Cabin is beautiful and we had an absolutely wonderful celebration of our birthdays. Last night/evening around 7:45, we were sitting on the porch having a great time and a bear came from either under the deck or around the back side. Walked around our vehicles and proceeded to the neighbors vehicle. They had left their trunk open from bringing in groceries. The bear decided to treat himself to their orange fanta and coca colas in the trunk. When he grabbed them out of the trunk, he bit down and they sprayed him in the face. We have everything on video. This was unbelievable because in the 30 years we've visited, we have never seen anything like that happen. Of course we've seen bears at Cade's Cove and from a distance but never something like this. Made this trip absolutely memorable.

We had an excellent stay at Downtown Bear Cabin! The cabin was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. The location is unbeatable—just minutes from downtown Gatlinburg, making it easy to enjoy shops, restaurants, and attractions without dealing with heavy traffic.The cabin itself was cozy and well-maintained, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. It felt private and peaceful while still being close to everything, which was the best of both worlds. Parking was easy, check-in was smooth, and communication with the host was great.We truly enjoyed our time here and would absolutely stay again. Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a convenient, comfortable place to stay near downtown Gatlinburg!

I can’t say enough about this property!! Very clean! A view of the mountains, big porch with table and chairs for all our card games where we spent most of our time. We wished the hot tub was on the porch instead of the ground. We had bears which was exciting and once we saw them sniffing the hot tub we decided not to use it anymore. Overall we would stay here again!!

This was our second year staying at this cabin and we absolutely love it. We are already booked for next year too! The host is incredibly nice and the cabin is always clean and welcoming. The cabin has a fully stocked kitchen with pots, pans, utensils and dinner ware for preparing meals if you don’t feel like going out. I highly recommend this cabin for your next Gatlinburg adventure!
