Beautiful cabin
Cabin is in like new condition. According to the owner it had burnt and rebuilt in 2017. The amenities were in excess of what other cabins we had rented in the past. Coffee being supplied was a plus. Cabin is exactly as portrayed. We will definitely be back.

Very nice cabin
The cabin was very nice! The hot tub was a nice extra. Laundry on site was great because we did a lot of hiking in the park and needed to wash/dry things. It’s very convenient to the park as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Loved the authentic cabin feel!

Home away from home
The Curious Bear was the perfect cabin for our family of 4! Our boys loved the loft bedroom and hot tub. Jennifer was quick to respond to any questions we had before we booked, checked on us after our first night and wished us a safe trip home! It was clean, decorated with fall decor and better than what we expected. 😊

Perfect location!
We loved it! It is just about ideal location wise, being right between Pidgeon Forge and Gatlinburg. And despite being so close to all the activity, it still felt very remote and removed. The king size bed was so comfy too! The place is clean and well appointed. Instructions were clear for check in/check out. It was a very nice stay. Our only negative is that the kid bedroom area upstairs is an open loft, so that bedroom has no way of shutting out the light/noise from the living room. We had to hang out in the bedroom and give the kids some time to fall asleep before we could 'sneak out' and use the hot tub in the evening. Also if you have very young kids (early walkers), the stair case and bed set up might not be friendly. Our 3 year old did fall out of the twin bed once. She was fine, but it is something to keep in mind. Over all though, we loved it. We'd definitely stay here again if we find ourselves in the area again. :)

A real treat
this cabin gets very good ratings but you just never know. In my opinion, every single one was spot on. We traveled with our dog Tedi and she is 70 lbs. While staying in a cabin called "curious bear", traveling with a dog may seem like a bad idea. It wasn't. There was plenty to do in town with her and even just hanging at the cabin was great. We didn't see a bear all weekend thinking they might have smelled Tedi. But, right before we left, we saw a bear and her cubs. Tedi was not close to the bears and barked like crazy. very exciting and not scary because we were given good information about the area. don't miss this little jewel!

Summer trip
We extended our summer vacation by making a quick little stop in Gatlinburg! This cabin was the best! Besides being clean, comfy beds, the location was great, close to everything but also gives you the quietness of nature. My kids didn’t want to leave!! Hoping next year we can do it again!

Beautiful cabin!
We were very pleased with the cabin. It was clean and very cozy. We liked how close it was to everything but loved that it was secluded and quiet. The views of the smokies were amazing. We even saw a bear on the property and a bobcat. We did use the hot tub on a couple of cooler nights and loved sitting and taking in the views. We would definitely come back and stay here!
