Great place with kids. Host is very responsive.
It took us about 12 minutes to get to Gatlinburg from the house.
We saw some bears lower down the mountain, which was cool. House was amazing and the views were much more amazing in person. The house was full of activities for our family and the hot tub was great. The driveway was very steep but after going up once you get used to it. Very close to downtown. Could not find a single thing to complain about with this home. Was very clean and stocked well with all of the typical household supplies. We truly enjoyed our stay at the Big Bear Cabin! The host was extremely responsive and offered many guides to the area and home. We had two families of 3 and 2 small dogs in the home for the 5 days. Things we loved: hot tub, easy access into unit, washer/dryer, kitchen appliances and cookware provided, pet care items and crate available, stroller for use, pool table and hockey table. Overall, very cozy home, location is great for Gatlinburg access, and responsive communication with owner/property manager. Beautiful house. Loved the layout. Beds super comfy. Absolutely loved the starter set of supplies provided. Only stayed a couple of nights but wish we could have stayed longer. Will be back!
