A spectacular and spacious cabin for up to a dozen guests, Honey Bear Lodge features a stunning, sun-drenched living room, separate dining room, game room, and bonus living areas indoors and outdoors, too! This Gatlinburg cabin feels secluded, yet it’s close to downtown attractions and the leafy Arts and Crafts Community. Step inside and be amazed!
Living Room
Love natural light and endless views? This is your dream cabin. The living room soars two stories high with a cathedral ceiling. An entire wall of windows frames blue skies and mountain vistas. Golden wood planking on the ceiling reflects the light. Sink onto the buttery-soft leather sofa or lean back in a recliner, and soak up the views. Smile at the whimsical black bear sculptures around the room! A large flat-screen TV is wall-mounted so you get a great view of shows, movies or sports from anywhere in this open plan space.
Kitchen
This conveniently designed kitchen keeps everything close at hand, so cooking is a breeze! It’s also fully equipped with all the cookware, dishes and utensils you need.
Granite countertops are both beautiful and tough. The stainless steel appliances gleam. A double sink provides ample room for cleaning up, and the warm, honey-toned wood of the cabinets adds luster to the open plan main level. The kitchen’s standout feature is the long bar counter, with seating for five guests on leather stools. Lay out a breakfast buffet or after-dinner dessert bar here, and let everyone create their own delicious dishes!
Dining Room
The separate dining room will take your breath away with its incredible views! Large windows fill the whole wall next to the farmhouse-style table with seating for 10. This dining room is so large, it includes a seating area with a leather sofa and armchair, so you can keep gazing at the views even when it’s not mealtime.
Bedrooms
Five charming bedrooms give everyone a great night’s rest, so you’re ready for days of adventure in the Smokies.
The master bedroom brings the lodge’s sweet name to life, with little bears holding up your bedside tables and lamps, and cavorting across the old-fashioned quilt! This pampering room has a king mattress in a handcrafted log bed. The ensuite bathroom boasts spa-like elegance. The custom, extra-large shower is lined with natural river stones and has a rainfall shower head, plus natural light from a window nearby.
Two more king bedrooms with log beds and ensuite bathrooms add even more luxurious space. The fourth bedroom charms, with a delightful train theme. Enjoy the vintage railway art on the walls and a wrought metal queen bed, beneath a pretty, angled ceiling overhead. Bedroom five holds a second queen bed, this one with a delicate bent-wood frame, in a romantic room with another angled ceiling. Need more sleeping space? A queen sleeper sofa provides additional accommodation.
Honey Bear Lodge’s four and a half baths ensure everyone can get ready for the day without jostling for space at a sink.
Game Room
Two sets of French doors lead onto the wraparound deck outside and let sunlight pour into this bright, inviting room. Gather the gang for a lively foosball tournament, or play table tennis any time of day or night! Spectators can stretch out on the leather sectional sofa and cheer on the players. Light a fire in the game room’s fireplace, then grab some popcorn and binge movies on the flat-screen TV. This combo living area and play space is so much fun, you might never want to leave!
The Loft Landing
Take some “me time” on the spiral staircase’s loft landing. This sunlit perch is just right for reading, checking your email, listening to a podcast, or napping. A sofa with extra cushions makes a great nest. Two adorable child-sized rocking chairs tempt kids to take a break with a book. A unique window, set just over the sofa, gently illuminates this bonus space.
Sauna
Saunas are a rarity in Smokies cabins. Ultimate relaxation is yours, when you have a private sauna to enjoy after a tiring day of hiking. This gorgeous, wood-lined sauna is big enough for several people, too, so you can chat while you relax here.
Outdoor Spaces
The screened porch is like a second living room! Soak your cares away in the hot tub without a single worry about bugs, sun or rain. Play pool on the porch’s pool table. Kick back with a glass of wine or cup of hot chocolate on the plumply cushioned sofas and chairs. Take in the views–they stretch for miles, all the way to the horizon!
The cabin features two roofed patios. On one, you’ll find a picnic table, with two charcoal grills nearby. The lower level has another patio leading to the yard, where you can play games, toss a Frisbee, or just watch the kids run around having a blast. When things quiet down, watch for wildlife in the trees outside. You might spot deer, birds, maybe even coyotes or a real bear!
A fire pit in the yard invites you to sit under the stars, tell tales, and make melty s’mores.
Other Amenities

Honey Bear Lodge provides five parking spaces, so all your vehicles are nearby when you’re ready to ramble.
The washer and dryer make cleanups easy and reduce the amount of clothes you need to bring.

Gorgeous This cabin was exactly as pictured with no surprises! It was very clean and spacious with room for fun and relaxation. The view was absolutely amazing!
This cabin is PERFECT, our family loved staying here. The mountain view was spectacular especially during the morning. The kids loved the pool table, and hot tub we hope to be back soon. The reservation staff made booking a breeze.
Great place to stay with extended family/friends! More than enough room for our group of 12. The kids really enjoyed the game room while the adults enjoyed the hot tub and pool table. Common areas are spacious enough for the whole group to spend time together. We would recommend for any large group.
Absolutely loved our stay here! The cabin is spacious and modern, with plenty of room for our group of 12. The pool table and theater room were a big hit. Being so close to The Rocky Top Sports Center and Gatlinburg Convention Center was incredibly convenient. We'll definitely be back!
We had a wonderful stay over Memorial Day weekend at this cabin. Communication with Colonial Properties was great, the check in process was easy, and the cabin was the cleanest we’ve ever stayed in. We loved the layout of the cabin and all of the amenities. It was a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg and we found it very convenient to the Food City nearby. We also highly recommend the restaurants nearby that are not on the typical beaten path! Would definitely stay again!
Loved everything that the cabin had to offer would love to come back
Nice property. Exactly as advertised, no surprises!!!!
This cabin was perfect for our multi family vacation and great for all ages. Everyone had plenty of space to spread out. The kitchen was well equipped for dining in. We used all the bedrooms and everyone had a comfortable bed and pillows. Wi-Fi was great, water temp and pressure were great as well. The property is conveniently located near downtown and a local grocery. Everyone loved the wide variety of games and were just as happy to “stay in” as they were to go out to the different attractions. We were also able to start every morning with a quick ish hike to a different waterfall every day without having to drive into the park more than 20-30min at the most. Colonial Properties is more than helpful, very responsive and willing to go above and beyond to ensure your stay is wonderful. We will be looking at their properties if/when we return!
We had an amazing time on our vacation to Gatlinburg. I have stayed in numerous cabins around the area, but this is hands down the best cabin I’ve stayed in. Thank you so much to Colonial Properties for checking in on us during our stay, making sure everything was perfect, which it was. We would definitely stay there again!
This property is amazing! The location is great - short drive to downtown Gatlinburg and Smoky Mountain National Park. We were lucky enough to see a bear on a couple occasions. Colonial is very responsive to questions and encourages you to contact them if anything is needed. The cabin is gorgeous. It’s very spacious and provided plenty of room for our party of 8. All of the beds are super comfy. Check in and check out process was a breeze. I would definitely stay here again!
Everything was as described. Plenty to do at cabin if you just want to stay in. Would definitely recommend.
We had a family wedding in Gatlinburg, this house was perfect for my children and I to enjoy time as a family while we attended the wedding. The house was spacious and perfect to accommodate my family. The set up was perfect for us to cook, hang out and enjoy family time together. There is a game room, a sauna and a hot tub. This is a great place to stay when in Gatlinburg. Colonial Properties was wonderful to work with as well.
Everything was beyond excellent including the close proximity to downtown. Would definitely stay there again next year!
The cabin was beautiful and comfortable. We saw a bear the 2nd day we were there. Very close up. Colonial is amazing. They were available anytime we had questions and very personable. Plenty of room for 12 people and something for everyone. I would highly recommend this cabin.
Excellent cabin and location!
This property is a little gem! From the spacious rooms, cleanliness of the property, location, endless things to do in the cabin alone, the view, I cannot say enough! It truly felt like home. Colonial is amazing! From the moment I reserved the cabin up to checkout, they were available by email, phone or text. As a personal note, I am extremely grateful for the kindness they bestowed on my family in our time of need.
We had a very good time. The cabin was absolutely amazing.
The cabin was beautiful and very spacious. Plenty of room for all of our kids and grandkids to spread out, but also plenty of room to all be together. The large kitchen was well equipped to prepare our dinners. Wifi was adequate for the teenager, as required. Hot tub and sauna were nice for relaxing after all the walking both downtown and in the woods. Weather was chilly and a nice break from Florida. Would absolutely book again.
WOW! We had an amazing week celebrating our 50th anniversary at Honey Bear Lodge. While we were expecting a beautiful “rental property”, it far exceeded our needs. From the décor to the layout to the furnishings to the smallest of touches, the cabin was perfect for our family gathering. We are especially appreciative of the addition of the ping pong table where we enjoyed lots of fun family time together. We loved the quiet and peacefulness of the cabin surrounded by the amazing views of the Smoky Mountains. We also appreciated the close proximity of the cabin to Gatlinburg and grocery shopping. So you had the best of both worlds. In summary: It was a wonderful week filled with relaxation, celebration (our wedding anniversary), laughter, fun … The best part was the creation of so many wonderful memories. We even saw a bear one morning making his way through the yard,
The cabin was very clean and maintained. It had everything you needed and more. Very spacious and able to accommodate a large party. The yard and extra chairs were a wonderful inclusion. Also, if you're hoping to see a bear, this is the perfect cabin! Thank you so so much for a wonderful experience. We will definitely stay here again!
Greatly enjoyed our stay. We were close to attractions yet close to nature in a quiet area while at the cabin. Enjoyed the birds, wild turkeys and bear visits! Will likely return!
This was a last minute decision and a last minute find and I can say it was the best that I have ever had. Colonial is amazing and so helpful. Cabin was more than I could have imagines it to be. I can not wait to get the opportunity to stay again and I hope it will be soon.
The cabin was big enough for my self, my three sons and their families. Great property and property manager. The view from the dining area was fantastic, gorgeous. We had a wonderful time and looking forward to doing again. Hopefully during the fall when the leaves change.
Renting this property was a wonderful experience from the time started walking through the process to secure this cabin all the way until we left the unit. Colonial went way beyond to help us get the arrangements that we wanted.. First class service for sure! Cabin was unbelievable beautiful and everything work just like it should. Even had all the supplies we needed. The location of the cabin is very convenient to Gatlinburg but it has the feeling of being remote and have very good views of the Mountains! Cabin very well designed and extremely comfortable, absolutely the best we have ever had in Gatlinburg, and we have been there many times. We will return!
This property was a great find. It was clean and comfy and the owners seemed to have thought of everything to help make our stay enjoyable. The bear decor was so cute. Our grandsons aged 3 and 5 were delighted with all the bear decorations. Kitchen was well equipped with all the necessities and so many extras. Colonial Properties could not have been nicer or more accommodating. Needless to say, we totally enjoyed our stay. Would give this property 2 thumbs up!
This cabin did not disappoint! It fit 11 of us perfectly without being crowded. Colonial Properties is so friendly and easy to get in touch with. Very conveniently located! Super close to downtown Gatlinburg. We would definitely stay here again!
Everything is easy! The booking, the check-in, staying there and checking out. The house has plenty of space for large groups and perfect for families with teens because of the bottom floor game room. The decor is cozy and the bedrooms are spaced out to offer plenty of privacy. This is a great rental and in my opinion you won’t be disappointed!
The property was fantastic! The property was just as pictured on the website...well appointed and nicely decorated! Location was easy to get to. We did see bears...quite closely!! They walked through our yard and practically up on the porch!! The living areas are spacious and comfortable. Kitchen was large and open...dishes, pots/pans, all utensils were great! Beds were very comfy!! Bathrooms were spacious and clean. Hot tub and dry sauna were a huge hit!! We intended on having an outdoor fire, but never got around to it, tho the fire pit was ready for us. Colonial Properties was extremely kind and helpful. They make themselves easily available for any questions you may have. I would recommend this property for sure!!
Wonderful property for our group of 9; could easily hold 3 more. Spacious rooms and comfy beds. We had a "guest" (bear) the night we used the fire ring and had s'mores. Luckily, even though he was less than 10 feet away, we all got in the house!
I cannot say enough about how amazing our time at Bear Necessities was for our annual family trip! The house was perfect for our kids and grandkids with enough space for everyone to enjoy our time together, yet have room to relax and separate from each other on the many outdoor decks. It is so obvious how much thought and effort Colonial Properties put in to assuring each guest will have a great experience in their home. The location is perfect that you can walk down the hill and catch the trolley into town, or grab a great meal, breakfast, dinner, or ice cream - and then 'walk it off' on your way back up! It is also close to the grocery story without having to deal with the traffic in town - a huge plus in my opinion! The house was very clean and had all the extras needed to prepare our meals - and we had many together around the huge dinner table, that came with an awesome view! The mountains, the house, the location , and most importantly the Colonial Properties truly made our annual fall family trip amazing! Even before we arrived I received a phone call (not a text!!) to make sure we had a direct connection in case we needed anything, which put me at ease and made me feel incredibly welcome as a guest. I cannot say enough...
