Three king suites, a twin-over-queen bunk room and a room with two queens — seventeen guests across three floors, one mile from the Parkway. The top floor is the master: king bed with its own fireplace and jacuzzi bath, and the game room with the pool table and air hockey right outside the door. The bottom floor holds the theater, a second family room with a sleeper and a futon, and the hot tub off the deck. Three bathrooms for five bedrooms — the two main-floor kings share the hall bath, and the two bottom-floor bedrooms share theirs. No pets at this one.

After a day exploring the Smokies, retreat to one of five comfortable bedrooms, including a luxurious upper-level king suite with its own fireplace and private Jacuzzi.

Bear Camp’s standard terms are strict — without Deposit Protection there is no refund and no reschedule, for any reason. Deposit Protection is added at booking, and it is what opens the cancellation window.
This cabin has four or more bedrooms, so the 4+ bedroom terms apply: cancel at least 60 days before arrival for a refund, or reschedule once if you ask at least 30 days before arrival. Inside 60 days the deposit is forfeited.
How this compares: the default terms here are stricter than a typical platform cancellation policy, so this is worth understanding before you book rather than after. What Deposit Protection adds that most strict policies elsewhere do not: a free reschedule.
You pay half when you book and the rest thirty days before check-in — the same date the reschedule window closes. Nothing is charged in between.
Deposit Protection has to be added at the time of booking. It cannot be added later, so if there is any chance your dates move, decide at checkout.
Property Protection covers accidental damage during your stay up to the tier you pick — $500, $1,000 or $2,500 of coverage.
It is not insurance for your trip; it covers the cabin. Deposit Protection, above, is the one that covers your dates.
For groups larger than one cabin can hold, we can coordinate multiple cabins in the same resort - same dates, same check-in experience, shared amenities.
Locally managed by Vantage Stays in partnership with Bear Camp Cabin Rentals, a family-owned Smoky Mountain management company. Housekeeping is our own staff, background-checked, and maintenance is an in-house crew rather than a subcontractor.
