A great place to stay!

We decided to go on an babymoon and this was such great cabin to stay in! We loved how secluded it felt while still being about 10 minutes from Gatlinburg. The cabin was clean, matched the listing description and pictures 100%, and the check in and check out procedures were a breeze! Will definitely be staying here again!!

Beary Lovely

We had the BEST time in this cabin. We wanted seclusion. We were able to use the hot tub in total privacy. EVERYTHING worked properly. It's cozy and quaint. We had a great time playing pool. We experienced snow on the last day of our stay and the owners were great to make sure there was a snow shovel and salt so that we wouldn't have any problems leaving the cabin. I've stayed at several cabins in the Smokey's over the year, but this was by far my favorite!!!

Great cabin

Loved the cabin! Very clean and very pretty. The road was horrible. The sign said drive at your own risk. It should have said are you stupid! lol They really do need to fix the road at the bottom where it’s washed out and at the top when you go over the hill and lose the road. Very scary!

Loved the Bear Cabin!

We truly enjoyed our stay in this cabin. It was a last minute booking, we booked on Thursday morning for a Friday-Sunday stay. We were so lucky that it was available for our last minute getaway to the Smoky Mountain area. Cabin was clean, tidy and just as described. We loved enjoying our coffee on the deck prior to starting our days. All the necessities were provided to prepare meals, wash clothes and wash dishes- we just had to bring the groceries and move right in. Thank you for sharing your cabin with us!
