This is a fabulous place to stay. We are four friends that use to work together. We try to see each other every couple of years. The cabin was so comfortable and had everything we needed for visiting. The owners are very kind and helpful. Would stay here again ! Thank you for sharing your home with us.

We enjoyed the rustic home with touches of modernization. It was exactly what was portrayed on VRBO. Would enjoy coming back to property with my adult children.

Room was perfect. Enjoyed being in the middle of nature. Got to watch the deer feed while enjoying the awesome hot tub

This cabin is the nicest one we have stayed in! Nicely decorated with vintage items and antiques. Every little detail was considered when renting to others. We had everything we needed. Perfect little spot close to town, but quiet and peaceful. As soon as we got there two deer were already waiting on us. We got to see an armadillo crawl across the yard and under the porch, then heard bear growling and rustling around in the woods that evening.

This was our second time staying at Three Bears Cabin and we loved it even more!
Plenty of room for our family of five, yet still cozy. The cabin is rustic and has everything you need to enjoy your stay.
Easy check in and the owners don’t bother you like other places we’ve stayed.
10/10 highly recommend!

This was our third time staying and it was still a perfect getaway. Saw some deer, soaked in the hot tub, and enjoyed the peaceand quiet. Already looking forward to next time.

Three Bears Lodge was great. Just as advertised. We even got to see 7 deer Sunday morning. Super close to wedding venue.

I was impressed about how well stocked the cabin was, everything was provided. I was like going from home to home, great job by the owners! It was a very interesting cabin, so many little unique things to get your attention. The kids loved feeding the deer in the evenings and we all enjoyed the hot tub each night. The only advice I would give is to be careful when getting the key out of the box. I put in the code, opened the front and the key fell out and through the porch deck boards. I had to crawl below to retrieve it. We loved the cabin, location, hot tub and all the provisions. I will certainly be looking to book this particular cabin again next time we visit the area.

The cabin is Cute and Cozy! We were disappointed with no dishwasher as to keep eating ware sanitized because there were some utensils that were not clean, Leaves All over the beautiful deck that you could tell that hasn’t been swept off that day that we arrived. I went in to get broom to sweep off myself so we could get in hottub. Outdoor glass table was dirty, spider webs and thick dust on living room light that is made with deer horns, which was pretty but could visually see webs going from horn to horn. Thick dust on fish that is hanging on wall in living room.The Beds were awesome!! I don’t go around looking for dust and webs but this was obvious.

We went to Alabama for my sisters birthday. This was the perfect location in between the activities we had planned. We went to Talladega Speedway, Alabama Museum, Jack Daniels museum in Lynchburg TN, the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, and Mercier Apple Orchard in Blue Ridge, GA.
The cabin was clean, well stocked, and in the woods. Every day there, we saw some deer in the back yard, even while enjoying the hot tub.
Will definitely rent there again!

We stayed here along our route for the World’s Longest Yard Sale. The location was perfect. Cabin was easily assessable and was a nice place to stay after a long day of exploring.
5.0
This is a great cabin in a great area, that was the perfect little family getaway. The owners are the best, they go above and beyond what is needed, we have found a great place to meetup with family from Bama. We had so much fun visiting outside around a sweet fire pit. The deer was a treat to watch. Rent with confidence from this super host, you will be like us, and come back soon!
5.0
Was this place perfect? No, but darn-near!
Having interacted with both the owners and the host, they were friendly and amenable. The kitchen was so well stocked with dishes, pots, and pans that we had store our non-perishable items on the washer & dryer!
Two main floor seating areas meant that everyone was comfortably seated at all times. The screened-in back porch was spacious and a great place to watch deer in the area during morning coffee.
The decor throughout was perfectly rustic and plentiful. The shower downstairs was spacious and there was a jacuzzi tub upstairs.
Mentone, Fort Payne, and DeDoto State Park were easily accessible from the cabin.
Like I said: We'll be back!
5.0
Absolutely the best place I have ever stayed! We had so many deer and a black bear came through. I felt like a Disney princess watching all the wildlife! I will DEFINITELY STAY AGAIN SOON!!
5.0
This is like our 8th time rent over the last 4 years. We fell in love with this cabin from the first time renting it. Now we enjoy renting it a couple nights in the Spring and Fall every year. We love getting away, and enjoying the peace and serenity of this place. It is quiet, beautifully decorated, clean, and the owners make sure it is well stocked with what you need. We fed the deer this time, cooked there, and didn't leave til it was time to check out! Owners have excellent ratings for a reason, they are great people who go above and beyond to help if there are issues. We love being repeat renters!
5.0
The property was exactly what we wanted. Lots of space for family and a screened in porch with enough space for family to sit together. A nice hot tub and great views of the deer. Will definitely recommend and re book

This was the perfect cabin for four female friends as we enjoyed DeSoto Park, Little River Canyon and Mentone. The location is central and the facility provided spaces suitable for each of us to have a separate bed. It’s spacious and had every amenity we needed. We enjoyed our stay immensely.

Loved it! Definitely recommend this cabin! Plenty of room, everything was nice and clean, and that hot tub was so relaxing! This was a nice weekend getaway spot!

Plenty of room for 4 girls. A second shower would have been great. Hot tub was fabulous. Loved watching the deer.

It is a peaceful little getaway. We loved being in the hot tub watching the many deer come up to eat in the manger. We hope to come back again!

Everything was Perfect
5.0
The cabin has been updated with modern amenities, great water pressure, a nice walk in shower downstairs and jetted garden tub upstairs, but still retains a rustic appeal through exposed timber interior and a collection of rustic decor. The building is compact, but still manages to fit 4 beds and two baths without feeling cramped. The backyard space really adds a lot with screened-in back porch and firepit with accessible wood stack, but the full sized hot tub in a gazebo is the star of the show! Would definitely recommend and/or stay again!

5.0
Everything was just as stated in the listing. It was a very peaceful stay. We live close and are familiar with the area. It was supposed to be a woman’s stay for friends coming in. They had to cancel, so we had a family “staycation” instead. When we pulled into the drive there were 6 deer in the backyard. The fire pit and hot tub were nice. Would love to go back to enjoy the beautiful screened in back porch and front porch swing when weather is milder.
5.0
We had a great time! Location so close to town.
Folks need to know that shops only open on the weekends.
Wildflower Cafe was amazing but only open Thursday thru Sunday. The cabin was fully stocked with everything we needed. We grilled out and really enjoyed the screened in porch. Waterfalls were easy to get to and we would defintely come back again to this cabin.
5.0
Other reviews mentioned that Three Bear Lodge is better in person and I have to agree. Walking in the front door, we were in awe of the decor and coziness of the cabin. The owners spent a lot of time choosing the perfect pieces to make this cabin a very special time away from the hustle and bustle of the city. We loved it.
