My husband and I stayed for a weekend recently. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. It was stocked with everything we needed. Views were beautiful!! The host was very friendly and helpful with great communication. My husband accidentally left his backpack at the cabin and realized it when we were at the airport. They graciously mailed it to us. Highly recommend staying here!

About the host

Hosted by Richele

Host profile image
We have dreamed about owning a mountain home. So yes, this is a dream come true! We love exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Every hike is an adventure and new memories are made for our family. We are excited to finally own three beautiful mountain cabins and thrilled to share them with you.

"Bear in Mind" (VRBO#2142098) and "It Bears Repeating" (VRBO#2805434) are located in Gatlinburg in the Arts and Crafts Community. The cabins are close together which makes them perfect for big families or large groups. "Bearindipity" (VRBO#2725990) is located in Pigeon Forge near The Ripken Experience Ballpark. Our cabins are tucked away for privacy yet close to grocery stores and all the tourist attractions located along The Parkway.

All three cabins are loaded with all the amenities needed for the perfect vacation experience. We thought of everything. From fire pits, to cookware, plush towels and the most comfortable beds you can imagine. You will discover why we are a 5-Star vacation experience and why our guest return year after year.

Make sure to check out all three of our cabins when planning your vacation in the Smoky Mountains!

Why they chose this property

The peaceful mountain view! Sitting on the deck in the quietness of the forest with Mt LeConte in the distance is perfection. We fell in love with the cabin's convenient location and secluded feeling.

What makes this property unique

"Bear in Mind" is conveniently located to everything! The cabin is situated at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's north side entrance and a short drive to all of the attractions in Gatlinburg and along The Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Hint, hint...make sure to take advantage of the back road "short cut" to the cabin during crowded, heavy traffic times in Gatlingurg!
