about the cabin

The Zen Bears Den

Tucked into the peaceful woods of Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, The Zen Bear’s Den is a warm, traditional Smoky Mountain cabin designed for both relaxation and adventure. Here, guests get the best of both worlds—a quiet mountain retreat that’s still just minutes from dining, attractions, and everything the Smokies have to offer. 

Inside, inviting spaces are designed for connection, comfort, and easy living—perfect for family trips, couples’ escapes, or weekends with friends. Thoughtful updates and cozy cabin charm create a stay that feels effortless from the moment you arrive.

Sip coffee on the deck, unwind after a day exploring the Great Smoky Mountains, and settle into a space that truly feels like a getaway. The Zen Bear’s Den is more than a place to stay—it’s where memories are made.
