On cooler evenings, sip cocoa and chat with your bestie or open a classic novel by the mood-setting fireplace.
Kitchen

Fix hearty family feasts, pop Ole Smoky moonshine in the fridge, brew pots of joe anytime, bake fresh biscuits in the mornings, and reheat restaurant leftovers in the microwave. Best of all, your Pigeon Forge cabin rental has an open concept so conversations can keep going even while the chef in your group whips up a tasty storm!
Dining Area
Just off the kitchen lies the dining area with a round wooden table for 4 at your log cabin rental in the Smokies. Combined with the living area seating, everyone will have a comfortable place to dine at the cabin. And when desserts are done, clear the table for board game night! Versatile to be sure, the dining area is also great for arts and crafts with the kiddos, journaling about your trip, or hopping on your laptop for a browse.
Rec Area
Head up the charming spiral staircase to the rec area in the loft — featuring a pool table for a game room experience. Chill in the recliner and cheer for the players or join in the gaming fun and shoot a few rounds of pool. There’s even access to a balcony with rocking chairs, so you can cool off after playing or take a moment alone or with your spouse.
Bedroom + Loft
After catching rainbow trout in the Little Pigeon River, sipping authentic Appalachian moonshine for the first time, or viewing synchronous fireflies in the Smokies, it’s time to get cozy and comfy at your 1-bedroom cabin with a loft in Pigeon Forge, TN. Relax in the bedroom’s king-size bed, the loft’s queen-size bed or twin-over-full bunk, or the living room’s queen-size sleeper sofa.
Log and metal furnishings add to the Appalachian charm. Plus, the bedroom has a big screen TV and an indoor jetted tub, where you can light a few candles, play tranquil tunes, and soak in the muscle-relaxing water before slipping into the cool king-size sheets. There are also 2 full bathrooms in the vacation home with convenient shower/tub combos.
Outdoor Spaces
Ah, the great outdoors at your Pigeon Forge vacation rental is where you’ll want to be, taking in the peaceful valley and wooded views from the wraparound deck or second-floor balcony. Relax in the steamy hot tub, cook out on the charcoal, picnic-style charcoal grill, and unwind in the rocking chairs.
Ready to paint the town red on your Smoky Mountain vacation? Head only 4 steps down to the flat, paved (motorcycle-friendly) driveway with parking for 4 (room for a trailer/RV) and venture onto flat, paved roads all the way to town — even the drive is easy here!

"My wife and I want to leave an honest review that is helpful to future guests to bear claws cabins.
Staff: Although we never met any of the staff in person the registration process and communication with the staff was quick and easy.
Location: The cabin is off the beaten path, but you do hear road noise, and theres also a chainsaw carving place nearby and occasionally you can hear them at work, so there is a little noise but nothing that would be considered bothersome.
Cabin: it is cute! Remember to bring your own extra blankets and pillows, AND ALUMINUM FOIL! They supply all cookware, but you will need the basics; coffee filters, laundry detergent, etc. They give you a little tote bag with lots of goodies, DONT BE LIKE US, we waited until the last minute to actually go through it! The spiral staircase while beautiful is very narrow and makes climbing with luggage a task, the jacuzzi tub in the master wasnt working upon arrival, but we never planned to use it. Theres also a trick to bathing: one faucet in use at a time, otherwise there is no water pressure, but it is a CABIN, it's exactly what you should expect.
All in all we had a wonderful stay and would readily recommend this to friends and family."
