About this cabin rental
Life's a Bear is a 768 sq. ft. two-bedroom log cabin ideal for a short or long vacation away from the bustle of normal life. This cabin delights with its natural pine tongue-and-groove walls, exposed beams, and metal roof. The living area has a gas stone fireplace and large windows for an unsurpassed view of the expansive Smoky Mountains. Here, you can relax and watch the 50 in Samsung smart TV. The living room extends into the dining area and full kitchen. The washer/dryer unit is housed in an adjacent closet. Both bedrooms sleep two with ease and comfort. The master bedroom has a king bed and an open clothes closet. The second bedroom has two single beds elevated for storage space below. For added privacy, each bedroom has its own vanity (with toilet) room. Each has an entrance to the bathing room where the five-foot shower and the jetted tub are located.
The porch extends the width of the cabin and continues along the far side to accommodate the hot tub. Of course, a table is available for dining, and the firepit – adjacent to the outdoor grill – will take your cares away while you gaze at nature's bounty, listening to local wildlife and spotting fireflies.
Enjoy nature and all its beauty here at Life's a Bear. Among the highlights are watching the early morning mist rise, the sunlight move across the mountainside, and the rosy glow of twilight darken into myriad evening shades. The quiet is relaxing as only the sounds of various birds in flight are heard. At night, the glow of lights from nearby Pigeon Forge along with the twinkling of cabin lights along the mountainside are evident. Come see it for yourself at Life's a Bear. If wishing to vacation with others, nearby cabins by the same owner are Always, Ever After, and Journey's End.

10 / 10Outstanding·Jul 2025
The views were awsome. There are only about 3 cabins in that block so it was very quiet and without traffic. Very clean and cozy. My kids loved their twin room. About 8 min from Gatlinburg main street and 10 min from Pigeon Forge. Every ammenity worked well. Ample parking space. All the modern confort and still feel like a cabin should be. We would definetly come back. Well done by the owners.

This cabin was as described and probably better. It is like new, perfectly clean and ready. We will definitely be back. The trek up yhe mountain was fantastic. While on the porch in the early evening, we actually had a bobcat sneak out of the brush by the firepit. Don't comolain about the druve up the hill...it's pretty cool!
