The cabin was exactly as advertised. It was very clean, spacious and very inviting. The hosts gave very clear and specific instructions throughout the stay. We really appreciated the close proximity to the local attractions and it was easy to access. We would absolutely book this home again.
Host quickly responded to all questions and was most welcoming. The cabin was beautiful and just as described. We enjoyed spending time in the hot tub, game room and living room. Bedrooms were spacious and comfortable. Highly recommended, and we were a group of 10.
Super place for our family get together. 10 folks including 5 and 6 year olds and a puppy. Plenty to do, plenty of bedrooms, nice views. Loved the late night visits by the bear to the community. Communicative hosts. All great, thanks
This cabin was exactly as listed! Location was great!! We were far enough away from everything, but also close enough for all the fun! Would definitely recommend this location!!
The cabin was spectacular! The cabin was so much more beautiful than the pictures in the listing. I would highly recommend this cabin. We had a great time and a ton of room!
Family took a small vacay and stayed in this wonderful home. Awesome people to work with! Home is just as described. Loads of room for all of us. Beds all super comfy. Location incredible close to so many attractions. Everyone loved it will stay again.
We enjoyed our stay. Amanda was fabulous! She answered all our questions and was very patient with me. The cabin was very clean. We would recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a mountain cabin getaway. 😊
Great property for multiple households, with multi-levels of bedrooms/bathrooms to accommodate those on different sleeping schedules. Gameroom level was a hit, as were the outdoor decks, for additional room and activities while at the cabin. Perfect location to either drive or grab a trolley into Gatlinburg, and to drive to Pigeon Forge. Hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions and overall communication was excellent.
The home was beautiful and we really enjoyed the downstairs game and movie room!! You honestly didn't need to leave. This cabin was very relaxing and they set you up with necessities which lasted our large family for the week! Would definitely stay again.
We had such a great time on our vacation. It was so nice to still feel the comforts of home and be able to just completely enjoy our time together. Thank you for providing such a beautiful setting!
We loved our stay at the Bears Wilderness Lodge! The house was exactly as described, offering everything we needed and wanted for our family vacation. The location was peaceful and wasn’t too far from Gatlinburg or the National Park. We had our dogs travel with us….the amount of grass wasn’t plentiful, but they did great when out for a walk. Would stay here again!
My families stay was great. Amanda was a great host and was very accommodating. She always answered back quickly. The cabin had everything we needed and was very clean. It was also close to the main strip in Gatlinburg, which was good. All in all we had a great family trip.
My family and i decided last minute to spend Christmas in Tennessee and i can't be happier , it has everything you need , it's close to the supermarket and gas stations and the location is very quite just what we wanted . LOVE THIS CABIN SO MUCH :)
The house worked out really well for us. Nice big bedrooms. Comfortable beds. We enjoyed the pool table and home theater. Dollywood is about 20 minutes away
The cabin was clean and the rooms were spacious. No misleading photos here. We loved the 3 floor layout: Kids stayed in the basement/game room, adults upstairs, and we all could converge in the main floor for food. This was perfect for our multi-family getaway. Thanks again for the great stay!
We booked this cabin for my sisters 30th birthday. We enjoyed all of the amenities, especially the game room. We explored one day but found ourselves wanting to go back to the cabin (granted, it was rainy) so everyone could hang out. Already planning our next stay! The host was PHENOMENAL and provided everything we needed and more.
We really enjoyed our visit. The cabin was very clean, the beds super comfy and the furniture looked like new. Plenty of space for the 12 of us. Really quiet at night. Amanda was very responsive and checked in on us. We would come here again. Thank you!
We really enjoyed our stay here! The cabin was clean and have to say it was the most comfortable bed I had ever slept in away from home! The teenagers loved the game room and hot tub. They really enjoyed watching movies in the little theatre every night. The owners are lovely and responded quickly when I contacted them. I highly recommend!
We all loved our stay! The cabin just felt like home. We were in town celebrating birthdays, especially the baby of the family who had just turned 21. We all slept great in the super comfy king beds. The owners thought of everything. Every room even had a box fan available for our use, which was appreciated. Would love to stay again in the future! Thanks for a great visit Mark and Amanda ♥️
