My family enjoyed the cabin so much, everything was so homey and very clean! My 6 girls under the age of 8 enjoyed the games and we all had lots of space. The hot tub was amazing & so relaxing. Having a dog crate was very helpful and saved us much needed space in the vehicle. We did have a water issue through the whole resort on Monday the day before checkout and they were great with reaching out and offered a refund for the night without hassle. I most def will be visiting again!

Everything was great!! The kids enjoyed hiking in the area and we had a great time cooking and eating Thanksgiving dinner together. We were disappointed that we didn’t see a bear

Thank you! We are glad to hear that you enjoyed your stay!💕
This property was great for an extended family getaway. The kids and men loved the game room and pool. Property was clean, decorated very cute, and close to downtown.
Hello Monte,
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review and sharing your experience with us. It has been our pleasure hosting your stay and we welcome you back soon.
We enjoyed staying here! Teresita was very prompt on answering when reaching out! Close drive to attractions but yet far enough away too. We tried pizza at the cove for dinner one night and that is the best pizza we ever had! We will definitely have that every time we visit that area. You won’t be disappointed in your stay here!
It was a BEAUTIFUL home away from home. We had everything we needed. The home was comfortable and easily accommodated all of us. We had such a great time and was located in the perfect spot to be close to everything. We cant wait to return.

No idea how this property is rated 5 stars. Pictures overstate the cabin which is dated and in need of maintenance, but especially on the exterior.We had a major communication issue upon check-in that caused unnecessary stress and wasted a lot of time. We asked about early checkin and were told the cabin was ready to check in anytime. When part of our group arrived early to take a work meeting, the cleaner was still there and was unaware that we were set to arrive early. Property mgr said she hadn’t told us we could check in early even though it was clearly in writing in the app. The 3 members of our party who were there said we they’d leave after the call in less than 30 minutes, but the cleaner was “uncomfortable”, so she left the floors and outdoor space dirty. The problem was that the previous guests, who had apparently rented after the PM told us the cabin was ready, left it disgusting-chicken, m&m’s, crumbs all over the floor and dog poop on the deck. We cleaned the floors but not the dog poop. Communications was all apparently our fault because we checked in early when we were given express permission to do so. The tone of the PM changed once we called VRBO because an early check in charge was placed on our account-not sure exactly what happened there but the PM said it was because she called to report that the cabin couldn’t be cleaned because we arrived early. All very confusing as we have had over 30 absolutely perfect stays in other properties.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry for the frustration you experienced at check-in.
Early check-in is always dependent on the cabin being fully cleaned and ready. In this case, the previous guests left the property in an unusually poor condition, requiring additional time to prepare. Your group arrived approximately three hours early, and while we communicated the need for more time, the cleaner was unable to comfortably complete the job with the cabin occupied.
For clarification, after reviewing the account, we do not see that any additional fees, including an early arrival charge, were applied.
We understand how this caused confusion and appreciate your feedback. This was an unusual situation and does not reflect the standard experience we consistently provide.
Scenic cabin with plenty of space for the whole family!
My family and I very much enjoyed our stay at this cabin. The cabin was lovely and very clean, and there was plenty of space for all of us (4 adults, 1 child, and our dog). We had a small issue with the bathtub, but Teresita was very responsive about getting this issue fixed quickly. We had a great time and will definitely consider future stays at this cabin. Highly recommend!
Running Bear Lodge is a great place to stay. Close to attractions, yet in the mountains. The host is amazing. We highly recommend this beautiful, clean, and family friendly home!

Maybe I missed it but could not find the grill listed on ammendies. The place was clean and isolated from the main stream of people. The roads to the cabin were in bad shape and needed repair.
Enough room for our group of 10.Everything we needed for a nice family gathering for the holiday

The property was beautiful and exactly as described. The location was perfect was it was only 5 minutes from Dollywood. We had plenty of space for everyone and especially enjoyed all the child friendly supplies (cups, bowls, pack and play, high chair). We would definitely come back to this location in the future
