Excellent Cabin

The pictures of this property do not do it justice! This the most beautiful place we have ever stayed in. The cabin is immaculate and the Mountain View is incredible. Everything you need is available to cook or grill out. Nice pool table and hot tub on lower level will not disturb upper floor level guest. Only thing that would be nice is few more trash cans but not really a big problem. I would highly recommend this cabin to anyone wanting to visit Gatlinburg!

Great Cabin

Bear watch was a fantastic cabin that our family really enjoyed. The drive up the mountain is a bit sketchy, but totally worth it for the fantastic views and great family space. We will certainly be back.

nice weekend trip

Overall the property was in excellent condition. A negative comment from one couple was the bed seemed old. Not comfortable sleeping. This was in the room that had a tub, not a shower enclosure.

Beautiful cabin

This property was very nice, updated and spacious. There was a lot of construction in the area due to rebuilds from to the 2016 wildfires. We did have a sudden flat tire that had to be replaced. This appeared to be from construction hardware in the street. Hopefully the construction will soon be complete.

Relaxing stay in well appointed very comfortable and spacious house

Everything as advertised. Coffee maker option now includes kurig. Great deck seating and bbq worked good. Close enough to town yet quiet on the bill.

Nicest cabin EVER in Gatlinburg.

This property is pretty new because of the fire a few years back but it looked like it had never been rented. It was immaculate throughout, everything was spotless. Great mountain view. Had eveything we needed. Designed with plenty of space where needed. Great electronics, great kitchen. All I can say is it was perfect. Thanks cabins for you. We are now spoiled and have found pur new mountain home.

Beautiful.... Pictures did it no justice

Upon arrival we had a little issue with the code to get in, but once that was resolved everything was better than advertised. Place was SUPPER SUPPER clean. Everything was updated and well maintenanced. My family and I travel a lot and this is the best place we have ever stayed. Honestly this cabin is not far off a luxury cabin. Other rentals should take notes and lessons from this property because this is what vacation rental should be. A ++ grade

Absolutely beautiful and cozy cabin! Brand new too!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is absolutely gorgeous and cozy. Great location. It is close to downtown Gatlinburg (10-15 minutes), but it is secluded and away from the tourists and noise. It is larger than expected. You could bring sleeping bags for kids and dedicate the downstairs pool room for them. There are three large bedrooms with their own bathrooms. There are TV's in every bedroom and 2 additional TV's in livingroom and poolroom. Beautiful kitchen. It had almost all the equipment we needed for cooking, it does not have a handheld or counter mixer if you are planning to do some extensive cooking. Comfortable beds, enough linen and towels. Bring paper products (tp and paper towels). Enough parking for 4 or 5cars.

Bear Watch Is The Accurate Name For This Cabin

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a new cabin rebuilt within the last two years after the terrible fire in Gatlinburg. Everything worked well and was in great condition. Parking was level and accommodated four or five cars easily. The afternoon of check-in, the management company called us to be sure we would arrive before they closed. That was very thoughtful and avoided a disaster if we had been running late. One day we were sitting on the deck and saw a mama bear and FOUR cubs come out of the brush. After much exploring, they walked down the road within feet of the front door. Access was easy from downtown and the bypass. The only slight negative would be that the density of surrounding cabins was greater than most places we have stayed in Gatlinburg. Still, it was a great place to stay. Would recommend it highly.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Booked house without seeing any interior pictures (they weren't yet on website) and found that the house was beautiful! The roads up to the house are typical mountain roads(steep in some places and you wind your way up). Great view! Furniture is comfortable. Hot tub was great! We had fun playing pool. Would definitely recommend this property!
