Enjoy a Rustic Retreat at the Gatlinburg Bearskin Lodge

Bearskin Lodge on the River in Gatlinburg offers convenient access to all the entertainment Gatlinburg has to offer while also indulging guests in a bit of Smoky Mountain relaxation. The rustic retreat style of Bearskin Lodge welcomes guests in the lobby and the style continues throughout the property. The high rise lodge offers double queen units, which I found to be spacious and inviting from the moment I arrived.

My room had a unique mountain charm about it, and the in-room two person Jacuzzi and fireplace added a relaxing element I look for while on vacation. Moreover, the balcony overlooking the trickling creek flowing by was exactly the type of “rustic experience” Bearskin Lodge strives to create for guests, and I must admit, they achieve that goal and then some. The earthy tones my room was decorated in furthered the inviting atmosphere and the new mattress and bedding provided all the comfort one would need away from home. The bathroom featured a curved shower rod and vanity outside of the bath for extra space for guests. A small fridge was also in-room.

Amenities at the Gatlinburg Bearskin Lodge include wireless in the lobby, hi-speed internet in rooms, a large breakfast room, which serves standard continental breakfast items as well as waffles and biscuits and gravy, as well as a medium sized pool area that is currently undergoing renovations. The pool area will soon be completed and will feature a small pool, lazy river, two fire pits and landscaping. Further renovations at the Bearskin Lodge are scheduled for winter ’09.

The Bearskin Lodge is a perfect place to stay for anyone wanting to enjoy the allure of the Smoky Mountains yet still want to be pampered.
