Other Things to Note:
★ STARTER KITS ★
We do supply a starter kit including bar soap, liquid dish soap, dish tabs for dishwasher, toilet paper, laundry pod and paper towels. This will prevent you to have to go to the store the first night but plan to buy more so you are covered during the full length of your stay.
★ CLEANING & SANITIZATION ★
Health, safety, and well-being of our guests are of utmost importance. For this reason, we use a thorough cleaning process after each check-out.
★ PETS ALLOWED ★
We love those little (and not so little) furry bundles of joy. (Contact us about the additional fees)
★ NO SMOKING INSIDE ★
Please refrain from smoking inside the home! Any smoking evidence will result in odor removal and furniture cleaning fees.
★ NO PARTIES/EVENTS ★
We kindly ask you to treat our home as your own to preserve its pristine condition for future guests and your return visits.
★ ADDITIONAL ACCOMMODATION ★
Traveling in a larger group, or your preferred dates are already taken? You'll be happy that we offer additional accommodation in The Smokies. Please browse our host profile for the complete list of our listings.
* No trailers are allowed on the property.
★ KIDS ★
As parents, we know that traveling with the kiddos requires additional luggage. To simplify your stay, we have a pack and play and a high chair for your convenience.
★ NATURE ★
Being in nature means you may encounter some wildlife. Inside the cabin, you might see some harmless insects despite our regular pest control process. They sometimes make their way in between cleans but rest assured that the place is treated regularly. Also, if you are lucky enough to spot any bears, raccoons, turkeys, or mice outside, please keep them there! They are all attracted to the smell of cooking food and garbage. We highly recommend you don't invite them to dinner and DO NOT FEED THEM.
Thank you very much for your understanding.

Papa Bear Lodge Family Trip
We stayed a week and the accommodations were perfect for us. 5 bedrooms and a rollout couch gave us all a comfortable place to sleep. The pool table, air hockey and arcade game, all were a hit. There was a hot tub, but it was too hot (summer) for us to use. The kitchen was fully supplied with pretty much anything you need to cook (even a slow cooker), and essentials for a good cup of coffee. We really enjoyed our time together and will stay here again if the number of family members going stays the same.
