This cabin's location is prime. You will be minutes away from the attractions of Gatlinburg:
Explore great Gatlinburg attractions at one of its unique museums, Anakeesta, Ober,craftsmen fair, miniature golf courses, water parks, motion simulators or MTN coasters. Check out one of the nation's best aquariums, Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies. The Gatlinburg Ripley's also features mini golf, haunted adventures, mirror maze, a moving theater, a fun zone and, of course, the famous Ripley's Believe it or Not Museum. Gatlinburg is also known for its Golf, specialty shops, restaurants, Whitewater Rafting, biking, hiking, and Canopy zip lines.

Or adventure out on one of the many amazing hikes in Smokey Mountain National Forest, here you will find true serenity.

Bear's Escape Cabin is also minutes away from Pigeon Forge:
Here you can enjoy a day at Dollywood. Or one of the many other activities found in Pigeon Forge, such as water parks, Titanic Museum, Wonder Works, Magic Quest, miniature golf, go karts, fairs, dinner theater shows, shopping outlets, and pancake houses galore.

Bears Escape Cabin is a great location to try out Dollywood — rides that go 60 mph through four inversions and a zero-gravity roll. Of course, the 200-foot-high coaster’s cars are built to look like the national bird. Wonderful Country shows and music. Great restaurants and shopping.

Some of our favorite hikes are:
Mingo Falls
Mingo Falls is on the Cherokee Indian Reservation (Qualla Boundary), just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No special permits are required for access to the reservation. At 120 feet tall, the waterfall is one of the tallest and most spectacular in the southern Appalachians. The hike to the waterfall is only 0.4 miles in length, but is considered moderate in difficulty. Access Trail: Pigeon Creek Trail Trailhead: From Oconaluftee Visitor Center, drive south (toward Cherokee) on US-441 and take the second left onto Big Cove Road. At the first stop sign turn left and drive 4.5 miles to Mingo Falls Campground, where the trail begins.
Juney Whank Falls
Juney Whank Falls is divided into an upper and lower section. Both can be viewed from the footbridge which crosses Juney Whank Branch at the falls. Together they drop 90 feet from top to bottom. The trail to the waterfall is 0.8 miles roundtrip and is considered moderate in difficulty.
Grotto Falls
Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate Trailhead: From the parkway in Gatlinburg, turn at traffic light #8 and follow Historic Nature Trail into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Take Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to stop #5 where there is a large parking area. This one is close and absolutely beautiful. I last hiked it with my 60 year old mother and 4 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 3-11 years old. We saw 3 bears at a distant, swam in the reflective pool of the falls, and had a fun-filled day without over doing it.

Weekend Getaway

This is the perfect location for a family weekend get away. It feels seccluded in the woods but is a short drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It is cute and clean. We had the two of us and two kids. The games down stairs and hot tub were a hit. Host very helpful with getting our reservation done through the site.

This home was very beautiful and comfortable. The view from the balcony was awesome too. With snow and ice in the forecast, the road was a little intimidating and we were concerned what would happen in the event we were stuck for longer than our booking. Overall very nice stay.

Great location

We had a great stay at this mountain cabin. For us, the location was key. Easy to get to town and not very far up the mountain but still gave a rustic mountain feel. We saw turkeys and we actually had a small bobcat follow us while we walked our dog. We read that was unusual but we saw it 2 different times on our stay. Speaking of walks for dogs, there is not a yard as it is wooded, but you can walk up the road and that worked fine for us. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. There is a nice deck that overlooks trees with jacuzzi. We didnt use it but it looked nice. Overall, we had a great stay here and would recommend to others. nice.

December 2021 Christmas stay

The cabin has plenty of space for two people and decent appliances. Bring your own hangers, none are provided. The bed and living room furniture were uncomfortable for us, may not be the case for others. Windows, light fixtures, area around inside door handles, can use some cleaning. I was disappointed that the cabin wasn't decorated for Christmas.
