Everything was pretty good! Very large cabin on a hill! My only advice/complaint was the hot tub had not been turned on for our arrival. We could not get in it our first evening, bc it was cold. It took until the next day to get it heated.

When we arrived we were a bit intimidated by the driveway up. We don’t have hills where we live, but once we conquered that the house was gorgeous. Plenty of space. Looks just like the photos. We were able to have a comfortable vacation with family without being cramped. We would definitely book this again.

About the host

Hosted by Toby Shedd

Host profile image
I love the Smoky Mountains and feel blessed to have actually lived in Gatlinburg. I also love the bay and beach which I currently get to enjoy. I know how important it is to get away as family, as friends, or for a special celebration. Knowing that others get to disconnect and enjoy my cabin in the beautiful Smoky Mountains is so meaningful to me.

Why they chose this property

We love this neighborhood because it is very quiet, the people are extremely friendly and it is so convenient to Gatlinburg. It is also convenient to the greatest of restaurants, national park hiking, grocery store, Anakeesta, Ober Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and the list goes on and on.

What makes this property unique

Staying in Black Bears and Rockin' Chairs is like living in the beautiful secluded hardwood trees with nature all around you as the beautiful black bears frequently stroll through our property. Drinking your early morning coffee or afternoon wine while gazing into the peak of beautiful Mt. Leconte is a memory that last forever!
