The cabin was clean and as advertised. The layout of the cabin was neat and there is plenty of space to relax by yourself or get together for a game or meals.
The Hot tub worked well and was awesome for relaxing and warming up after a COLD day!

We're so happy that everything went so well during the coldest storm we've had in a long time! Can't get much better than that hot tub after being cold after a long day! Thank you for the great review!
Cabin was great for us. We traveled with teens and a toddler. The down stairs was a great hang out for the older kids. Cabin has everything you need with luxeries like pool access, hot tub etc that we appreciated but not overly fancy or expensive. Air conditioning worked GREAT for all three levels which we were so thankful for in the July heat and humidity. And we also took advantage of thr free attraction tickets.

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review! I’m so glad the cabin worked well for your whole family — from the teens to the toddler — and that everyone had space to relax and enjoy. It’s great to hear the A/C kept you comfortable in that July heat and that the free attraction tickets came in handy! I’d be happy to host you all again anytime!
Well first the property sits directly in the middle of everything, easy access. So roomy and just a place I will definitely book again. The pool is directly access the way and the jacuzzi located in the property was absolutely ideal for privacy and just made relaxing so much better. Thank you I will book again

Happy to hear y'all had a wonderful experience at Sleepy Bears Den. We do have a great location here, being so close to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge. We are also right across from the outdoor pool :)
We look forward to hosting you and your family on your next getaway to the Smokies :)
This was our first time staying in a cabin here. We loved it! The cabin was nicely decorated for the holidays and kept up. We had everything we needed and truly enjoyed our stay. It was so noce to have a hot tub to enjoy in the evenings after a busy day. Thank you!

We're so glad to hear you had such a wonderful time! Not much better than a hot tub at the end of a day full of activities in the Smokies! Thank you for your review!
Very roomy . Loved the three bathrooms . Hot tub was very nice , indoor pool was cooled. Great location. Master bed was very soft , not a fan but some people like soft beds . Would stay again .

We're so happy you had a lovely time! We agree, the location is fantastic! Feels secluded while also being close to all the fun!
The cabin was perfect. It was very accessible to us and easy to get back in town to do al the activities.
We did leave 2 hats there by mistake. We are still in town if there’s anyway to get them back?

We take all items left behind to UPS for you to receive your items back. Glad y'all had a great time at Sleepy Bears Den. Thanks again for staying with us.
Our stay was good my only concerns were the blinds in the living room were broken and in a few spots you could see right into the cabin also they were no dish towels or cloths in the kitchen. Also the chair in the living room was broken so we didn’t use it.

We're so glad your stay was so wonderful overall! We'll have our cleaning team look at the blinds and make sure to get the dish towels in there! The chair is currently waiting reconstruction, so it'll be fixed up soon! Thank you for the review!

There were many things that made our stay uncomfortable! We contacted the person in charge and he acknowledged all of our concerns but really didn’t do anything to make it better except offer some free tickets

While we did our best to respond to your concerns promptly, we understand that our efforts may not have met your expectations. Your experience is important to us, and we’ll be using your feedback to improve moving forward. We appreciate you giving us the opportunity to host you.
We had a wonderful time at Sleepy Bears Den! The location was perfect and the team was so easy to work with. There was great communication before and throughout our stay. The hot tub was wonderful, really enjoyed it! The cabin was a little tired though….. it needs some attention. The ceiling fan was a little whompy in the LV and the bedroom fan did not work at all. We could not seem to keep the main fireplace running even after they came and got it working once. The pilot light keeping going out? The furniture was wobbly and the kitchen table top was not even bolted to the base. It almost flipped over as someone stood up and used the table for security. I think Sleepy Bears Den has just been so popular the owners haven’t had the time to get these items corrected. We did have a wonderful time in Pigeon Forge and in no way did those things affect it. They just need to be fixed.
Hot tube needed chlorine. It smelled like musty moldy in the room and on you when you get out. Other than that it was great.
