While there are a few cabins in Pigeon Forge near mountain streams, Bear Hugs memorably features its own private footbridge over a babbling brook. Cross over the bridge to enter your fairy-tale castle, pausing to watch the water gush underneath you before admiring the beautiful warm wood cabin with green shutters and door in front of you.

Bear Hugs is no less delightful inside than out, with an open living area that feels airy thanks to its high ceilings, but cozy due to its leather sofa and wide fireplace. Start a fire in the stone-flanked hearth and warm your hands on the flames, before cuddling up on the sofa.

This one-bedroom cabin is a great spot to celebrate a honeymoon or anniversary, or simply to get some much-needed alone time. Take a book onto the porch swing on the covered front patio and enjoy the crisp morning air. Relax with your sweetheart and when you are finished, a queen-sized bed awaits.

Only two-and-a-half miles from the Parkway in Pigeon Forge, Bear Hugs is a lovely space to which to return after a fun day hiking in the Smokies, shopping at the outlet malls in Pigeon Forge, or enjoying the attractions in Gatlinburg.

With your reservation, enjoy one FREE Ticket to each of these attractions: Paula Dean's Lumberjack Dinner Show, Wonderworks, Smoky Mountain Observation Wheel, NASCAR Speedpark, Rocky Top Mountain Coaster and Skyland Ranch, Alcatraz East Crime Museum, Fox Fire Adventure Park, and County Tonight (a $305.00 Value) as well as Exclusive Discounted Tickets to Anakeesta, Hatfield & McCoy, Dolly's Stampede, Comedy Barn and more. *Attractions are subject to change.

Great place to stay!

Cabin was very clean, easy to find, very comfortable and close enough to activity without being right in the middle of the noise and crowd. The bed was comfortable but the shower could use a new shower head and we couldn't use the jets on the tub due to not having enough hot water to fill it up.

Great Couple’s Getaway Cabin

This cabin was perfect for us. Cabin was very clean and neat. We got plenty of swing time on the front porch. Just minutes to the parkway. We definitely will look to this cabin for our next visit.

Weekend trip

Location... But the couch was so bad you couldn't sit on it long very uncomfortable needs to be replaced, the chair also is not good. The bed is a little hard for me so I didn't get much sleep. I don't like to be negative but am being honest, you have to have comfy furniture for your guests. Ac worked great , shower was pretty good. I loved the area but wouldn't stay again with the same furniture 😕

Property was fine it would be nice if there was a closet so we can hang out clothes we had our clothes in the suitcase the whole time. Even though the inside was clean the front porch is very dirty.

The property was lovely. Very clean and easy to access. I really enjoyed the whorl pool tub. Mild complaints would be I wish we would have known there was not a lot of green space surrounding the area. It made it a little hard to take care of the dog. Also whorl pool tub was a little hard to enjoy. The instructions asked for a minimum of 2 inches of water above the jets before cutting it on. At that point the water was cold and the bath was lukewarm at best.

Spontaneous weekend getaway

Perfect location and size for what we wanted/needed. We would stay here again. It was a very last minute booking and it was quick and easy. The only issue we had was the jacuzzi tub needs a cover over the suctioning part. As it is very strong, I barely moved my hand in front of it while relaxing and it pulled my hand towards it causing a loss of some skin on my finger. Ouch! Just be mindful.

The ease of booking with Vacasa was not there, asked about early check in and never got a response either way. Home was older and in need of a reno and located right on a main road with a lot of traffic. No backyard access to walk my service dog. Home was clean and good for if you just want to come back to stay. Bed was not comfortable and the mattress needs to be replaced, toilet paper was like John Wayne paper

Cozy for Two!

My hubby and I went to redeem ourselves from the last vacation back in April during Spring break with the whole family. We had just enough room for the two of us! The bed and jacuzzi tub in the room felt great to our tired bodies!! Most of all, Kenny the maintenance man showed us great hospitality due to unforeseen circumstances!

The cabin has only. 1 door to get in/out. The area is noisily as you’re not in the mountains but you’re in a neighborhood with a lot of traffic. The shower has a hole in the wall, which was really creepy. We figured out that it’s from the original towel bar, but it’s still creepy. Our towels had long black wavy hair on them, and we shave shorter blonde hair. The AC works well and there is WIFI & cable TV.
