Reviews

• Deana Harter - 3/16/2018
  Perfect! Clean cabin decorated with a rustic feel with bears all over, very cozy. Perfect for privacy in the hot tub. Close enough to grocery store, restaurants and shopping. The bed, oh my the bed is perfect! Best sleep ever!!! This cabin lived up to all of my wishes. We didn't want to leave. We hope to return.
• Kelly Cooke - 4/1/2018
  It was our honeymoon and it was the best! This Cabin had just enough space for me and the husband. Quite area too!! We will definitely be coming back!
• Frank Beyer - 4/1/2018
  Really enjoyed the cabin.
• Pamela Bordeaux - 5/30/2018
  Booking was easy and when we asked questions the response time was quick.
• Jeff Padgett - 6/14/2018
  The Bear's Den was exactly as described and we loved it. After one small email requesting that the shower head be fixed, it was awesome that it was fixed upon our return back to the cabin later that day. Would definitely rent from you again. Thank you.
• Mike Egeler - 7/18/2018
  had a great time at the cabin. only one glitch that was addressed reasonably quick, other than that very comfortable cabin . am seriously considering a return stay at the same place.
• Kim Verni - 8/12/2018
  Very nice cabin. No noise but nature we enjoyed ourselves.
• David Mace - 8/16/2018
  We love Bear's Dean it was very clean and the bed was so comfortable it was so nice to get in a good bed after a long day in the Mountains. We had everything we needed to cook a meal or BBQ outside. We also had a bear that came by daily. He would just walk down the road and go up in the woods. I think it was like you don't bother me and I want bother you. Over all this is the best cabin we have ever stayed in over the last 30 years we have been coming to the Smokey Mountains and the location is perfect. Thank You so much we will be back. David and Charlotte

• Anne Marie Zembrzuski - 9/16/2018

• Linder Richter - 10/21/2018
  Great location. Cabin was clean and comfortable.
• Paula Green - 11/4/2018
  We had a very nice time there. We loved the seclusion, but our cell service was spotty. We had it in some parts of the cabin, but not in others. There isn’t a dusk to dawn light, so you might want to bring a nightlight if you don’t like the dark.
• Sarah Ann Ragsdale - 11/17/2018
  Loved it!! Everything was great! Had a great time!!
• Paul Eyster - 11/17/2018

  Very nice cabin. Had everything we needed while on our trip. Would stay here again. The cabin was very clean when we arrived and easy to find. The staff of Smoky Cabins were very friendly and helpful. They responded quickly to my emails. Reservation were easy to make without all those extra fees other places charge made the stay more affordable.
• Annie Acevedo - 4/7/2019

• Kevin Steuer - 4/22/2019
  Was great clean cabin loved it.
• Cathy Minnis - 5/12/2019
  The cabin provides everything you need for a comfortable stay. Listen for the whip-poor-will every night and early morning! There was great WiFi but absolutely no cell service at the cabin although we have a Canadian provider so that could have been the issue. Overall a good stay and the hot tub was a nice treat.
• Cynthia Terry - 5/18/2019
  We absolutely loved our stay in this cabin! It was secluded and quiet and the location was great! We will definitely be staying here again!!
• Cindy Hammers - 6/18/2019
  We loved the quaint, cozy cabin. It was perfect for our 22nd Anniversary. It was clean and decorated so cute. It’s in a gated area, which was nice. We loved getting in the hot tub, listening to nature. The location was great! We even spotted a bear nestled in the woods. We’re so glad we chose this cabin.
• Davis Reed - 8/4/2019
  The Cabin was great! We enjoyed the hot tub and how clean everything was.

  The cabin was very nice. Cabin was clean and well kept. We would stay here again.
• Michael Pendleton - 9/10/2019
  Great as always! We love this cabin! The handle on the freezer door was broken. This wasn’t a problem for us. We just wanted to let you know. We’re looking forward to next year!
• Patricia Hehl - 9/20/2019
  Very cute, clean and private. Thank you, had a wonderful time.
• Patrick Harvath - 11/4/2019
  Excellent very nice thanks
• Michelle Preston - 11/17/2019
  Our cabin the “Bears Den” was the perfect little cabin for a couple to get away for a weekend. Positioned close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge made for a nice couple of day trips for both shopping in Pigeon Forge and enjoying Anakeesta in Gatlinburg. Our cabin had all the amenities you could want including a full kitchen, fireplace with wood supplied, king size bed with a full bathroom along with a jacuzzi on the back porch, outside seating and a charcoal grill. We’re looking forward to another stay very soon.
• Shannon Rose - 12/1/2019
  The cabin was very cute and cozy. Very impressed with the cleanliness of the cabin.
• Janice Hoffman - 12/21/2019
  We really enjoyed our 3 week stay in the Bear's Cabin! It was cozy, relaxing and very quiet. We utilized the washer/dryer and the full kitchen while we were there and we're grateful we had those options! We would stay there again in a heart beat!
• Rebecca Warner - 12/30/2019
  This was our first visit and we were not disappointed. The Bears Den was comfortable and met all of our needs. We are checking with our family about getting a larger cabin for all of us.
• Renee Keith - 1/26/2020
  Cabin was nice and cozy
• Timothy Tipton - 2/11/2020
  This cabin was very clean, private and had everything we needed for a perfect weekend. We will be back to the Bears Den.
• Jeremy Ardery - 3/22/2020

• Andrew Skinner - 5/25/2020
  Good cabin in a lovely remote location.... needed more fuzzy blankets though.
• Cindy Terry - 6/4/2020
  We love this cabin! The location is wonderful and secluded. It was very clean. We’ve been booking with Smoky Cabins for a few years and will continue to do so for all of our future trips. We had an awesome week! We already have a return trip planned for later this year!
• jacqueline deckard - 6/25/2020
  GREAT cabin, friendly staff & awesome shopping & dining options! Most relaxing vacation ever!
• Krassi Lazarova - 7/28/2020
  Very nice place, close to great trails, yet feels remote. Communication and instructions were awesome.
• Michael Overmyer - 8/8/2020
  Great quiet cabin close to Townsend, Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg but away from the noise!
• Ceri Sokol - 8/24/2020

  Very clean, private.
• Joe Gandara - 10/19/2020
  Awesome rental co to deal with, super awesome place to stay, pretty secluded, perfect for the two of us. (helpful hint): It was cool to be able to access the cabin easily from the park thru wears cove as well as the townsend way.
• Cassandra Mckenzie - 11/14/2020
  Everything was absolutely perfect about this cozy little cabin! We have stayed with smoky cabins the past 3 years and we will continue to book through them every year! If you are looking for a quiet and peaceful place to stay away from all the hustle and bustle but still only a few minutes away, this is the perfect place!
• Alison G - 11/19/2020
  We loved this place!! The only thing that could’ve been better is 2 recliners so we could relax a little more comfortable instead of 1 recliner & a small couch. We aren’t complaining though!
• Alice Shipman - 1/2/2021
  The cabin is very comfortable and decor is not overdone. We had everything we needed to cook our meals. When entering the cabin it smelled fresh and clean. The king size bed was clean and comfortable. There was plenty of firewood. The hot tub was clean. I had to call to ask a few questions and the person was very helpful.
• Brandon McElroy - 2/7/2021
  A very clean cabin. It’s very cozy. Had plenty of supplies as well as plenty of wood for the fire place. Easy to find and very peaceful.
• Rebekah Hunt - 2/16/2021
  This was a cute and cozy cabin. My husband and I had a very nice time. Would love to come again sometime.
• CICILY SHAULL - 3/9/2021
  We had an amazing time in the Bear's Den. It was very clean and cleaning supplies were left behind for us to use throughout our stay. The location was great, nice and peaceful and only about a 20 minute drive to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Soaking in the hot in the middle of the woods was just what we needed. Thank you for making my boyfriends birthday weekend special!
• Andrew Grigsby - 3/19/2021
  Very beautiful cabin
• Cindy Terry - 4/16/2021
  We loved our vacation at Bear’s Den! The cabin was very clean and the location and privacy was perfect! We will definitely be back soon!!
• Joey Crisp - 5/5/2021
  Great company our family has used smokycabins since I can remember. They have great cabins and are very customer service oriented. We are looking to book our next trip.
• Jamie Jensen - 5/15/2021
  Cute little cabin on the mountain side. Easy to get to and conveniently located close to pigeon forge, Gatlinburg, and Townsend. Would definitely visit again.
• Scott @ Jodi - 5/17/2021
  What a great little quiet place to hang your hat for a week. First off, the house keeping ladies do a darn good job. We've rented places that needed TLC as soon as we walked in...not this cabin. Location is just 3 miles or so to Townsend, convenient enough. We cook in mostly and this place had enough tools for the job I do. WiFi was good, as was the tub. No cell coverage but that's normal for us AT@T users..The only thing missing is...you guessed it, a view. But it was sooo quiet we didn't care. It's a keeper do again for us..
• Stephen Rickaby - 5/29/2021
  Really enjoyed the cabin. Everything was as advertised. Cabin was clean and well maintained. Location is quiet and plenty of space to other cabins in the lane so it's very private. Close to Townsend but not too close. Very handy to Wears Valley gsmp entrance.
• William McAlexander - 6/4/2021
  The cabin was very clean & cozy. The perfect size for 2 people with all the amenities needed for a relaxing get away. A great location that is private but still close to many of the great attractions of the Smokey Mountains.
• Nichole Ferguson - 6/18/2021
  Beautiful cabin! Loved the privacy! The owners are so helpful.
• Jeremiah Richards - 6/22/2021
  As I age, I'm learning to "take what I like, and leave the rest", and since no one likes complaints, I'll only share perhaps observations to better future stays. THIS cabin, Bears den, was quaint, and charming, and I'm not easily charmed. The town of Townsend is easy to navigate, and has many great stopping places, and points. Bears Den Cabin had MOST everything folks would need, and settling in for the weekend was easy. The bedroom had enough space for personal items, and the bed was just right, however I did feel like the center was a bit too dipped in, leaving you feeling on one side or the other like you can roll to the center of the dip. LoL. Hot tub was relaxing, and the views to the West, and Easterly directions, were serene. Lot's of Lightning bugs. Shower pressure was nice. No flat hair here! Kitchen is open, and the fireplace rocked. I do however wish there was an outside space for a "campfire", but understand that possibly due to the close area of the nearby foot-hills, it's a fire danger. Many folks are irresponsible, and we don't want anyone burning down our Beautiful Smokey's. Parking is easy. Lots of wildlife, in the mountains to observe. Don't be a knucklehead and try to pet em though, as you're likely to lose an arm, or hand. At the cabin there are plenty of singing songbirds to chill to as you soak in the hot-tub. That about sums it up.
• Nicole Windows - 6/28/2021
  Very clean. Great amenties, kitchen has basically everything you need to have a home cooked meal. Bathroom is great, made me feel very luxurious. Cabin is very cozy & homey. Peaceful surroundings. Check in & out process is was made extremely simple. Cabin was easy to find. Definetley would come back for another stay.
• Rut Crowley - 7/8/2021
  We had a fantastic time in Bear's Den! The cabin was very spacious and super clean. The linens and towels were great! Had a lot of kitchen utensils and anything else you could need. We enjoyed it tremendously !!
• Stephanie SeGraves - 7/25/2021
  Bear’s Den was a dream! We absolutely loved our stay and would definitely come back. It was in a very relaxing setting and had everything we needed for our stay!
• Rebecca Wheeler - 9/5/2021
  We really enjoyed the Bears Den cabin. It is conveniently located between Pigeon Forge and Townsend center. Trailhead steak and trout in Townsend is an excellent place to eat and there are nice shops near by. We found those due to the location of the cabin that we may not have stumbled on. The cabin is private and relaxing. Very clean and nicely decorated. The deck and hot tub is where we spent most evenings. We cooked out several evenings using the grill provided. The staff is very courteous and helpful! We couldn’t have asked for more. We had rented another cabin that was cancelled on us less than a month before our trip and was paid in full as that owner supposedly sold. We were frantic to find another and found this one and glad we did! We will be back!!
• Dolores Beynor - 9/11/2021
  Everything was clean and cozy
• Terry - 10/3/2021
  Very clean and a quiet location. Great place to relax.
• Jamie Beck - 10/14/2021
  We enjoyed our stay very much. We hope to stay here again.
• Ashley Popp - 10/18/2021
  Such a cute little cabin. Was very clean when we arrived. We enjoyed our stay very much and will do so again next time we travel to the area
• CHERYL MAYS - 10/30/2021
  Great peaceful cabin! Our new favorite. Definitely will book this cabin again.
• Joe Gandara - 11/9/2021
  Another awesome time at a very cool cabin
• Kimberly Earnest - 12/1/2021
  Great cabin. Perfect spot - secluded but still close enough to town and two entrances to the Smoky Mountains. Owner was very responsive.
• Lauren Campbell - 1/9/2022
  Cozy cabin. We had a great time.
• Terry Conway - 1/12/2022
  We love this place. Perfect for a couple get away. Bed is so wonderful!
• Taegan Metcalf - 2/14/2022
  Nice cabin. Perfect for two people!
• Baley Henson - 2/28/2022
  Wonderful!
• Beverly Donaldson - 3/12/2022
  This cabin was very nice. We enjoyed our stay for our 50th anniversary and my birthday. It is located in a very quiet and semi-private area. It is a small cabin but plenty of room for 2 people. The back deck with hot tub, charcoal grill and fire pit was wonderful. Will definitely use Smoky Cabins again.
• Réna S - 3/21/2022
  Bear’s Den ranks as one of my favorite cabins Smoky Cabins offers! It’s in a great location and is the perfect size for a couple to get away. The homey touches throughout also are beautiful! Remember to bring your laundry detergent since there is a washer & dryer in the cabin. Also, it’s good to know there is absolutely no reception in this cabin location, so it’s perfect for an electronic free escape! This cabin received a four instead of five as the bed and pillows are below par for a good night’s sleep. I’ve informed management though and I’m sure they’re working toward a resolution!

  Management Response: New pillows ordered and bed is being checked as we spoke for repair. There should hav been laundry detergent at the cabin so we will replace that as well. Thanks for the heads up!!
• Steven Canfield - 4/13/2022
  A great cabin with great interior decorations. Very comfortable and was a welcome “temporary home” to come back to in the evening!
• Gloria Stout - 4/18/2022
  Beautiful secluded cabin in the mountains! This was by far one of the best places I’ve ever stayed. It was absolutely pristine.
• Cynthia Terry - 5/14/2022
  The cabin was clean and cozy and had everything we needed. We loved the private location. Bear’s Den is my favorite cabin and we will definitely be coming back! We’ve been booking with Smoky Cabins for several years and highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a cabin to rent!
• Susan Vila - 6/26/2022
  I have stayed with smoky cabins many times. This time was no different. We loved our cabin everything was fresh and clean. We had no problems. We will be back again soon!
• Carmen Dominguez - 7/1/2022
  The cabin was wonderful. Everything we needed. Enough towels was a plus. We've stayed at other VRBO homes and what they say is not what you get. This was definitely everything it said plus. The location in the woods next to a mountain was perfect. It was far enough off the main road that you pretty much did not hear traffic. The road the cabin is on is private so not much traffic at all. We loved the relaxed feel of it all. The hot tub was a bonus. We liked that it was close enough to everything but not in the middle of it all. Loved it! Definitely would recommend. Would definitely stay there again.
• Jane Dowell - 8/3/2022
  The cabin was awesome! You guys make it seem like home with everything you need for a perfect getaway. So peaceful!! We will back :)
• Keith Schreffler - 8/25/2022

• Deborah Smith - 4/8/2023
  Love everything about this Cabin. We will definitely stay here again. Very clean and well decorated. Everything worked as should and our stay was wonderful. Easily accessible.
• Elaina Lavdas - 4/12/2023
  This cabin is picture perfect! The attention to detail makes this place adorable. It was very well equipped. Close to restaurants and shopping in Townsend. I have no complaints. I look forward to staying at Bears Den again.
• Jeff Kraengel - 4/22/2023
  Very comfortable, spacious and decorated so nicely. Close to Townsend shopping, Cades Cove and Pidgeon Forge. We highly recommend this cabin.
• Alan Green - 5/1/2023
  Great place to stay. Only giving 4 stars because the shower is awkward to use. . . but plenty of hot water! Comfortable bed. Good wi-fi. Peaceful.

  Management Response: Thank you for staying at Bears Den and leaving feedback. The shower is just a normal shower stall with a normal shower head.
• Karen Zaccor - 7/9/2023
  This might be the best cabin we have stayed in in the Smokies--and we have stayed in quite a few. Why is it so good? Three things we look for are a hot tub, a bedroom separated from the kitchen area with a door so the early riser doesn't disturb the late riser, and seating that allows both of us to stretch out and be comfortable. Check on all three and we really loved the armchairs. Added pluses: the kitchen was roomier than many and well equipped, the bed was large and very comfortable, and the location close to both the Townsend and Gatlinburg entrances to the Smokies is perfect. We will be looking to stay here again for sure.
• James A Stoller - 7/17/2023
  Nice cabin, great location. We were so excited when we saw a bear walk across the lane as we pulled up to our cabin.
• Mare Hart - 7/24/2023
  The cabin was adorable and well equipped. We enjoyed the propane fire pit every night. Bed was comfortable. Good shower too
• Lisa Morgan - 8/11/2023
  Very nice. We definitely would go back.
• Paula Groves - 8/22/2023
  Had a wonderful stay!! Third time we have stayed in this adorable cabin. Hope to return again soon.
• Tamara Waltz - 9/17/2023
  We loved it! Great location! Privacy in nature but close to GSMNP, pigeon forge, gatlinburg, and other towns of interest! The cabin was lovely. Comfortable, like home! Great decor and all the amenities we needed. We would define stay again, however, bringing our dog was am exception this time so I'm not sure that he could stay with us again. We always travel with him. I'll inquire. The staff at the office were friendly. We had an HVAC mechanic at the cabin during our stay. We were headed out for the day and he was super cool about staying with our german shepherd! He even called me on my cell to let me know that he was leaving and that the dog and cabin were ok and secure! That company is a keeper!
• Cynthia Terry - 9/26/2023
  We love this cabin, especially the location! We always book our vacations with Smoky Cabins. We have stayed in several of the different cabins and they are always wonderful. We will continue to always book with Smoky Cabins!
• Steve Greenawalt - 10/13/2023
  Great location. Well stocked kitchen. Very comfortable.
• Thomas Woollet - 11/12/2023
  We had a wonderful time! The cabin was clean and decor was awesome.
• Katelyn White - 12/4/2023
  The cabin was wonderful! So nice and cozy. The Christmas decorations were beautiful. The cabin was clean and sanitized. We will be back!
• Shelley Taylor - 1/28/2024
  Only one thing could make it better. A different shower head. It splatters water everywhere and pins you against the wall if you want to stand under it. Needs to be replaced.

  Management Response: We will take a look at the shower head to see if we feel it needs to be replaced. Sounds like it has a strong flow. I'm pretty sure that it is adjustable. Thank you for mentioning it.
• Morris Wilson - 2/4/2024
  Beautiful cabin Loved the location
• Jo Evelyn Smith - 2/12/2024
  We have stayed with Smoky Cabins for years and love every year when its time to come to the mountains for our resting vacation. This cabin was wonderful. Clean Very cozy and comfortable. The bed was wonderful. Great place to walk the dog also. Will definitely stay in this one again!
• Autumn Nelson - 3/15/2024
  We loved Bears Den, this cabin feels like home. The location was very nice and quiet. This was the best cabin I've ever stayed in and we will definitely be staying at this cabin again in the future.
• Karen Zaccor - 3/30/2024
  We love Bear's Den for its great location, comfortable seating (LOL!), overall layout and how it is supplied for food preparation. The hosts are so accommodating! A big storm knocked out power for most of a day and Internet was not going to be back for several more days. Obviously that was not our hosts' fault, but Cathy actually relocated us once it became clear the Internet at Bear's Den would not be right back on, which I needed for work. We are so appreciative and since we come to the Smokies often and it's so valuable to know you have a host who is going to go out of their way for you, we will be looking to rent places for them in the future.
• Cynthia Terry - 4/27/2024
  We have been booking with y’all for several years and every cabin is wonderful! Bear’s Den is my favorite for the private location! We will continue to book all our cabins with you!
• marina odintsova - 5/29/2024
  Great!!
• Christine Breneman - 6/7/2024
  We really enjoyed our stay! Cozy and quiet describes this cabin perfectly. Only downside was the shower. We would stay here again.
• Jane Baylor - 7/20/2024
  Nice cozy cabin with everything we needed. Saw mama bear and 3 cubs just down road. Loved our visit. Only drawback lack of quality full service restaurants in Townsend. I don't cook on vacation. This certainly not rental's fault but probably won't return because of this.

  Management Response: Townsend is a quaint little town with lots of homegrown type restaurants and shops. Most people love Townsend due to its lack of commercialism and quaintness and proximity to the Great Smoky Mountains.
• Wendy Enderle - 10/15/2024
  Cabin was cute and clean! We loved the jacuzzi as well.
• Mackenzie Harry - 10/18/2024
  We had such a great time! The cabin is cute and very clean.
• Camella McClain - 10/23/2024
  I am pleased with the whole experience using your agency to rent the cabin. The emails you sent were so thorough and helpful. The cabin was great, and it was just right for us. The housekeeping did a great job preparing for our visit. We will definitely recommend SmokyCabins to friends and family. The cabin was so cute, cozy and welcoming. Thank you for a great experience from start to finish
• Rob Brown - 11/11/2024
  We enjoyed our stay at this cozy cabin. It was good location for everything we liked to do,
• Mike Crone - 11/29/2024
  No issues all good
• Kate - 12/15/2024
  Bears Den was a great little cabin for a rest stop on our way to Florida for the winter. We are grateful for the dog friendly option. The Christmas decor was a nice touch. God bless.
