Family Vacation

We loved our stay at the Bears Wilderness Lodge! The house was exactly as described, offering everything we needed and wanted for our family vacation. The location was peaceful and wasn’t too far from Gatlinburg or the National Park. We had our dogs travel with us….the amount of grass wasn’t plentiful, but they did great when out for a walk. Would stay here again!

My families stay was great. Amanda was a great host and was very accommodating. She always answered back quickly. The cabin had everything we needed and was very clean. It was also close to the main strip in Gatlinburg, which was good. All in all we had a great family trip.

This was an amazing cabin. It smelt clean walking in the door and it over-exceeded all expectations that I had for it. I especially loved how for each bedroom there is a full bathroom. Will definitely be staying at this cabin for all future Smokey mountain trips.

Relaxing Adult trip

We all loved our stay! The cabin just felt like home. We were in town celebrating birthdays, especially the baby of the family who had just turned 21. We all slept great in the super comfy king beds. The owners thought of everything. Every room even had a box fan available for our use, which was appreciated. Would love to stay again in the future! Thanks for a great visit Mark and Amanda ♥️

Wonder Family vacation

The cabin was very clean and decorated upon arrival. We did have uninvited guest that invaded a car. Be sure to lock your doors. The only problem was the parking on a very steep hill. But, you are on a mountain! Location is perfect for whatever you are interested in doing in the area. Check in and check out was very easy. We hope to visit again soon.

Extended family getaway

Great property for multiple households, with multi-levels of bedrooms/bathrooms to accommodate those on different sleeping schedules. Gameroom level was a hit, as were the outdoor decks, for additional room and activities while at the cabin. Perfect location to either drive or grab a trolley into Gatlinburg, and to drive to Pigeon Forge. Hosts were incredibly responsive to any questions and overall communication was excellent.

Christmas in January

The property is very beautiful and well kept. Our visit was our Christmas present to our adult children. A getaway so we could all enjoy some time together as a family for a few days in a row that we do not otherwise have when we are at home. My only wish would have been to have a little bit bigger kitchen, dining and sitting area on main floor to gather. Otherwise each bedroom had an en-suite or was right across from the bedroom. The rooms were comfort and spacious. Any questions I had were but a text away and Amanda was awesome. We also had a White Christmas-it was simply breathtaking! Thank you!

Great weekend getaway spot

The place was as advertised. It’s just far enough away from Gatlinburg, but not too far. Easy ride into town. Great food options on the way to town so you don’t have to always go into the really busy downtown district if you don’t want. The place itself was nestled in with about 20 other cabins. Five king beds with baths was really nice. The basement area was great for family play. Easily handled our ten person party, though it’s a tad smaller than the pictures show. Clean and well kept.

Our home is regularly treated for pest control and cleaned to ensure pesky creatures stay out. However, because our home has great outdoor spaces that lead into the indoor spaces, you may see the occasional pest inside the home from time to time.

We have a security ring camera that records video and audio located on the exterior of the property at the front door entrance.
