Family vacation

We loved this property and our vacation in Tennessee. The house is located to easily reach all the major activities in the area but nestled back in a beautiful area with Mountain View’s and beautiful scenery. The house was wonderful and had everything we needed. We had a great family trip and hope to return again!

Thank you for all your accommodations of this location. The whole process was completely smooth from the beginning to the final checkout process. We always feel were just a step away from heaven while visiting the smoky mountains. Staying here at this location just made it even more enjoyable. Thank you for the best accommodations and I highly recommend this place to anyone thinking about visiting.

Relaxing Cabin

The cabin was very clean and stocked well above what we expected. It was in a great location, very quiet and beautiful views. We loved just playing games and hanging out at the cabin—a great place to relax and recharge. And when we chose to go out, it was not too far of a drive to our activities. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us.

Great cabin

The cabin was great over all. The owners answered all the questions i had within a timely manner. The only complains i would have would be the beds in the lower level where cheeky. There was a large amount of bird poop on the main level deck right next to grill kind of made us not want to grill. Over all a great place to stay.

Beautiful Home But Poor Communication

We arrived at the property and had not received any information on how to enter the property. We messaged the owner and didn’t get a response. We had to call VRBO and have them try to contact the home owner. They were unsuccessful at first, but then eventually reached them. I am not going to lie, I became very nervous! They did put us in touch with the property manager and we received the code. We’ve always rented through VRBO, but always worked directly with the owners and never had this issue before. The cabin was beautiful. We enjoyed our stay once we got past the checkin issue. I would suggest investing in towels. The towels were so small. Beautiful views and the cabin was beautifully decorated.

A Trip for the Books

We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The check in process was easy and the check out process was simple! I think I’m going to miss the early morning hot tub sessions before getting in the steam showers to start the day. The location is pretty convenient for being in the mountains. We were close to Pigeon Forge and about 45 min from Gaitlinburg. Everything was super clean and the king beds in every room made it super easy to choose a bedroom. The food options around were to die for and once you leave the cabin you probably won’t be back until dinner time. The kitchen was equipped with all the things you could possibly need or want. 4 full bathrooms! We only had 3 adults and 1 child but it’s always great to have options! 2 steam showers that both worked perfectly. The steam showers may have been my favorite part lol. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in the oversized jet tub watching tv and eating ice cream after a fantastic dinner at The Chop House. This place is great for couples, friends, and family. You can’t go wrong choosing The Bear Essentials!! We will definitely be back, HOPEFULLY NEXT ANNIVERSARY! Thanks Justin for your quick responses and a wonderful home!

A comfortable place for the whole family!

We enjoyed our stay at the Smoky Mountain cabin. Our goal was to have a place for our families to enjoy together, with plenty of space for all and provide leisure for all ages. The rooms were spacious and clean with plenty of bathrooms :). We spent the days being out at Dollywood and seeing sights so coming back in the evenings it was good to make use of the hot tub, sauna and games room. Our hosts were very communicative and all was in order and as described in the profile. Thanks for a great stay.
