“Bearskin Lodge sits right at the edge of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and that proximity is a real asset for hikers. I like that some rooms face the river, others the town, giving you a choice of scenery. The rustic decor feels appropriate for the setting, and the outdoor fire pit creates a genuinely social vibe.”
