About this cabin rental
When you arrive at A Bear Above cabin, you will experience amazing, majestic, mountain views of Mt LeConte. This roomy cabin is perched above the Ober Mountain ski lodge and downtown Gatlinburg with the National Park boundary, and an entrance to Cove Mountain trail, just across the road. Private and quiet location for family fun or getaway for couples looking to recharge. Near the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance, Ober Mountain Ski Resort, Downtown Gatlinburg, and Gatlinburg bypass to Pigeon Forge. This mountain retreat is easily in one of the most convenient locations in the Smokies. Being across the road from the National Park, makes this particular cabin great for wildlife encounters (black bears). Please Be Bear Aware. Keep your distance from the bears and do not feed them! Remove all food from your vehicles and lock doors as a deterrent . A great way to see the area is from the nearby Aerial Tram to Gatlinburg. For entertainment, nearby Ober Mountain (formerly known as Ober Gatlinburg) has the Ski Mountain Coaster, Zip line, a wildlife zoo, Mountain bike trail, ice skating, snow skiing, alpine slide, snow tubing, scenic chairlift, rock wall climbing, kiddie umbrella ride, amaze'n'maze, carousel, trails, ice bumper cars, shops, and dining. Gatlinburg provides great fun during all seasons. This is one of the only cabins with great views in all three (3) directions. The view facing the northeast side is towards Pigeon Forge & Sevierville in which direction you can see for miles and miles. You can see the Fireworks in this direction. All the rear windows face Southeast towards the spectacular mountain views of Mt LeConte and Chimney Tops.
This cabin is located on a quiet road and has a paved drive with a 2 car garage. It also has additional parking. This retreat provides a very peaceful setting for your upcoming vacation.

Bedroom number 2 has a queen sized bed, on suite bath, smart TV, and a set of french doors that open onto a private balcony with seating.
A 3rd bedroom has a queen sized bed and smart TV. This bedroom is on the main floor and is level to the driveway and next to a full bath, and would provide great accommodations for guests that might be challenged by stairs.
The living room faces out towards Mt LeConte and has a sleeper sofa, smart TV, and a fireplace.
Upstairs there is a mini library which contains a desk and table with chairs. This area also contains several books, puzzles, and board games for your entertainment. This reading area overlooks the living room and has exquisite mountain views.

The most perfect cabin! Nestled away from it all but only 15 min to downtown. Very spacious and immaculate inside. The views are spectacular. It’s quiet and peaceful and I never wanted to leave. The video game console and game room was so much fun, my 15 year old never wanted to leave. The hot tub was clean and hot upon arrival no need to heat it! The kitchen was stacked with anything you needed the hosts Mark and Cindy have thought of everything! Every time I messaged the hosts I got a response within minutes. And on our last evening there, a family of 4 bears hung out in the backyard it was magical. I’m sure there’s tons of cabin rentals that are amazing but I’ll never see any of them because I’ll be back at “A Bear Above” every time! Thank you! Tom and Michelle and family kids 15,11,10

Pros: Responsive owners; old but very clean, beautifully decorated home; spacious living room with ample seating; gorgeous views; close to the center; well-equipped kitchen.Cons: Only one small roll of thin cheap paper towels was provided for a group of 7 adults plus children; the mattresses were very uncomfortable; no towels were provided for the hot tub, and we had to use bath towels to wipe up bleach-treated water; floors/beds creak through the house

We Loved the cabin! It had everything you could ever need and was so clean. Communication with host was excellent. It is way up the mountain, which we loved. The garage was tight- but we were able to get our Tundra in. The view was pretty and it was decorated for Christmas

Everything was absolutely perfect, besides the weather which obviously can’t be controlled. The host and cabin were great! I would highly recommend this cabin for a wonderful stay in the mountains. Be prepared to drive curvy, narrow roads to get to and from the cabin but once you do, you will be glad you did! We hated to leave!
