About this cabin rental

We try to make our home feel like home away from home, rustic but very homey. We try to supply everything you will need except your food and clothes. We don't want you to have to worry about bringing everything under the sun. We provide detergent for both washer and dishwasher, spices, trash bags, etc. Our home has 5 bedrooms, 2 full baths. Two bedrooms upstairs where living and kitchen area's are with a full bath, both queen size beds with flat screen tvs's. Large stone fireplace. Downstairs has a full bathroom, two bedrooms with queen size beds and one with two twin beds. Separate laundry room also downstairs. We have a deck overlooking the woods with a dining set that seats 6, an electric grill and a 5 person hot tub. We tend to have a lot of bears to see from the deck. Parking for 6 cars. All brand new appliances, new recliners, flat screens in all bedrooms and unlimited wifi. We are very close to Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort, which does make it a bit steep getting to our cabin, but it is a beautiful drive. We are 7 minutes from downtown and the entrance to the Smoky Mountains National Park. Both levels have entrances to eliminate the extra steps for people who have trouble with them. We have tons of new upgrades and are always doing more, the entire house has new flooring, master bedroom has a new bedroom set also. We are an actual vacation rental by owner, no middle man. I personally answer any and all questions via my personal cell or email. We hope you will rent from us and treat our home like it was your own. We know you'll want to stay again. In the winter months it is advisable to have a four wheel drive we are located in the city limits where the roads are maintained and salted but with unpredictable whether we can’t guarantee that you’ll be able to get there in those months. We have a slight Mountain View From the cabin it’s more wooded but the view is almost everywhere you look while driving to and from the cabin. We do have a 5 night minimum over Thanksgiving, Christmas and 4th of July. Minimum age to rent is 25. SLEEPS 10 people. DUE TO PAST GUESTS AND CARPET NEEDING REPLACED WE ABSOLUTELY DO NOT ALLOW PETS AND WE HAVE A RING DOORBELL TO CHECK GUESTS UPON ARRIVAL.

When we first arrived we were not impressed with the parking. 2 of the parking areas are right beside the road. One is as you top a hill and go around a a turn. Too close to the road for comfort. The when you open the front door if you are not careful you could walk right into the stairway to the basement. The internet wasnt working and when they did get it working the wifi still did not work. The stairs from the lower parking area to the front pourch are narrow with vines growing on them and a rough splintery rail. The stairs going to the upper parking area seem to be newer but the rail again is old and splintery with no midway support so it is wobbly. There are air conditioner units in the kitchen and livingroom and ine bedroom upstairs. Nothing downstairs and it was hot even witb the ceiling fan and free standing fan. There are also no closets or dressers or chests downstairs and not enough room to leave suitcases open on the floors.Even with the internet working, none of the downstairs TVs could connect it. So only one TV really was able to be used. The place was clean enough and it was eaay to contact the host. We didnt use the hot tub but it seemed to be in good working order and clean.

The house was nice and cozy. The balcony had a lot of spiders but over all it was a nice trip. It was fun looking at the bears

The cabin was exactly as oictured!! 2 floors, 2 bedrooms and a bath on main floor, and 3 bedrooms and bath on downstairs floor. Hot tub was clean and workinh propely. Enough patking for 5 cars. Cabins is on the side of a mountain, so roads are narrow and steep, so be aware! The bears seemed to appear around dinner time. We had a great time!!

Excellent cabin and everything just as described. We were blessed to have an up close experience with a curious bear our second night. Highly recommend this spot.

We had three generations on this trip and the house was perfect. But do heed the warnings of locking cat doors, our neighbors didn’t and they hadn’t been there 30minutes and a bear was in their vehicle. The bear came over to our cabin and looked inside our truck but didn’t scratch it or anything. Our trip was a great relaxing time with family

The home was perfect size for the whole family to be comfortable. Did not realize how high up the mountain it was located. So did not make to many trips to and from the cabin a day. Wasnt a fan of the small roads lol. Seen momma and baby bear a few times. They loved my daughters car tried to get in several times. The ended up in my sons back seat the day we were packing to leave. That was a trip. We did a lot of adventures zip line, water rafting, atvs, skyland and a lot of restaurants a.wasnt at cabin to much but it was very nice place

We enjoyed our stay soo much! it was exactly what the property was described as. We encountered multiple bears, every single day. The last day we did have to call the police to scare the bears off so we can leave. They came quickly. Bears can climb quickly! even up those tiny wooden beams . the AC worked great, we did use the laundry which was great also. my kids loved the hot tub, we didnt use it on day 5,6,7 tho. We will be definetly be booking this cabin again!

This was a great cabin. It had a lot of bedrooms and was very clean. It was very peaceful outside and nice to sit on the balcony. If you sit outside at the right times you will see at least one bear.

It was a girls trip. We loved the stay. The owner was quick to reply to my messages. When seen a bear every day. Their was plenty of room for 8 of us. The kitchen had everything we need.

8.0 / 10.0

Great getaway location to meet up with friends. Excellent to see bears. We saw 4 around the cabin. None were aggressive. Watched them from the balcony. The AC isn’t really much for cooling off the entire house. It got a little muggy at times, but it cooled off outside in the evenings so it was fine for sleeping. Not sure it would keep up with the heat in July and Aug, but there in the mountains it may be fine. Shady location so that helps. Hot tub was relaxing the one night we used it. Holds 4 comfortably. We had 6 in our party and the house sleeps that many comfortably. The kitchen is an open design so it works well for social interaction while cooking. The deck/balcony was great for socializing as well.

This was our first time visiting during the Winter. We must say it was an absolute enjoy the entire week. We were greeted with 8 Bears on our 4th Day. Watching the cubs play and climb trees had to be the highlight of the trip. It was a beautiful time and a beautiful place. The cabin was perfect and the fire place was a blessing. We look forward to visiting again next year. I highly recommend this cabin and area. It is a very short drive to Gatlinburg and the scenery is pleasant.

Our trip to Italy fell through, Gatlinburg was within driving distance for all of us as an alternative. The hairpin turns on steep roads were a challenge but we managed. Dinners were at the cabin and our days were spent exploring. Fun trip.

We booked this property for a sibling get away. We arrived on Saturday and left the following Saturday. We had an amazing time and seen multiple Bears everyday. The peoperty was quiet and comfortable. We spent the entire week together on the balcony watching the bears and only left the house once to go to the store and once for Dinner. The owner was quick to respond to any questions or concerns. Check in was very easy. I would definitely book this property again.

Great home for my family of 10. We all loved watching the bears and hanging out on the porch. Wendy was a pleasure to work with and very responsive. Looking forward to our next visit. For some reason, the bears really liked the back of my truck.

We stayed six nights here, and loved it. The house is very spacious clean and decorated with so many bears!! We saw one bear near the house down in the woods. We would definitely stay there again!!

10.0 / 10.0

The home was beautiful! Big and spacious. We really enjoyed our stay except the neighbors were really loud our last night but I definitely recommend if your looking for a big non expensive home! The only bad thing was it has no yard at all for the kids to go outside. The roads to get to the house are terrifying but that’s part of being in the mountains! 10 10 recommend! We did not get to see any bears.

We enjoyed our stay at your cabin with our children and grandchildren. No bears visited us at the cabin as others have noted , but we did all see one on the Cades Cove tour. We had everything we needed for our stay at the cabin and enjoyed our time together. The hot tub was a huge hit for all ages and the large table and chairs gave us room to play cards and board games altogether. I would definitely recommend this cabin if you have a group - the bedrooms on lower level were perfect for kids and grandkids while upstairs bedrooms allowed grandparents and aunt to rest peacefully .

Owner was very responsive when we had questions. Only issue was not having Xbox so just communicate to renters so they can plan. This is true with anything not available or not working if known ahead of time. Netflix and tv went out or was slow a lot but my assumption was because of location in the mountain. Maybe note this in listing too. Otherwise, very nice place. Definitely giving the heads to go to Gatlinburg first on GPS was great. Overall, highly recommend place to anyone traveling in area. We didn’t get to see any bears which the boys were disappointed. LOL

My family stayed the week between Christmas and New Year. The night we arrived it snowed making driving tricky, but we made it up the mountain in time to watch the snow fall from the hot tub! Wendy was great at making sure we had everything we needed for our stay and checked in with us to make sure we were comfortable. Great cabin, beautiful views!

10.0 / 10.0

The cabin was very warm and cozy and plenty big enough for our family of 10. The hot tub was relaxing and fun. We enjoyed a fire in the fireplace each night. We did see a bear upon arrival but did not see another bear the remainder of our trip. Other than the very steep road to get to the cabin, we absolutely enjoyed our stay.

Bear in truck 1st night there. Thankfully no damage and windows were up and had no food in truck. Enough pressure on window so it came down and had wet muddy paw prints but didn't tear up anything inside. Lot of trouble and time just to go to Walmart 30 minutes away. Place was nice but won't stand there again just our preference.

10.0 / 10.0

The place was amazing. I loved how everything was set up. I loved that it was a Christian home. Everything that I needed to cook with and such was right there. I loved seeing the bears come around the last 3 days of being there. The house is beautiful. The jacuzzi was good as well. I enjoyed my stay very relaxing. Only thing I didn’t like was the steep hills of course but all and all I loved it along with my family. We really enjoyed our stay and would loveeee to come back and stay!

Great place to bear watch!

Great place to bear watch!

This was a great property to watch bears. We even had some paw prints on our car one time (so do make sure to lock your car doors as noted in the instructions)! It was about 5 minutes to the entrance of Great Smoky Mountains National Park so it was convenient to go to the park without having to drive through downtown Gatlinburg. The kitchen had a lot of utensils and it was a classic cabin atmosphere. The beds were too soft for our taste but YMMV. Good/timely communication and instructions from the owners!
