you’re vacationing with other couples but want separate accommodations, Bearway to Heaven can be packaged with nearby properties, such as Dreamweaver, Majestic View, Naughty by Nature and Seneca, in the same Laurel Highlands community.

So, what are you waiting for? Book your stay and start planning your perfect vacation today!

Older cabin with basic kitchen/bathroom linens/utensils. Only charcoal grill. Definitely needs some love, but clean. Hot tub was nice. Wish it had more seating in living room. TV in master not connected to any outlet for cable/satellite.

Peaceful cabin

Nice little cabin in a peaceful, quiet are. Felt fairly isolated and private. Had everything we needed. Cabin was a bit dated and could use a handyman for a day for some small repairs, but overall, it was a great fit for us

Great Stay!!

We were here 4 nights and the stay was amazing. Breathtaking views and very cozy/homey! Kitchen supplies are a little limited so just keep that in mind if cooking a lot. No complaints though! Would absolutely stay again!

Very nice cabin

We really enjoyed our stay at Bearway to Heaven. The cabin was clean and inviting, and the view was really beautiful. Be sure and get there before dark, because it was a little difficult to find it in the dark. We will definitely be back!

Bearway to Heaven

My wife and I stayed in this cabin for 5 days and 4 nights. It was perfect for the two of us. There was plenty of space to relax, hot tub was good sized, and views were fantastic! We planned our vacation to get away from the hustle and bustle, so we went to the Food City located 15 minutes west towards Gatlinburg, got out supplies, and didn't leave until checkout. The place was that perfect for out getaway!

Nice cabin

Nice cabin but the view is obstructed due to trees all around the cabin. We didnt like the steep and winding road ,especially coming in at night . The cabin could of been better equipped , they only give you 4 forks ,no scissors either. Trash can is a laundry basket that will not hold a regular trash bag . Overall it is a nice cabin but would choose something else in future due to no view ,steep hill and no trailers allowed

Good stay

Was good but did not get the “wonderful view” as in the pictures. The porch is now surrounded by a lot of tall trees. But the cabin was very nice. Other than the view I was expecting wasn’t anything like the pictures

okay place I guess

Nice place, needs upkeep. Dirty windows, dangerously loose railing on stairs leading to upstairs loft, screws ripped out for hottub cover. Could also use another couch inside and more seating on porch. Nothing vacation breaking, but detracted from enjoyment of our stay.

Needs updating

For the price you have to pay for this property it desperately needs an update done to it. Aside from being outdated, the bathroom smelled awful of urine smell. The water pressure is basically trying to take a bath with a garden hose. The hot tub was nice and the bed was okay. I would not stay her again through. Nor will I recommend the property to a friend.

Not Clean

My husband and I took this trip for our anniversary, and we had a decent time, but I would like to note a few things for anyone who might be thinking of saying here. If you stay here bring your own pillows! This cabin is not clean at all. Dust was everywhere, and the toilet paper stand in the first-floor bathroom was completely rusted (not to mention the bathrooms were just very dirty). The listing says the living room has a recliner, but it does not (just a wooden chair). The electronic lock on the door is falling off on the inside. The kitchen has plates and cups, but be sure to wash them because these dishes were not clean for our stay. There is a hot tub, but it is very old, and half of the jets do not work. Overall I wouldn't recommend staying at this cabin, and I personally will never say at a "Jackson Mountain Homes" property again.

We go to Gatlinburg every November and this is by far the best place we've stayed! It's close enough to town but yet far enough out to be peaceful with a great view of the mountains.

Beautiful cabin with awesome view

When I first arrived at the property I was pleased to see that it was well kept. The checkin was very easy with no issues. The cabin was beautiful and cleaner than expected with an equipped kitchen and towels for bathing etc. Also was surprised to see a washer and dryer. The two things that made this property receive less than a five star rating was the loft bed mattress was terribly broken down. Needs to be replaced. The loft shower had a slow drain the shower head in the downstairs bathroom is in dire need of a new shower head. The refrigerator wasn't cooling the first night but somehow it corrected itself and the hot tub leaked a little when we turned on the jets but it didn't refrain us from using it.

Steep terrain. Dusty. Needs updating.

Very steep mountainous terrain. You will drag getting in and out of driveway. GPS no help. We ended up going in backwards, but later found correct one way rd. No road signs. Curtains, ceiling fixtures 1/8" dust coating them. My allergies went crazy. Deck and hottub skirting almost rotten through. Carpet upstairs and on steps needs cleaning at best. Well appointed, but everything worn and in need of repair or replacement. Patio door hard to open and close. Had to put a pole in it for a lock. They mean no check in until 4:00 p.m.! We had to wait in driveway for awhile. I worried I would not have enough cell service to get the code from them to open the door. Stressful. I figured I would have to drive back down off mountain to get cell service just to get the code to open the door. Granddaughter loved the pool table, the hottub, and dancing in living room floor with her Opa to country music on cable. We did see a bear. He came into woods below cabin and climbed a tree like he was spying on us. So cute. Dining room table needs replacing, but at least we had one to use. Need more seating on deck. Hottub definitely needs steps or stool to assist getting in and out. I will not stay at this particular cabin again, but will definitely go back to Gatlinburg area.

Overall it was a nice cabin excellent view, but some of the amenities need some fixing. I hope someone changes the listing to how much a dog can weigh as well, it’s not listed on vrbo but it is with Jackson mountain, some of the dishes that we used we had to re -wash, grill was left dirty, overall we enjoyed our stay
