The rooms were very clean and big. We loved the river view! The sound was relaxing. Staff is very friendly. Breakfast area was very clean and good food options. At the end of the strip, which was nice. An Easy walk to everything. Would stay here again!!

After arriving in our room on the top floor we went to the balcony only to discover it was infested with carpenter bees! We went to the lobby and requested another room where there would be no bees and she gave us another room on the top floor. This was AGAIN infested with bees and you could not sit out... More

We enjoyed our 3 night stay at Bearskin. Our room was overlooking the river. It was good to hear the river when the door was open. It would have been nice if the door had a screen on it so we could have left it open part of the time. The view from our patio was less than desirable (... More

The rooms are spacious and clean. The beds are super comfy. They are a little pricey so we only stay here for a special trip like anniversary or for a late Christmas present. (off-season). They only thing I would change is the breakfast, it's just an average breakfast, nothing special.

We stayed at the Bearskin lodge for the first time this past April and was pleasantly surprised at how nice it was. The room was spacious and clean, the balcony overlooked the stream and the service was very friendly and helpful. I have stayed in several other hotels in Gatlinburg but I am definitely going to return to this one.... More

This place uses a lot of their terms for amenities very loosely. The pool is extremely small, the lazy river is more like an outline of a pool with concrete in the middle, and "on the river" is looking at the small shallow part of the creek that runs through town directly across from some other ugly building. I can... More

I stayed at the Bearskin Lodge this weekend and it left such an impression that I am writing my 1st ever hotel review. My room was clean and spacious. I didn't hear a peep from any other rooms. The bed was so comfortable and the whirlpool tub was huge! All of that was great, but best of all, they are... More

My husband and I enjoyed our spring getaway for 3 nights. Our room at the Bearskin Lodge was very clean and spacious. Our room was street side with hot tub and fireplace and on the 5th floor. At check-in we were offered a choice of the 3rd or 5th floor, which I thought was very considerate because I like the... More

This is a beautiful property. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. Clean room, comfortable bed, nice balcony. The only downside to the hotel is the size of the breakfast room and the breakfast itself. It really left a lot to be desired, so we had to go out for breakfast each morning. Other than that we had a great... More
