Our History
For the past 20 years we have been welcoming guests to Our Hotel in downtown Gatlinburg. However, long before our property was established, our owners’ grandmother Hattie Ogle McGiffin began weaving the roots of our love for hospitality. Hattie was one of the pioneers of tourism here in Gatlinburg and was the owner of The Bearskin Motel. She was a devoted businesswoman, entrepreneur and a loving grandmother that took great pride in knowing that her grandchildren would carry on her legacy. Today, we take great pride in knowing that we are able to carry on her dream of giving folks a place to call their home away from home. And, that’s exactly what we hope to be to you, a home away from home. The next time to come to the Smoky Mountains for a getaway, give us a chance and we’ll be more than happy to welcome you to our Bearskin Lodge family! We hope to see you soon!
