The cabin was perfect in every way! This was our early family Christmas and it was wonderful! This cabin was beautiful, comfortable, spacious, cozy, fun. I loved watching the 2 bear outside. They did not bother us nor we them. We watched one in the tree eating berries and the other one waiting for it to finish. It maybe the trip more special. I will definitely will recommend cabin to family and friends.The host was so easy and friendly to work with. When I had questions, she answered in a timely manner. Perfect is all I can say! Thank you for making my Christmas vacation so special.

We stayed for 5 days in September. We fell in love with the quite area ontop of the hill. Sitting on the porch having coffee everymorning and even had visitors it was the highlight of our stay. Very clean, easy to communicate with owner. We cant wait to book another week for next year.

Great place, beautiful cabin and view. Seeing the bears were very cool. The location of the cabin was perfect. Thankful the roads are paved going up to the cabin. The roads are steep and narrow.

We loved our stay! The cabin was super clean, spacious, and comfortable. The cabin had everything we needed with a minor exception (total of 4 forks wasn't quite enough for us). We saw more bears than we could count. Up in our truck bed and sniffing the trash receptacles multiple times.We really enjoyed our stay.

Siblings getaway

We had great time staying at the cabin! Cabin is as described and pictured. We didn’t get a chance to use the hot tub but it was ready for us. We had a lot of bear sightings, even cubs! What a treat. We arrived in the night so the drive up was a bit challenging, so I’d suggest arriving before it gets dark.

Beautiful location

Nice cabin, easy check-in, 3 levels bedroom and bath on each level which was great for our 3 member group, 5 TV's, steep and narrow road but worth drive, just be careful. You will see bears.

Cabin was clean and in great shape. Bed and couches not the most comfy, but were ok for our short stay. Cabin is not as secluded as pictures make it seem. Plenty of other cabins around. Several bear frequent the area. So close the to everything we wanted to do.We had a great time

⸻Amazing Stay – Highly Recommend!

We had a fantastic stay at this beautiful home! From the moment we arrived, we were impressed by how spacious, clean, and well-appointed it was. There was plenty of room for everyone to spread out and relax, yet the cozy atmosphere made it feel like home.The location was perfect—close to everything we wanted to do while still feeling peaceful and secluded. One of the highlights of our trip was spotting a bear, which made our stay even more memorable!We were initially a little concerned about the drive up based on some reviews, but we found it to be completely manageable—nothing to worry about at all.Overall, this home exceeded our expectations, and we would absolutely stay here again. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a wonderful getaway!

Family Weekend Get Away

The Property was nice and cozy! Beautiful Views & saw a ton of bears. The drive up is a bit dicey and was not a fan of the beds. (Specifically the basement bed) it seems to just be a piece of foam and no mattress) but we had a great weekend!!

Black Bears and beautiful views.

Wonderful property. The house was amazing and we loved our trip. We saw at least 8 different bears. A momma bear and cub were laying on the deck. The bears are out the most around the cabin in the mornings. Everything was clean and nice. The views are amazing. My kids had a great time. We visited Wonderworks, Ripley’s Aquarium and mirror maze and the peanut butter taffy in Gatlinburg was delicious. We also had fun getting an old time photo taken and antique shopping at the antique malls close by. So much to do! Relaxing in the cabin and sitting on the deck was very peaceful and nice. Highly recommend this place! The bears are fun to watch. Make sure to lock all door and keep car windows all the way up. This has been the best vacation. Also for anyone with a child two and under, there is a pack and play here you can use.

Stunning.. views with bears..

What a wonderful property to stay and enjoy smokies. Great host. Perfect communication with clear instructions days before the trip. The property was perfectly clean and ready for our stay. When the host says there were bears around.. No joke.. there were 2 cute little roaming around the house. Visited the property and around promptly every morning ( except one day - we already felt missing seeing him). The drive to the top of the mountain and to the property requires some driving skills. Drive carefully. Overall fantastic stay. Would love to come back. Also I would recommend for anyone who would want great place to stay, enjoy great views and see cute bear right in front of your eyes.. go for it. Thanks christine and family..
