Twin Bear I, a Cozy 1 Bedroom Cabin In the Woods! Enjoy Winter Holidays Here!

Welcome to Twin Bear I, a cozy one bedroom, 1-1/2 bath cabin nestled on the side of Bluff Mountain, about 5 miles, or 12 minutes, from downtown Pigeon Forge, 6 miles (15 minutes) from The Island and 8 miles from Dollywood. It's located away from the high traffic areas, while still convenient to everything you would want to visit in the area. Completely renovated in 2021, this cabin offers all of the comforts of home in a unique setting. From mid-November through mid-January, the towns are decorated for Christmas, and so is Twin Bear I! Celebrate with a cozy fire while you enjoy our lights and decorations.

As soon as you enter Twin Bear I, you'll be amazed at how spacious, beautiful and comfortable this cabin is. This is a true log cabin, with chinking between the logs inside and out, giving it a charm and character not found in every cabin. There is a cathedral ceiling in the living room, with large windows, giving the cabin an open, airy feeling.
The main floor has a living room with a stacked stone, wood burning fireplace, which is seasonally available and comfortable seating. Windows on either side of the fireplace bring lots of natural light into the cabin! Cable TV and WiFi are included. The kitchen was updated in the spring of 2021 and now has new granite countertops. It includes a refrigerator, full sized stove and microwave/stove hood combination, and is full of the dishes and cooking necessities to keep you happy through your stay. We even have a Tennessee cookbook, so if you want to try cooking some local specialties, you have a place to start! There's a dining table for 4, perfect for a quick breakfast or a lingering, romantic dinner. The full bath is on this floor, and includes a tub with integrated shower, along with a new, granite topped vanity. This cabin also has a washer/dryer, so if you want to do a quick load of laundry, it's very convenient. We do provide a couple of laundry pods, but if you're going to do a lot of laundry, you might want to bring more.

Upstairs, you'll find the loft bedroom with a cabin style log king sized bed, made up with luxurious linens and a warm quilt. There is a bright and cheery window, and the bench at the foot of the bed holds your luggage. Off the bedroom is a half bath, completely remodeled in the spring of 2021, with a new granite topped vanity and toilet, and soft towels. The bedroom is carpeted for warmth, and is open to the living room below.

We do have a new, state of the art water filtration system in this cabin, which assures you that you are drinking and bathing in the cleanest possible water, without any of the trace odors sometimes noted in country wells.

On the covered back deck you'll find seating, along with a private hot tub. We have placed a basket of towels near the hot tub for your enjoyment. It's very secluded and quiet, with a nice wooded view. Relax on the deck swing if you're not using the hot tub. In the side yard, you'll find a state park style charcoal grill and picnic area. A fire pit with Adirondack chairs completes your beautiful surroundings. We do try to keep firewood fully stocked. This picnic area is private, intended only for use by Twin Bear I. Whaley's is a small store down on Walden's Creek Road, just past the turn off to get here; they have some groceries, bundles of firewood, and are just a charming store!

If you like to ski, check out Ober Gatlinburg in downtown Gatlinburg! Cades Cove is about 30 miles away, so if you're a nature lover or like old historical places, it's a nice way to spend a day. It is an 11 mile loop through a well preserved old settlement, with log homes, barns, and churches, along with an abundance of wildlife. If you're a fisherman, the Pigeon River is about 20 minutes away, and the National Park is about 30 minutes away. Enjoy mountain air on an easy hike along Boulevard Trail or check out Rainbow Falls Trail and be rewarded with a remarkable view of the highest single-drop waterfall in the Smokies.

Some of the other many attractions include: Dollywood and The Island in Pigeon Forge, Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg, Tanger Outlet Mall, Great Smoky Mountain National Park. Walking the Gatlinburg strip is nice, especially during Tunes and Tales. The Biltmore House in Asheville is a fun day trip, as is Harrah's Casino in Cherokee.

This is a great cabin for a romantic getaway; there's lots to do in the area, and it's a nice spot if you just want a little down time. If you have a friend who would like to visit at the same time, Twin Bear II, VRBO # 2187893, is right next door. The listing is www.vrbo.com/2187893 With an easy walking path between the two, this is a fine place for friends to vacation together, while still retaining privacy.

Very comfortable cabin
Had to drive in an unfamiliar area at night due to a late start, but was able to find the cabin easily using the owners directions vs Google Maps. Cabin was the perfect size for two adults, but could easily accommodate a couple more. Very clean upon arrival, and had everything we needed. Mattress was firm, but very comfortable. Hot tub was not something I cared about, and was leery of due to cleanliness concerns, but after seeing how clean it was, ended up really enjoying it after long days of walking/hiking, etc.The location is up some narrow, winding roads, but that is quite typical for the area. It is worth noting that the location is very close to a gas station, and a dollar store so you can easily attain any needed items. You are a short drive to Wears Valley, which is a well traveled road leading you easily to Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg in one direction, Townsend, Cades Cove, Foothills Parkway, Maryville in another. Would recommend the cabin to anyone looking for one in that area. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay. typical forfor the area.

An Anniversary Getaway
My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Twin Bear I. The host was very responsive right away after booking, provided all the important info we needed and they made sure to reply to any of the questions or concerns I had as an amateur Vrbo user. The cabin was exactly what we needed, and provided us a nice reprieve from the tourism and crowds around Pigeon Forge/Gatlinburg, without all the traffic of a local hotel. The guest book included an entry from two guests who had left the same day we arrived and you’d never have known they were there, so I’m glad to know the cleaning staff was quick and thorough. I appreciated the instructions on how to navigate elements of the various amenities, through I found the instructions on how to turn on/off the hot tub a bit vague. But we got through. There were a ton of pieces of kitchenware that made it easy to prepare a few meals, and we made good use of the entertainment provided as well; watching a couple movies during our stay. Had a little trouble figuring out the tv, but that was short lived and we made it through. The only things I would improve about our stay was the supplied toilet paper, which was some kind of half-ply, and I felt like we were burning through it quickly as a result. But other than that, it was a lovely time and I’m glad to have booked with this host over others in the area. Absolutely would book with this host again.

The person responsible for cleaning should be fired. Bathrooms and kitchen were dirty. Two towels for a week’s stay for 2 people. The cabin was difficult to find even with On-Star.

Great Getaway!
The cabin is nestled in the woods about 10 mins from town which was perfect for us. HOT TUB and BACK PORCH SWING was our favorite. Owner was ever quick to respond and fix a very small issue that we encountered. King size bed was very comfortable. Overall nice getaway for our 26th anniversary! Thank you Dan!!

Great cabin
We saw a bear in the area, so that was a bonus. The cabin was great, it had everything we needed. The slanted ceiling upstairs was a bit tricky to get used to, but added a special nuance to the bedroom loft. The view was great, we were busy hiking and shopping, so we did not get to use the fire pit, but the hot tub was relaxing and the cabin stayed cool. Would definitely stay there again.

Awesome location near everything in the area yet secluded in a very quiet mountain valley. Perfect for a family of 4 with young children. Very clean. Everything works.

Effort on the part of the cawas obvious
Myself, my wife, and our two daughters aged three and 1 stayed in this cabin. It was our first time to rent a cabin and while this cabin is clearly aimed at a couple, it was an awesome experience. Everyone, all four of us, loved the cabin. That effort was made to make the cabin enjoyable and comfortable was clear. It was also successful.

Husband's Birthday Weekend
I booked this VRBO for my Husband's birthday weekend. The cabin had a unique A-Frame structure. The couch and kitchen chairs were not comfortable to sit on (from the perspective of a plus size individual). The King Size Bed and a recliner in the den area were very comfortable to relax and sleep in. The hot tub was my favorite feature of this cabin! One of our neighbors were very loud during evenings as of it was a group of college students celebrating spring break. We had no cell service when we arrived at the cabin to check in. We only drove about 1-2 miles away from the cabin to regain cell service to pull up the instructions to check in (which I can say was a fault of my own because prior VRBOs we have booked usually didnt require us to pull up a code to use for entry, but instead had the door unlocked with a set of keys for us to access in the home). We didn’t require any assistance from the host during our stay. Their was a guest book that was overfilled, but my Husband managed to find a spot to write an entry before we left the cabin to head home. I rated this VRBO 4/5 overall because I didn’t feel comfortable with some of the furniture during the entire stay as well as the lack of cell service and loud neighbors. The cabin did have the password for WIFI network available in the cabin! My Husband enjoyed burning cedar in the firepit outside below the cabin. There was also a fireplace in the cabin which we did not use but the flue was opened upon our arrival.
