Description Description
The Wandering Bear Cabin is a cozy two-bedroom, 1.5-bath cabin rental offering easy access to all the shopping, dining, and entertainment options that Gatlinburg has to offer; making it the perfect place to spend your vacation exploring the great outdoors or enjoying all the perks of a fun-filled mountain town.

Living Room

Do you love the idea of a cabin in the woods, but you don’t like the rustic aesthetic of a regular cabin? Then The Wandering Bear is perfect for you! With traditional white walls, it feels more like a snug, cozy home than a cabin. Featuring exposed beam ceilings, a stone fireplace, a large flat-screen TV, and access to the main-level deck, this lovely home will be your vacation oasis. You’re only steps away, at any given spot, to the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains!  

Curl up for a movie marathon on the spacious seating, or play a game of charades with your family. This space is welcoming, warm, and inviting. The opportunities for relaxation are endless here! 

Kitchen

Steps away, you’ll find the adorable fully-stocked kitchen. This cheerful room has everything you need to care for your family while on vacation. Whip up some blueberry muffins for breakfast, and pair them with a sumptuous coffee bar. Everyone will be cheering for mom! (Or dad!) #vacationMVP

All cookery, flatware, and dishes are included for your convenience. 

Dining Room 

The custom wooden farm table can seat four and is a great multi-functional space! Bring a stack of board games and have a family game night! Play Go Fish for hours with the kids. This space is flanked by windows that frame the mountains—what a beautiful spot for breakfast!

Bedrooms

Step inside the master bedroom for a restful experience. This spacious bedroom provides you with a beautiful custom log bed with bear accents, a trey ceiling overhead, and access to the nearby full bath. 

Your kids will love the second bedroom! This bedroom offers a custom-crafted bunk bed set for a whimsical sleeping experience. It’s time for blanket forts!!!

One thing we hear all of the time here in the mountains is “Oh, my gosh, this air smells good!” That’s clean air you’re breathing, and if you open up your bedroom windows, you’ll likely have the best night’s sleep you’ve had in ages. 

Outdoor Spaces

With an extensive wrap-around deck, you’ll have your choice of tranquil spots. 

Outside, you’ll find a bubbling outdoor hot tub overlooking the forest, a BBQ grill, and a patio table that’s perfect for a picnic lunch. 

Hunt for constellations with the kids, or crack open a bottle of wine with your significant other. This cabin is made for relaxing! 

The Great Smoky Mountains are teeming with wildlife! Keep your eyes peeled - you never know what you might see!

Other Amenities

With all the luxury that The Wandering Bear has to offer, you might not ever want to leave the cottage. But if you do, you are within minutes of any convenience that Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg has to offer, from charming local eateries to grocery shopping, to entertainment. 

All linens are provided for your convenience.

The Wandering Bear offers complimentary high-speed Wi-Fi access so you can browse your entertainment options, or check your email.

Local Fun

Spend your next vacation exploring the beautiful town of Gatlinburg, Tennessee at The Wandering Bear. This beautiful cabin rental is bright and cheerful and warmly welcomes you to the Smoky Mountains. When staying here, you'll be close to popular attractions like:

Beautiful cabin for a great vacation
My family and I had a wonderful vacation at the Wandering Bear. Reservations were super easy online and exactly as listed. Colonial properties made our stay better by providing everything we needed! I love the touch of extra toiletries and needed items such as dishwashing detergent to get us through a few days! We decided we wanted to come a day early and they had the availability and it was very easy to add the extra night over the phone. The staff went over and above to make our stay great! The location was perfect, we weren’t far from a grocery store, downtown Gatlinburg, and Ober Gatlinburg. The views were spectacular and we even went on a little hike from our cabin and had beautiful views the whole way. We will definitely be back to stay here again and again!

This was a lovely cabin with beautiful views. Very clean. Close to everything but far enough away to feel like a nice getaway to the mountains.

The communication with the property manager was great. They were readily available but not intrusive. The cabin itself was more than advertised. It was clean, cozy and comfortable with picture perfect mountain views. My wife and I can't wait to our next visit.

Amazing!
I loved the setting and scenery of where the cabin was located! It was very clean and was exactly as pictured. It came equipped with EVERYTHING. We didn’t need to go to the store for anything besides food and drinks. It had lots of room for the 6 of us. I would definitely stay in this cabin again!!!

Wonderful Wandering Bear
We loved our stay here, it was secluded enough to feel you had privacy but also not too far away from others. I enjoyed the cute decor and the closeness to all the fun that Gatlinburg has to offer. Also the view of the mountains was awesome, I’ll never forget it. Highly recommend this lovely cabin.

Spring 2021 vacation
Great property for a small family-parents with 2-3 children as the home only has one shower. Very clean. We didn’t use the kitchen but it had the basics. Hot tub was great! We used it every night!
