Bear's Den Smoky Mountain News is MOVING!

That's RIGHT! It's time to move on. Blogger.com has been a great resource for us but the Bear's Den needed a whole new look and level of services.

Our new location is http://www.bearsdenblog.com/ where you'll still find out what the Smokies are all about. We'll keep you informed of all the fun activities like hiking, shopping, fishing, or scenic mountain drives. Learn about all the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge attractions, restaurants, and shopping.

Not ONLY are we blogging on a new platform but our friends, fans, and guests can now follow us on Facebook and Twitter. Of course you can still find us at http://www.bearsdengatlinburg.net/ !

We've Updated the Bear's Den VRBO Page - New Maps, Profile, and Video

We've just updated our VRBO property listing with a new "Owner's Map of Gatlinburg", Profile, and video.

The Owner's Map and Profile are now active and will be enhanced with more and more of OUR favorite restaurants, attractions, trails, and loacations. The map is powered by Google and takes advantage of their ability to place "push pins" and descriptions. We think this will be a valuable tool for our guests for a couple of reasons.

First, new guests will be able to see where the Bear's Den is in relation to the Gatlinburg "Strip" and major access roads. One of the first questions that new guests ask is . . . "Where is the cabin?"

More importantly, the map will be an on-going resource to guest. The Bear's Den is equipped with high-speed Internet service. Guests that are traveling with WiFi devices (laptops, iTouch, etc.) can access our map for tips on area attractions and services.

We want out guest to get the MOST out of their vacation time. Providing information that helps them with trip planning and first-hand tips on the "must see" attractions is a real benefit
