Amazing does not begin to describe this beautiful home from its location to the cleanliness.The homeowners were very kind and accommodating to our needs. Would definitely recommend this place if looking for a place in Gatlinburg.
Our family of seven took a five day vacation to Tennessee and chose to stay in this cabin. The view from the large window is gorgeous. Everyone had their own comfy bed. We made use of the rec room's pool table and card table. Use the directions provided by the owners, our gps took us on some scary, wild rides all over that mountain! The three showers were incredibly nice since the weather was hot in June and we were so sweaty after excursions to Anakeesta, Raft Outdoor Adventures, and Dollywood. Breakfast at Crocketts is a must! Now the bears. Being from Illinois, we had no knowledge of bears. They are definitely by the cabin. We were gifted with seeing 8 bears in 4 days. Once in the backyard, another on the deck outside of the big window and another on our way to the van to leave. This cabin is a great place to experience Tennessee!
This was bearadise! We saw 7 bears cross the property, 2 Mama bears and 5 cubs, at different times. We were able to get videos of cu s climbing trees and a healthy mom. The place was hospitable and well-equipped for everyone's enjoyment, inside and out. The view was stunning! We were all grateful that we had such a nice place to stay!
The place is very clean, the beds are comfy, the kitchen is fully stocked, and the VIBE is amazing. Sit on the porch with a cup of coffee and wave at the tram riders as they float by in front of you. We had 9 individual bears visit frequently in the yard and the porches. Highly recommend.
The property was in great condition and in a great location! The owners were very responsive and easy to work with! We saw 6 bears (4 on the property) which really added to our overall experience! I would definitely recommend staying here again!
This was perfect for our extended family vacation- enough space for four families and the cabin was very well equipped. The hosts were excellent with communication and responsiveness to questions. It was a fantastic stay!
Mountain Bearadise was amazing! Great views (including bears in the yard) and amenities (washer/dryer, hot tub, fire pit, swimming pools, etc). The bedrooms are on 3 different floors, which worked for our group, and we liked that the children's bedrooms did not have TVs. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and well stocked. The kitchen supported cooking for large crowds. The location is close to many hiking trails and the parkway, but the neighborhood was quiet with minimal traffic. Internet was fast and reliable. Hosts are informative about the area and very responsive. Requested duties at checkout are minimal.
Cons: the AC took some time to cool the large space to our liking. We wish there were ceiling fans in all the bedrooms. The stairs are a bit steep for the young children. Two of the showers are small, thus hard to maneuver in, according to the 6'5" guest.
My family and I had a great week. We saw a total of ten bears in five days. We found it very relaxing to sit on the back deck and wave back to the folks riding the Ober. The view of Gatlinburg was awesome and at night the lights in the valley and quietness of the towering mountains provide an atmosphere
nothing short of a spiritual experience. Our host had everything laid out nicely and very well organized.
I found the property to be exactly what was represented on line based on information provided.
My family will definitely be returning.
Thanks for a great week.
Perfect! We planned to stay as close to Gatlinburg as possible while still having the cabin experience. The location of this property was perfect! Only a 5-10 minute drive from the "strip" AND an amazing view of Gatlinburg!! The Cabin was everything we hoped it would be! The photos represent it very well. It has a 3 tier deck! It also has a backyard with a firepit! This is very rare for a cabin with such an amazing view. Plenty of room and activities inside as well. This cabin had everything we needed for our stay. It already has ALL of the basic necessities. The check in was so simple. The same with checking out. The hosts communicated everything you would need to know, not only by email, but there is also the most clever book inside the cabin with everything listed as well as information regarding restaurants and activities in the area. Be prepared, with a view like that you are on the top of a mountain. The roads are narrow and curvy and the driveway is tight but very sufficient. Such a great experience! We were hoping to see bears, but did not. We will definitely return!
Pictures makes it look larger than it is and the steps are very steep for little ones and seniors. Great location and very nice hosts. Will stay again!
The house was a little smaller than the pictures let on. But the house was very cozy and close to all the activities we were visited every night I bear they even got into the car one night. The host are very helpful.
Great cabin, close to downtown Gatlinburg. Saw many bear but they left us alone, even when we were grilling. Could use new beds and pillows. Every time someone rolled over, the beds would squeak loudly. Other than that, we had everything we needed for a great weekend!
The views were unbeatable and we had everything we needed during the stay. The hills as stated are very steep but after a few trips up and down not so bad. The firepit and gathering spots were beautiful but with all the bear activity we didnât take the children off the decks lol. We had multiple sightings daily on the property beneath us and in the driveway but no issues and welcomed the experience! We enjoyed the cabin and family time!
The checkin process was very easy and we could have checked in earlier, which was nice to know. Chris reached out to us to see if we needed anything, but we were good. I contacted Chris before we left so I had our questions answered earlier. There was an awesome view from the cabin and we saw bears there, even in the yard. We had fun watching the cubs play. I would highly recommend staying at this place.
This was a lovely well kept chalet. The roads are steep and narrow so do take that into account, but on days I didn't want to drive all the way down we just bought tram tickets from Ober which is right around the corner. Uber eats does deliver here too. I recommend bringing bear spray and definitely be aware. I encountered one on our first morning while checking out the property so we stuck with the buddy system after that. Over all great location, home, and amenities.
Family and I stayed for week getaway. It was a great place to hang out, lots of activities for this kids. Great view of mountains and Gatlinburg day and night. Every got to watch a small black bear walk by a few times. Just sniffing around and strolling through the woods. They don't call it Bearadise for nothing!
