The cabin for perfect for our family of four and a great location between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We echo many of the other positive reviews. One star remove for the neighborhood dog that barks like clockwork at 6:30am EVERY morning. We were woken up every morning of vacation due to this annoying dog and disrespectful owner. Sometimes the dog would only bark for around 5 minutes while one morning it barked continuously for around 45 min. This is no fault of the owner of the cabin but definitely impacted our enjoyment of our stay.

Awesome place to stay
Great location to both pigeon forge and Gatlinburg . Easy to find. Property was clean, beds were comfortable. We saw a bear and a baby bobcat while sitting in the hot tub on the back deck . Hosts were extremely easy to get a hold of and so very sweet. Will come back again next year

Perfect family of 4 cabin!
We had a wonderful time at the Curious Bear! Our children, 7 and 4, loved the hot tub, their lofted room and finding bears in all the decor. Great location, comfortable beds, quiet location but quick drive to attractions, 2 full bathrooms ideal and laundry!

Beautiful cabin
Cabin is in like new condition. According to the owner it had burnt and rebuilt in 2017. The amenities were in excess of what other cabins we had rented in the past. Coffee being supplied was a plus. Cabin is exactly as portrayed. We will definitely be back.
