Mama Bear’s Cabin
A Classic Log Cabin with Creek, Hot Tub, Sauna & Fire Pit
A Classic Log Cabin at 3,000 Feet in the Smokies
Tuck yourself away at 3,000 feet in the North Carolina mountains, where a babbling creek sets the soundtrack. Mama Bear’s is a classic log cabin with all the warmth you’d hope for — soaring vaulted ceilings, warm pine floors, and a crackling wood stove — plus the modern comforts that make a stay effortless.
Soak under the stars in the private hot tub. Unwind in the outdoor sauna. Gather around the fire pit as the mountains settle in for the night. Two covered porches frame sweeping westerly mountain views — the perfect spot for morning coffee. All with easy access to everything Bryson City and Great Smoky Mountains National Park have to offer. Sleeps up to 12, and dogs are welcome.
