It was just me and my wife, but there is plenty room for a larger family or friends to stay. Had everything we needed to use and for fun. The area was good, quite for most part. We traveled to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, even Cherokee, NC. The beds are firm, which was ok, we are use to a more softer bed. The Master bedroom wasn't as cool as I liked but it if you was sleeping downstairs it was cooler. There is plenty room downstairs as well. TV in every living area or bedroom. Didn't see any bears at all during our trip but did see Elk, deer, and turkeys. Wished we could have stayed longer but we needed to be back for appointment. It's not 100% perfect but I would definitely come back to this cabin, next time with family and friends. It rained alot so didn't use the grille or fire pit. We went to Old Mill, Blue Moose, and Puckers far as eating out. Cades cove was a nightmare due to holiday and took forever to get through and see much the whole time there. Again overall we enjoyed the cabin and peacefulness.
