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.

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!
