Great place got to take professional photos with the jeep in front of the murals. The huge duck was fun and I got to see the two live bears. Also bought some stuff. Great place with the most friendly people to visit. It is a must go next year for the Great Smoky Jeep Invasion 2026

Five Stars for Three Bears General Store!

Three Bears General Store is such a fun and memorable stop! The store itself is charming, full of unique goodies, snacks, and souvenirs, and the atmosphere is perfect for families. The highlight, though, is definitely the bears 🐻—seeing them up close was an experience we won’t forget.

Pro tip: plan to come before 9:30 so you can catch the bear feeding. It’s absolutely worth it and adds such a special touch to the visit, especially if you have kids.

We’ll definitely be back next time we’re in the area. Highly recommend stopping in and making it part of your day!
