My husband, daughter and I spent a week here in March 2008. It was our 10th anniversary & Spring Break. This was our first "real" vacation and it was great! The home was wonderful and had everything we could have imagined. The location was perfect, away from everything but close enough to enjoy all the sights. We wanted snow soo bad and one day we drove into the mountains and played in the snow. The trip was a dream come true and when we come back we would definitely stay here. Thank you for loaning out your amazing home. Well worth the 14 hour drive from Texas.

Owner response:Thank you Misti for the wonderful compliments regarding The Bears Den. We are greatly satisfied to learn The Bears Den provided you with the kind of quality experience we seek to provide to our guests. We want all our future guests to leave with the feeling you did, and we hope you return soon. Thanks again!! Bill

Me and my husband spent our honeymoon at "The Bears Den" and I must say WOW! The cabin was beautifully decorated with the "bear" theme. It was everything and more than we expected! The cabin has everything you can possibly need.It was very clean and well maintained. The kitchen is well stocked to prepare any meals. We loved how close we were to town that it only took a few minutes to get anywhere but we were far enough out that we really felt like we were in a mountain hideaway. We even saw raccoons and some snow while we were there! The owners Bill & Jeannie were awesome to work with! You can't ask for nicer people. My husband works out of town and due to his work schedule we actually didnt even get to go on our honeymoon when we got married. We ended up having to change our dates 3 times and they never said anything but "that's no problem". We would recommend this cabin to anyone!!! And we hope to return real soon!

Owner response:Thank you so much for this wonderful review! It gives us great pleasure to hear that you had such a nice visit to The Bears Den.

Me and my husband just spent our honeymoon here this last week and I have to say we have stayed in many many cabins in Gatlinburg and this by far was the one we enjoyed the most! It was so clean and cozy! He even forgot his body wash and some was under the sink for him to use! Owners are very sweet and kind, willing to do anything for the guest! Not to far from attractions at all! We loved it! We will be using this one only when we come back! Amy & Micheal

Owner response:We love knowing that you have enjoyed your stay at The Bears Den! Thank you so much for your wonderful review! Jeannie & Bill

This cabin was everything and more that the Beaushaw's have claimed on their website. The directions to the cabin, cleanliness, attractiveness, conveniences (everything from appliances and tv to paper towels and dish soap!) were all outstanding. It does not matter what your interests are - either the beauty of the mountains or the hustle and bustle of tourist attractions, this location is easily accessible to all of it. We highly recommend it.

I was just wanting to say thank you Jeannie and Bill for letting my family stay at your wonderful cabin.The directions were good and we found it in no time. Everything was very nice and peaceful.If I had to recommend a cabin in the mountains this would be the only one. Our girls had a wonderful time in the cabin.We all agree to come back next spring break and stay for the whole week next year.Thank you for all for having everything stocked so well.My husband and myself really enjoyed the relaxation and peace that the cabin provided us.It was very clean and maintained as well .Thank you again Jeannie for being so helpful.We will be back to The Bears Den.Have a wonderful day.

Unforgettable Memories of a Wonderful Cabin

My husband and I just returned on September 3rd from a fabulous 6 day mountain vacation at The Bear's Den. As I had told Jeannie we had everything we needed and enjoyed the peacefulness that this cabin had above the tree tops. I think the only loud thing there was us either leaving or coming home on our motorcycle (so sorry to your neighbors). Words cannot describe all of the beauty, time and thought that this couple has put into their wonderful cabin to be shared by so many people who stay there. Great effort is put into every detail that someone would have within their own home to make sure that their guests enjoy every part of their stay. As we were limited to what we could take on our motorcycle we had no problem going back down to the local Krogers to do our shopping and enjoy the evenings with great food on the grill/enclosed back patio along with our favorite beverages under the stars. They have thought of everything else too from the bathroom necessities to the kitchen untensils to alot of little things that most hotel chains tend to forget to make their guests so happy. The only disappointment was that my husband could not get the OSU's first game on t.v. but compromised with another game that was televised. Oh well the beauty of the mountains and riding made up for all of this. We have been to TN/NC several times but would truly recommend this cabin to anyone staying in this area. We are so excited to return here in the future to again enjoy the hospitilaty of this couple's cabin. Thank you once again. Susan and Phillip Snyder Delaware, OH

We stayed at the Bear's Den in Sevierville, TN and had an absolutely wonderful vacation. Of course Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and all that they offer were great...but I'd have to say the thing that put our vacation over the top was the Bear's Den Cabin! Where to begin: It was nicely secluded in the mountains and had very quiet and peaceful surroundings. The cabin was very private and just a beautiful little home in the mountains. The cabin had just about everything you needed except a stocked fridge, which we did at the local Kroger...only 5 minutes away! They have a hot tub on the back porch and a large hot tub in the bath room, which we used every day!!! They had cable and all of the modern conveniences, and the Beaushaws have pretty much thought of everything when it comes to stocking the cabin with the necessities to stay very comfortably and happily. The cabin was our favorite attraction, and we literally could not wait to get home each night, light the quick switch gas fireplace and enjoy very quiet evenings together. It also caused us to want to sleep in alot!!! All in all...a very memorable vacation at the Bear's Den. I haven't stopped talking about it now more than a week after getting back to reality! I highly recommend a stay there. Sincerely, Charles Smith-Slidell, LA

My wife and I recently spent our 40th anniversary at The Bear's Den and there was no better place we could have stayed. The hospitality of Bill and Jeannie was overwhelming. The directions Bill gave are so accurate, we actually found the place at midnight after leaving work and driving into the night from South Alabama. It was SO wonderful to be able to claim such a beautiful hide-a-away as our place to stay in the mountains. We spent most of out time seeing the sights in nearby Pigeon Forge and enjoying some of the fine restaurants and family variety shows. We even got to see Dolly Parton at Dollywood in her parade. We have great photos of that. Our four days there were all so awesome and special for both of us. The cabin is utterly fantastic with everything you could possibly need. Thanks again for sharing your home in the mountains with us. We sincerely hope to return there soon...maybe on our 41st! Jerry and Frances Barlow, Highland Home, Alabama

Owner response:Thank you Jerry and Frances. We appreciate the kind words. It gives us great satisfaction to know we have helped someone have a great travel experience. Bill and Jeannie
