Welcome to "Bear Mountain II"! Located in Chalet Village just 10 minutes from Gatlinburg. You will love the location, vaulted ceilings, and restful environment.

Our cleaners do a excellent job and during this time additional cleaning procedures are being used. Hand sanitizer is provided. All touch surfaces are wiped with Simple d pro green 3 including door handles, controls and switches (e.g. light switches, cooking controls, television controls, fan pull chains), bathroom taps, toilet flush handles, toilet seats, utensils, cutlery and crockery, furniture such as chairs, tables, and parts of the bed frames, refuse, recycling bins, and any waste disposal containers.

On this level also is another king suite and third bedroom with bunk beds. In February 2022 we added a THIRD bathroom, also tiled. The bunk beds are very nice with comfortable regular size mattress below and above. There is a large deck on this level with a covered area, hot tub and porch swing. All of the bedrooms in the house, the great room and the rec room have walls of windows for a great view of the mountains. The square footage is 2146.

Great Place for a Getaway!
We had a tremendous experience at this place. We saw bears daily in our driveway and on the mountain! The pool table and game room were wonderful for a party atmosphere, the upper deck offered a beautiful view of the Great Smokey Mountains, and the lower deck featured a jacuzzi that was perfect. The appliances were top notch, the beds comfortable, and the Black Bear decorating theme was spot on. We will stay there again!

Loved it!
Cozy and comfy with all the right spaces for our party. The main floor master suite worked great for my 84 year old mother, and the downstairs bedrooms and walk in shower worked well for the other two in our party. Decorated with cute bears throughout and lots of games for the family. The occasional bear sightings in the neighborhood were thrilling! And the owners have a FAC book for visitors that was very informative. Plus, they respond quickly to direct communications. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!

Perfect Family Retreat
The location was perfect. Peaceful and quiet, however, the road to get to the house was definitely a challenge (well worth it though). Our main entertainment was numerous bear sightings, which never grew old. The house was perfect for us and our 3 adult kids. Lots of wonderful family memories were made playing cards, watching movies, shooting pool, cooking and eating meals together. The Owner was always very responsive. I would stay here again.

Quick run to the Burg

Great hosts and cabin!
We really enjoyed our stay and the property and amenities were just as described. Cabin owner was quick to respond any time we had a question. The drive up and down the mountain to reach the cabin was a little disconcerting at first, but we got used to it after a couple times driving it. Yhe neighborhood felt very safe. You can reach downtown Gatlinburg in only 10 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful trip!
We greatly enjoyed our week in this cabin. We had lots of room to spread out with our family of 8. The teens enjoyed the rec room and downstairs deck while the adults hung out on the upper level. We saw beats every day that we were there. When we arrived, there was a baby bear asleep in the tree right in front of our deck! It was so much fun to watch him! He visited the tree 3 times during our stay. My daughter had never seen bears outside the zoo, so she was thrilled! Thank you Tom for an amazing week!

Wonderful Spring Visit
This property was perfect. Exactly as advertised and Tom was great to work with. This home had amble space and provided lots of room to spread out relax and enjoy the views. We even had a few visits from the neighborhood bears in the evenings. The beds were comfortable, plenty of towels and linens, dishes, and my wife even fell in love with the new washer and dryer there. The grandkids enjoyed the hot tub and we played several games of pool and air hockey. We will definitely be back!
