About this cabin rental
Authentic 1800s Heritage Cabin: Secluded Peaks & Island Views
The Story: 19th-Century History Meets 21st-Century Luxury Step into a piece of Smoky Mountain history at Anxybear. This is not a modern "kit" home; this is an authentic 1800s log cabin crafted from massive, hand-hewn timbers nearly two centuries ago. While the craftsmanship is historic, the amenities are purely modern, offering a "hygge" mountain atmosphere that modern construction simply cannot replicate.
The Elevation: A True Mountain-Top Escape Perched high above the valley for total seclusion, our cabin offers a perspective few guests ever experience. From your private deck, enjoy 180-degree panoramas of the Great Smoky Mountains and the glittering lights of the Pigeon Forge Island in the valley below.
The Space: Three Private Bedroom Suites
Designed for groups and families who value privacy, Anxybear features three distinct bedroom suites. Each offers a "cocoon-like" quiet and natural soundproofing thanks to the thick, original log walls.
The Experience
Relax: Melt into the mountain-facing private hot tub. Our high elevation ensures total privacy as you watch the sunset or the stars over the peaks.
Play: Contrast the old-world charm with our modern game room featuring arcade classics—the perfect hangout spot for all ages.
Unwind: Gather in the vaulted living area by the stone fireplace (available Oct–March). With unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi and a fully equipped kitchen, you have everything needed for a stress-free mountain retreat.
Important Note: The Mountain Ascent
To reach the spectacular views at Anxybear, you will experience a true Smoky Mountain drive. We want you to be fully prepared for the journey:
The Route: A brief but steep 1-mile ascent (approx. 7 minutes) from the base of the mountain.
Road Conditions: The roads are paved and maintained. However, like most high-elevation roads in Gatlinburg, there are significant inclines and sharp turns. While safe, they may feel "unsettling" if you are not used to mountain driving.
Winter Requirements: In clear weather, a standard front-wheel-drive vehicle is fine. However, 4-Wheel Drive or Snow Chains are strictly required if snow or ice is present. We highly recommend travel insurance for winter stays.
Five-Star Standards & Guest FAQ
Contactless Check-In: Enjoy total privacy with self-check-in. Our professional maintenance team is on standby should you need in-person assistance.
Elite Cleaning: We partner with a premier local company utilizing hospital-grade protocols.
The Hot Tub: 100% sanitized. We drain, scrub, and refill with fresh water and bromine for every single guest.
The Kitchen: Fully stocked with a blender, slow cooker, wine glasses, and a regular coffee pot.
Linens & Starter Kit: We provide all linens/towels plus a "Starter Kit" of paper products, trash bags, and hotel-size toiletries.
Mountain Neighbors: Our cabin is professionally treated, but you may encounter "beneficial" mountain visitors like Ladybugs or Millipedes. These are harmless parts of the ecosystem!
Quick-Look Amenities
Heritage: Authentic 1800s hand-hewn log construction.
Three Suites: 3 Bedrooms / 3 Full Bathrooms for maximum privacy.
Epic Views: Mountain vistas + bird’s-eye view of Pigeon Forge Island.
Wellness: Freshly sanitized 4-person hot tub on a private deck.
Entertainment: Dedicated game room with Arcade; Smart TVs; High-speed Wi-Fi.

The cabin has breath taking views, and is in a convenient location to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge. The owners were very accommodating, and we really enjoyed our stay!

The location of this property was perfect. Just a quick drive to Gatlinburg. If we had any questions the response was quick. The house was very tastefully decorated. Couldn’t have asked for more.
10 / 10Outstanding·Oct 2024
Pics are 100% accurate .. the property is spotless, perfectly located (10 min to fully stocked grocery, 12 min to Gatlinburg strip, 15 min to PF strip), and these owner aim to please. The kitchen is fully stocked with quality pans, utensils, etc. Blender, toaster, microwave, coffee drip maker, crockpots .. all provided. Plenty of bear sightings. You'll see the trails almost immediately in the draw in front of the cabin. This property is perfect for two adult couples + kids. The main level has a king bed ensuite, and the top level has the same .. so if someone can't use stairs easily, they can stay on main floor and never feel deprived. We'll definitely be back.

The drive up to the cabin can be tricky however even my son who drove a mustang was able to get up without an issue.
The view is nice!
The cabin is nice however needs a good cleaning (cobwebs and dust all around the cabin) and new linens. The pillows that were provided are well used and stained. There was not dish clothes to wipe the counter tops down.
The downstairs. The day beds are on the small side, probably fine for children but my adult son said it wasn't very comfortable. However, the 2 king beds in the other bedrooms were very comfortable!
The last and main issue. We drove up to the cabin on our first night to see construction right behind the cabin. THIS WAS SO DISAPPOINTING!!
I immediately msged the owners. They offered a full refund if we left that night. That wasn't going to happen, not after a long day of traveling. I'm not going to lie, I felt duped. During the week with all the work trucks it made it a bit trickier to get out of the driveway as well.
Sad to say there wasn't coffee on the decks in the morning due to the loud construction.
It's stated to be "secluded" this is not anymore.
