Cross the charming covered bridge and step into your Smoky Mountain escape at Bear Feet — a beautifully crafted three-level log lodge where rustic elegance meets relaxed mountain living.

Nestled in the heart of the Great Smoky Mountains, Bear Feet offers sweeping views, rich timber interiors, and thoughtfully curated cabin décor that creates an inviting atmosphere. From the moment you walk inside, soaring ceilings and warm wood textures surround you in authentic mountain charm.

Outdoor living is just as exceptional. Enjoy al fresco dining on the main-level deck, soak in your private hot tub on the lower deck, or take in panoramic views from the observation deck. With three levels of balconies, the mountain scenery is always within reach.

Inside, the cabin is designed for both gathering and unwinding. Challenge friends to a game of billiards in the loft, relax in the cozy lower-level living area, or share meals and laughter around the spacious dining table. The fully equipped kitchen makes everything from simple breakfasts to celebratory dinners effortless.

With three beautifully appointed bedrooms, Bear Feet comfortably accommodates up to six adults, plus additional sleeping space for four children on natural log futon easybeds — making it an ideal retreat for families and close friends seeking space, privacy, and a memorable Smoky Mountain experience.

Warm. Spacious. Unforgettable.
