Great Getaway!

We stayed 3 nights at the Little Bear Cottage for spring break. The cottage was the perfect size for a family of 5. Our kids loved playing in the creek and going in the hot tub. The cabin is close to town, we were able to walk to Ole Red’s with 3 kids. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was well stocked.

Comfortable stay, private but close to activities

Communication with property manager was good, addressed questions quickly. Was close enough to all the things we wanted to do but had enough space to spread out with two teenagers. Hot tub was a big benefit after long days of walking.

we had a great time in Gatlinburg with our family of 3 - perfect location & close to the strip, but not too close. also - close to some other great restaurants and things to do. the cabin was super clean & exactly as mentioned online. We had an issue with the hot tub the first night & texted the number and they got back with us right away to help us fix the issue.
