We had a great time in your cabin! The view from the hot tub was great and the location of the cabin was awesome! Very secluded. We had planned on eating most meals out but the cabin was so inviting that we ended up making most of our meals in and spent a lot of time just hanging out and playing games with the kids. Since you have a nice flat screen tv and dish network, we were also able to stay in and watch our UK Wildcats win the National Championship. GO CATS! Great family bonding experience. We have already recommended your cabin to others and could definitely see ourselves coming back. Thank You!

Owner response:Thanks so much for your kind words. We enjoyed having you as our guest. Look forward to seeing you again!!

We had a great weekend getaway for our honeymoon! We loved all the special touches that you put throughout the cabin.We also loved how it was decorated for Christmas. It was a perfect place for the two of us to share our first weekend as a married couple. We loved the view from the porch, and the hot tub was great on the cold winter nights. We are looking forward to staying with you again.

Date of Stay: 02/14/11 Review Submitted: 02/18/11

we just got back home from our stay in the area, the first 3 nights we spent in bear naked. the cabin is very cozy ,small and rustic. great for a songle person really wanting to get away. the bed however wasnt so great with 2 in it, we rolled to the middle together, which is hard to sleep unless your just a 24/7 snuggle bug.the drive up to the cabin caught us totally off gaurd , you have to drive alot of very narrow unpaved roads, up and down around sharp curves, we had a mini van so it was scary. the cabin itself we got a great deal on, and the owner did leave candies and sparkling cider and the place was set up very nice. the heart shape jaquizzi and the hot tub are a god send! the jaquizzi is huge!! that part of our vacation we loved. with a new matress and a 4 wheel drive with preparedness with the roads it would have been the dream vacation. but given the great deal we got we cant complain and did enjoy our time.

Owner response:We are very happy you enjoyed your stay with us. This being the first review in 2 years that was not a perfect score, we were really at a loss of words. I would like to reply that there are no unpaved roads in the area, there is road construction going on at this time in our area, which is beyond our control. The only gravel drive is a very short private drive to the door of the cabin. The cabin is located in the mountains so up and down curves are to be expected. We have had guest in all types of vehicles, including a small volkswagon, so a 4 wheel drive is definitely not required to reach our cabin. We have had only 1 comment on the bed, but we will definitely consider a replacement mattress if indicated by our future guest.

We loved how "secluded" "Bear Naked" was , but at the same time it was convient to all of the attractions. It was an amazing get-away for the both of us. We will remember you the next time we tarvel to the Gatlinburg area. Thanks agaqin for your generosity, we loved it here.

Your cabin was a perfect spot to celebrate our 20 years of marriage (27 of being in love) We enjoyed the hot tub and thank you for having candles. I'm a romantic and can you believe I left home without candles and chocolates. Thank you for thinking of these special touches. It was so easy for us to start our anniversary celebration as soon as we arrived. We didn't have to find an office to check in and pick-up a key. The convience that you have set up for checking in and out just adds to the value to your cabin. Thank you! Thank-you!
