Bear Santuary
We enjoyed our 2 week stay at the Bear Santuary cabin and loved having the 4 king size beds. Stephen was wonderful returning any phone calls with our questions.. We had daily visits from the local bears and followed all the bear rules. 🐻 Look forward to coming again.

Great family getaway.
Very nice cabin, with plenty of room to congregate or have your own space. Nice up to date appliances, and the hot tub and pool table were great. Easy access from the road, and a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg. Super easy check in and check out, and great communication with the owners.

Beautiful cabin in the mountains!
This home was such a treat. Really, the perfect getaway with my family. How often do you get a rental with 4 king sized bedrooms? It was plenty of space and the hot tub on the back deck overlooking the woods was a bonus! Host was really great with communication and the check in and check out process was easy. We liked how it felt like a true log cabin but with modern touches (nice tvs and keyless entry, etc). Thanks so much for the visit!

We enjoyed this lovely, well appointed cabin. The furnishings and decor were perfect for a weekend get away and the kitchen was stocked with all of the cookware and dishes we needed for our group. The decks on the front and back of the house made for enjoyable evenings outside.

Anniversary Trip
We brought our elderly parents for their 50th wedding anniversary. The cabin was perfect with flat parking and a master on the main. It was also very close to the Gatlinburg strip. The roads are very curvy and mountainous getting there, but the cabin was perfect for us! The owners were very responsive when we had an issue with the oven, but it was definitely not a dealbreaker. Lovely stay and great accommodations!
