We have been coming to the Smokies for over 30 years. Have been there at least 25 times. We always stay in Townsend, Tennessee, the Peaceful Side! Of all the places we have stayed, this was the best! Awesome accommodations! The view from the back is incomparable! Absolutely beautiful! Couldn’t get any better! Our family loved it! Will definitely return!

What a fabulous family vacation home! After tubing, ziplining, Cades Cove, Dollywood, jumping off rocks at the Wye and the Sinks, riding horses at Davy Crockett stables, and exploring Tuckaleechee Caverns, our family returned to the beautiful Bear Den Lodge to enjoy the wonderful mountain views, the hot tub, the game room, the fire pit, the pool/fitness center, and the expansive decks that connected us to the sights, sounds, and wildlife of the Smokies! Kurt and Jill even surprised us with fresh apple pies one afternoon! Their cabin is welcoming in every way! There was plenty of room for 6 adults and 4 children (ages 10, 5, 5, 3) to enjoy each other for the entire week! The kitchen is well-stocked, the large island accomodated our large family, the living areas are inviting, the four bathrooms and large showers made bedtime easy, the bunk beds made sleeping with cousins special, and the decks made a cups of coffee in the morning and glasses of wine at night a perfect start and end to your day! Kurt quickly responded to our emails from booking to checkout and sincerely wanted us to enjoy our stay. Do not hesitate to book this outstanding lodge...We all agreed it was the best rental we have ever had, and it deserves a rating of 10!

A wonderful stay!

Everything about our stay was incredible! Kurt & Jill were easy to deal with and always quickly responded to questions. There were 10 additional it’s and it was the perfect size for all of us! The kitchen was nice and big so there was plenty of room for family divers between the counters with stools and table and the kitchen was surprisingly well stocked with essentials for cooking. But where we spend the most time was outside of the deck taking in the ever changing scenery of the mountains. We had family and friends in from Wisconsin and Georgia for my dad’s 80th birthday and EVERYONE was so pleased and had the best time!

Excellent stay with the best views of Smoky Mountains

We stayed over the Fourth of July and the house was a perfect place for our family to relax and play. We were able to enjoy tubing, waterfall hikes, the Cades Cove Loop biking, fishing and more. The house was very clean and had a lot of games. We loved the Dancing Bear cafe restaurant nearby. This was the perfect location for our vacation.
