About this cabin rental
Spectacularly renovated in the summer of 2025 with a breathtaking 2-tier, 1,200-square-foot deck and brand new hot tub, "Bears on Skis" is the ideal lodge for those who want the full Smoky Mountain experience in luxury and comfort. Enjoy truly epic views from high above Gatlinburg and also be close to both the National Park and to all the area's fun attractions. Downtown Gatlinburg and the park entrance are both just short drives away; you can hike, play, come home, go for a seasonal swim in one of the nearby Chalet Village pools, and go out again.
In winter, enjoy epic views of the skiers on the slopes of Ober Mountain as well as views of Mount Le Conte and beyond. Acres of trees (especially stunning in the fall), and the Ober tram in the distance. Pools, tennis courts, and clubhouses for summer use are only a five-minute drive away. Wildlife on Ski Mountain is abundant and often seen, making Bears on Skis a fun destination.
Enjoy our new, two-tier deck—perfect for taking in the sweeping mountain views. The deck features all-new furniture, an outdoor bar, gorgeous new deck lighting, a propane grill with fuel provided, and multiple seating areas, including a dining table. You have rarely eaten or spent time with family and friends in such a beautiful setting.
Bears on Skis has ultra-high-speed internet and 7 Roku smart TVs, allowing access to your favorite streaming services. The cabin also provides Spectrum cable with network sports programming available on every TV.
Accommodations include five-bedroom suites, each with its own private bathroom with shower and bathtub (a rare find), a smart TV, and cool, Smoky-style decor.
Four bedrooms feature large king beds, dressers, and stunning views; the fifth has a queen-over-queen bunk and is located next to one of the king rooms, making it ideal for families. All four main rooms are roughly the same size and offer comparable mountain views.
The living room features recliner couches, rustic decor (including custom wooden Bear carvings), & a wood-burning fireplace. A second living room with swivel couches (sleeper sofas) for maximum enjoyment of the view and to ensure your group has enough space for everyone. The well-equipped kitchen includes a large fridge/freezer, stove with smooth cooktop, new microwave, new dishwasher, toaster, slow cooker, waffle iron, and both pod & standard coffee makers with a bean grinder.
The game room features pro-quality air hockey, a multicade arcade set on free play, board games, a brand-new foosball table, and a sound table with a charging station and a high-quality speaker for streaming music.
Brand-new flooring has been installed on the top two floors, giving the home a fresh, polished look, and a new roof provides added comfort and peace of mind.
Outside, you'll find the massive deck overlooking the mountains, complete with rockers, loungers, outdoor dining, & coffee tables. A well-placed hot tub allows you to enjoy the view as you soak amid twinkling lights.
Bears on Skis is located on a well-paved & city-maintained road. There will be curves and steep sections as we are in the mountains. The driveway can accommodate 4–5 cars, and you may need to reverse out when exiting.
This beautiful lodge is ideal for anyone who truly wants to experience the heart of Gatlinburg & the glories of the Great Smoky Mountains!

Everything was great! We had a wonderful time.
10.0 / 10.0Outstanding·Oct 2025
My family of nine had a wonderful time. Views were beautiful. First morning we woke up to a spectacular sunrise. We had a bear visitor our first afternoon and in the middle of the night on our second night. Seeing the bears really made this a memorable vacation.
8.0 / 10.0Excellent·Oct 2025
This place is a very nice place to stay and the location is good. If you do not like winding roads to get where you are staying then this place is not for you. A few complaints I have are that all of the outlets in the kitchen are wore out and things you plug in will just fall out of the plugs. There are a few gang box covers missing one for a tv cable and another in the ceiling from an old hardwired smoke detector. Both of these have wires hanging out. The view from the back porch is blocked by over grown trees that need to be trimmed to get the full view. Once this is corrected the view will be amazing. Overall a nice house the game room is nice and the hot tube worked well and was a great place to relax. We had some furry visitors pictures below. We did not feed them or leave food out, I believe they visit the cabin regularly. They did get into one of the vehicles that the door was left unlocked but did not destroy anything others than some muddy paw prints. A few things to be corrected and this would be an absolute 5 star review. There was very responsive communication with owners.
6.0 / 10.0Average·Nov 2023
The cabin was really nice with a great view of the mountains that we all enjoyed but we had some issues that we tried to communicate with the owner or property manager but did not get any response.
1. We were at the cabin at the check in time at 4pm but could not check in before 4:30pm as the cleaning was not completed, and we could not go inside until the cleaning people finish their cleaning job
2. We brought lots of burger patties and hotdogs when we saw the grill in the pictures and also in the listing details, but could not find the grill anywhere, we were all really upset about it
3. Some of the bedrooms smelled of smoking which was definitely unhealthy for our kids and for all of us, we never expect it to happen in any of our stays in cabins or hotels :(
4. The TV remote in the living room never worked and most of us could not really watch any TV.
5. One of the bedrooms did not have any hvac working so my friend had to really pop open the bedroom door for whole 2 nights of our entire stay hoping some air to come from other rooms.
I texted in the VRBO app multiple times and made phone calls but nobody replied texts and calls during our stay. I only got a call back during our check out from the Bear Tracts customer service and I explained all again. I demanded that they adjust the booking price as we did not get the cabin as it was explained in the listing and there were more issues.
I still hope that they hear me and give me some good discount for the inconveniences
