Family vacation

We loved this property and our vacation in Tennessee. The house is located to easily reach all the major activities in the area but nestled back in a beautiful area with Mountain View’s and beautiful scenery. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. We had a great family trip and hope to return again!

Great Location! Awesome Cabin!

Perfect cabin for my daughter's first vacation to Tennessee and she loved it! Awesome views out of the large picture windows. Morning coffee in the rocking chairs on the deck was relaxing. Host was very communicative, and the guidebook had lots of good recommendations for the area. The cabin was well stocked and clean. Check in and check out were easy and seamless. Would definitely stay again!

Stayed at our property for a week and enjoyed everyday here. House is beautiful but view not so great, but that is what getting out and driving does. We saw 9 bears in 2 days at Capes Cove Loop. Again thank you for letting us stay.

A comfortable place for the whole family!

We enjoyed our stay at the Smoky Mountain cabin. Our goal was to have a place for our families to enjoy together, with plenty of space for all and provide leisure for all ages. The rooms were spacious and clean with plenty of bathrooms :). We spent the days being out at Dollywood and seeing sights so coming back in the evenings it was good to make use of the hot tub, sauna and games room. Our hosts were very communicative and all was in order and as described in the profile. Thanks for a great stay.

Relaxing Cabin

The cabin was very clean and stocked well above what we expected. It was in a great location, very quiet and beautiful views. We loved just playing games and hanging out at the cabin—a great place to relax and recharge. And when we chose to go out, it was not too far of a drive to our activities. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Weekend Getaway

We rented this cabin for a weekend trip with my family, brother’s family, and the grandparents. It was very spacious but still cozy, spotless, and in a great location. We had 2 day passes to Dollywood and it was about 20 min to the park and other destinations on Parkway. It was only 4 miles from the Applewood restaurant and Apple Barn shop, so we had breakfast there on the way out. Not so far up the mountain it was a chore to get to, but still far enough away to feel cabin-y with good views of wooded area from the back windows. Very pleased with our experience!

Incredible cabin and owner

We had an excellent quick stay at the Bear Essentials cabin. You can tell the owner loves and maintains the cabin well. So many sweet touches. Our kids loved all the bears in all the decor. We stayed while visiting for a Tennessee football game and it was the *perfect* choice- a 30 min hassle free drive into campus and was able to park cheap and easily on Chapman hwy to avoid all the traffic post game. Not only was our stay great, but the owner was able to find and mail back a beloved stuffed animal we left behind. I cannot recommend enough. We will be back!
