This cabin was amazing, very clean, well stocked kitchen. We had adults, toddler and infant and worked well for everyone. The location was great for things to do in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and een our son's wedding in the Smokey Mountains National Park. I would definitely go back.

GREAT place to stay in a great location!

Simple Bear Necessities is a very well-appointed cabin right off the Parkway but still feels very "mountain" like. It was clean and well stocked. Super convenient location very close to Dollywood. Tanya's communication is top notch and very informative. She is very detailed oriented which is very much appreciated. Pizza at the Cove at the bottom of the hill is a must try! Would definitely stay again here of at any of her other properties. Highly recommend Tanya's Cabins!

Beautiful Cabin!

This cabin was perfect for our stay in Pigeon Forge. We wanted something away from the main parkway, but still close by to activities and restaurants. The cabin was spacious and had everything we needed. It's decorated nicely and felt cozy. We loved the hot tub and there is just a short walk to the community pool, which was great for the kids. We definitely recommend this cabin!

Fantastic getaway cabin close to everything!

My husband and I, along with our 5 children stayed in this amazing cabin for 5 nights and it was truly great! The kids loved the nerf guns, all the other family games, the spacious rooms, and the hot tub. There’s also a community pool. You’re just a few minutes away from Dollywood and downtown Pigeon Forge. A quiet neighborhood with everything you would want to do close by! Super clean and very nice in every way. We loved it so much, we will definitely be coming back as we love the Smokies! We’ve stayed other places over the years and we both agree this was certainly our favorite. 5 stars all day! Thank you!

Bathroom showers need grab bars. King beds need to lower. All tv’s need to be hook up to Roku’s. The location was perfect to get around to all places. The beds are very comfortable. Lots of space. Little pricey, but very nice place to stay.

HAPPY TRAVELERS

This place was absolutely beautiful. The beds are very comfortable too. The place was big & we had plenty of room for us. We had 3 kids under 10 & 4 adults. The kids room was perfect with bunkbeds & a full size air hockey game. The kids loved that. This cabin is also very close to the main drag & only 10/15 minute from Gatlinburg. This is the perfect cabin for a vacation.

This was a great home , well furnished and fantastic hosts. So close to Dollywood and easy to places like Gatlinburg it’s in an ideal location. Everyone loved the stay. Super cozy home in a hillside neighborhood. Sip coffee on the porch in the morning and wine by the hot tub at night. Plenty of room for everyone. Would return without question …

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

We booked Simple Bear Necessities for our Family Christmas Vacation for the first time this year 2024. It was absolutely wonderful! Great Location, Super Clean, Super Nice and Friendly Staff. The owners and staff checked the Cabin before we moved in and then they followed up with us after 24 hours to see is we needed anything and how our stay was going. We have been coming to the Smokies for nearly 50 years and this was the first time the owners and staff had check in on us. Great gesture and very much appreciated! Highly Recommended!!

Great stay

we had a wonderful time renting this cabin. Its one of the cleanest places we have stayed. We go to tenesee quite often and had stayed several places and have had issues. The managers of this property are very active in making sure you have a good experience. They are also very responsive and easy to get ahold of. All furniture was very nice. You can really tell the managers care about their rental and put time and effort into making this a great place for anyone to stay. I think it would work for all ages. There is enough space for numerous people and also a full size washer and dryer. Which is very nice. Would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Tanya

Host profile image
Hello everyone, my name is Tanya. I’m a married mom of four who loves outdoor adventures and spending quality time with family. We absolutely adore the beauty of nature, and all the fun activities this area offers. We love the area so much that in August of 2020 our family decided to purchase our first vacation home. We wanted something large and luxurious enough for our family of six and ideal for hosting friends and extended family when we travel together. We hope you enjoy our property as much as our family has. Please reach out if you have any questions— I’m always happy to help!

Why they chose this property

Love the cabin feel, easy to get to with no steep windy roads. Close to everything! My kids went on rollercoasters, GoKart racing, and the National Park in one day. That's how close everything is. The Island is nearby which has lots of shopping and entertainment. You can even play a round of Golf just across the street at the Gatlinburg Golf Course.

What makes this property unique

Perfect for people who may have trouble with stairs. There are no stairs or or even a step to enter the house! Everything you may need is on the first floor: kitchen, living room, laundry and dining room along with a master king ensuite. There are no stairs or steps on the first floor. Three more bedrooms upstairs, which all include large closets, televisions and ceiling fans. The BBQ grill is in the front and private hot tub out back. Pac-Man arcade and air hockey table upstairs to keep the kids occupied. There is also a community pool and fire pit, please bring your own firewood if you would like to use the fire pit.
