We stayed at this property prior and liked it we decided to rent again for 3 nights. On first entering, it appeared clean and well maintained, but after the first night encountering issues, we decided we would leave. I contacted host via messaging, and she responded promptly. Informed her of issues and that we would be leaving immediately. She responded stating she would have her husband come and inspect. He never showed and I contacted her again and stated he wasn't coming and I asked her if she wanted pictures of the problem. She stated no, but we took them incase there was problems. She stated she would issue refund. I waited several hours with no refund noted and I contacted VRBO, who was very helpful. They contacted her and she stated she would issue refund "when I get off work." I waited several days with no refund and recontacted VRBO again, who once again contacted her. At this point, they wanted pictures and thank goodness we had them. After almost 1 hour of back and forth, we were offer a 2 night refund and refund of cleaning fees. I will not add pictures or state the specific issue. unless needed, but I would be very cautious renting this house.

Only 1 complaint: I recommend to the Host that she set up a welcome message for the 4pm check-in time which includes the door code and the wifi password. Getting those with no service could be a real issue. Sidenote: If you use Xfinity it will connect to the house hotspot.The good stuff! We love this place!!! It seemed a little sketchy when we pulled down the road with a business out front, but it is totally hidden from any surroundings and was very private. As soon as we parked, I could hear the creek roaring!! So exciting.My husband and I will be 50 this year and we both have mobility issues. The front porch is wide and nice for assistance with the few steps. The rest of the house is VERY spacious and plenty of space to move with and without assistance. A seat in the shower was nice also. We didn't cook but there were lots of options if we wanted. It does need salt! I meant to grab some before we left but I forgot. Lots of pepper but no salt. We slept in the King size bed and robbed pillows from the other bedroom and slept like Kings! So comfortable with fantastic bedding. The location is perfect. Off the beaten path but right on a main road. It was everything we wanted. The creek was the highlight! And for those that worry like us- the wifi is perfect, the TV apps excellent, the hot tub temp was hot and ready, and the a/c was cool when we opened the door! 10 out of 10!PS That bear silhouette will scare you if you arrive late like us! hahaha

Very clean house. Loved the privacy and location. Close to downtown Gatlinburg, but not in a busy location. The property was easy to find. Will stay here again if our daughter has another soccer tournament.

Home away from Home!
The location was great! 25-30 minutes to Downtown Gatlinburg. The neighborhood was quiet which is always a plus. Parking in the front yard was easy. Plenty of parking room and not on an incline. If you know , you know that most properties in this area do not have a flat parking area. The inside of the cabin was spotless! Plenty of linens and towels. Just about anything you need is there. Including 3 different coffee makers! The game room was fun. I enjoyed several games of pac-man.It really felt like you were at home. The hot tub was relaxing and you could enjoy the view of the creek and wood-line. The creek was perfect for wading and looking for pretty rocks.i would stay here forever if I could! .

Perfect cabin stay for a family
We loved our stay! It was far enough away from Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge areas but also close enough to visit every day. Patricia was awesome to work with, and always responded quickly! The inside of the cabin was so clean! The cabin was so cozy, and peaceful! It was just what our family needed for a few days away. The kids really enjoyed the game room as well!

Birthday Getaway at Bear Creek
The cabin was more like a house with a big, fully equipped kitchen, two large bedrooms with huge bathrooms. The “playroom” had all kinds of games for kids and adults. There was a hot tub but we didn’t get to use it and because it rained everyday, we didn’t get to build a fire in the fire pit. The cabin was very clean and convenient to lots of restaurants (Trish’s Restaurant was awesome) and other shops. It was an easy drive from the main highway and our GPS took us right to the driveway. The neighborhood was quite and we loved the sound of the creek. We will definitely rent this cabin again!

Beautiful Cabin
Our experience was amazing! We were blown away when we walked in. There is everything you need and more inside this cabin. Everything about this property was nothing but perfect. We will definitely be back.
I would say however, make sure to contact the host BEFOREHAND for information on how to work the fire place and the Wi-Fi password as there was no explanation on that. There isn't any cell reception once you get there so make sure to handle that upon arrival!

Relaxing
Overall excellent. Very clean, quaint home. Loved the stream, back porch and hot tub! Appreciated the large dining table. The kitchen was well stocked. The game room was a nice addition. The only negative was the queen bed was harder than we liked but, not worn or lumpy. Also didn’t get any info on entry code, WiFi until was at the property- used the ring doorbell to teach the owner and they came right away to make sure we got in( had some difficulty hearing on ring doorbell) If you are looking for away from it all, quiet, relaxing but still within 20 minutes to Gatlinburg ( very easy drive-2 lane each way) this is your place! Thank you for the stay!
