About this cabin rental
Bear’s Eye View has so much going for it, you could have a spectacular vacation without ever leaving the 2,540-square-foot lodge. But in addition to boasting a home theater, a pool table, a hot tub, air hockey and a multi-game arcade, the four-bedroom home is also just five minutes from the attractions of downtown Gatlinburg.
In the main floor’s great room, a double-height wall of windows looks out onto the Great Smoky Mountains. Whether you’re on one of the plush sofas watching a game on the 60-inch flat-screen TV, nestled in an armchair by the stacked-stone fireplace reading, or eating at the dining table, you can gaze out at the spectacular scenery.
You can do the same while playing pool or video games in the upstairs game room. Along with a full-size billiard table and a fifty-game arcade, the room has a flat-screen TV and a pub table perfect for playing cards or checkers. Two walls of windows will have you feeling as if you’re in a treehouse—albeit an exceptionally luxurious one!
The downstairs den is another room where you can admire the mountains while snug indoors. You’ll find the air-hockey table here, along with another flat-panel TV and another gas fireplace, which you’ll especially appreciate when you return from a day of skiing or snowshoeing.
To truly immerse yourself in the beauty of the Great Smoky Mountains, however, you want to be outside in the fresh air, listening to the wrens and warblers during the day and the whip-poor-wills and owls at night. Bear’s Eye View has two decks, complete with rockers and Adirondack chairs, that span the width of the lodge. The lower deck offers an even more luxurious way to soak up the surroundings: while soaking in the hot tub, which can accommodate up to seven people at once. Whether you’re watching falcons soaring over the mountains or pointing out constellations in the night sky, doing so among the steamy jets of water makes the moment even more magical.
You can cook and eat outdoors as well. Bear’s Eye View has two charcoal grills and two picnic tables. There’s nothing like a side order of sunshine and a crisp mountain breeze to transform even humble hot dogs and hamburgers into a feast.
Of course, you can channel your inner chef indoors as well, in the open, spacious and fully equipped kitchen. Along with appliances, cookware and tableware galore, you’ll find plenty of counter space and elbow room. You can serve your feast at the great room’s dining table, which seats 10. If you need additional seating, the adjacent breakfast bar seats another four.
After dinner, if you don’t want to shoot pool, play video games or air hockey, play music on Bose System or laze in the hot tub, head downstairs to the home theater and watch a DVD on the high definition projector with a 120-inch screen, surround sound and an extensive movie library. Not only is the screen huge, but the stadium-style seating is so comfortable! You may never want to go to your local movie theater again. There's also a karaoke machine with two microphones and a docking station for all your electronics!
All four bedrooms have their own bathroom and TV. The upstairs bedroom includes a queen-size bed, while the other three feature king-size beds. What’s more, sofas in the game room, the great room and the den open into beds for two, so that Bear’s Eye View can sleep 14 people in all.
If you can tear yourself away from the amenities and amusements of Bear’s Eye View, you’ll appreciate its proximity to the area’s attractions. Downtown Gatlinburg has restaurants, breweries, an aquarium, mini golf and more. Just 10 minutes away is the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Also nearby are Ober Gatlinburg Amusement Park and Ski Area and the Gatlinburg Arts and Crafts Loop.
One thing’s for certain—when you stay at Bear’s Eye View, you’ll never be bored. So book your stay today, and get ready for what might be your most exhilarating vacation yet.

This is our second time in this cabin - what a fabulous view, top notch. The amenities of the house -
Movie room, arcade, pool table and air hockey - are just fantastic. We were all able to have our own room and bathroom which was important. Saw lots of bears!!!! Kitchen fully stocked with utensils, cooking equipment.

The cabin is great. There was plenty of room for everyone in the family. We had a large bear walk by the front porch of the cabin the first day. Exciting... Very clean.

Overall the house was very nice. Our only complaint was that each TV in every room had some kind of issue. We called maintenance and even they commented about the outdated electronics.

Window wall in living room was the winner! End house in a row of homes over looking a valley with awesome view & hot tub on deck with privacy.
4.0
Great property overall with amazing amenities (pool table, air hockey, movie room with karaoke and video games) but just a few maintenance items were bothersome. Hot tub on property was nice. Grill area really needed to be addressed as the view on the property is just amazing and we could not eat out on the tables as the lawn/plants were overgrown.
Overall we loved our time at the house - again, views are just absolutely amazing. I would recommend staying at this house.

5.0
We were very happy with our stay. The house was comfortable, clean and spacious. The kitchen was well equipped. We used the pool table, theater and hot tub, and everything was in good working order. We especially enjoyed sitting on the porch overlooking Gatlinburg though we were high enough that there was no noise and very little light pollution. We were close enough to Gatlinburg that driving in for dinner was convenient. The road to the house could be a little interesting, especially at night. Driving a Jeep was definitely easier than an F-150. If I had to complain about anything it would be that the lampshade in the upstairs bedroom had many unknown stains on it and the toilet in the master bedroom ran the last night we were there. Very minor complaints. We were very happy with our stay.

My family of 9 fit very comfortably in this extra large cabin. All adults had their own bedroom and bathroom, which was fantastic! The kitchen was great for cooking thanksgiving dinner and had an extra long dinner table to fit everyone! The outdoor space was lacking unfortunately and had no place for a bonfire, but that was the only thing missing. Overall it was such a fun cabin and I highly recommend it!

Half the “perks” in the listing were not working. The large tv in the living room was broken and replaced with a tiny kitchen sized tv. The air hockey table had a chunk missing from the top and was unusable. The tv in both upstairs rooms either didn’t work or only sometimes worked. The water was out completely one day and came back brown and disgusting. The smart thermostat would let me change it but the temp never stayed on what I set it at. The front door lock keypad never worked. None of the cabins on the street are easily marked so in the dark it’s very difficult to find and gps takes you to the wrong street. It’s not easy to turn around on the roads either. The fridge never did cool properly and the offer the maintenance made was we can bring a loaner and stick it somewhere… where? We just chipped the ice away from the frozen over motor ourselves everyday. My son got the big tv to work, just needed a new hdmi cable. Apparently maintenance doesn’t know how to do what a 17yr old can do. Windows in the living room have no way to block the light so the room is unusable most of the day. Too hot and too much glare to do anything in there. The kitchen is fully stocked but so stocked that any food you buy to cook there has no cabinets to be stored in. Seriously not one single empty cabinet. We had the countertops basically unusable due to that being the only place to store the food. I spent WAY too much on this cabin and we ended up spending more dealing with the fact that nothing worked

This would be our 4th time back to the Smokies and 4th time renting a cabin. I must say this is by far the best Cabin we've rented so far! We felt right at home and relaxed, was definitely home away from home! We would definitely rent again! It is definitely true to its name saw bears 4 out of the 5 days we were there. Thanks again for hosting our family!

Great house @ location
Overall, this house was great and I would absolutely stay there again. Our kids enjoyed the many amenities including the pool table, hot tub, movie room and arcade. The location is great and was close enough to Gatlinburg to be convenient but far enough away to be immersed in the mountains. While not problematic enough to rate it lower than a 5 to me, be aware that you could easily struggle with the TVs and sound equipment if you don’t understand how the different units connect. The sounds bar in the great room didn’t have a remote and there were at least 4-5 extra remotes that were either duplicates or for units that were no longer in the house. The main remote in the movie room was unplugged and didn’t control the system after charged. The individual component remotes allowed us to enjoy the room though.

Everything was great, but the bedding. Mattresses were old and uncomfortable and bedspreads were dirty and smelled stale. Overall, great place!

Beautiful Christmas experience
Overall we had a wonderful stay! And will definitely consider staying in this home again! It took us several hours to get any of the tvs to work. The main issue was there is literally 4-6 remotes per tv so it was very confusing. Luckily my brother in law is very tech savvy and fixed it as soon as he arrived but it was aggravating. The hot tub was great as well. The layout was perfect for a large family.

Awesome
The cabin was exactly as described. It was a beautiful cabin. Nice and roomy for everyone. We even saw a bear the first morning we were there! Property management was easy to talk to. I will use Jackson Mountain Homes again when booking next year. Thank you for a wonderful time

Great cabin
Beautiful place. Property was great. The view us breathtaking.. The cabin before this one can use better management. The family that was renting it when we got there left bags of trash and threw food across the street and attracted the bears every night and the smell and flies from the trash was horrible

Amazing property. - A must stay
What a great place. Even better than the photos. The property was very clean and very well stocked. Everything you needed in the kitchen and then some. Rooms are spacious and we loved the layout. We had so much fun with all the games, pool table and movie theater. Most of all we loved the view. The photos don’t do it justice. I highly recommend staying here.

Great stay, kids loved the movie theater, pool, and air hockey.
The only issue we had with the house was the wifi. It took several back and forth emails to get a tech to come out and confirm there was a problem. It was never fixed during our stay. Luckily the cell phones get 5g service from the cabin, so we were able to manage. Great cabin and the kids want to go back.

Good family cabin
Convenient local close to town, yet at the top of the mountain and we saw a black bear in the front yard one night. Highlight of our trip was time at the cabin.

Tricky location but beautiful once you get there
The house is gorgeous and large. Right now there’s so much building going on on the road getting to it that it was difficult at times getting to the house, but eventually that will be better. Overall a great place with a fabulous porch that overlooks the Smokies.

Bear’s eye view was an amazing cabin! The view was incredible! The cabin was extremely clean and check in and out was super easy. We give it a 10 out of 10 and will definitely book again!

Would not recommend
After driving 12 hours to Gatlinburg, Our cabin was changed an hour and half before check in due to structural damages from a failed inspection. We were given a choice of 2 other cabins to choose from. One was a completely cramped downgrade and the other, which we chose, was close to the size of our original booking. Our original cabin had an amazing mountain view while this one had a view of the highway. When checking in, floors were dirty with hair every where. Hair on bed pillows. Deck had candy wrappers. Piece of broken cabinet from the sink was propped against fridge. Appeared someone was in a hurry to clean and did a halfway job or just didnt clean at all. Second floor water line leaked through ceiling to bottom floor bedroom. And random smells of sewage occured. Maintenance didnt seem to care and said the water came from us getting the floor wet while showering. Highly doubtful considering none of us got the floors wet and what came through the ceiling equated to a large pitcher of water. Kinda hard to get that amount of water on the floor when stepping out of a shower. We argued this to the maintenance man and he said all log cabins have these leaks. Overall not a good experience and would not recomend this cabin or booking service.

Great getaway
The place was wonderful....very clean with every convenience that we needed. The cabin was very roomy so that we could all be together, but all had their own rooms and bathrooms for privacy. Incredible mountain views too! Perfect choice!!

Everyone had a great time!
We had a family get together, 13 of us that included 7 young people. Everyone thought the cabin was great and we all had a good time. The only reason I didn’t give 5 stars for cleanliness was because one the beds had not been made when we got there, but they would have sent someone to make it.
