"My 14 guests and I had a lovely time in gatlinburg! You are right in the middle of bear country and we got to see several. Make sure you bring extra towels and possible extra bed sets if you have more than 12 guests. Parking is at a minimum up in the mountains and our 5 cars fit rather tightly."

That was crazy, scary and cool all in one. Definitely would rent this cabin again. The whole family actually was upset we had to leave, but school was calling for them"
