First vacation without kids!

We had a good time. The rain and flooding slowed us down a bit so we spent more time at the cabin then we planned on doing but still had a relaxing, fun time.

Great little place

Just the right size for 4 adults. Loved listening to the river and spending time in the hot tub. Was able to walk to the pizza place less than half a mile and it was excellent! It is a pretty steep bank down to the riverto the fiver

Peaceful

Cute historical cabin built originally in the 1800s was transferred to this location next to the river. The kitchen windows and screened in porch were excellent places to watch or sit and listen to the relaxing noise. Loved the location.

Comfy cabin, beautiful setting

We loved this very clean, very comfy cabin right on the beautiful Pigeon River. The back porch is a lovely place to sit and take in the beauty of the river. The owner brought fire wood and fire starters for the fire place, which we enjoyed every evening. The location was an easy walk into downtown Gatlinburg.

Great location and very cozy.

We walked everywhere due to the great location. Being right on the river was a bonus, although we didn’t find time to fish we did get to watch a couple otters catch some fish. It was a little chilly when we went so the hot tub room was a little cold but we made due, would be nice if there was a heater or blinds to pull down over the screened porch area.

Aunt Bug’s Cabin Rental is excellent

We lived in Bear Cabin for five days and it was one of the best cabins we have rented. It is located nearby from the Great Smoky Mountain NP in Gatlinburg and in a beautiful area, with a rapid river running in the back yard. The two bed two bath just fit us two couples well. It’s very clean with nice kitchen we can cook. Our little dog can work around the cabin. We all enjoyed the cabin and the trip.
