Great Two Night Getaway!
This cabin was perfect for my family to go hangout in the mountains for a couple of nights. It was a short drive away from the Gatlinburg strip, had tons of fun activities inside the cabin, and was extremely clean. We brought our French bulldog and he had a great time. Host was very timely with responses. We have no complaints. Even got to see a bear on our way leaving!

Amazing weekend getaway
We had an amazing stay at the cabin. Clean, and well maintained. Close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge, we were able to find many things to do either way. The game room was definitely a hit with our family.

Big Bear Shack
The house was as good or better than what was advertised. The wife and I brought the daughter and family at first we had to watch going downstairs because we would get ambushed with all the nerf guns but the kids had a blast and we could go to other floors to relax.It would be nice if you could put threshold ramps at ramp door and one going from living room to deck.The 2nd floor was accessible for my wheel chair and brought my own shower chair. Everything worked out great Thank you

Fun birthday get-away- pet friendly
Location and cabin is amazing and clean. Fun games and amenities. Super pet friendly with toys and bowls included, which was much appreciated. Fully stocked and beautiful kitchen…everything you need to stay in. Would book again. Only down side was cleaning crew showed up over an hour and 20 minutes before checkout. Our checkout was 10am; but the cleaning crew showed up at 8:40ish and waited in the tiny parking lot until we left at 9:30….which made the checkout kinda stressful and uncomfortable, but that has nothing to do with the host. The host was beyond incredible. Just make sure you leave 2 to 3 hours before checkout apparently.
