FAQS
Where can I see a black bear?
There have been bear sightings at every cabin. The cabins with the most frequent visitors would be Sleepy Bear and Dip in the Smokies. Sleepy Bear was actually named after a black bear that LOVED to hang around the construction site during building. While they are very cool to see and seem super cuddly and soft we ask that you do NOT feed the bears as it could lead to injury or damage to the property.
