About this property
1BR Log Cabin w/View, Hot Tub, Pool Table, Arcade, in Black Bear Falls Resort!
Seeking a charming cabin with a spectacular view of the Smokies that is actually IN Gatlinburg? You’ve just found it!
Surrounded by forest, looking onto the Great Smoky Mountains, and with delightful amenities such as an outdoor hot tub, an indoor jetted tub, and a stone fireplace, Bear Hugs will have you in the mood for romance—or relaxation.
Yet, while the log cabin feels tucked away from it all, it’s hardly remote. Downtown Gatlinburg, with its entertainment, shopping, and restaurants, is only a five-minute car ride away. The main entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park is also just a short drive away, as are golf courses, Dollywood, Rocky Top Sports World, and so much more. You’ll be delighted by Bear Hugs as soon as you pull up into the drive. A true log cabin with a chalet-style cathedral ceiling, it rises on stilts to offer spectacular views of the Smokies from the deck that spans the width of the house.
The deck has a 4 person spa that overlooks the Smoky Mountains!
The interior of Bear Hugs is just as inviting as the exterior. The wood floor, walls, and ceiling cocoon you with warmth and charm. Guests will enjoy the quality leather furnishings, original art, antique persian rug, 50 inch HDTV with cable, and a cozy fire on those chilly days and evenings! Of course Bear Hugs has internet access! The comfortable leather living room sofa converts into a bed for two with a memory foam mattress, so that the house can sleep up to four people in all.
The hand-crafted dining table seats four people as well. You can look out the large windows to the mountains as you enjoy your meal, so that you’ll almost feel as if you’re dining alfresco.
The kitchen is equipped with all new stainless steel appliances, coffee maker, cookware, and tableware. Should you want to barbecue, there’s a charcoal grill outside as well. Among other conveniences, the cabin has its own washer and dryer, so you can both pack light and return home with a suitcase full of clean clothes (isn’t having to do laundry as soon as you get back the worst?).
The master suite is on the main level along with the living/dining area and the kitchen. Decorated in the same comfortably rustic style as the rest of the home, the suite includes a king-size bed, a TV, and a bathroom complete with jetted tub. When you arrive you’ll find the bed freshly made and laundered towels ready and waiting, so if you want to unwind with a bath or a nap as soon as you arrive, you can.
There’s a half bath upstairs on the loft level, convenient if you have overnight guests. Also upstairs is a pool table and commercial arcade that operates without any quarters! Great for rainy days!
Because Bear Hugs is located in the forty-three acre Black Bear Falls Log Home Community, when you stay you can take advantage of the resort’s two heated swimming pools, one of which is a kiddie pool, from Memorial Day to Labor Day. There’s also a poolside lounge area and a clubhouse with free WiFi.
Beautiful and loaded with modern-day amenities and conveniently located close to so many places to explore and enjoy, Bear Hugs is a wonderful base for a getaway you’ll never forget. So reserve your stay today, and get ready to start making memories!

After much deliberation with my fiancé we settled on this little place and I have to say it was perfect for the two of us. The fireplace kept us warm and comfortable and the hot tub was in great condition. The pool table and arcade machine was also a great addition that stood out to us. It was a quick drive to almost anywhere in gatlinburg so that’s something anyone can appreciate. Overall, we had a great stay here at bear hugs and would definitely recommend for a group of two or three looking for a reasonably priced place to stay.
It was very nice felt very much like home came here cause me and wife just got married and we had an amazing time and the bed was very comfortable all around a beautiful cabin
Beautiful location in the mountains, amazing views. Cabin was well maintained and provided everything we needed to stay the week. Would definitely go back.
Beautiful cabin, far enough removed to enjoy peace and quiet, close enough to Gatlinburg and the national park that travel times were short. Enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table and video games. Beautiful cabin, hope to get back there again some time soon!
Very clean and cozy. Quit and plenty of space for the two of us.

Pros: location, log cabin community, hot tub, pool tableCons: cleanliness, bed comfortOverall good couples getaway. Needs sprayed for bugs, and a good dusting!
We loved our stay at this cabin. It was perfect for the two of us and it was in a great location with downtown and trails very close by. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.
We stayed here for our first family vacation. The cabin was pretty clean, no complaints and the property owners were super quick with responding back to any of my questions.
The property is beautiful. We had fun with the arcade game, enjoyed each night in the hot tub and even got to see some bears. It was such an easy check in. Would definitely stay again.
