My stay here with family was wonderful! We very much enjoyed our New Year stay and loved the warmth and feel of the home, with its Christmas Decorations for the holiday season. The home was very comfortable, very clean and had all that we needed for our 4-night stay. Pots, pans, seasonings, games and more! I also will include that the host is great with communication and very responsive. This was our first time visiting the Bryson City area and I would definitely enjoy another trip/stay here!

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.

Autumn Getaway With Lifelong Friends

This house was one of the best ones we have ever rented on VRBO, and we have rented many over the years. We lacked for nothing. Great location, lots to see and do in the area. Nivea was easy to work with and promptly answered questions. You can't go wrong by renting this property!

The home was beautiful and communication was easy. I wish the living room furniture was more comfortable but the Christmas tree was absolutely stunning and the beds were super comfy and I’m very picky about my beds.

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 :)

Great spring trip to the Smokies

This property was just what we needed as two families on a spring break trip for children. This location was about 30 minutes from the NC entrance to the Smoky Mountains. The game room was great for rainy day entertainment. There were just the right amount of space for our party of 10 people total (4 adults and 6 kids). Nivea was great at communication and very helpful. Thanks for a great trip!
