Bear-rific View - Unplug, unwind and enjoy creationâs beauty in your cozy cabin.
If your looking for a place to rest and unwind, youâve found it. People say the cabin is cozy and feels like home away from home. The cabin has expansive views of the Smoky Mountains and of famous Mt Leconte. The cabin is just a little ways up and tucked away amongst the trees giving you excellent privacy and opportunities to see wildlife and the occasional black bear that makes its way along the ridge. The pics donât do it justice.
When youâre home, the mountains are visible from most places in the cabin as natural light comes flooding in from the expansive windows. The real wood fireplace can keep you warm on winter days and adds to a cozy evening after dark. You can enjoy a book on an oversized chair in the bedrooms or on the balcony with your favorite beverage. After a hike in the park or a night on the town you can come home and slip into the hot tub or hang out on the large deck to unwind.
If solitude is not what you crave, you can be in Pigeon Forge in about 10 minutes to enjoy your favorite restaurants and activities. If the kids are in tow, we have a game room with a pool table and vintage arcade games. Dollywood is nearby and is a family favorite. NOTE: There are three sets stairways and about 20 steps to reach the cabin and a narrow sidewalk between the first and second set. Please take this into account before you book.
Nice and peaceful location. View was good but would definitely be great with no leaves on the trees. It is seasonal. The decks were very nice. It would be nice if the lower deck had a gate that could be closed, so furbabies and kids could not go off of it. Hot tub was great! No grill on sight. Kitchen was stocked but there really wasn't any 9x13 pans and some important utensils. We bring a lot of kitchen items from home. Beds were comfortable. The TV in the living room area is extremely small. The bedroom TV's were bigger. The upstairs loft area with chairs needed cleaned. The floors were pretty dirty up there. The upstairs bathroom is pretty small and the toilet had issues flushing at times. The refrigerator was leaking, so we had to keep wiping up the water from it. All and all not a bad place. Just needed a little TLC here and there. Would recommend and would stay again.
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin! It was spotless, comfortable, and ready for us when we arrived. The views are absolutely breathtakingâyou truly canât beat waking up to that scenery each morning, and the deck is perfect for soaking it all in. The hot tub was sparkling clean and so relaxing, and our kids loved every inch of the cabin, especially the game room.The cabin is in bear country, so be mindful and use the bear-proof trash cans conveniently located near the parking area. During our stay, we even had the wild experience of a bear wandering close by while we were in the hot tub! Thankfully, we were safe and able to step inside quickly, but it was definitely a reminder that this is their natural habitat. Just take normal precautions, stay aware, and youâll be fineâitâs part of the mountain charm.We were especially grateful to find a pet-friendly cabin this nice, and we hope future guests help keep it that way by treating it with care. The host was responsive, kind, and made the whole process easy. Weâd absolutely recommend booking this cabin for a beautiful, memorable getaway!
Great location, views were top notch. Hot tub was clean and communication with the host was perfect. We found the cabin as described in the listing with everything we needed on hand. Really enjoyed our stay and looking forward to next time!
The cabin was nice and in a good location to what we were visiting in town. I thought it was odd that there was no handsoap in the whole house. It may just be me, but I don't travel with hand soap, we had to use our body wash to wash our hands after using the bathroom. I will pay better attention to amenities in the future. The upstairs toilet didn't flush so we couldn't use it, which was inconvenient in the middle of the night, but the owner was very nice about it and I understand that things break or don't work all the time. The hot tub was nice and the view was beautiful. Overall, we had a nice stay.
What a great spot for a great little weekend getaway. The cabin was nestled down a gravel drive, with PLENTY of privacy and an expansive view of the beautiful mountains. The location was perfect to drop into Dollywood and Pigeon Forge, but still feel like you are out in the woods. The cabin was immaculate, well stocked and such a great home base for the weekend activities. Check in was a breeze and the hosts were incredibly communicative, but also let us enjoy our stay without interruption. My pup LOVED the massive windows and basically stared off the porch all day. Weâll definitely be back!
The view is wonderful!! Extremely charming cabin! Very quiet and relaxing. We will be staying there again the next time we are in the area. We highly recommend this cabin!!
The cabin has a great layout, I just wished it was cleaner and managed better. My disappointments and areas of concern were: the couch reeked of urine, pet hair through out, chewed furniture and trim, water stains on vaulted ceiling, cob webs inside and out, non working light fixture on upstairs fan, missing/burnt out bulbs in multiple fixtures. Very low 40w bulb on a bent/worn out dimmer over the eating area (pretty much made it pointless for use in the evening). Showers are dark because of no lighting above and the curtain upstairs was gross. It was too long so a foot or more was on the shower floor underfoot. The pool table was nice and got a lot of use during our stay once we noticed which pool cues were decent enough to use. The arcade display only projected on the bottom half of the screen. Not all was negative, the beds were clean and comfortable and the kitchen was furnished with everything needed to prepare a meal.
Absolutely breathtaking views from the deck and hot tub! Everything was clean and updated. The secluded cabin was even more beautiful than the photos portrayed. It was nice to have the pool table for some extra fun. Check in was easy and John was a great host. Note that it is probably a good idea to have a 4 wheel drive to get up to the cabin. We rode a Harley and did have to park at the bottom of the driveway because of the loose gravel on the drive and parking area.
Our family of four with two teen daughters had a really terrific time at the Bear-rific cabin. The cabin was clean, had a wonderful view, and we enjoyed watching it from the hot tub and while drinking coffee on the deck. John was incredibly responsive and helpful. Thanks for everything!
