Description
With a convenient location in the Chalet Village resort, Cozy Bear 856 keeps you close to the area’s best restaurants, shops, and attractions. Easily pop into town to grab a stack of pancakes, go skiing or indoor ice skating at Ober Gatlinburg, start the day with coffee downtown, do some shopping at The Village, or stroll along the Parkway. The Great Smoky Mountains National Park is nearby and offers miles of trails for outdoor fun, and the Great Smoky Arts & Crafts Community is the perfect place to meet local artisans and pick up local art pieces and gifts.
Cozy Bear 856 has 2 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, so there is space to sleep up to 5 guests. It’s well-sized for a family or a few friends wanting to feel at home and have fun in the mountains. Bedding includes 1 king-size bed, 1 queen-size bed, and 1 twin, and each room includes creature comforts like bedside lamps, dressers for unpacking, a ceiling fan, and a flatscreen TV.
Begin mornings making breakfast in the cabin’s fully equipped kitchen. With an oven with stovetop, microwave, toaster, dishwasher, and refrigerator/freezer, it will be easy to make meals for the group here. Grab fresh ingredients at the Gatlinburg Farmers Market or just stop by the grocery store and fill up the cabin with your favorite snacks and drinks. Then sit down at the dining table for 6 for some quality time together.
Cozy up on the sofa or in the comfortable chairs by the fireplace as you read a book or chat with family and friends. Flip on the flatscreen TV here to watch some shows or to pop a movie in the DVD player. With Wi-Fi in the cabin as well, the living room is a nice place to just hang out and unwind.
Outside, sip coffee at the table under the umbrella, and get some sun in the chairs on the open deck as you watch the Ober Gatlinburg tram overhead. Climb into the bubbling outdoor hot tub for tired muscles and enjoy feeling tucked away among the trees at this charming cabin!
Cozy Bear 856 also has a washer/dryer for guests’ convenience, along with community pool access, a charcoal grill for cookouts, and a pool table for some fun!
Living Room
Large windows, a stone (gas) fireplace, comfortable seating, a flatscreen TV and DVD player…the living room in Cozy Bear 856 has all you need to unwind in the mountains. Curl up on the plush sofa, crack open a good book in the chairs – with your feet up – and stay warm by the fireplace on cool mountain nights. Sip a glass of wine as you watch a movie here, with popcorn made fresh in the full kitchen nearby.
The coffee table offers space to play card games or pile up snacks while you hang out. And while you relax, enjoy the beautiful tree-studded views through the many windows here! Enjoy year-round views, whether it’s snow-capped trees in the winter, changing leaves in the fall, or lush greenery in spring and summer!
Kitchen
While there are many great options for dining downtown, having a fully equipped kitchen in the cabin means you can save money on dining out and always prepare your favorite meals. Make holiday dinners with your family recipes, cook big breakfasts to help you fuel up before a hike, or use the space to pack up a picnic lunch.
Not into cooking? Use the space to store leftovers from downtown, keep that classic Gatlinburg fudge fresh, or just have snacks and drinks in the cabin. And with a dishwasher, you can easily clean up after cooking here!
Dining Area
The dining table is just off the fully equipped kitchen and is a nice spot for enjoying meals together. Easily grab second helpings with the kitchen just steps away or let the kids help set the table for a fancy dinner. Set up a buffet of snacks on days around the cabin or just set out pizza for dinner.
After meals are done, clear the table and make it your game night hub! Bring your favorite puzzles, board games, and card games to play or make holiday-themed crafts with the kids. It’s also a great spot for homeschooling or taking care of some work on a longer trip.
Workspace|Loft
Another good spot for getting some work done is the loft space. There is a desk tucked in the corner that has a nice desk chair, a desk lamp, and a nice view through the high windows. Bring along the kids’ weekend homework on a last-minute trip or take care of those last few emails.
Bedrooms
Each bedroom in Cozy Bear 856 is a welcoming space. One bedroom has a king-size bed and is painted with cool, calming hues. It has a dresser so you can unpack, bedside tables with lamps, a bench at the end of the bed, a ceiling fan, and a flatscreen TV.

The open deck has a 4-person table with an umbrella for sunny days, along with deck chairs for sipping a drink and relaxing. The Ober Gatlinburg tramway runs overhead, great for watching and relaxing!
The hot tub sits on a covered part of the deck, so you can soak away even when it’s raining or snowing. After a big hike or a long day, climb into your bubbling hot tub and unwind!
Local Fun
A spot in Chalet Village keeps you close to dozens of attractions. Find plenty of fun downtown, from miniature golf, go karts, and laser tag to distilleries, art galleries, and unique attractions. Need some ideas?
Ober Gatlinburg
When you’re not watching the tram overhead from your cabin’s deck, take the short drive to Ober Gatlinburg to have your own fun! Go indoor ice skating, try skiing and snowboarding, ride the alpine slide, and celebrate at the annual OktOBERfest!

An Unforgettable Smoky Mountain Experience at Cozy Bear! Our family of three (including our 6-year-old daughter) had an absolutely wonderful stay at Cozy Bear, and it turned out to be one of the most memorable vacations we've ever taken. The biggest highlight happened on our very first day. As we were settling into the cabin, a mama black bear casually stopped by to say hello! Then, as if the Smokies wanted to give us the perfect ending, she came back on our last day while we were checking out to say goodbye. Seeing a black bear in its natural habitat—safely from our cabin—was an incredible experience. It's something many visitors hope and even pay for guided tours to experience, and we were lucky enough to witness it for free on our very first trip to the Smoky Mountains! Our daughter was absolutely thrilled and still talks about it. It became the highlight of our entire vacation. The cabin itself was clean, cozy, peaceful, and had everything we needed for a relaxing family getaway. We especially enjoyed spending time on the deck, soaking in the hot tub, and listening to the sounds of nature in the evenings. One of the biggest advantages of this cabin is its location. It was only about 5–10 minutes from many of the area's top attractions, including: * Gatlinburg SkyPark & SkyBridge * Anakeesta * Ober Mountain * Downtown Gatlinburg * Great Smoky Mountains National Park entrance We never felt like we spent too much time driving, which made it perfect for traveling with a young child. We could easily explore during the day and return to the peaceful cabin whenever we wanted. The management company also provided clear check-in instructions, and the cabin was exactly as described. We appreciated how easy the entire process was from arrival to departure. One Small Note The only minor downside was the wildlife that comes with staying in a mountain cabin. Since you're literally surrounded by nature, expect spiders to rebuild webs overnight and ants to make the occasional appearance—even though we never brought food into the bedrooms or left food sitting out. Honestly, that's part of staying in a cabin in the woods, and it didn't take away from our overall experience. Overall If you're looking for a peaceful cabin that's close to all the major attractions while still giving you that authentic Smoky Mountain experience, I highly recommend Cozy Bear. Between the incredible location, comfortable accommodations, beautiful surroundings, and our unforgettable bear encounters, this trip created memories our family will cherish for years. We would absolutely stay at Cozy Bear again on our next visit to the Smokies. Thank you for making our first Smoky Mountain vacation so special!

Nice place to stay in warm springs
We had a really nice time at the Anastasia Cottage unfortunately it was a little cold and rainy to enjoy the outside. It still was a great place to enjoy friends. We took advantage of the warm springs pool and some very good restaurants will definitely come back. Thank you so much.
Andrea
Peaceful and beautiful
Would definitely recommend and come back to this cabin.

Absolutely adorable place
Beds were extremely comfortable, cozy, loved the view. Could have used more than one roll of toilet paper, parking space is barely big enough for one vehicle. If you have two be careful parking across the street because the owner of the house up top will definitely let you know he wants you to move.

Need to modernize cabin
Bears were too close and steps are too steep
