About this cabin rental
Anxybear is an authentic 1800s hand-hewn log cabin in Gatlinburg, TN, offering 3 bedrooms, 3 full bathrooms, and space to sleep 6 guests. Perched high above the valley, this secluded mountain cabin delivers 180-degree views of the Great Smoky Mountains and Pigeon Forge below — combining historic log construction with modern luxury amenities.
Hot Tub & Mountain Views
Relax in the private, mountain-facing hot tub, freshly sanitized and refilled with clean water and bromine for every guest. Watch the sunset or stars from total privacy at elevation.
Game Room & Entertainment
The dedicated game room features classic arcade games — a favorite hangout for families and groups of all ages. Smart TVs and unlimited high-speed Wi-Fi throughout.
Three Private Bedroom Suites
Three distinct bedroom suites, each with the natural soundproofing of original thick log walls — ideal for groups or families who want privacy. Gather by the stone fireplace in the vaulted living area (available October–March), and cook in the fully equipped kitchen with blender, slow cooker, wine glasses, and coffee maker.
Location
Minutes from Ripley's Aquarium of the Smokies, Anakeesta, and Wild Bear Falls Indoor Water Park, with easy access to downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.
Guest Standards
Contactless self-check-in. All linens and towels provided, plus a starter kit of paper products, trash bags, and toiletries. Cleaned by a professional local team using hospital-grade protocols.
Getting to the Cabin
The final approach is a 1-mile, ~7-minute paved ascent with some steep grades and sharp turns — typical of Gatlinburg's mountain cabins. A standard vehicle is fine in clear weather; 4-wheel drive or snow chains are required if snow or ice is present. Travel insurance is recommended for winter stays.
Wildlife & Nature
You're in the heart of bear country — sightings are common and part of the experience, not a danger, as long as you follow a few rules: never feed wildlife, keep food and trash in the provided bear-proof bins, and lock your car doors (local bears are known to open handles). You may also see ladybugs or millipedes occasionally; they're harmless, beneficial to the local ecosystem, and part of staying this close to the forest.
