Our family of three, including our 6-year-old daughter, had an unforgettable stay at Cozy Bear! The cabin was clean, cozy, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. We loved relaxing on the deck and in the hot tub while enjoying the peaceful mountain setting. It offered the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. The highlight of our trip happened on our very first day when a mama black bear stopped by the cabin to say hello! As if to make our trip even more special, she came back on our last day while we were checking out to say goodbye. It was an incredible experience to safely see a bear in its natural habitat right from our cabin. Many visitors hope (and even pay) for an experience like this, and we were lucky enough to enjoy it on our very first Smoky Mountains visit. Our daughter was absolutely thrilled! The location couldn't have been better—just 5–10 minutes from SkyPark, SkyBridge, Anakeesta, Ober Mountain, downtown Gatlinburg, and the national park entrance, making it easy to explore and return to the peaceful cabin. The only minor downside was the occasional spiders rebuilding webs overnight and a few ants, but that's expected when staying in a cabin surrounded by nature. Overall, Cozy Bear exceeded our expectations. It gave us memories we'll cherish forever, and we'll definitely be returning to the Smokies—and staying at Cozy Bear again!

This is a cute little property, if you are planning on spending alot of time away from the cabin it’s perfect. I would say the cabin is a little outdated. No smart tv in the bedroom we stayed in. We didn’t use the upstairs. Also, there was a 5 disc cd player that took me back to my highschool days. There is no table on the balcony as pictured. I was a little disappointed on how outdated the cabin was but the stay was nice.

Quiet safe easy parking

In December, we stayed at this cabin in Tennessee, and unfortunately, the property was poorly maintained and quite old. The furniture was scratched and dirty. The floor was filthy, and behind the TV, there were dead bugs . It seemed like the floor hadn’t been washed with water in a long time. The kitchen cabinets inside were damaged and not repaired or remodeled. The property only has one parking space, not suitable for a large car.I’d also like to mention that the glasses and plates were dirty, as if no one truly cleaned anything, and renters must be the ones cleaning up. The brooms, mops, and cleaning supplies were left beside the refrigerator, and everything was disgustingly dirty. This was overall a disappointing experience.
