This home is nestled in the heart of Tennessee. Perfert distance from tourists yet minutes away from all TN attractions. Clean and comfortable fit for 8 with all the vacation amenities. Communication with host was a 10. I highly recommend this amazing home and look forward for a return visit.

We had 16 people ages 5 to 80 and everyone enjoyed the bear necessities cabin

We had a wonderful stay at The Bare Necessities this weekend! Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience. There were a few small hiccups during our stay, but they were handled quickly and efficiently, which we really appreciated. The responsiveness made a big difference and showed great care from the hosts.The property itself was comfortable, well-kept, and had everything we needed for a relaxing getaway. It’s also in a great location—about an easy 25-minute drive to Dollywood and other local experiences, which made getting out and exploring super convenient.We truly enjoyed our time and felt right at home. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it to others looking for a great place to unwind!

The property fit the bill for our needs but it is in need of a lot of upgrades. I stayed the king bed upstairs and the mattress is completely shot. It is so old and used with a large dent that I found myself in every morning. The towel rack on the wall was falling off the wall and you can see it has been patched but never properly fixed. They didn't have enough towels for everyone available in the home but did bring them for us when we asked. We had one hand towel for the kitchen and that did not go very far with all of us cooking and cleaning. They only offered very cheap, thin, single roll of tp per bathroom before we had to buy our own. Same goes for trash bags and dishwasher detergent. With how much we're spending it was just sad that we had to worry about such things. But again, we had a good time and made things work!
