Bears Abound-- a Dog-friendly, Log Cabin With Breathtaking Views

Bears truly do abound in this cozy 2+ bedroom, 2 bathroom luxury cabin. Small enough to serve as your dream romantic couple’s getaway, yet big enough to sleep a maximum of 8 for larger family get-togethers, Bears Abound is the best place to enjoy the majestic views of the Great Smoky Mountains. Relax and soak in the breathtaking views from our bubbling hot tub or enjoy the same spectacular view from a relaxing rocking chair on the second floor deck. Bears Abound features two private master suites with King-sized beds and full bathrooms. The second level master suite also has a private, indoor jetted tub. For the kids (or the young at heart), there is a “loft-in-a-loft” with 2 Queen-sized beds and a “crow’s nest” with a full-sized futon. If you like games, Bears Abound will not disappoint! You have your choice of foosball and pool. For those who prefer peace and quiet, imagine curling up with a good book in front of the picture window or snuggle up in front of the cozy fireplace with the Great Smoky Mountains as your backdrop. Guests will receive free high-speed internet/WIFI, access to the resort's pool during the summer and exercise facility/steam room. Bears Abound has it all!

Our family enjoyed this beautiful cabin! The kids especially loved the fun loft area! Everything was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the mountain views from the floor to ceiling window in the living area were stunning. The owner was superb at communicating and was very accommodating to our special requests. If you’re looking for a cozy, quiet place to relax away from the hustle and bustle, this is a fantastic spot.

Property was fantastic! The couches were a little rough however it is dog friendly so I didn’t expect brand new fancy couches. Make sure you can climb a ladder if you plan on sleeping in the loft. The cabin has a private hot tub however the public one listed in pictures is no longer there. Over all we had a fantastic time and would for sure visit again!

Wonderful property, wonderful stay. Plenty of space for a family and a pup. We had 4 adults, 2 teenagers, a child and a dog on our trip to Dollywood. We hiked, we visited Gatlinsburg and Dollywood. We did it all comfortably from Bears Abound. One thing to note, no closet space though we were there from and Weds - Sun and were just fine. Thankfully we had beautiful weather. Don’t know about deep Winter when we all would need thicker clothes and heavy jackets…

We loved our 6 night stay. Very clean, spacious cabin, with lots of amenities. The pool and hot tub were a wonderful way to end our days. Beautiful views, loved that it is pet friendly, and enjoyed the multiple bear sightings below the deck. Excellent communication with our host. Would definitely stay again!
