You're looking at a beautiful cabin with an open floor plan. The cathedral ceiling in the great room leads to an airy feeling, with large windows along the back wall so you can enjoy the beautiful mountain view in any weather. There is a wood burning fireplace to enjoy on cool autumn and winter nights, while the central heat and air keeps the cabin at just the right temperature year round. Bear's Nest is a few minutes out of downtown Gatlinburg, convenient to the Ramsay Trailhead in the National Park, letting you enjoy quiet and privacy year round. The cabin is decorated for Christmas through November and December, so you can get maximum enjoyment out of your winter vacation!
If you drive an EV, we have a Level 2 charging outlet - new for 2025! You'll have to bring your cord; please let us know if you'll be using the charger, so we can give you whatever information you need.
You'll have a full kitchen, including a dishwasher, refrigerator, stove and microwave, with dishes and cookware for whatever your dining plans might include. There's also a wine cooler for your enjoyment. The covered back deck includes a dining table and grill, so you can enjoy the Great Smokies to their fullest!
The bedroom on the main floor has a king sized bed, with soft linens, a quilt, and warm blankets seasonally available. The game loft upstairs has a pool table, and the second bedroom is also upstairs; it has a queen sized bed, again with soft linens and quilt. The private bathroom located off this bedroom has a unique, live edge vanity and spacious shower.
Relax in the private hot tub on the back deck, which was installed in March of 2025, or enjoy the community pool. We've also included a washer and dryer for your use should you need it. Hardwood floors throughout for a clean feeling, a nice front porch with rockers and 3 parking spaces round out this nice vacation space. If you're looking for a "work from home" space, we've got you covered. There's a quiet table upstairs which makes a great workspace, and the WiFi is very strong here.
This cabin is located in the upscale Cobbly Nob community, which includes 3 community pools. At the entrance to the community off 321, you'll find the Bent Creek Golf Course. The front 9 holes have tee times available most days, and reservations can be made online one week or less before you'd like to play. The back 9 holes are an adventurous mountain course, if you're up for a challenge. If you are traveling with children, there's a great playground located at the entrance located about a half mile up 321 from our entrance. Horseback riding stables, whitewater rafting, zip lines and the Anakeesta outdoor adventure hub are also nearby. The Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts community has an 8 mile arts and crafts driving loop with plenty of small, local shops specializing in almost everything imaginable; a trolley also runs through it. If you're driving through the Arts and Crafts Loop, be sure to check whether the buffalo are in the pasture near the road!
It's about 10 miles to Gatlinburg down a nice 4 lane road; Ober Gatlinburg is nearby for winter skiing; drive through the Great Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy vast, scenic vistas or take one of their many hiking trails for an enjoyable day in the woods. A book in the cabin has information on some of the great things to do and see in Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park.
From mid-November through January, Gatlinburg, and Pigeon Forge are decorated for the Christmas celebration, and so is Bear's Nest! Come have an early (or late) celebration here, in a place where everyone loves the holidays!
If you're coming for a special occasion, please let us know. We are happy to make suggestions for the celebration. If you have questions before you arrive, we're happy to answer them. We're looking forward to your visit!
