Warm and cozy cabin. Perfect for our family. We had six of us and two dogs. The walkway to the front door was steeper than we realized, so isn’t the easiest for elderly. Also, the drive there was pretty steep. Only struggled on the road once when the roads were wet. We did not need 4-wheel drive. We saw a couple of bears at the cabin and a lot of turkeys in the fields leading up to Shagbark. Very peaceful stay and would definitely recommend and/or stay again.

Great time in our mountain retreat

We enjoyed our stay. We were within 30is minutes of Dollywood, Pigen Forge, etc. The location was nice and private, and even saw a bear! Prepare yourself for the narrow and winding road though.

Lovely cabin in the mountains

We had a great time at Bear's Hideaway. The cabin is lovely and super clean. It is located up in the mountains, so it did take me a couple of days to become acclimated to the road, but it is only a short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg attractions. The kiddos loved the hot tub and playing pool in the loft. The cabin had everything we needed and the wifi was great.

Family Vacation in the Smokies

My family and I rented this cabin for our annual family vacation. The check in process was smooth; everything, including the hot tub, was clean and ready to go when we arrived. Speaking with the hosts was easy. The incline up to the cabin after checking in with security was a little steeper than we expected from reading other reviews so just a little side note for those reading this one! Overall a VERY pleasant experience. Thank you to the Qualls

Cathy's cabins

The cabin was beautiful and clean. The first night we stayed had four bears walking around the cabin. Did not bother us one bit. I gave 4 stars for cleanliness because the community pool had lots of debris the four days we stayed and it was never cleaned out. Did not stop my kids from having fun. Roads to the cabin are paved and not to steep. Great place to stay.

FamilyMoon

We just got married and wanted a place to celebrate the blending of our families. This was the perfect spot. Very central to trails, pigeon forge and gatlinburg. The only cons I can think of our the drive up the hill to the cabin, that was crazy!! And I know it’s a pet friendly cabin and I am a huge pet lover but our bedding smelled like wet dog. Other then that we loved everything

Being in the mountains the drive in the foothills of the Smoky Mt takes getting use to. I would have changed out your linens if you had called. Contact numbers are on the welcome letter and in the cabin notebook. The telephone in the cabin works.

Family vacay 2022

We have been to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge several times and always rent a cabin. We thoroughly enjoyed staying at Bears Hideaway, There were 6 of us including a teen, 3 year old and 4 adults and we had plenty of room. The owners were very responsive to a few hiccups at check in that were totally my fault. That was very much appreciated. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed and we even got a chance to enjoy the hot tub. Did not see any bears but did see some wild turkeys. Would recommend this cabin to anyone looking to get away from the hustle and bustle and experience the peace and quiet of being in the Great Smokies.

Wonderful Stay

This cabin was perfect for my 3 children and myself. The rooms seemed to be pretty soundproof. I never heard my kids walking around, playing music, playing games, or anything once I laid down. The beds were comfy, AND I was happy to see a fan, in the closet, I could use. It was steep getting there, but my little car did the job. The night before our last one there we were actually on the porch when a bear came up and tried to get into the trash. Thankfully we followed the rules and had that locked, AND my vehicle locked. It was nice watching him from a distance as he couldn't get in the trash he strolled back down the driveway, and we could watch him stroll on down the road. We would definitely stay again.

The Shagbark community has more than it's share of bears. Thankfully black bears are not aggressive and interesting to watch from a distance. We found the real log houses to be great family places. So glad you enjoyed your stay!

Cabin Retreat

Overall, the cabin had what we needed. It could use a few updates, but we had plenty of room for 3 adults and a toddler. Deck and outdoor table were a little dirty upon arrival. Best advice (a note left by a previous guest in the welcome binder), turn RIGHT out of the drive way when leaving and coming back. GPS will tell you to take a shorter route, but it is VERY steep. Be careful driving to/ from the cabin at night. We drove from Arkansas and arrived about 30 minutes early to the entrance. They will not let you in early, so just be aware they will make you wait outside the gate until it is exactly 4pm. It does say that check-in is at 4pm on the instructions, but I had reached out to the owner prior to and she did not respond. Our fault for arriving slightly early, I suppose. We had a lot of fun playing pool and board games provided in the cabin. The hot tub and fire pit were a nice touch. It is secluded from town, but once out of Shagbark, a short drive to Pigeon Forge. Overall, a decent stay.

On top is the mountain!

Overall it was a good stay. The cabin is very dated. And could use upgrades. Also- it is at the very top of the Mtn. So If steep roads intimidate u- don’t stay here. We loved it! And it snowed. But the road was quickly cleared. The back bedroom stayed very cold- despite having the heat on. Maybe another heater available. Kids enjoyed the loft very much!
