“**Bears Britches**” is a spacious, beautifully updated Smoky Mountain retreat tucked into the quiet setting of Hickory Hollow Estate in Wears Valley—where the forest feels close, the air feels still, and every part of your stay is designed for comfort, connection, and ease.
Just minutes from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and a short drive to the attractions of Pigeon Forge, this cabin gives you the rare balance of peaceful seclusion with adventure right nearby. Whether you’re hiking trails, visiting Dollywood, or stopping for a coffee at nearby local spots, you always return to a space that feels like home.
Inside, the main level opens into a warm, light-filled gathering space with soaring ceilings, a stone fireplace, and large windows that bring the Tennessee landscape right into the room. Comfortable seating invites everyone to settle in together—whether it’s movie night, morning coffee, or quiet conversation after a full day in the mountains.
The kitchen is designed for shared meals and easy connection, with stainless steel appliances, generous counter space, and a large granite bar for casual bites and conversation. Two dining tables ensure everyone has a place to gather, making meals feel relaxed and unhurried. This level also includes two King bedrooms with flat-screen TVs and a shared bathroom, offering convenience without sacrificing comfort.
Upstairs, the loft becomes a playful, relaxed hangout space overlooking the main living area. Games like foosball and darts bring a fun, easy energy, while cozy seating gives guests a quiet place to unwind. Two additional King suites on this level offer private bathrooms with jetted tubs—perfect for slowing down and soaking in the moment.
Downstairs, the cabin turns into a full entertainment retreat. A game room features a pool table, arcade machines, shuffleboard, and a large TV—creating a natural gathering spot for laughter and late-night fun. A kitchenette adds extra convenience for snacks and drinks, while a private theater room just off the space makes movie nights feel like an event.
This level also includes additional King bedrooms, offering plenty of space for large groups to spread out comfortably. Step outside to the screened-in porch where a brand-new hot tub waits—warm, quiet, and surrounded by trees.
With room for up to eighteen guests, “**Bears Britches**” blends mountain charm with modern comfort, offering a stay that feels both spacious and intimate. It’s the kind of place where mornings are slow, evenings are full of laughter, and every stay becomes a collection of memories worth holding onto.

Absolutely loved this place!! Perfect for a big family with plenty of space for everyone. Amazing outdoor area and plenty for the kids to do.
BRENDA ROSMAN
Nice big house that is close to Pigeon Forge but not to close. Great wooded area that makes it very private.

Beautiful cabin that perfectly accommodated an extended family vacation! Sadly no bears made an appearance. Maybe next time!

We really enjoyed our stay at Bear's Britches. It was a great cabin to have for a family reunion, as it had plenty of room for our 5 adult children and their families. We enjoyed being able to all stay together. The kitchen and dining tables were spacious and allowed us to dine together. The grand kids had fun in the nearby pool. Bears Britches was in a great location to drive to the attractions in Pigeon Forge. It was peaceful sitting out on the porch in the morning, drinking coffee, listening to the birds.

Fabulous Cabin! Checked all the boxes. Nice and clean. There were 13 of us from 4 years old to 60. We all had king size beds to sleep in, which was such a plus. The game room and movie room were a blast. There was a truly fully loaded kitchen, with a huge island. Plently of seating. If you want to see bears, this is the place! We learned quickly to always be watching. It was so cool to see. We loved how private and somewhat secluded it was. We could take long walks on the cool mornings while others were still sleeping. The huge decks provided nice space for socializing or early morning coffee. The decor was really nice as well. We would highly recommend.

Great cabin with all the amenities you might need.
Neicy WOODLAND
This house is exactly how it is described and we did get a secluded scenery and woods to glance at all around. The cabin was up a long steep hill and able paved parking with a grill and locked garbage disposal cans. The lower level has a hot tub screened in and also deck and patio area. This was a great cabin for our group and very very clean. The jets in the tub were also cleaned marvelously. Floors clean and nicely decorated rooms. Tv all rooms with internet
