Standing Bear Farm

In the heart of the Smoky Mountains surrounded by Cherokee National Forest lies Standing Bear Farm, a turn of the century multi-generational farmstead including the original homestead, barns, outbuildings and farmhouse. The outbuildings have now been converted to a bunkhouse and cabin where we offer rustic lodging to hikers and others interested in stepping back from today’s hectic lifestyle to a time in America’s past when life in rural back country Appalachia was considered the “good life”. Standing Bear Farm is three miles North of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park and two hundred yards off of the Appalachian Trail. We offer lodging in our rustic bunkhouse or cabin, tent camping, authentic Tee-Pee, hot showers, laundry, free internet, phone, mail-drop, shuttle service, microwave, fire pits and gas grill. We have resupply to include items for you to grill plus condiments.White water rafting trips available on the Pigeon River, a class 3+ river. Raft in the morning and continue hiking that afternoon.
