Peace on the mountain!

The cabin is a peaceful and quiet place to stay. We didn’t use the hot tub but it looked very inviting. Sitting on the wrap around porch was extremely relaxing. I recommend this cabin to anyone and will come back for another stay.

Perfect place for a quiet week away on the peaceful side of the mountains. The local people we met were very kind ,helpful, and welcoming to the area. The cabin was just as described. Pillows on the master bed on first floor were very hard but I did have my own pillow.

Stay at Bears Den

Cabin was beautiful. Very accurate description. Cleanliness was top notch. Kitchen was well equipped. Was pet friendly. Large porch with swings and gates that latched so Willow could be outside but confined. Would highly recommend.

Absolute gem!

We loved the paved road and driveway up to the cabin! It was super clean and our pup loved the porch. We were on a 19 night road trip and my dog kept finding all kinds of odd things left in carpets and on floors at hotels and other vrbos - but NOT at this property. It was CLEAN. On the porch, you feel you are sitting in the trees. It was wonderful! It was away from the craziness of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, but those were just a drive away. We went to Cades Cove and saw so much wildlife - go first thing in the morning if you can. The neighbors next to the cabin were wonderful and welcoming.
