We loved our stay at Mama Bear's cabin. We got to see bears 3 out of the 5 day stay. 1 of the bears tried to open our truck door but didn't get in. This is by no means a complaint. We are old school and do dishes by hand. Maybe bring dish rags and kitchen towels with you if you are like us. Over all GREAT STAY! we loved it!

Everything about the stay was perfect. The check out process was simple. It was in a great location only 10 minutes from Gatlinburg which made the trip pleasant. They aren't kidding about the bears and we saw multiple while we were there. The hot tub was a nice touch and it was a nice place to come to at the end of long days.

The cabin was everything we could have imagined. The hot tub was used every night. Location was a plus, so close to Gatlinburg. Bear included! We saw a black bear the last hour we were there.
The bear is on the road.
The cabin is so beautiful at night.

Our host was welcoming, and our needs were met. Our family enjoyed the cabin, watching movies, relaxing in the hot tub, playing games, and cooking. The cabin was larger than we anticipated and very comfortable. My husband spotted a bear close to the property. The ride up and down the mountain was a bit challenging in that the road is narrow, and there are some places with no guard rails.

Fantastic place with close proximity to Gatlinburg. Host was excellent with communication. House was well stocked with all we needed for our stay. My only suggestion or request would be to add a shelf in the upstairs bathroom for hair tools, etc as the pedestal sink doesn’t allow space for things. I would also love to see a few mirrors in the bedrooms to allow people to get ready while the bathroom is occupied. But those are personal preference things and don’t affect my review of the place. I’ll be saving this rental for our next trip to the mountains! Side note: we saw bear every day from the deck. It was fun watching the mama with her babies.

The Momma bears cabin was great! It was very clean & well stocked, the beds were comfortable, the hot tub was relaxing. The cabin is as pictured, very well taken care of & communication with Danyelle the host was great, she was very quick to respond if we had a question. We saw bears at our cabin everyday, on our last night we saw a mama with 2 cubs. We would definitely stay here again!!
