We had a great stay at the cabin! For our family of 5, we had everything we needed. We had plenty of space; each kid had their own room which they liked very much. The kids also really enjoyed the pool table and going to the pool. We really liked how close we were to everything; just minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and 10 minutes to the GSMNP Sugarlands Visitor Center.The communication with the owner was superb. A wealth of knowledge was shared ahead of time to help with planning our trip, and then immediate communication was provided when any questions arose during our stay.We did see a bear, maybe two different ones, on a few occasions at the cabin. It was really special and the highlight of our trip.

We loved the cottage. We had 1 bear sighting at our house. The only thing we did not like was the lack of service for phones, even using the wifi. It was very spotty. At times we could not get a signal at all. It made it difficult to call out and sometimes to watch TV.It is up in the mountains from pigeon forge but easy to get to Gatlinburg. Would not rent again because of location because we like to be closer to stores. But was an excellent place in the woods.

Everything was so perfect. It was clean and very family friendly. Our whole family including the kids really enjoyed the stay. They had provided with every basic needs wether it be for restrooms or kitchen or laundry. Everything was available and the best part was they had so many towels so we didnt have to repeat any towels. Loved the hot tub experience. Kids really enjoyed this place. Definitely would recommend to everyone who wants to stay here.

The cabin offered plenty of space with 4 queen or king sized bedrooms and 2 living areas with tvs. Kitchen was small but well stocked with items needed for cooking a variety of meals. Decor was pleasing, with interesting bear themed items and local pottery and handmade wood items. We enjoyed the local bear family's daily visits. Host was responsive to a minor problem with the dishwasher.

About the host

Hosted by Johnny Duke

Host profile image
My wife and I are both educators. We bought Bear Haven primarily as a retreat to share with our sons. I grew up going to the Smoky Mountains on a semi-regular basis. Some of my favorite childhood memories are fall visits to see the leaves and nights walking the strip in Gatlinburg.

Why they chose this property

We love the location since my sons and I hike and fly-fish in the mountains, while my wife and daughter-in-law have access to unlimited shopping and bargain hunting in the area.

What makes this property unique

We love the tongue and groove paneling and the stone fireplaces. The deck is a nice place to relax under the shade of trees in the summer. While we have neighbors within sight, this is in an older section of Ski Mountains where the cabins are more spaced out.
