It was like a home away from home. Beautiful Mountain View, now if you like to sleep late the windows let a lot of light in but we managed. Had enough kitchen stuff for us to cook breakfast every morning if we wanted. Overall I’d stay again without a doubt

Everything was pretty clean except the indoor tub could've been cleaner. Other than that the views were gorgeous. The cabin is cozy. Smaller than expected but perfect for two people or even four. My boyfriend Grant and I had an amazing time and I hope future people do too.

This cabin is great if you want to be away from town (approx 10 miles). Feels remote and although there are other cabins around you won't be bothered. Wonderful place. Very clean and well maintained. Amazing hot tub overlooking mountains. Kitchen fully stocked with all appliances, dishware, etc. The bed is the most comfortable we have ever had away from home. This is our second stay and there WILL be more. The only concern is steep winding roads up to cabin but once you get used to them it is no issue. Grocery store, Dollar General, McDonald's, liquor store and gas station all between you and town so you can get pretty much anything you need without going all the way into town traffic. There is also easy access to Pigeon Forge and Sevierville via local highways between cabin and Gatlinburg. This is the place for you if you are looking for a good mix of relaxing with easy access to all local activities. Well worth the trip!

This Cabin is a perfect getaway cabin! We stayed 5 days here. Few other cabins close by, but not too close. Private drive on the mountain. Overall we were very happy with this cabin and sad to leave! There is a few minor items that could use some TLC but nothing to complain about. It was great! We saw a momma bear and 2 cubs on the road! Wouldn’t hesitate to book again in the future. We loved “BearHugs”!

Secluded getaway

Cute cabin, great view. The road leading to the cabin does not have any phone service so I suggest having checkin details saved outside of the internet. There was confederate flag decor in the cabin and this was a surprise to us. As an interracial couple, we didn’t feel 100% comfortable with it. Perhaps this could be more prominently featured in the ad so we knew what we were walking into, or removed from the property entirely.

The PERFECT 2 person Cabin in the Smokey’s!

I’ve stayed in 4 Smokey Mountain Cabins so far and this one was the greatest! Super clean and well maintained. Beautiful wood design with cute black bear theming. The view was fantastic. Plenty of soaps and kitchen needs including cookie sheets. Good WiFi connection. Outdoor hot tub and indoor jacuzzi with a stone waterfall. Comfortable bed. And the Managment “Tammi” was very attentive with instant replies to all questions. It was slightly heartbreaking to have to leave at the end of the visit. It’s a little tricky to locate at first as it’s located past another cabin and there are 2 streets for the “Thisaway & Thataway” split. (When you get to that point, take the far left turn at 9;00 not 10:00) It’s everything you want from a Smokey Mt Cabin. 10 min drive to a local store with good sandwiches. 30 min drive to Dollywood.

The cabin is super cozy! It was perfect and very clean! There are other cabins on the mountain, but it felt like our cabin was very remote and private. The owner was available to answer texts and a phone call right away. Would recommend 100%!

Was a terrific stay. Only thing that was stressful was trying to find the cabin on the first night the address took us to the middle of a road with nothing on either side it took us about an hour and a half to finally find the place but once we did we loved it.
