This quaint cabin was thoroughly enjoyed by me and my wife. Location was fantastic-secluded yet just minutes away from everything. The host was quick to respond and also communicated in detail. We would have loved to also try out the hot tub but alas… the record breaking high temps over the 4th of July swayed us so. The Bear Den lived up to its name.. decor was so cute. Another great memory was seeing lightning bugs darting around one evening. Highly recommend this rental!!

We've been staying at the Bear's Den for close to fifteen years. it is just off the parkway which gives easy access to everything in Pigeon Forge in minutes. The cabin is clean, comfortable, and has all the necessities in the kitchen. There is no better location or cabin ad far as my wife and I are concerned. We'll be returning again next year.

From online reserving to check-out expectations- the host had everything detailed out easily and professionally. This was our first VRBO experience, and we are elated to say it was EXCELLENT! The cabin was cozy, clean, and completely stocked with every kitchen need, an abundance of towels (to use in hot tub, jacuzzi tub, and showering), board games, and so many other things!Cabin location was minutes to town, yet away enough to feel seclusion. We heard nothing at night (unlike a hotel room!) and in the morning, we enjoyed coffee on the porch and listened to the birds.We will most definitely recommend to our friends and book with y'all again.

This was our first VRBO experience! The location of the property was perfect! Close to everything that we wanted to do. The hot tub was great! We were a little disappointed that the arcade game didn't work correctly...player #1's controls didn't work. Very cute bear motif throughout the cozy cabin, which I know is hard to keep totally dust and cobweb free. We still very much enjoyed our three day stay! So much better than a hotel room!
