About this property

Bears, bears, bears! Minutes from downtown, book early for summer

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 don't give refunds, but do allow you to reschedule and go any other time that's open, with no additional charge. 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 do not have a 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. We do not refund money but do allow you to reschedule and go any other time if needed.

Thanksgiving Holidays
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.

Ladies week
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.

Quite, peaceful, relaxing
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 property
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.

Why they chose this property

We purchased our first home in Gatlinburg in 2006 and have loved it, when we had the opportunity to get another we did! This one is so cozy and warm and has lots of room for families to spread out.
