"What a wonderful, peaceful stay! The property is tucked into lush, green surroundings that made it feel like a true escape from everyday noise. It was wonderfully quiet — perfect for relaxing and recharging. The home was exactly as described, with no surprises, which we really appreciated. The hot tub was a fantastic touch for unwinding in the evenings, and the lower-level game room was a great bonus for some downtime. The space itself was cozy and inviting, and we left feeling completely refreshed. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a serene getaway!"

"We had a great time! House was off the beaten path (as described) and it was extremely peaceful and private. We visit Tennessee every year and Sweet Bear has been the best place thus far. Plenty of space for the whole family, clean, and plenty of games and activities provided by the host. Would recommend to anyone wanting tranquility and doesn’t mind the twist and turns of being up in the mountains!"

"Was so beautiful!!! The drive in was crazy but was so worth it! There is neighbors but you don’t even know they are there. The hot tub was great the kids were in it every night. My daughter slept in the bedroom on the main floor and said she could hear anything that happened upstairs, but I kinda feel that is normal for a cabin. The view was absolutely amazing. We will definitely be coming back. This was our second time staying in the mountains but the first at this property."

"This cabin is ideal for spending time with family in peace and quiet, a cozy and tidy place. We had all the kitchen utensils available, the cabin was clean and organized, and there was good communication with the host. It would be even better if it had a gas grill on the porch, that would make it more convenient, but overall everything was great. It's highly recommended."

"This cabin and the location were absolutely amazing. The view off the back decks was unbeatable. The drive to it was outstanding, especially on our motorcycles. This was my fourth trip to the area this year and so far my favorite cabin and location. I’ll definitely be trying to rent it for my trips down next year. I like that the bedrooms are split up nicely, there are plenty of things to do in the cabin at night, and the morning coffee view from either deck is unmatched. Communication with the host was great. They’re very friendly and helpful! 10/10. All around incredible experience!"

"The cabin was clean and big for our family of 8. Everyone had a bed of their own which is one thing we were looking for. A great place to stay if you want a quiet peaceful place. We had 2 bears walk the yard which the kids were excited to see from inside the cabin. The arcade and pool table kept all of us entertained at night. A little bit of a drive from most places but it didn’t bother us. Shane was very proactive with his messages and checked in on us during our stay to assist with any issues we had. Would love to stay here again."
