Bearskin Lodge promises the best that nature has to offer in Gatlinburg with its unique mountain charm located at the entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. At Bearskin Lodge you will find state-of-the-art amenities among its traditional mountain craft decor and massive log beams. Downtown Gatlinburg shops, restaurants, and attractions are just outside your door. Gatlinburg became a lodging destination many years ago and the lodge will take you back to a time when visitors came to enjoy the clean mountain air and cool streams of Gatlinburg. Those days are here again as you can look at the bubbling mountain stream from your balcony or enjoy a hike into the Great Smoky Mountains National Park right from the door step. While at the Gatlinburg lodge, take a float on the meandering lazy river, relax by the firepits, or take a dip in the swimming pool that looks upon Mount LeConte. Adjoining rooms cannot be guaranteed and are by request only. Tucked in the valley of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Gatlinburg, Tennessee is truly a jewel to behold. Hiking, shopping and sightseeing are just a few things to experience when visiting this destination.

Heading back for the second time!
By Nikolaus, 12/28/09
I too had mixed feelings of my first stay at the Bear Skin Lodge. From what you hear in some reviews it sounds horrible. It was great! Clean room, nice fireplace, decent breakfast, and walking distance to the shops and tram if you'll be skiing. I was so tired from skiing with my son I never heard any garbage trucks. The creek was just that, a creek, and the desk employees did nothing to disappoint. Heading back this week and looking forward to it.
 
 
 
 
 
This place is GREAT!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 11/02/09
Planned a last minute trip from OH to Gatlinburg for Halloween. Looking for an affordable place to stay and pulled in to the Bearskin Lodge. The rooms are EXACTLY as the brocure shows. It was comfortable, exceptionally clean, the staff is great and the price was even better. My boyfriend and I had the time of our lives. We were within walking distance of EVERYTHING! I recommend Crawdaddy's for a good time with karaoke and the Pancake Pantry for breakfast...get there early so as not to wait in line down the block! Thanks Bearskin Lodge! We will DEFINATELY be back!
 
 
 
 
 
LOVED the place! Exactly what we were looking for!
By Shelly, 09/21/09
We had planned a last minute trip to Gatlinburg - and were looking for a nice clean place to stay - but not too expansive. When we pulled up, I was shocked - the hotel looked great. After reading the bad reviews, I actually almost canceled the reservations. So glad I didn't! We were traveling with our 2 kids. The room was large, and clean! Loved the fireplace! Gave the room great character! Had a great room overlooking the river. Beds were comfortable. True, it only had 1 elevator, but it wasn't so bad. Didn't have to wait too long (max: 2-3 minutes). The staff was great. Had no problems. Hotel was convenient to everything. We just walked everywhere. Looking forward to our next trip back! Would stay again anytime! Great value for the money.

Not what we expected
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/17/09
The rooms were small and the carpets were dirty. It is conveniently located but not what we expected. Not a place we would recommend.

Needs Work
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/27/09
Hotel lacked upkeep. Had water leank in elevator roon, door open all the time and a regular house fan was used to gool it. Room needs more comfortable chairs, Beds need to be replaced. We stayed only one night out of 3, went to the Clarion .

Would return!
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/11/09
Clean, perfect location, and quaint. Get real people---this side of heaven, nothing is perfect. But this hotel was the right combination of secluded, yet close to everything; luxurious, but affordable; and pristine, but not a five star hotel. Incredible complimentary breakfast and we really loved the in-room jacuzzi. We felt like we stayed at the nicest hotel in Gatlinburg. Be patient, Gatlinburg's tourism industury has employed teenagers for CSRs...have a sense of humor or you'll be frustrated! Come on, don't you remember being 16 : )

Love it!!!
By Kylen, 04/08/09
Bearskin on the lodge is a great hotel!!.. The rooms are extra large, even if you dont get a room with a fireplace jacuzzi, and overlooking the river. The standard 2 queen beds will do you just fine. Yeah they might only have one elevator.. But your on vacation, you couldnt be in that big of a hurry. Its located right in the heart of the town. And walking distances from all the shops, and attractions. I would definetely recommend this hotel. Also the free continental breakfast is a PLUS!.. This hotel was SPOTless!! I will be returning next year.

Just happened by.
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 02/11/09
We loved everything about the Lodge. Great room with jacuzzi, FP and view. The lady that took care of the breakfast was very friendly and helpful. We didn't want to leave after our two night stay. We're planning another trip in May.

romantic get away
By tone_loc, 12/22/08
this place is great just to get away for a while. my girlfriend an i stayed for one night an it was one of the best trips we have had together an we travel alot. the room was very clean and nice. we over looked the river tho it was to cold to enjoy we still sat on in a few times. its in a great location off the main strip but close enough to walk everywhere. the only problem we had is online i reserved a room over lookin the river but when we got there our room was on the front. the guy at the desk said we could switch to the back but only had a room with 2 queens. we were fine with that it gave us a place to lay out our cloths. we will be staying there when we return in the spring an u should too.
