Was perfect to get away from the chaos of Knoxville that weekend and be close to attractions and dining in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Hosts were super responsive and the place was very clean. The bedroom and bathroom arrangements were perfect to give everyone their own space and privacy while the common areas perfect for everyone to gather. Had a very fun long weekend stay. We will return and would recommend this cabin for a nice family/friends getaway! Few pics of how we decorated for the graduation events."

The kitchen had all the utensils we needed and the beds were comfortable.

"For first time family vacay, it was great having our own space and own bathrooms. Every time I had a question Justin answered very quickly even when I didn’t realize it was getting late at night or that it wasn’t such an intelligent question on my part. Cabin was absolutely gorgeous! Pros- great location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Hiking, Dollywood. Pool for little ones, pool table and hot tub for grown ups and games. Cons- have to walk through downstairs bedrooms to get to hot tub which was not convenient if other couples/kids were sleeping. Beds were a little too stiff for our liking and some sagged in the middle. If you are a late sleeper take downstairs room because everything echos from living room. Had small ant problem when we first got there but there was spray under sink and didn’t have issue after that. Unfortunately, Justin does not have control the weather otherwise it would have been close to perfect! Definitely will return and hoping to do girls trip"

"This was truly a home away from home. It was clean, well organized, everything was easy to find. Inside and out this was an amazing cabin with wonderful amenities, had plenty of plates, silverware and cookware. Small party of 3, so we all had our very own space. The hot tub was great to relax in after long days in town and hiking. Wish we would have stayed another day to rest before coming home lol. Truly wonderful hosts and home. Thank you Justin and Kari for a wonderful stay."

"A Trip for the Books - We had an absolutely wonderful stay! The check in process was easy and the check out process was simple! I think I’m going to miss the early morning hot tub sessions before getting in the steam showers to start the day. The location is pretty convenient for being in the mountains. We were close to Pigeon Forge and about 45 min from Gaitlinburg. Everything was super clean and the king beds in every room made it super easy to choose a bedroom. The food options around were to die for and once you leave the cabin you probably won’t be back until dinner time. The kitchen was equipped with all the things you could possibly need or want. 4 full bathrooms! We only had 3 adults and 1 child but it’s always great to have options! 2 steam showers that both worked perfectly. The steam showers may have been my favorite part lol. We celebrated our 1 year anniversary in the oversized jet tub watching tv and eating ice cream after a fantastic dinner at The Chop House. This place is great for couples, friends, and family. You can’t go wrong choosing The Bear Essentials!! We will definitely be back, HOPEFULLY NEXT ANNIVERSARY! Thanks Justin for your quick responses and a wonderful home!"

We were in a peaceful location but also close to all the attractions nearby. Check in was an easy process and Justin made sure we had the info we needed upon arrival for easy entry. Justin was a great host and was always quick to reply if I had a question. I had previously asked if there would be a Christmas tree in the cabin and they usually don’t have one there.. but to our surprise there was one beautifully lit and decorated for us upon arrival! That was such a nice surprise, thanks again for everything! We had a great time in the smokies!"

"Weekend Getaway - We rented this cabin for a weekend trip with my family, brother’s family, and the grandparents. It was very spacious but still cozy, spotless, and in a great location. We had 2 day passes to Dollywood and it was about 20 min to the park and other destinations on Parkway. It was only 4 miles from the Applewood restaurant and Apple Barn shop, so we had breakfast there on the way out.
Not so far up the mountain it was a chore to get to, but still far enough away to feel cabin-y with good views of wooded area from the back windows.
Very pleased with our experience!"

Our kids loved all the bears in all the decor. We stayed while visiting for a Tennessee football game and it was the *perfect* choice- a 30 min hassle free drive into campus and was able to park cheap and easily on Chapman hwy to avoid all the traffic post game. Not only was our stay great, but the owner was able to find and mail back a beloved stuffed animal we left behind. I cannot recommend enough. We will be back!"

"Relaxing Cabin - The cabin was very clean and stocked well above what we expected. It was in a great location, very quiet and beautiful views. We loved just playing games and hanging out at the cabin—a great place to relax and recharge. And when we chose to go out, it was not too far of a drive to our activities. Thank you so much for sharing your place with us."

"Bear Essentials - VERY CLEAN! Only 2 things, dishwasher was inoperative, and because of the bears, garbage cans are small and in a metal cage like propane tanks at the gas station. So, I give it definitely a 5 star. Appliances break down, with 7-10 people we did a fair amount of dishes and without a burn barrel a fair amount of trash. Their management/owner did try n reset the dishwasher(but it was dead) and was attentive to removing the trash. I’d go again in a heartbeat, great place, and VERY CLEAN!"

"Fun Spring Break - Cabin is in a great place if you want to stay away from all the tourists. We found turning by the Red Lobster on New Era Rd is the best way in. I misread the listing and thought the cabin was 2 levels instead of 3. Since my mom is in her 80s and has a knee brace I ask if we could change cabins the next day. Justin had multiple listings but instead of helping I received a response that a full bath was on the main level and could sleep on the pullout couch. Trip would have been much better if wasn’t worried about her falling down the stairs. Not a cabin for someone with mobility issues since bedrooms are upstairs or downstairs."

Heya Beth, I apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the layout of the cabin. It is true that the bedrooms are on different levels, but I would have been more than happy to help you find a more suitable cabin. I'm glad you were able to find a way to get to the cabin that worked for you. I understand your concerns about your mother's mobility, and I wish you had let me know so I could have done more to make your stay more comfortable.

"We loved this cabin! Justin was a great host, the cabin had all of the things our family needed, the beds were slightly uncomfortable but I would definitely stay again, the roads there are a little bit quirky, but nothing that isn’t doable. We loved sitting on the back porch and drinking coffee, this cabin is pretty close to pigeon forge and about 30 minutes from Gatlinburg. Would not hesitate to book again!"

"Friends weekend - Great place for a friends getaway. This was a great three bedroom four full bath cabin with great entertainment areas. Very easy to get to and very well appointed. Will definitely look this place up the next trip to East Tennessee. The hosts were great and easy to communicate with."

"Great family fun! We stayed 4 nights, and had the best time. We have 3 children, so them getting to spread out was great. I loved that there were multiple jacuzzi tubs. The view was beautiful, but especially first thing in the morning. Enjoying a coffee on the porch was refreshing before a busy day. This cabin is open, large, and beautiful. We have added it to our list of favorites. We had one small issue, messaged Justin & he responded immediately. He is definitely an amazing host. I was only bummed about one thing during our stay. We paid such a high cleaning fee, yet the kitchen wasn’t fully clean when we arrived. There were still dishes in the dishwasher (which also didn’t clean very well when we tried to use) , and when we got a few bowls from the cabinets there was ramen noodles or something stuck to the inside of them. Not a huge ordeal; just a little irritating. All in all it was a great stay, thank you Jason & Kari for being fantastic hosts & allowing us to stay"

"This was the best airbnb I’ve stayed at so far! The cabin was exactly like the pictures and had absolutely everything just as if you were at home. I had my four month old baby with me and the condo has a high chair and an exersaucer, that was such a nice convenience to have! Justin was very helpful throughout the stay, kept in touch, offered local recommendations, and was very quick to respond. This was a great place and I would definitely stay here again!"

"We couldn’t say enough great things about our stay here! Location was great and located off of easy mountain roads. The corner lot made it easy for us to enter and exit with two full size vehicles. Cabin was a great size for our family, we could all spread out and have our own space and come together on the middle floor for family time. Kids loved the hot tub and game room. WiFi was super fast, and the smart TVs were a great plus. Gatlinburg and PF is only a short drive away to enjoy all that the Smokies have to offer. Justin was a great host and was always super quick and responsive to messages. 1000/10 recommend!"

It's not located to far from the main attractions of Gatlinburg and there are plenty of amenities and supplies in the cabin for a cozy stay.
