BEAR-A-BOUT Cabin - 3 bedrooms, 3 baths with Hot Tub!

Perfect cabin for the whole family. Close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Clean, quiet, and good customer service.

Very nice and clean cabin. Everything that we would need was provided. Decor was lovely keeping with the bear theme. Hot tub was relaxing after a long day.Going up the mountain was a little scary the first time, I'm glad we arrived before dark. After the first few times we were pretty comfortable driving up there. My daughter had the Waze app on her phone and put in the address provided and it took us turn for turn exactly to the cabin.I would recommend staying in this cabin.

Everything was great.

Cabin was in a great location. Short and easy drive to attractions. Even though it’s a 3 bedroom and 3 bathroom there is not alot of common space.

We loved the cabin, everything matched the description, was a nice quiet place. Downfall is the cleaning that was done prior to arrival wasnt the greatest, food,sunglasses,and plastic utensils were shoved under the bed.

Bear about cabin was perfect for our party of four. The cabin was beautiful. We were very close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but far enough away to be in the quiet. The hot tub was a big hit for my daughter and her friend. There was a issue with the well pump, but was quickly resolved in a few steps as instructed by the host. She answered in a timely manner and had the plumber at the cabin within hours to check the equipment. Would definitely stay again!!

Great cabin. We enjoyed it.

The property was very nice, scenic all around and is on the Smoky Mountains and very nice 3 Room 3 baths, the host answered all my questions within hours after asking before we stayed. the hot tub was very clean and water was a very nice and not too hot to get in

We arrived early messaged property owner and she let us in early , She is a very nice and professional Owner gave info on bear activity in the area and the cabin was clean as well as outside the drive up to the cabin was a lil steep but that is country living hot tub 100 degree felt great after a day of walking in Gatlinburg thank alot Karen for providing a great place to stay half way in between Pigeon forge and Gatlinburg thanks again.

The Bear-a-Bout was a great property with good location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Lived up to its name because we saw a mama bear and 3 cubs on our initial drive to the cabin, and saw them again the next morning. Two of the three bedrooms were very nice, and the third was okay but was in “basement” and my 6’2” height was very close to be a challenge. Otherwise, we had a great stay!

Third year staying at this cabin and We love it. This is the first year we saw a momma bear and her three cubs. Remember to Lock Your Car because she opened mine and got in.

3 bedrooms with out baths is a big plus. We absolutely loved this location and cabin. Host was amazing. We looked for a mountain spot, small as we are there to sleep and eat and relax don’t need nothing massive. Great pricing we even check once there on the websites for the properties that at signup and this cabin was cheaper than the others and had more space beds and other stuff. Well worth it. Host was amazing. We definitely be back to stay here if available when we’re planning. Thanks again Host Karen!!

The outside of the cabin was covered in cob webs. The shower in the first bedroom had bad water pressure and a bad shower head. We also found a few dirty utensils in the drawer. Overall it was a nice stay but a bit of a difficult drive to get there. Quiet and peaceful

Very nice cabin, great host ! We very much enjoyed staying here

Our stay was great. The Hot tub was a nice way to end the day. Plenty of dishes, and kitchen appliances.

I spent spring break with my four kids—two boys (11 and 8) and two girls (13 and 6)—and it was an amazing trip.The cabin was in a perfect location, just minutes from Pigeon Forge, where we enjoyed rides, mini golf, great food, and plenty of fun activities and shopping. Dollywood was only about 20 minutes away and ended up being a great experience for the kids.There were also plenty of opportunities to get outdoors. We took a trip up to an observation deck with several beautiful overlook spots along the way—definitely a highlight.After that, we extended our drive to Cherokee, NC, which turned out to be a really nice town to explore. We browsed local shops and picked up some beautiful locally made art. While we were there, we ate at Pop’s Smokehouse—great food and very affordable.On the drive back to the cabin, we saw about a dozen elk, which was a first for us and really exciting.Back near the cabin, we even had daily sightings of bears—a mom and her cubs—which was incredible to see (from a safe distance). Definitely remember to lock your car, though—a bear actually opened our van door trying to get inside!Overall, it was the perfect location for the cabin and a really well-balanced trip with something for everyone.

The cabin was cozy and the hot tub was nice there were a few jets not working and we loved playing pool but only one pool stick was good the other needed tips on it and the table was un level..The cabin was clean other than some dirt and trash under the sofa..The host was wonderful and easy to work with and prompt responding..I love that it was pet friendly with no additional fees I was disappointed it was right beside of the road and nowhere for my dogs to run and play but we managed and had a great time..

It was super spacious and in a great location. Perfect for 4 of us and we could easily had more fit in the space. We loved spending the evenings on the porch in the hot tub and playing pool (we did have to put one of our brushes under a leg of the pool table because it wasn’t level, but that’s no biggie). The host pictures do not do it justice it is spacious and adorable. I’ll be sure to look at it again for my next trip up here.

Nice cabin in the smokey Mountains. So easy to get into, clean, met all our needs. But I loved all the bear decor.

We stayed a wkd in Feb ‘26 & overall was decent. It was a cute little cabin with plenty of room for us 5. Parking was very tight for 3 cars. Cabin is pet friendly but there’s no grass for them to go potty. So be aware if you bring dogs you may have to walk down the street to find some grass. Had a nice back deck w/ hot tub. The cabin sleeps 6 but the hot tub was for 4 ppl. Would be nice if it were bigger to accommodate all. The bedrooms were spacious although the showers were tiny! Also the kitchen was very small & does not have a dishwasher! It was pretty well stocked for cooking though. Stairs going down to the 3rd bedroom & game room are very steep & the ceilings are very low down there even in the bathroom. If you are tall you might have to duck to shower.

This cabin was perfect for what we needed! The pictures did not do as much justice. This Cabin looked so much better and nicer in person than the pics. It was clean and you can tell very well kept up with. The rooms was spacious enough. Very cozy home! Love it and will be looking to rent again.

Great location. Close to the parkway and Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Clean and spacious place for a great retreat. Would be nice if the TV was a smart TV.

Cabin was cozy and perfect. Beautifully decorated for Christmas. We will definitely book here again for the future.

Cabin was cozy and clean, loved the location it was between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg and not too far up the mountain. Kids enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. The showers are really small but had good pressure and hot water. My only complaint is no smart tv in the living room and a table or vanity should be in the bathroom for storage instead of pedestal sink. I’m glad we didn’t bring our dogs because you’re on a mountain not much of a yard to walk them. It would be ok for a tiny dog. Stairs are very steep going down but we didn’t have any issues with it.

Quiet area. Enjoyed an early Christmas with our kids that live in Wisconsin. The cabin is really cute and plenty of room for the 5 of us. Also basically anything you could need to cook. Plenty of kitchen supplies. You can easily park 3 cars . It was an enjoyable week.

Well described in description. Cozy lil spot on the mountain side.

Loved the Christmas tree and decorations! Great location that was peaceful yet near Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

The host was great, the house was everything we needed. Excellent location. Very charming home. However, im unsure the host knows the cleaning lady isnt very clean. We had to wear shoes inside the home (dirty floors) and the couch was unbearable with dog smell. Towels were left in the washer too long and there were no dish towels. Not one. Leaves consumed all decks, except the front door. So we couldnt enjoy the balcony off the bedroom or hot tub without first removing leaves. My complaints are entirely with whoever is hired to clean and not at all the home

Everything was wonderful we had a great time.. would definitely stay here again

Very cozy. Love the layout. The host was very nice.

Very cozy and clean!! Our family enjoyed our stay!

The rooms were clean, the bedding was fresh. The towels and wash cloths had a terrible odor to them. Almost like animal urine or mildew. The couch had a unpleasant odor of animal urine as well. But as far as the as the rest of the cabin itself, it was clean.

Really liked the place. Wish I could have stayed longer.

Nice cabin in the mountains, off the beaten path. It was an interesting drive up to the cabin but once you’re there it was perfect for us. Love the privacy and the hot tub. Nice getaway for our family!

The cabin was clean and very nice. It's in the mountains close to but away from the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg just minutes away from both. The location of the cabin is very peaceful and quiet. Really enjoyed our stay.

This cabin was close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was ideal for our family with dogs. Would definitely stay again. Only complaint is some of the jets in the hot tub weren’t working and the towels in one of the bathrooms were dusty. I still highly recommend this cabin and we are hoping to return next year.

Great location, just minutes from gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

Very clean cabin

Very pretty cabin. We loved that we had our own rokm and bathroom. Very clean and stocked with plenth of cooking supplies.

Beautiful cabin. Central location

Okay neat location

The cabin was so cute and comfy! I got engaged this week too so it was a memorable trip.

The house was clean and well taken care of. The owner was awesome and responded quickly. The room in the basement is a little short so beware if you plan on having a taller person stay in the basement. I could stand and I am 5ft 10 in but if I was any taller I would not be able to. The cabin is up a mountain and if you are not familiar with that beware. Also make sure to look for Boogie Bear and turn there so you don't have to turn around.This place was great especially for the price. I recommend. Close to Pigeon Forge and Gatliburg. In the middle of both one of my favorite parts.

It was a Great place too stay we saw alot of bears and have a good time !! Place was great !!

Nice place to stay when visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge area….quiet place

Bathroom in basement was not user friendly.

Was super cute and cozy we absolutely loved it and can't wait to go back.

Mold in 1 shower.

The cabin was a great value. Clean, spacious, with pool table/checkers. I was also in a community with 3 small ponds my youngest fished in. In all it worked out great for us

Enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Loved the hot tub , clean cabin , peaceful, perfect for our girls trip

My family and i loved the cabin, it was very clean. 5 stars all the way, would definitely reccomend this cabin. We were visited by 3 bears our first morning.

The cabin is gorgeous, we only had a few minor concerns, we enjoyed our stay! We had lots of rain and it leaked on the basement floor. The beds were very squeaky.

I was honestly surprised to see this place has 4.7 stars. The beds were super uncomfortable; 1 had wheels, another had a squeaky bed frame that amplified all movement noise, and the other was covered in dog hair. I have dogs, I get having hair on sheets, but this made me question if the bed got cleaned. I also doubt those beds were queen sized. The house is not up to code with a light socket next to a shower. The kitchen can only comfortably fit 1 person at a time. The floors felt sticky. If you want hot water though this is your place. In 2 seconds the faucet gets hot enough to steam and the showers have the potential to remove all the layers of your skin. Also don’t try to park more than 2 cars here. In fact 2 cars might be too many. It fits 1 1/2. To be fair, the place did have a great catalogue of 90s and early 2000s DVDs, and the hot tub which was nice. However we were a tad scared to use it. About 15 minutes after we arrived we got to see 7 bears both underneath the deck balcony and in the front yard. They stayed for like 30-45 minutes and didn’t seem scared of us at all. Apparently this place is known for bears (perhaps related to all the peanut shells and food scraps we later found). Over the next 2 days we saw bears on the property 4 more times. They’d just be sashaying down the middle of the road in groups of 3 or 4. If you don’t plan on sleeping (too uncomfortable and noisy) or going outside (the bears are not scared of you) then this is the place for you.

We had a great relaxing stay This is a beautiful cabin Every day of our stay we saw bears and cubs This will be at the top of my list for best vacations Thank you for making our stay the best

I must say we were pleasantly surprised at the ease getting to Bear-A-Bout. What a great location in-between Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg. Everything you needed was in the cabin, which we happened to be in more the planned as the weather did not want to cooperate. We found the beds were comfy, showers had great pressure, kitchen was well equipped. We had one little hiccup that we had to contact Karen about and she responded almost immediately and handled the situation. She was so nice and happy to help.I would definitely recommend it to anyone want a reasonably priced place to stay for vacation. Karen, Thank you, Dave & Family

Very unsatisfactory

We enjoyed our stay. We did feel that the lighting could have been brighter. Otherwise it suited us well.

Great location. Close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Owner very communicative. Clean. We used all 3 rooms and were able to put a twin blow up by the pool table for my teen.

Looks like we will be making this our home away from home when vacationing for the foreseeable future. Grand loved it so much last year that we booked again this year and now she’s talking about booking it for next year Karen is absolutely wonderful and is quick to reply.

Very nice place with all the amenities you will need. Thank you Karen for a Wonderful Vacation.

We couldn’t get the top floor to cool down. It seems the air flow was not sufficient to cool off at the set temp of 68 degrees. This made it uncomfortable during the day and hard to get a restful sleep at night.

Beware! The bedding is not washed between stays!! On my first walk through the place, we fell in love. The pictures really need to be updated because it is a really cute cabin. However, after we settled in, we found disgusting white crusty stains on the pillowcases as well as dripping down the bed frame. I immediately reached out to Karen, and her only reply was, I will talk to my cleaners, thank you. That's it. No apology, no explanation, nothing. Thankfully, there was a washing machine; although I didn't expect to be doing laundry on vacation, we washed all the bedding. The rest of the place seemed clean. The hot tub was clean, and it looked as though the water had just been changed. However, once we began to cook dinner, we discovered that all the dishes in the cabinets were dirty. They had dried, crusted food on them. Needless to say, we won't be back, and I am super unimpressed with Karen and her hospitality.

We enjoyed our stay at Bear-A-About. The room in the lower level was perfect for our girls (11 and 13). They loved having their own space. The cabin was clean and had enough toilet paper and bath towels (we brought our own hot tub towels). The cabin had 3 showers, but no bathtubs. Which was fine for us, as we only take showers. We would definitely stay here again. It was perfectly located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

The property is nice, it needs a few updates/repairs but overall a nice place for our family. The pool table is very wobbly and not level at all. The description says it has a small staircase but the staircase is VERY narrow and Very steep. Also would recommend the owner put curtains in the kitchen window, as you can see directly into the master bedroom from the neighbors and the road at night while sleeping. Overall our stay was very relaxing and enjoyable.

Great cabin everything was clean owner was very accommodating we had a wonderful trip would highly recommend.

Clean, spacious rooms, great location!!

Nice little cabin. A bit dated. Doors have several leaks. Lighting could be improved. Would stay again

Our family enjoyed our stay at Bear-A-Bout Cabin. Host was extremely helpful with all details. We look forward to going back one day.

Very nice and peaceful, away from the hustle and bustle of the tourist industry. Would recommend to anyone wanting to get away after your busy day.

Not as clean as I expected, but comfortable. Easy to get to but no view of much but the neighbors. No way to clean up leaves and dirt carried in on feet. All in all we still enjoyed ourselvesI did speak with the host and she had bought a new broom but it had been inadver removed from the cabin.It really is not somewhere I would rent again, but it served the purpose.

First I must say the pictures do not do justice for this property. The home is beautiful, comfortable, cozy,well located,great hostess to deal with We can not say enought great things. Mama bear and two babys visited in the bottom every night and it was cool to watch mama bear watch her babys climb and have fun. We enjoyed the outside grill with a good suggestion to provide A light to shine over the grill area but we made do with a flashlight. OUR grandaughter loved her 11th birthday weekend gateway with our fur babys. And that is the greatest stay.

The property is just outside of Pigeon Forge, closer to Gatlinburg. The place was well decorated & clean. We enjoyed our stay.

It was a good stay. There were some cleanliness issues but the owner was responsive and easy to work with.

Really enjoyed our stay. Perfect size for what we needed. Very clean. Son in law loved the hot tub!!

All 4 of us, ages above 60 enjoyed the coziness of this cabin. It had everything you needed. Beds were comfy, it was very clean, it had all the amenities listed except shampoo but no biggie on that. I think that was just an oversight by the cleaners. overall though, can't complain! Anyone that stays there will love it!

It was a perfect little 3 bedroom cabin and did not break the bank. Had all the amenities you could need. Not far from Gatlinburg, pigeon fordge, or the national park. And after a long day exploring, the hot tub was the perfect place to relax. We had a great time.

I would encourage the owners to stay a few nights in their rental. 1. The stairs to the lower level bedroom. Steep, small and unsafe. 2. If you’re taller than 5’4, you’re not able to stand up straight. This is in the lower level. 3.Place needs new pillows, soft blankets, towels, towels towel's. Maybe even hot tub towels. 4. Lower level bedroom does not have a door, tv, or fan. 5. Lower level gets damp. 6. Some windows need new screens due to holes. 7. Deep spider cleaning needed, spider webs everywhere. 8. Misleading- one tub- and not a jacuzzi tub, 9. Internet access bare to non in lower level even with WiFi. 10. Tree nuts continuously fell from the tree, hit two people in the head.

Quiet and clean. Bit of a drive to reach the rental. Bear sighting near the rental is a plus.

Vefy nice property. Clean and neat. We stayed two weeks and enjoyed ourselves.

Had a great time, left a day early because of the hurricane

Great!!!
