Thank you for the kind words, Angie. I’m glad you enjoyed the quiet yet convenient setting of our cabin and found our communication helpful. We’d love to host you again whenever you’re back in the Smokies!
Our group of friends (3 couples) who are friends since our college days had a great stay in this beautiful mountain house. Communication with Ryan was outstanding, particularly in dealing with an unexpected plumbing issue that was resolved promptly. It was a wonderful place and a wonderful time!

Beautiful cabin. Very clean and spacious. Host was very responsive. Great outdoor space. Loved sitting by the outdoor fireplace. The basement level was perfect for our teens/twenty something’s. Would definitely rent again.

Thank you for sharing your experience, Jennifer! I’m glad our cabin’s clean, spacious layout and outdoor fireplace hit the mark, and that the basement worked well for your teens. We’d love to host you again anytime—see you next time!
Cabin was great and in perfect condition. The outdoor areas and hot tub were perfect for relaxing and taking the end of beauty Smokies. The beds were comfortable, the living areas were cozy, and Ryan was very easy to work with in communicate with! Looking forward to staying here again!
The Cabin was just amazing, there is wildlife around that was just so much fun to admire. The Host was always prompt to get back with me on anything and was just overall very kind. We felt very at home, The cabin had so much space!! My Family had a Beautiful time and we made some very, very good memories. Thank you so much!!
Had so much fun visiting this property! Loved the layout of the house and enjoyed the beautiful patio. The patio swing was so relaxing and the fireplace outside was such a gem! The hot tub was great and located right off of the main area so it was nice to just be able to pop out there! We saw lots of wildlife in our short trip there. A ground hog, several chipmunks, and on our last day got to watch a bear lazily stroll by!
This place was gorgeous. We spent a lot of time on the deck by the fireplace. The kitchen was appointed better than most VRBO's that I have stayed in. The owner was very responsive with any questions that I had and overall we had a fantastic time calling this our home base for all of the activities we did around the area.
We had a wonderful stay! The home was exceptionally clean, beautifully maintained, and thoughtfully equipped with everything we needed. The hot tub, games, comfortable seating, and overall atmosphere made it a perfect place to spend quality time with family. The outdoor fireplace was great on those cool mornings and evenings. The host was also very responsive and helpful throughout our stay.The only downside was that the main floor bed was extremely uncomfortable: we moved upstairs and found the bed there to be great. Also, if you’re looking for expansive mountain views or big open sky views, be aware that the home sits between two ridges, so those views are limited. This home is very private and quiet. That said, if you’re looking for a beautiful, high-quality home to relax, unwind, and make memories with family, this is absolutely the place! We would 1000% recommend it and would happily recommend it to anyone looking for a wonderful family getaway.
Beautiful new cabin with all the amenities needed for a great stay. Highly recommend. We had an amazing time celebrating my wife’s 50th birthday with our kids.
Love the quiet location of the cabin. Very nice and spacious, and decorated very nicely. We used the outdoor fireplace every night. Owners are quick to respond and pleasant to deal with.
Absolutely amazing cabin! Everything was perfect. Great amenities! Clean and very well maintained. It sits up in the mountains with great views! The owners were awesome and very helpful and responsive. I would highly recommend this cabin!
The cabin was very clean and new! Fabulous views and was very peaceful and private for our trip. It had everything we needed for our spring break trip. Close to Pigeon Forge. We loved all the entertainment spaces and we enjoyed sitting on the expansive deck in the evenings.

Thanks, Lisa! Love that it checked all of your boxes. We’d love to have you back to Bear Down Hideaway by Rylee’s Retreats again!
We absolutely loved this cabin! It is ideal for large groups and with each room being an en-suite it made it private for everyone; it is packed with entertainment also. I highly recommend this house if you want to immerse yourself in the woods for relaxation and the sounds of the wilderness, although Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg are just a very short drive away for entertainment. You cannot go wrong with the location of this cabin.
The cabin is as beautiful, clean and well cared for as in the photos! Ryan kept in touch with us and was easily reachable for any questions. Located in a beautiful area, easy to get to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and Dollywood. There were six of us, with room for at least six more in this spacious, well appointed cabin. Loved all the games and fun things to do in the cabin! Huge outdoor decks for relaxing.

Thank you, Kathleen. It was a pleasure hosting you and your group! Happy holidays!
We could stay forever at Bear Down Hideaway! Perfectly nestled on a private wooded mountain side among gorgeous fall colored trees. Cleanliness was impeccable, kitchen set up provided everything we needed for a family of 10, hot tub/spa worked beautifully, VR gaming system huge hit with young adults, outdoor fireplace perfect for smores, interior living room and fireplace cozy for family game night and bedrooms/baths super accommodating for our entire family including our two grandmothers on the main floor! Our younger female adults had the entire loft/bedroom upstairs and young men hung out in the two game rooms downstairs. Our family is committed to visiting again and again... do not pass this one up! It is a winding drive up and if traveling in snow - please have 4 wheel drive for vehicles, it's worth it!
My family and I needed a home away from home as we had plans to do an overnight stay at Mt. LeConte. Bear Down Hideaway was perfect for us. We had ten in our party and all fit very comfortably. The cabin was very easy to get to and felt secluded and private. The large kitchen counter made it easy to serve meals to our large party. Multiple televisions enabled some to watch football as others chose to watch movies. Our return hike from LeConte poured rain so we were all very grateful for the four showers as we all rushed to clean up and get warm. The hot tub was especially nice to soothe our worn muscles after ascending and then descending close to 4000ft. I definitely recommend and would return again to Bear Down Hideaway for another relaxing and cozy stay in the mountains. I hope others enjoy it as much as we did.
Even better than the photos — perfect mountain escape!
Bear Down Hideaway exceeded all our expectations. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, even more impressive in person. We loved having three separate living rooms to spread out and relax, and the kids had a blast playing games and Shuffleboard. It looks like they’re adding a cutting-edge Omni One VR system, which is such a cool addition!The setting is peaceful and secluded with lovely views, yet it’s just a short drive to Pigeon Forge and the Wears Valley entrance to the national park — super convenient for exploring the Smokies. The kids couldn’t get enough of the queen bunk beds and hot tub, and we spent every evening dining outside and enjoying the outdoor fireplace.We also really appreciated the 8 TVs throughout the cabin — especially the 85” screen in the theater room, which made for some amazing movie nights. This cabin truly has everything. We can’t wait to return!
The cabin was just as advertised! It was beautiful and very clean. The deck and hot tub were the hit of the stay. Ryan was a great host and easy to get ahold of, responded back very quickly. We would definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends and family.
This is a beautiful cabin, which was perfect for a family getaway. Our family ranges from 8 months to 61 years old, and all ages could be accommodated comfortably. The cabin was very clean and beautifully decorated, as depicted on the listing. The mountain road leading up to the cabin was very steep and curvy. We were glad we visited in the summer. We had a bear who would stroll through from time to time. The theater room was a great place to watch the World Cup matches. We spent quite a bit of time out on the decks, but probably would have been out there more if not for the extreme heat wave. We liked being away from the congestion and traffic of Pigeon Forge, but be prepared that it's about a half hour drive to dining and activities. We used all of the bathrooms and bedrooms, and some of the bathrooms were out of body wash and/or handwash, but that was a minor inconvenience. Our little ones enjoyed the playground at Wear Farm park. We had plans to visit Townsend, but ended up having to leave earlier than expected, so didn't make it there. We definitely recommend this property!
