My husband and I just stayed at the Bearskin Lodge for the first time. I have to say it was a great experience. The hotel is precious on the outside and equally so on the inside. The hotel staff was super friendly and most helpful. We had a king size suite overlooking the stream. The room was spacious, clean and... More

We just got back from staying here over the weekend for the first time. I thought the hotel was nice. Good things about the hotel are: Parking was very accessible, the rooms were large and had everything we needed, we really enjoyed the cookies made fresh each day from 4-8pm. We enjoyed the heated pool and lazy river and in... More

We really loved the location being almost out of town. It is still walking distance from all good attractions. The trolley stops right out front for those not able to walk far. Great restaurants within a block as well as other shops including the general store. Room is decent size for 4. I am not sure the river view and... More

This hotel was beautiful! The staff are super friendly and the lazy river and pool are as warm as bath water. The beds and pillows were also very comfortable and the kids loved making their own waffles at breakfast.

I had seen Bearskin Lodge from a previous trip to Gatlinburg, and wanted to try it out; I am sure glad we did. My wife and I, along with her parents stayed in May 2013 for my wife's Birthday. We had a very spacious room with a fireplace and a balcony overlooking the stream. We were on the 3rd floor... More

We were looking for a nice place to stay by the river but also close to town within walking distance. This was the place! I’m so glad we found it, we stayed for 4 nights and we were on the second floor. Never had any problems with hearing other rooms or people in the hallway. We were on the left... More
