It was perfect for our women's getaway. Beds were comfortable and the location was awesome. The only thing negative would be there was not a skillet in the kitchen, otherwise it was great.Communication was awesome. Will definitely stay here in the future.

The decor was so inviting and comfortable. We had plenty of room; yet, enjoyed family time.

Response from VrboOwner on 13 August 2025
Thank you for the great review. We hope your team did well during the tournament. We are glad you had a wonderful stay and look forward to your next stay with us.
Booked this on a short notice and could not have been happier. Amazing place especially for the price, it was a lot nicer than i imagined. Highly recommend staying here if you want a trip with your family. Huge rooms, 3 king beds and each room had their own bathroom. Perfect with teenagers and adults! I would stay here again just for the bed size and bathrooms!

Reviewer Comments:
Loved it! Each bedroom had a king size bed, which was a priority for us.
We were in town for a car show and this condo was the perfect size and a fantastic location. Three couples, it is a 3bedroom, 3 bath condo with plenty of comfortable seating and nice view from both patios. The property managers were easy to work with and even called to see how things were going. Would 100% recommend!

We truly appreciate your recommendation and would love to welcome you all back anytime!
The property was perfect for our needs except the pool. The pool was very small & had a lot of algae so we didn’t use it. The condo itself was absolutely wonderful!

Thank you for your feedback! We’re delighted to hear that the condo was perfect for your needs and that you enjoyed your stay overall.
We sincerely apologize for the issues you encountered with the pool. We’ve contacted the HOA maintenance team for the resort to address the concerns about the pool’s size and algae. Ensuring that all amenities are in top condition is a priority for us, and we appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
We hope to have the chance to host you again and provide an even better experience. If there’s anything specific you need for your next visit, please let us know!
We did have a problem with the the way the TV is set up, but we managed. The furniture is okay but not very comfortable. Overall the condo is very good. We enjoyed our stay there.

Reviewer Comments:
We've stayed here before, six of us, and we like the fact that all three bedrooms have king size beds (very important). Location is great, also. BUT, it definitely needs more towels (we found ourselves washing towels every day just so we can have a clean set each night), and there needs to be a night stand on the side of each bed. Other than that, we'll stay here again and I highly recommend. There's not much of a pool, so keep that in mind if you have kids.
Response from VrboOwner on 3 June 2025
Thank you for your great review. So glad you enjoy the king size beds. Definitely a plus when staying with us! We really appreciate your feedback and I will pass your suggestions on to the owner. We hope to see you again in the future!

The property was nice needed a few improvements, but overall it was nice There was a dent in one of the walls when you come in there were no skillets to cook with And we needed it at least one more towel eachThe beds were comfortable The location was great but we never seen any management the whole time we were there and we didn’t get our free tickets. I was told we would get.
Response from VrboOwner on 23 July 2024
Good morning,
We will definitely get more cookware in the unit. This unit is actually getting a remodel this coming winter, consisting of new flooring and a new kitchen, and countertops. As far as the tickets the link to those are in your email that you received on July 5, 2024 at 10:28 am. There is a link that you click for digital tickets. It shows you opened and signed the paperwork that had that information in it. As far as not seeing management, we do not have an onsite office, but are available by phone 24/7. We have had several communications with you prior to your stay and even this morning, thru webchat. We hope you stay with us again and wish you safe travels home.
Bear Crossing was our hub for all of our activities, Dollywood, Splash Country, Pirates Voyage, mini golf dinner with friends at their cabin further up the mountain and mainly the Leconte Convention Center.
Our place was clean and felt safe. Having multiple bathrooms was great. The pool is very small on the property so if pool time is your jam, this may not be the place for you.
To have a kitchen and our own rooms and space to spread out and a central location was key for us.
Needs a frying pan, but we made out ok without one. Our pancakes were a fail but that may be the cook and not the lack of a pan :)

Thank you for your detailed feedback! We’re delighted to hear that Bear Crossing served as a great hub for your activities and that you found the place clean and safe. It’s wonderful that the multiple bathrooms and spacious layout worked well for your group.
We appreciate your note about the pool size and the need for a frying pan. We’ll certainly look into providing additional kitchen amenities to improve the experience for future guests. And don’t worry—pancakes can be tricky, with or without the right pan!
We hope the rest of your trip was a success and look forward to the opportunity to host you again. If there’s anything specific you need for your next stay, just let us know!

Nice accommodations. Needs some TLC. Damage to wall still there(stayed here for the last several years). Appliances showing wear but new refrigerator was a plus. Exterior lights were not on @ 8 pm Sept. 28. Trees need trimming, cannot see exiting stop sign. Limbs hitting vehicle.
Response from VrboOwner on 2 October 2024
HI Lydia, thank you for staying with us again! Good News - this unit is getting a complete makeover this November so it will be like a brand new place the next time you visit with us. As for the exterior lights and trees - we will contact that property's hoa and let them know of your comments so they can be addressed. Thank you again for vacationing with us! We appreciate you and your business.
My sisters and I (3 of us) arrived Monday at 4 PM, traffic was heavy. The place was easy to find. We parked under covering dedicated to "our" condo. The house was clean, smelled nice and was nice and warm. We enjoyed it very much. left on Oct. 17. I contacted managers twice, once for wifi (did not need a password) and second to inquire if we could leave our car in the parking lot since checkout was at 10a and conference over at 12. Permission granted. Nice beds, TV's in every room, nice balcony with nice chairs. Fireplace nice to look at but we could not figure out how to use it. Jacuzzi in front bedroom was used, nice. Want to come back.
