Wonderful stay

Our stay at the property was excellent. Nivea the property manager was great at communicating during the check in process. The house was spotless. We enjoyed our stay very much and would book again when we stay in that area again.

Comfortable home, convenient to town with beautiful views

My husband and I were looking for a home that was close to the Polar Express. We’re so glad we chose The Bear Necessities. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room and we all enjoyed the game room. The yard gave us some privacy and we were close to town. Would definitely stay again :)

Wonderful stay

Our family was in town for the Polar Express which is about a 15 minute drive. Very secluded home in gated community- loved location and the beautiful landscape. Very clean and loved that it was decorated for Christmas! We had a wonderful time!

Peaceful, Relaxing Home!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Necessities! It was clean & comfortable. My 4 young kids loves the bunk and game room. The property is also fun for exploring during a day of rest at the house. It is also close to many day trips to local attractions in the Smoky Mountain area.
