Reviews

• Robert Estes - 6/1/2024
  We really enjoyed our stay at Bear Meade. It really fit our needs very well. This is the second time we’ve stayed at Bear Meade and will again when we need a two bedroom and two bath. We love the access it offers for Cades Cove. We have stayed at other cabins that Smoky Cabins has and have always been very pleased.
• Zach Bowles - 5/23/2024
  Everything was awesome! The support staff that helped after a bear found our porch the first night was great and super friendly! 100% will look to you guys for future stays!
• Wendy Clayton - 5/12/2024

• Kelly Crockett - 3/30/2024
  Great location, cozy, clean, we loved the hot tub!
• Cherri Abner - 3/27/2024
  We loved our time in this Cabin. The view from the front deck was beautiful and so very peaceful. The cabin was clean and well cared for. The upstairs TV room had super comfy chairs to read or watch TV in. It is a bit of a drive to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge but it was a stunning trip through the national park so we didn't mind it at all.
• James Larrauri - 3/21/2024
  Smoky Cabins has been wonderful to us. We have had multiple stays and the cabins along with management have been great!

• Tammy Seese - 7/29/2023
  Wonderful cabin in a fabulous location. We have been using Smoky Cabins to book our vacation cabins for 10 years, have always been very happy with the cabins rented. Great places at great prices and very clean.
• Ruth - 7/12/2023
  My husband and I and our twin 5 year olds loved this cabin and would definitely stay here again! The girls loved having a loft bedroom and their own living room, the porch setting, the stuffed bears, and the hot tub. My husband and I loved the overall setup, having a door from our room onto the porch, the hot tub, the kitchen stocked with dishes/pots/utensils/etc. The space was perfect for our family. It was clean and well setup. It’s also close to the neighbors, but still feels quiet and secluded because it’s in the woods. Note that the driveway was fairly steep, though our van handled it just fine. We only had one problem with the upstairs bathtub leaking into the downstairs bathroom, but management was able to fix it the next day; the fact that my husband took a video of the leak really helped them figure out the problem. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay, would recommend this cabin, and would stay here again!
• Melanie Ikerman - 7/10/2023
  Cabin was perfect for our weekend away.
• Ron Eddleman - 7/6/2023
  This place was perfect! We experienced a great deal of traffic getting through the park and were quite disappointed on that. We can fight traffic in Atlanta. Consequently, we did not want to go into Pigeon Forge or Gatlinburg. Townsend was perfect. Lots of really good places to eat without going to national chains. The cabin was superb. Super clean. The kitchen was the most equipped I’ve ever seen, and I cook a lot and have been staying in cabins for many years. Beds were comfortable. The loft living area was great. The porch was great. Totally private and in the woods. I would love to stay here again. The management was also quite responsive.
• Teresa Marcum - 7/4/2023
  We enjoyed our stay at Bear Meade cabin very much. The porch across the entire front of cabin was a delight. Wish it would of had washer and dryer at cabin.
• James Fennell - 6/7/2023
  Nice cabin. Very clean.
• Rena Wilson - 5/19/2023
  Another great week at Bear Meade 🐻 This makes our 5th stay here. We celebrated our 45th anniversary and got to spend time with our 2 grand daughters. We saw a total of 28 bears in Cades Cove this time. Can’t wait to come back!
• Linda Caimano - 5/3/2023
  Another wonderful week at Bear Meade!!
• Kelli Lindsey - 4/24/2023

• Rena Wilson - 1/15/2023
  Bear Meade was absolutely wonderful! This was our third time staying here. The cabin was spotless and had everything you could possibly want. The beds were super comfy and the fireplace was great on the cold snowy mornings. We had a wonderful time and will be returning again soon.
• Debra Ewing - 11/28/2022
  Cabin was wonderful! Beds were comfortable. Enjoyed the vacation immensely.
• Susan - 9/18/2022
  Lovely and quiet. Very nice and well appointed inside
• The Eaddy’s - 9/14/2022
  Bear Meade is a very welcoming and comfortable cabin. From the fall decorations that greeted you at the door, to the well stocked kitchen and the comfortable beds, you are made to feel right at home. The location is so close to Cades Cove that you can visit in the morning, return to the cabin for lunch and go back later in the day to see the Cove in the afternoon light. You can’t ask for anything better!
• Cheryl Fryberger - 9/11/2022
  Beautiful cabin and setting. Quiet yet stl close to town. Directions given to us were great. Overall very happy with the cabin and management keeping in touch through email.
• Ina Marie - 9/6/2022
  We were very happy with our stay at Bear Meade! The cabin is very nice, well cared for, and well cleaned after previous guests. It is nice to feel so remote, but to still be so close to Townsend and local amenities. We will definitely be back!
• Jamie Jensen - 8/27/2022
  Beautiful cabin! Quiet and serene. Driveway kind of a "bear" pun intended. Great owners and management.
• Kelli Lysek - 8/7/2022

• Tiffany Crites - 3/25/2022
  Loved the cabin! It was well stocked with many pots/pans and extra cookware. Perfect place to relax
• Alexandra Lussier - 3/20/2022
  Really great cabin. The hot tub was nice, especially since we had a few cold nights, and even our 10 year-old had fun. The place feels really secluded and quiet, yet Townsend is only 5 minutes away, with places to eat, a grocery store, gas stations, etc. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge are each about 20-30 minutes away, and an entrance to Smoky Mountain National Park is just on the other end of Townsend.
• Michael Burdette - 3/6/2022
  Cabin was great. 5 stars if it had a washer/dryer.
• Ronald Crider - 2/21/2022
  Great cabin will stay here again
• Paulisha Gooden - 1/30/2022

• Jennifer Wilder - 12/23/2021
  Cabin exactly as described, very comfortable and homey. I loved the fireplace and porch swings, the kids loved the hot tub and large tvs.
• Crystal Moffett - 12/5/2021
  Bear Meade is a beautiful cabin and made us feel right at home! We loved the huge porch & sitting areas, plus the hot tub. The kitchen was fully equipped with everything you need to cook a meal. This is our 3rd time staying with Smoky Cabins and we recommend it to everyone and plan to continue staying with them in the future.
• Robert Helriegel - 11/5/2021
  Love this cabin.
• Nora Rudisille - 10/23/2021
  We absolutely loved this cabin! It was the perfect size & layout & beautiful. Peaceful location. We have stayed in quite a few cabins in State & National parks & this is one of the nicer ones we have been at. Enjoyed hot tub also.
• Rebekah Barrom - 8/18/2021
  Overall, a nice place to stay.
• Nathan Hodges - 7/9/2021
  The cabin was very nice and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay! We loved the deck/porch. It was wonderful to be able to eat on it every evening. It was so nice to be so near to the park! We loved staying in Tranquil Townsend and thankful we were NOT staying in Gatlinburg! We ended up in Gatlinburg a couple of times and it was CRAZY BUSY!!
• Daniel Marciante - 6/7/2021
  Loved the cabin. Perfectly apportioned, very clean, quiet, loved the porch and rockers.
• Janice Roder - 5/14/2021
  We loved Bear Meade Cabin! Our favorite was the huge front porch that put you in the trees with the many song birds. Inside, was clean and well appointed. Slept like a baby in the memory foam beds!
• Rodger Riggs - 5/7/2021
  Enjoyed our stay in a well stocked clean well located cabin with great amenities
• Ginger Coffey - 4/18/2021
  Bear Meade offers all the amenities of home away from home. The spacious dining table, multiple seating areas, king bedrooms on separate levels (each with full bath), large wrap around deck and outdoor hot tub fulfill every vacation need. This cabin features three TV's and two fireplaces and a well stocked kitchen. This was my second stay and I would definitely return!

• Michelle Hornsby - 4/10/2021

  Our cabin was clean, a beautiful location and warm and cozy. It would be great if light weight throws were available to sit on the porch in the chilly evenings.
• James Majors - 9/13/2020
  The video is a good representation. We stayed to run the 1/2 marathon and a visit to Gatlinburg. Convenient for both. Beds were very comfortable. Comfortable beds. 4 plus.

  Absolutely a dream come true!
• Michael Angelo - 8/30/2020

• Brian Cope - 7/16/2020
  This is our second time renting Bear Meade. Just like the first, we loved our stay. The cabin feels like home vs a hotel. It is very roomy and welcoming. The area is quiet, peaceful, and clean. The pool is just a nice walk down from the cabin. Can't wait to come back again.

  Our family had a great experience staying at Bear Meade. The pictures of the cabin do not do it justice. It was amazing. Our stay was everything we thought it would be and even more...very clean, organized, and well pleased with the price.
• Krystal Walton - 2/17/2019
  Great stay, sadly we didn't want to leave. The cabin had everything and anything we needed. My only advice is for the next guest to arrive in the day time, finding the cabin at night can be challenging.
• Patricia Tunnell - 2/9/2019
  We loved the cabin! It was clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well supplied. We had perfect weather and the scenic rides were beautiful.

• Jeff Clark - 12/17/2018
  Awesome cabin and close to everything while being in a secluded area of the Smokey Mountains.
• Stephen Middleton - 12/7/2018
  We had a wonderful stay. I've been using Smoky Cabins for quite a few years now and I don't plan on changing. The Bear Meade cabin was very pleasant. I would suggest replacing the mattress in the downstairs bedroom, it's done! I look forward to booking another stay soon.

  Management Response: We will definitely take a look at that mattress. Thanks Stephen!!
• Sherry Davis - 11/5/2018
  We love this cabin. So nice and comfy.

• Rebekah Pedersen - 9/28/2018
  We loved this cabin. It was spacious enough for our 5 person family. We loved watching a movie upstairs in loft and playing games around the table downstairs. The covered patio was a peaceful place to sip coffee in the morning and listen to the rain. The only thing I would add is a washer/dryer.
• Becky Eversole - 8/28/2018
  We loved every minute! Always do! Your rentals are so nice!

• LONNIE SUTTON - 7/2/2018
  We loved the cabin; however, this cabin did not have a washer or dryer. We spent two days doing our laundry at a local place and spent a great deal of money. Otherwise, everything was great!

• Charles DeMott - 2/28/2018
  This is our third rental through Smoky Cabins in the past year and each one has been superb. Our stay at Bear Meade was no exception. The cabin was cozy and well maintained. The location in Townsend was perfect for the time of relaxation we were seeking. We highly recommend Bear Meade and Smoky Cabins.
• Mark Hammett - 1/3/2018

• Shelley Hardy - 12/30/2017
  This place was amazing....everything you need with a wonder view!
• Daryl Deakle - 12/26/2017
  All was great. Good appliances, good dishes, all amenities worked well. TV's, bathrooms, etc. Just one item needs attention. See below.

  Management Response: We will take a look at the mattress and see if it needs attention. Thank you!!
• Daryl Deakle - 12/23/2017
  The cabin was great. We stayed for 5 nights. Beautifully decorated with good appliances and plenty of dishes for cooking anything from casseroles to just warming items. this two bedroom is perfect for a small family and one or two children. We were there the week before Christmas and therefore, could not take advantage of the hot tub, due to the cooler weather. The porch is very nicely decorated. Our only concern was the steep driveway. We do not live in the mountains and mountain driveways are always a concern. Everything else was GREAT!
• Edwin Graff - 12/17/2017
  Had a great time easy to find and well kept up.
• Jim Davis - 11/6/2017
  Very nice,we enjoyed our stay.

  Management Response: Thank you so much Jim!!
