Thank you so much for your review! We’re thrilled you found Cub Path Lodge spotless and enjoyed the layout. We’re glad our communication helped make your stay smooth and would love to host you again anytime! 🏡✨
It was a beautiful cabin and very close to town. They would need to update the tv in living room, but that’s no big issue. Only thing was they never came dump our trash and we had to leave it in the cabin. They need bigger trash cans for outside for a cabin that host 14 people. Also they did have a bear to get in our car. So remember to lock your doors!!

Thank you for sharing your experience at Cub Path Lodge! We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the beautiful cabin and appreciated the convenient location close to town.
We also appreciate your feedback regarding the living room TV and trash service. We will look into updating the TV and reviewing our trash pickup procedures, as well as evaluating the outdoor bin size to better accommodate larger groups. Your comments are very helpful as we continue improving the guest experience.
We’re sorry for the inconvenience you experienced during your stay, and we also appreciate you noting the bear activity—being in the Smoky Mountains, wildlife encounters can happen, and we always encourage guests to keep vehicles and doors securely locked.
Thank you again for staying with us. We hope to have the opportunity to host you again in the future!
My family and I really enjoyed our time at Cub Path Lodge. The check in/check out process was very easy, great communication with the host Brittany at Bliss Vacations, and the cabin was spotless upon arrival. The pictures are accurate of the cabin and we were able to park six vehicles as we traveled from FL, IL, GA etc. We were a group of 12 (10 adults, 1 teenager, 1 toddler) and the cabin fit us comfortably. We enjoyed the amenities of the game room, hot tub, etc. A huge bear even came right up to the cabin deck (by the hot tub) during the day and at night looking for food, make sure your car doors are locked - so that was cool to experience up close! As other reviews say, the cabin stock is limited on utensils, paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags etc, especially for large groups. Because I was aware of this when booking, we just made sure to bring extra stuff with us such as paper plates, plastic utensils, laundry detergent, extra paper towels and toilet paper, shampoo etc. There is a Food City grocery store about a mile away which was very convenient to grab food for the cabin and charcoal for the grill and anything else you may need! Overall, would recommend this cabin to anyone!

Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled that Cub Path Lodge provided a comfortable and memorable stay for your large group and that you enjoyed the game room, hot tub, and even the up-close bear sighting—what a story! We appreciate your understanding about the stocked supplies and are glad the nearby grocery made things convenient. It means a lot that you’d recommend the cabin, and we’d love to welcome you and your family back anytime! 🏡✨🐻
The house was great overall as the setup with 2 master suites on the main living area were ideal for 2 families or if you had older parents traveling with you. 3 additional bedrooms for kids meant everyone had their own areas.Communication with the host was quick and easy. They took care of any questions or issues that we had.The game room was a huge hit with the kids and we all enjoyed the hot tub.It was really great to see huge black bears up close as they mad their rounds each morning and evening looking for food and open trash cans.A local grocery store is within 10 minutes of the property which was very nice.The community pool is not heated which is unfortunate for late summer.Our biggest complaints would be the lack of assumed home items included with the rental. For instance, there is a single set of silverware which includes maybe 4 forks and spoons. We didn't have enough silverware the first meal. We ended up buying plastic silverware. Also, there are no real kitchen knives provided, only steak knives. This makes cooking difficult and limits your options for menu items.Additionally, there was very few toilet paper rolls, no real trash bags and no hand soap at the sinks.We'd definitely go back. The house was great. You should definitely stay here, but be aware of these missing items and come prepared to better enhance your stay.
