Our stay- July 2025

This cabin was gorgeous. The owners were very friendly & easy to deal with. The only complaints I have are small, nitpicky, and not worth mentioning. There is always room for improvement. The location is amazing. Far enough away from the chaos, but close enough you can just hop in the car and be somewhere within 5 minutes. The first 2 nights we had a momma & her cub walk through our yard right next to our hot tub. Was a super neat experience, as we've never seen wild bears up close & personal.

Great Cabin

Great cabin close to the Gatlinburg strip, but still feels like your in the mountains away from it all. Only bad thing I can come up with about this place is the Pool was a little too cold to get in but it was mid October

5-Star Cabin, 3-Star View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was awesome! Hot Tub, Pool, Comfy Bed, Firepit!!! A bit disappointed in the views, though. Construction trash still remains on-site and views are obstructed by power lines. An improvement could be made to ensure a bit more privacy when using the hot tub like a simple lattice barrier. Overall, great place to get away from the City to.

Unique stay away

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin is clean and comfortable. We had everything we needed to stay away from the world for a few days. The pool and hot tub were nice to have. The cabin is very close to the cabins next to it so if you want privacy while in the hot tub you will not have it. Also there is a large water tank behind the cabin that is left off of the pictures and is an eyesore. The only other disappointment was that along the property line behind the cabin was a lot of liter and trash.

We loved the cabin, clean and neat and the location was great and convenient. The bed was very comfortable. All that was listed was there! The TV's were slightly frustrating, but if directions are read carefully and you are a patient person, it worked out. You must prop the door going into the pool room and breaker room open to get the TV downstairs to work and to change channels or volume, stand in the doorway and aim it in the breaker room. We changed the batteries in the remotes. The pool is not heated, so beware in the winter. All in all we had a good time and would book again.

Best Kept Secret Review

The cabin as in wonderful shape, felt brand new. Private pool is well worth the little extra money. All amenities we as discribed. Had a simple question about how to operate the outdoor gas fire pit so I emailed thw owner and hot an immediate response. Only thing I did not like was the company that we needed to use to get discount area attraction tickets as per the resort. Between my wife and I we called 5 times in 3 days and were on hold a very long time each call. They offered a call back number and never returned our calls. We finally gave up on discount tickets. However, the dinner shows we wanter to experience sold out This was not the fou3lt of the owner or resort. I just thought people should be aware of the problems we had recieving discounts. I would definitely recomend the "Best Kept Secret" cabin.

Just ok.

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was somewhat unhappy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This is a nice cabin with a lot of potential but could improve in several areas, especially for the price. The main level was clean all except for kitchen items, most all the dishes, cutlery, pot/pans and coffee maker had not be adequately clean from prior stays. The pool and hot tubs themselves were clean but the pool deck was nasty, I had to spend the first 30 min sweeping it so we felt comfortable walking on it barefoot. The large projector in the pool is extremely complicated and cumbersome to operate making it almost not worth the effort. The furnishing in the house, while mostly nice, are lacking for making what should be a relaxing environment. For example the sofa is worn out where you can feel the frame when you sit, there is no coffee table in the living room and with no reclining furniture it was hard to be comfortable sitting down to watch a movie. Also the addition of the arcade game and Foosball table make the area very cramped. One nice aspect is the dual head shower, however there is no shelf bench or rack for your soaps/washcloths etc. Finally, the outside area surrounding the cabin is littered with trash that obviously been there awhile. There is not much of a view from the porch and hottub but what view there is was ruined by the sight of this trash. While these issues did not ruin our stay completely they did make it less enjoyable. For the price there are much better option out there. This was our second stay in a bear tracts cabin, our first experience was amazing but this cabin did not meet expectations.

Amazing little getaway!

Our Cabin was nothing short of amazing. We loved the private pool and hot tub. The pool was heated and bearable for our toddler. The cabin was cozy and clean. We loved staying here. Our only issues were that the microwave wasn’t working (they brought us a new one) and that the pool projector was broken for half of our trip and could not be used until Saturday night when they fixed it. However, the communication was excellent and they responded as fast and efficient as they could!
