Bearly Paradise was a great cabin, one of the best we’ve ever stayed in. It is a “real” log cabin and not one of those that just has wooden log strips nailed to the walls. It has an amazing view of Pigeon Forge, yet it’s only 5-10 minutes away. There amenities are fairly standard (hot tub, pool table), but nice, and the big TV in the living room is nice.
The only downsides to this cabin were 1) the upstairs bedroom was warm at night and the fan couldn’t be adjusted, so I slept without covers or just a light sheet, and 2) the wifi was so slow as to basically be useless. I would have switched to cell service, but you get such poor reception on the top of the hill that it’s not any better. We had two kids trying to play on devices and laptops when we weren’t out enjoying the town, but they ran into trouble at times. I ran a couple of speed tests on it, and none were above 5 Mbps.
Still, we will probably come back here due to the quality of the cabin and the view, and the proximity to Pigeon Forge.
