Cozy mountain stay with comfy resting places, fun decor, nice showers, and a kitchen fully stocked with pots/pans, flatware, utensils, etc. Great location close to Oconaluftee Visitor Center and Harrah’s Cherokee, but quiet. Really enjoyed our stay here!
Had a Great time The host was super friendly and helpful it was very clean and very comfy and close to everything very quiet and friendly and the hot tub was very clean and nice will book again thank you
The cabin was clean and comfortable. It reminded me of staying at my grandmother's house. We had everything we needed. Very close to all attractions and the casino. Would definitely stay again. Having our furbaby with us was a bonus.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Goldilocks! It is just off a major route but in the wooded surroundings you’d think you were much further away than you were. We will recommend this place for anyone wanting to visit the area.
It was a great place to stay!! It was a very clean place to stay as well!! We would suggest the Goldilocks to everyone! Enjoyed seeing some of the local things around in that area and Bryson City!
Cabin was clean. Hot tub was clean as well. Cleanest hot tub I have had staying anywhere. My grandsons loved the outdoors and I loved the private property knowing there was not much traffic on our road. Rhe swing was a great relaxation stop while watching the boys.
Jon was very nice and accommodating, the furnishings was absolutely beautiful. It was cold and raining during our stay, but we stayed very warm and cozy. It was a very needed break and spent some quality time with a good friend im sure we'll be back!!
Fantastic weekend at the Bear-Den! Very clean and met all of our needs. We loved how close it was to the main highway and Cherokee (less than 5 mins). Easily accessible! Jacuzzi was a huge plus. We will be staying again!

Beautiful holiday home!
We absolutely loved the house. Jon was a perfect host and gave us valuable information on the area. The home's location was perfect and nearby places we wished to visit. The furniture was super comfortable and the accommodation had everything we needed! We will definitely be back for another visit!
Amazing property near Great Smokey Mountains National Park
We stayed at this property for three nights. We wanted to be close to the National Park so we could hike and then come back to a place in the evening to cook dinner and relax. This property was excellent with tons of amenities and it serves us beautifully. We definitely recommend this property to others who are considering staying in the area and we would gladly stay again!
The stay was excellent everything was as described online. The area was nice very safe and ample parking. All equipment were in working order. The cabin is very well situated close to restaurants, casino and local attractions. We will stay there again.
