We have spared no expense and want your trip to Gatlinburg, TN to be one that will make memories that will last for a lifetime. We offer top of the line mattresses, charging ports and all of the conveniences travelers dream of...all while embracing the rustic mountain ambiance that nature has to offer.

Our close proximity to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park means there is lots of wildlife in our area - black bears, deer, wild turkeys, raccoons, coyotes, fox, and more! Black bears visit the cabin often in Spring, Summer and Fall. You may get lucky and catch a glimpse of one of these residents while enjoying the view from the deck. We also contract regular monthly pest services which treat for all pests from multiple types of bugs, mice, etc. Despite our regular treatments, given the proximity of the cabin to the park, it is possible these pests can temporarily enter the cabin. We immediately respond and treat if anything comes up and have found it is rare to come across anything like this.

Once you visit Can't Bear to Leave cabin, you will want to come back season after season....see you soon!

My spouse and I have been traveling together since we met. We love being active and being outdoors, and our favorite thing to do is spend time on the water kayaking, or hiking in nature. We love sharing these experiences with our two young boys, and want to share it with you too at our home on Douglas Lake in the Smokies. We look forward to helping you have the best vacation yet!
