About Ranger Bob's Trading Post

Ranger Bob's stands out from the typical Gatlinburg souvenir shop with its welcoming atmosphere and notably helpful staff. Visitors consistently rave about the store's signature 'Bear Farts' candles (yes, really—they smell amazing, not funny), along with unique items like Corinthian Bells wind chimes, handmade hummingbird feeders, and carefully curated Smoky Mountain merchandise. While most guests praise the quality and friendly service, a couple of visitors felt the staff was inattentive or found prices high for imported goods.
