Bears Escape Cabin is a great location to try out Dollywood — rides that go 60 mph through four inversions and a zero-gravity roll. Of course, the 200-foot-high coaster’s cars are built to look like the national bird. Wonderful Country shows and music. Great restaurants and shopping.

Some of our favorite hikes are:
Mingo Falls
Mingo Falls is on the Cherokee Indian Reservation (Qualla Boundary), just outside Great Smoky Mountains National Park. No special permits are required for access to the reservation. At 120 feet tall, the waterfall is one of the tallest and most spectacular in the southern Appalachians. The hike to the waterfall is only 0.4 miles in length, but is considered moderate in difficulty. Access Trail: Pigeon Creek Trail Trailhead: From Oconaluftee Visitor Center, drive south (toward Cherokee) on US-441 and take the second left onto Big Cove Road. At the first stop sign turn left and drive 4.5 miles to Mingo Falls Campground, where the trail begins.
Juney Whank Falls
Juney Whank Falls is divided into an upper and lower section. Both can be viewed from the footbridge which crosses Juney Whank Branch at the falls. Together they drop 90 feet from top to bottom. The trail to the waterfall is 0.8 miles roundtrip and is considered moderate in difficulty.
Grotto Falls
Trillium Gap Trail meanders through an old-growth hemlock forest and actually runs behind the 25 foot high waterfall. The cool, moist environment near the falls is ideal for salamanders and summer hikers. The hike is 3 miles roundtrip and considered moderate Trailhead: From the parkway in Gatlinburg, turn at traffic light #8 and follow Historic Nature Trail into Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Take Roaring Fork Motor Nature Trail to stop #5 where there is a large parking area. This one is close and absolutely beautiful. I last hiked it with my 60 year old mother and 4 nieces and nephews ranging in age from 3-11 years old. We saw 3 bears at a distant, swam in the reflective pool of the falls, and had a fun-filled day without over doing it.

Adorable cabin in an awesome location
We had a fantastic time at the cabin! The cabin was adorable and so cozy. Perfect for the two of us for a nice weekend in the mountains. It was super easy to get to the National Park, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We slept so well in the comfy bed, and really enjoyed sitting by the fireplace. The checkin process was super easy, we had everything we needed and extras were close by in Pigeon Forge. The host was very responsive and was able to accommodate us when we had a last minute change, which we greatly appreciate. We HIGHLY recommend this cabin for couples. It was PERFECT!

Beautiful Home Beautiful views
This home was very beautiful and comfortable. The view from the balcony was awesome too. With snow and ice in the forecast, the road was a little intimidating and we were concerned what would happen in the event we were stuck for longer than our booking. Overall very nice stay.
