Great time

Me and my friends stayed for a week and had a great time. The space was great and fit perfectly for our needs its also in perfect distance to going shoping and haveing fun in either Gatlinburg or Pidgeon Forge. The only thing we might sugest is that the outside lights be brighter, my friend who brought her dogs often didnt like to go out at night because the lights wernt all that bright expecely the back flood lights but really that would be the only thing everything eles was great and we will defently come back whenever we come back to the area.

Mountain View’s

This property was very nice…secluded with great Mountain View’s. It was a little further away from Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge than we anticipated but we made it work for our day trips. They offered delivery of breakfast which we took advantage of and enjoyed! Only downfall was the amount of stink bugs in the upper bedroom. It was horrible. Especially waking up in the middle of the night with them on you! I know this is a difficult thing to control as we have them at home but not to this extreme.

Beautiful place

We had an amazing short trip. The house was excellent, the only comment I have is that I don't believe it is biker friendly. I only say this because the driveway/road to get to the house is a very rough gravel road. We were on motorcycles and were not prepared or aware of this. The house itself was perfect!

Perfect view with all essentials

We absolutely loved this cabin from the view to the beautiful decor. It had everything we needed and we loved that we could bring our fur baby. We enjoyed drinking coffee on the front porch looking at the beautiful view and at night cooking dinner over the fire pit. We will definitely come back!

Very beautiful place to stay

The cabin is beautiful, but upon arrival, the lockbox was left open which startled me. My family and I had difficulty sleeping because of the open lockbox, but if not for that only reason, this is a beautiful place to stay.

Peaceful Getaway

We really enjoyed our stayed. The cabin is absolutely beautiful, peaceful, semi-secluded. The cabin was very clean and welcoming. Very tastefully decorated. Myself and family really enjoyed being within the surrounding nature. Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge are less than a 40 minute drive away. The host were so very accommodating and responsive. Will definitely continue to book with getfartheraway.com. I highly recommend this property .

Amazing Cabin

This place is amazing. So clean and the attention to detail is wonderful. The kitchen has everything you need. The beds are comfy. The views are unreal - you can sit and watch the “smoke” off the mountains and have a perfect view for the sunset. The hosts, Tammy and Sam, are super responsive. This listing really doesn’t do the property justice. Only knock is that it’s impossible to fill the jacuzzi tub up with enough hot water. The water gets cold before it’s even close to full. But when I complained, they had someone out there immediately to look at it so maybe they will fix that. You are close enough to the National Park to go hike, close enough to go white water rafting/zip lining, and close enough to Gatlinburg and PF, but far enough to escape the touristy feel of those two towns. If you are wondering if you should book this place - do it. It is absolutely beautiful.

Amazing views!

This cabin is amazing! The views are beautiful from the front porch or the master bedroom porch. The cabin very clean and is home away from home. It is a little further drive from Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but the views are totally worth it to stay in a cabin in the mountains away from the city!

Great house

We had an amazing time at this property. It was clean, really cute and well stocked with all linens and kitchen items you would ever need. We loved the coffee bar. The only thing I would note would be the drive up the hill to get there. Wow. That road needs paved desperately. We almost got stuck in the gravel several times and it was really hard on my tires. Outside of that a perfect getaway.

This was a great place to stay. Very clean. We did a lot of hiking in the area. We tried Gatlinburg a couple days but because we stayed close to spring break it was pretty busy. Not really our scene. We brought our dog with and he loved the vacation! Would book again.

It’ was okay. I enjoyed the house but the whole time I was there I was seeing bugs from outside non stop as if I left the door open all night. I could not sleep for two nights because bugs would keep crawling on me. The house was real clean & spacious.

Please allow us to introduce ourselves. We are Sam and Tammy ; We ourselves were once visitors to The Great Smoky Mountains. Sam is a native Swiss/German and had always the idea to offer and operate a “back to the basics” or Vacation retreat “holiday on a family owned and operated Farm”. We traveled all over the US to see where we want to settle. It took only one visit to realize that this is where we wanted to live, work and raise our children. We went back and forward , sold our home/company and moved to what we think is a most extraordinary place.
We are extremely proud to own and operate Stuetz Mountain Retreat, where you will receive top notch personal attention to make your stay a memorable one.
We are the Property manager of this unique "Black Bear Loft" Cabin.
