Great location in the woods, easy check-in, and very attentive communication!

Very nice cabin and is very close to both gatlinburg and pigeon forge, but is very secluded and well maintained. Would use the cabin again if we ever come back to the area.

Very quiet and peaceful location close to an entrance to the Great Smokey national park and not far from town. It was comfortable and everything was ready for our use. It’s a true cabin in the woods and cozy for two.

Rental experience was easy.

Peaceful cabin in the Smokies. We loved the location…less than 30 minutes from Gatlinburg and Cades Cove. Great amenities. Everything that you need for a comfortable stay. Plus we got to bring our beloved dog with us. Justin is a great host that communicates often to make sure your stay is perfect. We will stay here again.

Our best Airbnb experience so far. Justin is super attentive, but we didn’t end up needing much assistance since the place was in perfect shape. It was fully equipped with everything we needed for our stay (cookware, dish soap, towels, wifi, etc). The location is superb. It is very private and you can reach all major attractions/trails in the area within about 30 minutes.

Very clean cabin! Has hot tub on back deck. Just perfect!!!

Great location to everything. Perfect for when you need a getaway. Even when staying in, the cabin has all you need. Thanks Justin for allowing us to stay in your beautiful cabin. Would recommend to anyone needing to getaway to the mountains.

We had a glass of wine (or two) and listened to nature on the back deck. Enjoyed it tremendously. After hiking the Gatlinburg trail (only dog friendly trail around due to the bears) we took a nice hot tub soak. The TVs had tons of roku channels and the place was clean and charming. We celebrated our 25th anniversary and had a wonderful time. We will be back!

The stay was great. It was spacious and cozy. The perfect couples getaway before the start of a busy sports season.

We had a great time here. Everything was really easy. From booking, to checking in and out. Very nice cabin. Would definitely come back!!

We had a beautiful stay here. The cabin was perfect and homey. We really enjoyed the bathtub and the views and the location was perfect !

Cabin is absolutely gorgeous. only bad thing I could say is I didn't want to leave.

Adorable cabin right on the side of the smoky mountain. Dolly the local bear made a sighting moments before our cabin road. Perfect place for exploring everything the area has to offer. thank you for making our visit easy.

We had a fantastic stay at the Cozy Bear Cabin. It was very clean, super spacious, and exactly like the photos. The location was great, the kitchen and bathrooms were well stocked, and we loved the hot tub and pool table. Would absolutely stay again.

The cabin is fantastic! The decor and layout was great. Online pictures are accurate and it’s even better when you see it. Superb communications with the property manager, very clean and well stocked. We also saw Dolly the bear both days while there too what a beauty!

Great cabin

We had a great stay and the kids loved the hot tub, pool table, and arcade machine. Close to many local attractions, will definitely be back!

Close to everything while being far enough away. The waterfall into the bathtub was a delightful surprise. Quiet area, easy to find. Just what I needed. Well definitely return!

My 1st time in the mountains and this was the absolute perfect place for peaceful and quiet. Justin hands down one of the best host

My husband and I stayed here with our dog and we all had a great time. Its very beautiful and it was super clean, had all the kitchen necessities we needed for staying 5 days! The hot tub and the jacuzzi tub were perfect! Justin was a very nice host and whenever I messaged him answered right away! I definitely recommend this cabin and would love to stay here again!

This rental was Amazing! Secluded but yet right in the middle of Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg, very easy access to both. Cabin has all amenities you can think of and the king bed is super comfy. Best of all we got to experience this wonderful vacation with our two lil fur babies. Thank you for offering such a clean and welcoming stay and allowing pets. Will definitely stay again!

When my husband and I arrived at the cabin, there was a sign on the door saying it had been fumigated and the air inside was deadly until 8pm. We were told that check in could be after 4pm but after talking to Justin he ensured us that everything was normal but just to come back after 8pm. We came back at 10pm after an evening at dinner and the cabin was a nightmare inside. Mattresses bare and leaning against the wall, dirty towels and sheets on the floor, a baby bottle in the fridge, etc. We informed Justin and he tried to ensure us that the cabin had been cleaned and that everything was normal and asked if we wanted cleaners to come back to tidy up. Even as I sent him pictures of the cabin he denied that it hadn’t been cleaned and that the fumes weren’t unsafe. At this point, it is 10:30pm and the cabin was just plain gross and possibly toxic inside. We left and got a hotel that night and a different cabin the next day. I would not recommend staying at this location as it is completely unreliable. I’ve never had a poor experience in several years of using Airbnb but this was truly a worst case scenario situation and I would not wish it upon anyone else.

The cabin is absolutely beautiful and in the perfect location. All amenities were fantastic, and we couldn't help but want to stay at the cabin rather than going off to attractions nearby! We felt safe and comfortable our entire stay. The host has amazing communication, and we can't wait to come back in the future!

Such a beautiful cabin!

The cabin was perfect for our family of 3! It was very clean and cozy! Great location to visit the Smokey Mountains!

Absolutely beautiful place.

The cabin is nice and was clean and just as described

This place is perfect! Book it! My husband and our two small dogs had a wonderful time. It’s close to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Ford so we checked out both. The cabin was super clean and the hot tub was wonderful! Justin is also very quick to respond. Great Host!

This cabin is amazing. Super clean, awesome views, super cozy!!! Justin is very responsive!! Will definitely be back!!!

Cabin is cozy and private with nice deck to relax. We stayed only two nights so were out a lot of the time but look forward to staying again when we can enjoy the cabin amenities more. Loved the upstairs/downstairs configuration. Felt spacious and was well stocked with kitchen supplies which were important to us since we brought food to make our own meals. Everything was clean and loved how cozy the living room was! Would love to stay here in the colder months and relax with a a good movie and a glass of wine. Justin was beyond communicative and even sent us a guidebook ahead of time that allowed us to prepare for our stay. He was super helpful from booking to check-out!

We had very good and memorable time will defiantly come back over and over Justin is very good host will see you next time

My wife and I really enjoyed this property with our son and pup. The check in process was very easy. All communication was easy with the owners (very friendly). The cabin was very clean and well kept. Will be staying again.

Great little place. Perfect for anyone trying to get away.

Cute little cabin in the woods! Justin was professional and timely in his communications and even sent over a coupon book! Hosted a small family dinner for my aunt’s milestone birthday and she loved it - we all had a great time!

We had a relaxing stay at Lazy Bear Lodge. Cute and cozy cabin with great location.

My husband and I had a wonderful time at the cabin for a short getaway. It was close to all the attractions but secluded and quiet.

Very nice place to decompress after the fun hectic visits to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

My Wife and I had a wonderful stay at Lazy Bear Lodge. We even brought our dog Koda with us and he really enjoyed the cabin as well. We loved how conveniently located this cabin was to the Smoky Mtn National Park and it was only a 30 min drive into town. Lastly we loved how this cabin was tucked away in the smokys and out of the hustle and bustle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. A much needed relaxing trip.

My husband and I brought our 16 year old son to the area and found this cabin to be a good fit for our stay. The cabin was great and had that comfortable rustic cabin feel at the same time. We had so much fun in the evenings after our busy day playing pool! We highly recommend. My little 4 cylinder car made it up the hill but I was hanging on! Lol

Renting through Vrbo was very easy. Check-in really doesn’t get any easier than what is set up. The cabin is located in Wears Valley, only a short trip to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The National Park is also extremely close. Literally 10 minutes from the cabin, and you’re in the National Park. There were no issues with cleanliness, here. There were 4 towels and wash cloths provided. The bed was very comfortable. They provide bottom sheet, top sheet, and a blanket. There are extra linens and pillows in the bedroom closet. If you are like my wife and have to have lots of blankets for weight while you sleep, be sure to bring extra blankets to be safe. The A/C works really well, so, the cabin gets as cool as you want it. The kitchen is stocked with plenty of utensils and there are enough pots and pans to get you by. The access road is fairly steep in some areas. No issue for Summer or wet driving, but Winter time I’d be sure to have 4x4 or AWD to be safe. We’d definitely rent this property, again. We didn’t get to see the local bears, but we did see a few coyotes. The neighbors left their car window down and went inside for about 10 minutes. When they came out, the bears had grabbed some food out of their car and were having a picnic in the drive way. Lol. So, be mindful that it doesn’t take long for them to get in to stuff. Just because you don’t see them doesn’t mean that they aren’t watching you. Bears are very smart.

This location was perfect for our needs. Close to the park, and to the grocery store. While being remote to enjoy the privacy and nature. Everything I was looking for! And the Pyrenees and Poodle enjoyed their stay as well!

After a very tiring and stressful day we arrived to such a lovely a peaceful place. Everything was as described and even better. As we were relaxing on the back deck with a glass of wine we were able to spot a bear from a safe distance, really made our evening! We will certainly be back.

This was a beautiful cabin nestled in the woods! It was close enough to easily go to downtown Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge and nice enough to just want to stay in and relax! Justin goes above and beyond to ensure that his guests have everything that they need and answer any questions that they may have. Book it!!

Wonderful experience - everything was perfect!!

We had an amazing time! We only stayed here two nights as we were working our way through the Blue Ridge Parkway, but it was wonderful. Close to the Smoky Mountains and other cool towns. We even saw Dolly walking our pups one morning.

The cabin was amazing to stay at! It was secluded enough that we had privacy but close enough to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge - will definitely be back!

We had a fantastic stay here! It was very clean and comfortable. The back balcony looks out to a peaceful wooded area, and the charcoal grill was very handy for grilling up steaks. While we didn't have time to use the hit tub, we noticed that it was spotless. The full sized refrigerator held plenty, and the washer and dryer were handy after a day of tubing on the river. We'll definitely stay here again.

Justin was able to help us out with a last minute stay at his lodge. The place has everything you could want for a stay, bathroom with the tree shower was awesome!

Loved staying in this cute little cabin.

Exactly what I was looking for. Quite cabin in the woods, had everything I needed and perfect communication. Exactly as described, Including the friendly bear that made a visit 🙂

Great stay at this cabin! We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool table and Justin was very responsive any time we reached out

Excellent property. Quiet, lots of amenities, perfect for a week getaway.

Justin is very friendly and fast at responding! I had an accident and locked my family and I outside and couldn’t remember the code to the door. Justin was super quick to help and get us back in right away, with no problems! The cabin is beautiful and definitely what we dreamed of! My son enjoyed the pool table as well as the hot tub. It was peaceful, quiet & beautiful! We can’t wait to come back!

The cabin was perfect for us, our 3 month old and 2 pups. Had a small hiccup with the water, but Justin had it fixed quickly and was e than understanding of our needs! We had a great stay and would happily stay here again!

10/10 would recommend. The directions got us straight there, no one bothered us. Very clean!

Great weekend getaway at Lazy Bear cabin! Cozy, clean, everything you need in perfect location—right at the entrance of Smoky Mountain Park entrance! Would love to come back in the fall for colors. Communication/instructions were spot on.

Book it! Don’t think it twice. Rented this cabin for the weekend to celebrate my wife’s bday. First of all, it was immaculate so clean! We loved the pool table, and the jacuzzi. Its so quiet, you feel like you are in the middle of the forest, technically you are… so much green all around you! The vibe is so peaceful with the fireplace. We were just a 10 min drive to Gatlinburg, the location was great. The host communication was on point too! Overall 11/10!

We had so much fun, thank you!

Our family went on a cross country road trip this spring. The smokies was on our list, and this cabin was the one we chose as our home base while in the area. What a clean, quiet, cozy, perfect spot! The bed was so comfortable, and the waterfall tub was such a hit with my 8 year old daughter. What a wonderful time! Thanks for letting us stay!

Great, cozy cabin with lots of natural light and easy access to the national park and Gatlinburg. Justina was a great host, responsive when we needed anything and a great communicator.

Great cabin, location and host. we only stayed 2 nights but we fully enjoyed the cabin and visiting the towns. Justin was very responsive and attentive. I would book again.

The place was beautiful and so were the views. I liked that it had a fully stocked kitchen, games to keep you entertained, a pool table and hot tub. We sat out on the balcony of our room and watched the sun come up. We loved that it was situated between both pigeon forge and Gatlinburg, such a short drive to each place. Would definitely recommend for couples looking to get away. The place was perfect.

Enjoyed our stay at the cabin!

Absolutely loved the property! As noted in other reviews, the host (Justin) was great - excellent communication from the start of the reservation process through check out. The cabin is charming and has all the amenities and rustic décor one would hope for. The location is really convenient. We're looking forward to coming back in the fall!

A nice place for two people to stay. A very pretty area although views are more indirect/through the trees in front and wooded in the back. Also if you are uneasy about driving up a narrow steep road with no guard rails (like my wife is) it might not be the best fit. Communication from the host was great. Check in and check out was super easy!

We had a wonderful stay at this secluded, but perfectly located cabin. I spent so much time on the porch swing surrounded by nature that I felt like I was swinging while I was not even on it! We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub, playing pool, and the arcade games we remember from childhood(I was a lot better at them back in the day). The cabin was very clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. It was very close to pigeon forge and gatlinburg but also a world away. Justin was a very good communicator and also quick to respond. We loved it and would book again! Definitely 5 Stars!

We had a fantastic time in TN. Enjoyed seeing the Bear and all the bear cubs at Cades Cove, (even at the cabin we had bear one evening) We will be staying here again when we come back to the area, your 15min from Pigeon Forge, and about 30 min from Gatlinburg, but what we really liked is you are 5 min from the National park. One thing to keep in mind is most dinner restaurants in the area close by 8pm you might want to plan to bring your own food for dinner. The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you need to cook meals.

The cabin was great and Justin was a very accommodating host. Glad we could bring our dog with us. We loved having a pool table and hot tub to relax after ling days of activities. Also enjoyed sitting on either deck listening to the sounds of the nearby creek. Perfect distance between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg!

Awesome!

Beautiful cozy getaway

Great cabin! He kept in touch and even discounted one of the nights due to no one renting it that day so we got to add another for half price that was nice!

Everything was great! Communication was perfect 🙂

The stay was great. Cozy cabin with great stuff to do all around. Would definitely recommend this place.

Our first cabin trip and I must say that this place was amazing. Me and my fiancé was looking for a place that was romantic, cozy, ducked off and, felt like home. Justin your place provided just that. I was so excited when i walked in bc it was so huge and felt just like home. Justin was very responsive to all of our needs at any given time. We appreciate you and will definitely return real soon. Thank you for allowing us to stay at your cabin. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

Great place. Nice view, really enjoyed our stay.

communication was fantastic!

The perfect cabin for a couple getaway! We enjoyed our stay and will be back!

Cozy cabin that is super close to the Metcalf Bottoms Picnic Area and several great hikes, including the super popular Laurel Falls hike. We enjoyed the short drive to hikes and Justin was a responsive communicator and host. Perfect size for two people or two people + two small kids.

We had a great time! The cabin is perfect for a getaway. We enjoyed the hot tub. It was a nice bonus that the TV’s had logins for streaming services so we could enjoy a show or movie at night.

Nice location

Great Location and cabin!! hopefully be back!

Communication was fantastic . There are a few maintenance issues that we brought to their attention like imperative lights in bathroom and master bedroom . The offer to fix these was immediate but we felt we could live with it while we stayed . The promise was a follow up before the next renters . We loved the coziness of the cabin . Great location and everything was clean . Wood for a fire was left for us . Hot tub was clean . Very quiet neighborhood . Thank you

The only constructive criticism I have is that cabin needs better lighting. The current lighting in the bedroom and bathroom leaves a lot to be desired for atmosphere and mood, but over fantastic.

The cabin was perfect for my boyfriend and is short trip to Gatlinburg. Perfect size for the two of us, and the hot tub and view were amazing. Check in and out was super easy as well

Awful, FREEZING stay with broken thermostat- no working heat in 17 degree weather with a two year old and a 3 MONTH OLD INFANT in a house that is poorly insulated, and had mouse poop all over the extra bedding. I just spent $859 and had to have the 4 of us in one bed, wearing hoodies and hats just trying to keep our babies warm, and then couldn’t even take a shower. We packed up and left first thing in the morning because we were so uncomfortable, and we were supposed to be there for 2 nights. Justin offered to have maintenance come in and look the second day- but since i have 4 autoimmune diseases and two babies, i was not comfortable with anyone else entering the house with us during a pandemic- which is why we booked contact-less air bnbs, rather than stay far cheaper at hotels. We wound up having to pay for and stay at a hotel the second night. Justin then messaged at 8 pm the second night (28 hours after check in) to advise the thermostat was broken and now fixed. Thank god we didn’t stick around for another full day of no heat. Justin is unwilling to do anything to rectify the situation and is not even responding to me about trying to work something out. I feel like we got robbed.

Everything was just as we expected! Very nice and clean cabin! We will definitely return in the future!

The King bed needs warmer blankets on the bed, and better curtains in the bedroom to cover the windows. Besides these 2 issues, the cabin is nice!

Truly enjoyed our stay and loved that we were able to bring our doggos with us! Would absolutely stay here again if we make a return trip!

We loved everything about this cabin! The location in Wears Valley is perfect. It's on a quiet cul de sac surrounded by woods and only four other cabins. We like being away from the hustle bustle and this was the place to be! It has a nice front porch for morning coffee and great back porch to relax with nature. The highest point is that this cabin is pet friendly and it was perfect for our two fur kids to join us, as they always do. We enjoyed the wood burning fire place, the hot tub and cooking out each night. We also appreciated that we could get and walk with the dogs and it was so quiet and very little traffic. So many wonderful amenities. Justin is a great host and always available. It was a wonderful getaway! Thank you!

Great stay, great host! Nice cabin to spend a long weekend with your hubby!

Great place to stay while in the Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge area! Justin is a great host!

Justin’s place is amazing! We enjoyed the hot tub with the views, being able to bring our dogs, and the coziness of the cabin! We definitely recommend it and will be back!

Everything was great! From booking to check out Justin made sure we had everything we needed and even provided a visitor guide of all the things to do. The house was extremely clean, spacious and beautiful. My husband and I and our 2 dogs had plenty of room! The bed was comfortable and we loved having 2 hot tubs. Justin even checked on us to make sure we had everything we needed. We will definitely be back to the cozy bear!

Great stay. Easy to get to and owners were very helpful with directions to property. Very quiet and clean

Beautiful Cabin, Beautiful Location, small hiccup with Cleaning service at check in. Justin was prompt and on top of it. My biggest fear is alway lack of communication and that is not that case here. Justin responded right away and took care of the issue.

We loved this Cozy Cabin! Everything was perfect for us! Shelves were stocked if needed, it had a pool table, nice balconies with one of them having a swing! We cannot complain one bit! The drive up had nice views. We drove our Toyota Corolla and had no issues going up. Only thing to keep in mind, don’t forget the door code! If you’re looking for a nice cozy cabin, look no further. This is the one! We hope to be back in the future!

We loved it and will keep this one as a definite place to go for a getaway.

We loved every minute of it!

Beautiful cabin and area
