*Be sure to ask about special discounts for stays during January and February!* Escape to Bear Claw Vista, where beautiful views of the Smoky Mountains stretch out before you. Perfectly perched just 4 miles from Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and the trolley stop—and only 9 miles from downtown Gatlinburg—this mountain retreat offers the best of both worlds: easy access to the fun, with the peace and privacy of your very own mountaintop hideaway. Step out onto the back porch and soak in the sights while you unwind in the bubbling 6-person hot tub, swing lazily on the bench swing, or sip coffee at the bar-height table as morning mist drifts through the valleys. If you listen closely, you might even hear the whistle of the Dollywood train echoing across the mountains. Inside, Bear Claw Vista welcomes you with rustic charm and modern comfort. The main floor features two queen bedrooms, each with Roku TVs, along with a freshly renovated bathroom, fully equipped kitchen, dining table, washer and dryer, and a cozy living room. Gather around the wood-burning fireplace or enjoy movie night on the 55” Roku TV after a day of adventure. Head upstairs to the third bedroom (complete with a king-size bed and TV), another full bath, and a game loft designed for fun. Challenge your family to air hockey, ping pong, or the 255-game arcade, or settle in with a board game or good book. (And yes—all bedrooms have doors for privacy, no loft-style sleeping here!) Outdoors, the cabin is just as inviting. Let the kids run around the yard, roast marshmallows around the fire pit, or gather for a picnic at the outdoor dining table. Keep an eye out—you might spot one of the local black bears wandering by to check the fire pit or stroll through the driveway. (They’re regular visitors once spring arrives!) With its unbeatable views, family-friendly amenities, and the cozy mountain atmosphere, Bear Claw Vista promises an unforgettable Smoky Mountain getaway.
