Beautiful cabin on top of the mountains
Beautiful little cabin on the top of the mountains. Our kids enjoyed the hot tub which was nice and hot when we arrived. Had everything we needed, pots, pans, blankets, towels, toiletries. Pillows were too high for me and bed too firm. But this is personal, my husband like it. The drive was a little steep, I'm glad wasn't snowing and I wasn't driving. Loved the fireplace! Overall, we recommended. Our family loved the cabin and we would come back!

Thank you so much, Carol! We are so glad to hear that Bear Mountain was such a wonderful fit for your family and that the kids loved the hot tub, the cabin had everything you needed, and that the fireplace added such a cozy touch to your stay -- there is truly nothing better than a crackling fire in a mountain cabin! We appreciate your honest feedback about the pillows and bed firmness as well -- comfort is so personal and we completely understand that what works perfectly for one guest may not be ideal for another. That is always helpful for us to know! You make a great point about the drive and we are so glad the weather cooperated for your visit -- and that your husband was behind the wheel! We always appreciate guests passing that tip along for others who may be planning their arrival! We would love to welcome your whole family back -- whether at Bear Mountain or one of our other cabins -- the next time the Smokies are calling your name. We hope to see you back in Gatlinburg very soon, Carol!

Getaway from the hustle and bustle.
We absolutely loved our stay at this sweet chalet. The mountainous surroundings made us feel like we were able to get away from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg. Everything was cozy and as pictured in the photos. The only disappointments of our stay were: we were told the fireplace was turned off for the season and the light bulbs throughout the entirety of the chalet were very bright fluorescent, which made the atmosphere less cozy. If the lighting was warm and the fireplace had been functioning, we would have given a 5 star rating.

Thank you so much, Sarah! We are so glad to hear that Bear Mountain gave you that perfect escape from the hustle and bustle and that everything felt cozy and just as pictured -- that truly means a lot to us! We completely understand the disappointment about the fireplace and want to take a moment to explain! The Gatlinburg area experienced a devastating wildfire a few years ago that had a profound impact on our community, and out of an abundance of caution and respect for the surrounding forest and neighbors, our fireplaces are only operational during certain cooler months of the year. We hope that context helps and we would love for you to come back during the fall or winter months when the fireplace is up and running -- it truly does add such a magical touch to the mountain experience! You make a wonderful point about the lighting as well -- warm ambiance makes such a difference and that is absolutely something we will look into and address. We truly appreciate you taking the time to share that feedback as it helps us make the experience even better for future guests. We would love the opportunity to earn that fifth star and welcome you back -- whether at Bear Mountain or one of our other cabins -- for a future stay. We hope to see you back in Gatlinburg very soon, Sarah!

Highly recommend
Amazing cabin at the top of the Mountain! Perfect for our family of 4. We encountered Bears, coyote on the road up to the cabin and even had 3 Bear visitors come by the fire pit one night. Lovely cabin, fantastic hosts with great communication. Highly Recommend.
Joseph K - Posted: 11/26/2025
Thank you so much for sharing this fantastic review. It is wonderful to hear that the cabin at the top of the mountain was a perfect fit for your family of four and that you were able to enjoy such memorable wildlife sightings during your stay. Encounters with bears and other local wildlife certainly make for an unforgettable Smoky Mountain experience, and it is great to know you still felt comfortable and at home. The kind words about the cabin itself and the communication from the hosting team are greatly appreciated. Thank you for the high recommendation, and it would be a joy to welcome your family back for another mountain adventure.

Greatest Adventure!
Stayed in Bear Mountain for five nights for my daughter's senior trip. Plenty of room for four of us and had the best time. It was a pretty area around the chalet. The driveway was much easier than i expected. I did miss the last step on the stairs at night and hit the floor but i should have used a flashlight. We booked another trip with Mountain Laurel this December.

Can't say enough good things about it! :)
Beautiful home to stay in for the weekend. It had everything we needed, it was very clean, and very homey feeling. Sitting in the hot tub every night after our action packed days was the perfect relaxation we needed to end our night. I would highly recommend this cabin for people to check out and enjoy a week in the Great Smokey Mountains. The views from the cabin are very nice and peaceful. Can’t say enough good things about it. :)

We- 2 adults and 2 kids- had a great time at Bear Mountain. The cabin was clean, the description and pictures were accurate, and check in and check out were a breeze. We also enjoyed using the clubhouse pools! We had a bear interrupt our dinner on the deck which is something we will remember for a long time! All in all a great vacation!

Not what I expected
Driveway was terrible , the steps to the cabin covered in snow. The hot tub never got hot and the light don’t work. The cabin is older and the pool table wasn’t sturdy, the cabin also is very close to other cabins.

How lucky you were to experience a rare March snow! Spring snows are usually gone in a day or so. Therefore, we do not clear decks or steps after guests have checked in unless asked to do so. It must have been amazing to look out Saturday morning and see 5 inches of newly fallen snow! The driveway is a bit steep at the bottom, but that is disclosed in the listing on-line and not usually a problem unless you have a low riding vehicle. Our maintenance crew stands ready to help with hot tubs or any other issues, but we have to know about them. The hot tub and pool table have both been checked by our staff. Please give us a chance to provide excellent service by contacting the office with any problems. Bear Mountain is a historically styled chalet and does have other cabins around it because the proximity of Ski Mountain to the national park and downtown Gatlinburg makes it a popular destination!

Nice Cabin
Nice but surrounded by other cabins. If you want a view then this is not perfect for you. This would be a perfect one if you just want to chill & relax and enjoy beautiful Gatlinburg town.High chances of bear sighting

You perfectly described what Bear Bottom is for, to relax and enjoy Gatlinburg and the mountains. We are glad that you enjoyed your time at Bear Mountain, and that you got the opportunity to see a bear!
