GUEST ACCESS:

- The day before your arrival we will message you with check-in details. We are happy to offer you Contact-less, Keyless check-in. Code is changed after check-out.

- The cabin is tucked away on a one-lane mountain road, about a half mile from Wears Valley Road/US Route 321—a true mountain retreat experience. The road includes a paved tight turn in the beginning of your drive, and the driveway has a gradual incline with a short, rugged stretch. Most of it is paved, but there is a small gravel section. While we’ve driven up many times in a standard car, minivan, and SUV without issue, a vehicle with a little extra clearance will be needed for those bumpy spots.

- Parking available for 3 cars MAX, though it is NOT motorcycle/trailer/camper friendly.

We really enjoyed our stay! The hosts, Vern and Hana, were very nice and very accommodating. Our family of 6 had plenty of room to stretch out and relax; and there were plenty of fun activities to keep us entertained as we made precious memories together! A great stay, at a great place, for a great price!

Cabin was great. Good location - close enough to town but still secluded enough to feel like you were in the mountains. Cabin was stocked perfectly and the kitchen set up was very well thought out. Bedrooms were clean and cozy. Beds were very comfie! Bathroooms were very well lit and super clean as well. Host was very quick to communicate before and after check in. 5 outta 5 on the communication!!Beware of the road - large pot holes, would probably be best to have a large truck or 4 x 4. Not a deterrent just an FYI. Would rent again!!

Cabin was great and amenities as described, didn’t get to spend as much time as we thought at the cabin as we ended up doing more in surrounding areas. Only complaint is the road to get in is a bit rough and tight, we did fine with a large SUV, but did get some light scratching from branches along side of car in a couple of spots, also had a few potholes from the recent rain and wash out. A small car following us (that ended up in a cabin a couple over), struggled a lot and couldn’t even make it up that driveway and just parked at roadway. Would just recommend having suv or truck

Cabin was great

Our family of 6 enjoyed our stay at the Dancing Bear cabin. House was clean and served us well. The roads leading to the cabin were a bit rough but that’s to be expected when staying in the mountains. Relaxing on the porch was my favorite. Even had a bear visitor our first night. The kids enjoyed the game room. The master bedroom view was really nice. Location was convenient to all the attractions.

This cabin was more than expected. When looking for places to stay for our visit I wanted a place that was not part of a sprawling community of cabins. It was perfect, on a nice quite road off of the "beaten path" wooded hillside, secluded and peaceful. The cabin had all the amenities as described by the owner and than some. I am not a chef but if I was I would have been pleased with all the utensils provided in the Kitchen. The extra bedding, quilts, pillows and air mattresses were other items you just don't get with some rentals. We enjoyed our quiet mornings and evenings and really enjoyed the mother Bear and her 2 cubs that were foraging on the road just outside of the cabin. Made my daughters trip. Overall the cabin was very clean, the owners very attentive and were available anytime you needed to communicate with a quick answer. They do care and want your stay to be fun, relaxing and enjoyable. We will definitely want to stay here again.

Great Cabin!

The cabin is great, our family of 5 was very comfortable and had a great time. Plenty of things to do…indoor and outdoor games, hot tub. Very clean and you can tell a lot of thought went into every detail. Only thing we wish we would have know was to expect the difficulty of getting to and from the cabin. Being in the wooded mountains was great, but the road leading to the property was pretty rough and it did make it so we had to plan our days to only come and go once since we were not sure how our minivan’s tires would hold up. Ultimately, a great, clean, and fun cabin experience, just not sure we would rebook due to the road getting to it.

A great Hideaway!

My family of 4 had a great time staying at this hideaway in the Smokies. The cabin was very comfortable and clean. Even though we were a few miles from Pigeon Forge, it was a nice drive to town. It was also a great location to access the National Park , Cade's Cove and Gatlinburg. We would recommend this cabin if you want a place to relax after a day in Pigeon Forge.
