Cabin on the Mountain

Don't let the driveway intimidate you...certainly steep but our minivan handled it! The cabin is nicely located close to Gatlinburg and GSMNP. Even saw a bear the first evening just up the road. Very enjoyable stay...would come again.

Nice place

Great place to stay. The driveway is a little rough to get up. We had a rear wheel drive truck and it spun the tires quit a bit trying to get up the driveway. If you are in a truck like ours you need to hit the gas hard to make it up the hill. Driving slow up it is not an option. Overall very nice place. Would stay here again if coming back.

Relaxing stay in the mountains

Our family thoroughly enjoyed our time staying here. My kids loved the bunk beds and pool table. The kitchen was well equipped. And drinking coffee on the porch was a highlight. It had everything our family needed for a relaxing time. Thank you for a great stay!

If only it didn’t have that driveway.

The owners were so nice and the cabin was nice. Deep cleaning needed but overall okay. My main issue is the driveway. If you don’t have AWD/4WD don’t waste your time. You car won’t make it up this driveway which needs some major work. If they fixed the driveway and did some deep cleaning it would be perfect, private place to stay.

The view was great

We love the view and the privacy of the place but it wasn't clean. There was so much dust over everything and the wall outside beside the hot tub had bees buildings in it .We couldn't use the grill because it was so dirty.We couldn't enjoy the pool table because the room its in is so small you couldn't make your shots for hitting the walls.We will not be renting from them again i hate saying that but out of all the years ive been renting places is the worst.

Cabin is too warm!

We stayed for nights and thankful we didn’t book more it for any longer. The “air conditioning” was nonexistent on the upper level where the kitchen, main living room, king bedroom and small bathroom are. It was so hot and uncomfortable the whole time on this level. The air in the vents coming out was not cool whatsoever. The hosts were good at getting back to us for support but all they could tell us was close the curtains to shutout sunlight and make sure all ceiling fans are on. There are single wall ac units on the bottom and top levels and those rooms were nice but those units were no help for the rest of the cabin. The kitchen had from the moment we walked in the door and the hairdryer doesn’t work in the bathroom on the kitchen level, and the driveway was steep to say the least! It had me literally shaking in my knees. The cabin was overall nice but the AC needs fixed and unless you have a front wheel drive you’ll struggle getting up that mammoth driveway!!! Also the washer & dryer are on the top floor and stacked. I’m 5’2 and couldn’t see the functions to turn it on. Good luck and best wishes if you stay here. Take lots of fans.

Overall we loved the property. The driveway is intimidating at first, but manageable. The drive back to the property was not what us "flat-landers" were expecting, but we quickly became acclimated to that as well. The layout of the cabin is unique, and worked well for our group of 7. The kitchen had everything we needed and we felt that the cabin was oveall clean. We gave 4/5 stars on cleanliness only because of cobwebs (on light fixture in living room), and some maintenance needing done outside. The steps going down the driveway need weeded badly. We didn't use them, so it wasn't a huge issue for us. Also the railing on the lower deck needs repaired. Inside pictures were very accurate, outside pictures were slightly inaccurate only because of all the overgrowth of weeds on the property. However, with all that being said we would definitely stay at this place again.

Fantastic Family Getaway

Bears Hideaway helped our family make some great memories this past week! The hosts were extremely great to work with and even made sure we found what we needed during our stay. We have 5 kids (age range 15-7) that had never had a cabin experience and they had the BEST time! There was plenty of space for everyone and plenty to do between the pool table, hot tub and extra large deck space. One of my favorite parts was sitting on the top deck listening and watching a thunderstorm roll through. It was nice and private as well! The decor was super cute and the name did not disappoint - we saw a bear cross the road about a mile from the cabin. Super cool memories that we will treasure! Thank you Bill and Nicole!

Everything about this cabin was great. Everything was just like the pictures. The hosts were the best part. Very communicative, responds promptly, and super nice. The location was one of our favorite parts. This will be our go-to cabin for all of our Gatlinburg/Pigeon forge stays from now on!

Fantastic Cabin!

The hosts were super, Booking went really smooth! The Cabin itself was ecstatic, the driveway I'll have to say was pretty steep, but you don't have to go up it, park at the bottom and walk up the steps. The view was not great at all but was still tucked in the woods all nice and neat. Overall, we had a very nice, cozy getaway way back in the hills!!
