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!

This cabin was absolutely perfect! Conveniently located, house is kept very well! The host is very considerate to stock up on things for you that. That helped us stay focused on our vacation.

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!

Great Getaway

My husband and I stayed in the area for a couple of nights to hike. We had a slight challenge with the checkin process and the homeowner was very helpful and communicative in helping us. The view on the back porch was great and we loved the seclusion of the house. It was also close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I highly recommend the house!

Great cabin for couples!

The cabin is beautiful, inside and out. Pool table, board games, hot tub, jetted tub, and seclusion. What else could one want? The only minor complaint is that it was hard to cook because there was no light above the stove, but that's just nitpicking. I'd recommend this cabin to ANY couple. Jennifer answers quickly, if asked a question. The last hump right before you reach the cabin is a bit scary, but the road is there. It's the mountains and seclusion, and the spot is perfect. If one is not used to driving in the mountains, just go slow, you'll be fine. 9.9/10, would stsy again many times!

Quick Romantic Getaway

The cabin was the perfect size for two people. We saw a mama bear and her three cubs in the road as we approached the cabin for the first time. There were no issues. They shuffled off, never to be seen again during our stay. Jennie sent excellent directions to the cabin. The cabin was very clean and inviting. The hot tub on the back deck provided much needed relaxation after walking around Dollywood and up Ober Mountain. We appreciated the list of places to visit/see in the area in the cabin's guestbook. Jennie provided her own comments about the places which I found very helpful.

Everything was very nice. The pool table and hot tub were so much fun. Use the Boyd dr entrance much easier. The drive was not that bad once you knew where you were going. We would stay again and recommend it.
