Our stay was everything we hoped for!Our family of 14 found the home spacious and comfortable. The kids loved the downstairs bunk room, and the porches were perfect for early risers and night owls. We spent many afternoons at the clubhouse pools, and the location is ideal—close to downtown Gatlinburg and great hiking spots! We even had a family of bears visit! Don’t forget to lock your car doors as we watched them try each car from the safety of the 2nd floor porch.

Great location near Gatlinburg

The property is as listed and worked well for our gathering of 3 generations. There was plenty of room for everyone. The cabin has certainly been well used with many dings noticeable on the trim and flooring that could be addressed.The lighting was a bit dark and there were a few lightbulbs burned out.We saw bears around the house and they tried to get into our vehicles (thankfully we locked our doors).

Amazing cabin

We just spent 3 lovely days in the smoky mountains and this cabin made our trip so memorable. We had a group of 15 people and there were enough beds for everyone to sleep comfortably. We will definitely stay here again! Thank you for making your beautiful home available to us.

Overall lovely place! There was alittle snow from the previous day when we arrived, which was nice. It was a slight challenge for us to find the house initially as we kept turning right when we should have went straight, but overall everyone loved the place.

It was a good time. Property was easy to get too and accomodations were nice. Only complaint is the kids room is on the main entry level of the home which made the adults a little uncomfortable due to all other rooms being on second and third floor. I would stay again

Adequate Vacation Rental

Property exterior needs some TLC. Main upper balcony and furniture was covered in tree debris and railings in areas were rotting , loose and unsafe. Balcony and furniture should have been swept. Floors should have been cleaned better Overall property was adequate for our group, but your cleaning fee is high for what we received. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking utensils except for Forks and Knives for the number of people the house occupies. Location was perfect.

Good but has issues

The house is called "Bear Necessities" for a reason. First the GOOD. Great location! Close to Gatlinburg. Close to tennis courts and pool that were in great condition. Close to Ober Mountain which was a blast. Big enough house for all 13 of us. Outdoor grill and hot tub which the kids loved. Now the BAD. Communication with the owner was very poor. There was no mention of cards in a bowl on the second floor that we were suppose to take to the clubhouse to check in. I found these the day before we left. Luckily, the kid at the clubhouse wrote down my house info and let us in. There are 3 couches that turn into hide-a-beds. Unfortunately, there were NO bedsheets to put on them and we only found two extra pillows in the closets. Luckily, the primary contact in the area brought us sheets. There were only 6 forks in the entire house! For a house that is listed as fitting 16 people, you think there would be more. Again, we were brought extra forks on the third day. There was one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom and NO extra toilet paper anywhere in the house. In addition, the description says that soap and shampoo are provided. Wrong again. No shampoo was there and only tiny hotel room soap packages. In addition, the handle for one of the showers was broken! It was nearly impossible to set the temperature. Overall this is a good house but could use some improvements and better costumer service.

Love how close the home is to gatlingburg and yet you still have some privacy. We had a few issues with most of the sinks/showers dripping water. And also you can hear it dripping in the fireplace when it rains. So if that kind of stuff makes your skin crawl… pick somewhere else. A few of the stairs were broken and the kids caught their toes on them a few times. Otherwise we had a great experience.
