This home was nearly perfect for the relaxing retreat we were looking for. Excellent location with easy access to Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg! Beautiful views! The three bedrooms are on three different levels, with the top one being a loft, and sound travels throughout the house. FYI for light sleepers. The downstairs game room & third bedroom has to be accessed from outside the main house. We did enjoy the ping pong table and arcade game. Wish they had some additional board games as well. Also, we did not realize the hot tub was only a three seater, we had seven people, so that was a little unfortunate because we did not get to enjoy it as often as we would have. Was disappointed the grill was a basic charcoal only grill and located out by the road…would have preferred to be able to entertain on the deck while grilling. Overall though we had the very best time, and spent the majority of our time at the beautiful and scenic cabin!

Katy‘s cabin is truly amazing! It was clean and the cabin is really cozy and it has everything you need! You can enjoy the view from the porch or the hot tub. Katy is always available when you need anything. We reached out to her due to very bad weather conditions and she responded just within a few minutes. Would definitely book again!

Cabin was exactly like the pictures. With beautiful views of the mountains. Was very spacious with enough room for large families or groups having a bathroom for each bedroom was very nice too. The host Katy was excellent and easy to work with and get a hold during our entire stay. She also checked in on us to make sure we were having an excellent stay! I definitely would recommend bear cub view!

Pros: Communication with Katy was easy & she was very kind. Check-in & out process was easy. There is plenty of room for a large family. The location is situated nearby to plenty of activities. Cons: The downstairs fridge was not working. Katy said it had been giving them fits, & she did send someone out to repair it ASAP, but the repair person looked at the wrong fridge. We had to flip-flop where all of our family was staying due to the need for fridge access. However, Katy did rectify this for us by comping us a meal. There is a warning about the smell of the hot tub due to well water, but for us it was too much to bear and I'm not sure it had been cleaned prior to our arrival (there were leaves and pine needles in the water). There are a lot of switches for lights/fans, but we had trouble connecting/separating them. Our biggest complaint was the cleanliness, or lack thereof. After my son's bath, we allowed him to walk barefoot inside & after one hour, his feet were solid black. There was trash left in and around the premises from the previous guests. Surfaces had not been wiped down. I'm hoping it was a fluke due to the holidays. General Information: If you're not used to it, getting to the location is VERY scary & can prove challenging. I drive a large SUV & had difficulty getting up some of the steeper parts; my wheels would spin & roads are very narrow. We arrived when it was already dark outside & there were no lights on nor nearby, so bring a flashlight.
