Bear Hug a Gatlinburg Cabin Rental

Overview

Bear Hug | Gatlinburg's Ultimate Lodge Experience — Newly Renovated for 2026

Some cabins are just a place to stay. Bear Hug is a destination all its own.

This rare, authentic 4-bedroom, 4-bath log cabin — featured in multiple log home magazines — has just been completely transformed by its new owners with a head-to-toe renovation that has to be seen to be believed. From the moment you walk through the door and look up at the stunning custom wagon wheel chandelier soaring above the two-story living room, you'll know this place is something special. And then you'll meet Bruce — the beloved moose above the fireplace who's been welcoming guests ever since.

The Lodge

Gather in the main living area, where brand new rustic leather furniture sets the tone for the ultimate mountain retreat. Sink into the sofa, fire up the 85-inch Roku Smart TV, challenge someone to a round on the PlayStation 5, and let the gas fireplace do the rest. Every TV in the cabin — all five of them — comes loaded with YouTube TV, Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, Paramount, Peacock, and apps for Netflix, Prime, Apple TV, Spotify, and more. Log into your own accounts and watch whatever you want, wherever you are in the cabin.

Sleep Like Royalty

All four bedrooms feature king-size beds, Smart TVs with premium speakers, and total comfort. The master suite goes the extra mile with a Jacuzzi tub and walk-in shower — because you deserve it. The living room sleeper sofa means the cabin can comfortably sleep up to 10.

The Kitchen

Feeding a crowd has never been easier. The fully equipped kitchen comes stocked with two ovens, two microwaves, two refrigerators, and a Keurig coffee maker — everything you need to cook a feast or fuel up before a day of adventure.

Game On

Head up to the loft and let the good times roll. A digital pinball machine with over 100 classic and modern games, a stand-up arcade, a cocktail arcade loaded with hundreds of titles — Pac-Man, Donkey Kong, Galaga, Street Fighter and more — plus shuffleboard, foosball, karaoke, board games, and cards. There is no such thing as a boring night at Bear Hug.

The Great Outdoors

When you're ready for fresh mountain air, step out to the wrap-around covered porch and settle into the rocking chairs or porch swing. Fire up the brand new premium hot tub with LED lighting and watch your favorite show on the mounted 58-inch TV while the jets work their magic. As the evening winds down, gather around the private fire pit with six Adirondack chairs for s'mores, stories, and stargazing under the Smoky Mountain sky.

The Location

Tucked just one mile from Great Smoky Mountains National Park, Bear Hug puts you within easy reach of everything the area has to offer. Downtown Gatlinburg and the Aquarium are under 3 miles away. Dollywood is just over 10 miles. Ober Mountain — perfect for skiing, snowboarding, ice skating, and snow tubing in winter — is practically in your backyard. Pigeon Forge, Sevierville, and all the shopping, dining, and attractions in between are just a short drive away.

Whether you're planning a family reunion, a milestone celebration, a friends' getaway, or simply the vacation your crew has been talking about for years — Bear Hug delivers the memories to match.
