There are 3 exterior security cameras located outside, 2 cameras are focused on the driveway and one is on the front porch entrance Easy Bear Lodge Quirks: In Easy Bear Cabin, you might occasionally get a whiff of sulfur in the air—don’t worry, it’s just the well water reminding you it’s real rustic around here. But fear not! Our water supply is filtered through a whole-house filter to keep things nice and fresh. Plus, we’ve added two extra filters to the fridge and kitchen sink to make sure your water is as clean as a bear’s conscience after washing its paws. Now, about the fridge—it can get a little noisy, kind of like it’s humming along to its own personal concert. And the hot tub? It likes to turn on at random intervals, giving you a fun surprise hum in the night, just to keep you on your toes. And don’t be alarmed if you hear a small thud or bang when the water’s running through any taps—it’s just the pressure tank getting to work, pulling water from the well. It happens when you use the sink, shower, washer, or basically any water source that doesn’t have a secret stash of water under the floorboards. Oh, and twice a week, the whole-house filter does its deep cleaning thing at midnight (because nothing says “clean” like late-night maintenance). It takes about 30 minutes, so don’t be surprised if you hear a little noise—it’s just the filter getting its spa treatment. Enjoy the rustic charm! The hot tub at Easy Bear Lodge is thoroughly drained, cleaned, sanitized, and the water is carefully balanced after each guest's stay. Additionally, the water is filtered three times—first through a whole-house filtration system, through a hose filter during refilling, and the hot tub filter. As the property uses well water, which naturally contains iron, there may occasionally be a light discoloration in the hut tub. This is a cosmetic effect and does not indicate unclean water. Rest assured, the hot tub is properly maintained and safe for use.

This was our second stay here because we loved it so much the first time! Still a great place, however it was not very clean and the hot tub was empty. We still made the best of it, and had plenty of fun!

The cabin was everything that was advertised. Jane was great to work with, and very accommodating with allowing an early check in as we arrived earlier that expected.

This was a beautiful location. Very quiet and relaxing. Loved the hot tub and fire pit. Everything that we needed and more. Wonderful that it wasn't in a condo with other people and you had a residence by yourself. Would love to go back again.

Property was great. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Host was very responsive. We enjoyed our whole stay and will definitely book there again in the future.
We only stayed at this property for two nights as we were passing through. The home was comfortable and we enjoyed the outside space. We did not use the kitchen, but did enjoy the game room and hot tub area.

The cabin was just as pictured in the listing but at the same time, better than expected. It was perfect for our short getaway. The owner is very prompt with communication and very friendly. I would definitely recommend others.

We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed your stay at Easy Bear Lodge! We strive to make every guest’s experience pleasant and relaxing. It would be our pleasure to host you again in the future.
Property owner contacted is quickly after reserving the cabin to provide information. Property was in great condition, clean, and contained everything you should need while staying there. The man cave/game room made me jealous that I don't have that set up at house. The one maintenance item that popped up on Monday morning was completely taken care of and spotlessly cleaned up by Monday afternoon. Glad we picked this cabin for our 39th anniversary, will be looking forward to it on our 40th.

So glad you enjoyed your anniversary at Easy Bear Lodge. We look forward to hosting you on your 40th or any special celebration.
We (5 moms) wanted a quiet stay in a cabin away from all of the everyday life. We hit up the grocery on our way to the cabin and didn’t leave the whole weekend. The beds were super comfortable! The bathrooms were clean and stocked to the brim. The den was AMAZING!! We enjoyed the hot tub in the screened in porch. The host was very pleasant and extremely attentive. Anytime we had any questions she was very quick to respond. We will absolutely be staying again! Thank you again Jane, the experience was amazing!

Thank you forcstaying at Easy Bear Lodge we would be happy to host you again.
We had an amazing stay at the Easy Bear Lodge! We didn't do much cooking here, but the kitchen had everything needed. One of my kids forgot their toothbrush and we picked one up at Buc-ee's on the way in. It turns out that wouldn't have been necessary as they had baskets in the bathroom with toothbrushes and feminine products. They had ample supplies of toilet paper and paper towels. They even had bath products in the showers and soaps by the sinks. It certainly was the best stocked place I've ever seen! The hot tub was smaller than we realized (probably for 2-3 people) but was still fine for us, and felt amazing! The master bedroom had stars on the ceiling that would glow at night, and it was such a small touch but honestly one of my favorite things about the place. We all also loved the separate game room, especially the kids. I (mom) took advantage of taking a nap in the cabin a time or two while the kids and dad played games and used electronics out there. And we all had a family movie night on the 75" TV. They loved having unlimited access to an air hockey table and we all enjoyed playing Tapple together. The only things we didn't like were the driveway, where we scraped the bottom of our vehicle every time, and the person coming to our door at 11:30PM (who we found out the next AM was a neighbor looking for a package delivered to the wrong place, but it terrified us! FYI - they would prefer their package left out to the elements) We would definitely stay here again!

We’re so glad you enjoyed your stay at Easy Bear Lodge! While the driveway can be a bit challenging for some vehicles, many guests find it quite “bearable” compared to others in the area on Easy Street.
We understand your concern regarding the package. Our neighbor did reach out to us, but unfortunately, we weren’t aware she had already picked it up before we contacted you. We will follow up with her and kindly ask that she is more respectful of our guests’ space to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
Thank you for staying with us at Easy Bear Lodge—we truly hope to host you again soon
We had a wonderful stay at this cabin in the Smoky Mountains. The location was excellent—close enough to attractions and activities, yet peaceful and relaxing when it was time to unwind.What really stood out was how much thought the owner put into the guest experience. There were so many small touches throughout the cabin that made our stay more comfortable and enjoyable. It’s clear the owner has taken the time to think about what guests might need and has gone above and beyond to provide it.The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well-maintained, and the combination of the great location and attention to detail made this one of our favorite places to stay. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting the Smoky Mountains.
