Beautiful home with plenty of room for the whole family. Great outdoor area. Lots of seating inside and out. Perfect location to feel private and enjoy the mountain area but also very close to downtown Gatlinburg with soooo much to do in the area. Home was clean and well equipped.

When we arrived we were a bit intimidated by the driveway up. We don’t have hills where we live, but once we conquered that the house was gorgeous. Plenty of space. Looks just like the photos. We were able to have a comfortable vacation with family without being cramped. We would definitely book this again.

Beautiful cabin that had serious problems in my opinion. Including: air conditioner failure, hornet like insects in one bedroom, no steps to enter hot tub, basement TV did not work, outside garbage can down steep hill with bears in vicinity, difficult parking recommend SUV or truck, no ice trays or ice maker, some TVs did not have ROKU access, refrigerator doors did not close securely, and area was not quiet (construction or saw noise, resort or swimming pool noise). Two stars instead of one for the quality of cabin construction and uniqueness of decor.

This cabin is perfect - so pretty and very clean! Exactly as described - no issues with it at all except for the check in process. We were given incorrect code to enter the cabin so that was quite a trial after our 4 hour drive.

About the host

Hosted by Toby Shedd

Host profile image
I love the Smoky Mountains and feel blessed to have actually lived in Gatlinburg. I also love the bay and beach which I currently get to enjoy. I know how important it is to get away as family, as friends, or for a special celebration. Knowing that others get to disconnect and enjoy my cabin in the beautiful Smoky Mountains is so meaningful to me.

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood because it is very quiet, the people are extremely friendly and it is so convenient to Gatlinburg. It is also convenient to the greatest of restaurants, national park hiking, grocery store, Anakeesta, Ober Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the list goes on and on.

What makes this property unique

Staying in Black Bears and Rockin' Chairs is like living in the beautiful secluded hardwood trees with nature all around you as the beautiful black bears frequently stroll through our property. Drinking your early morning coffee or afternoon wine while gazing into the peak of beautiful Mt. Leconte is a memory that last forever!
