Hot tub was nice, the cabin was cozy, everything worked including the WiFi. Communication was seamless which made our arrival very easy to access with the proper codes for the gate and the cabin. The location was off the beaten path of being downtown which made it very quiet at night. We did see a bear our first night upon arrival crossing the drive coming in.Thank you for providing this cozy cabin and the hospitality.

This was a great little cabin for my wife and I to spend a few days while we explored SMNP and the surrounding area. It was very clean and well stocked with all the amenities we needed. Plenty of clean linens and toiletries. We will definitely be contacting Smoky Cabins again for our next trip. The host were very informative and extremely helpful. The digital guidebook was very easy to use. Yes, we will book again.

Perfect place for two!

This cabin was just what we needed for our weekend trip, we spent a lot of time out and about, but it was conveniently located to cades cove and also to pigeon forge, it was clean and comfortable, the shower was small but will work for a quick stay, would recommend!

Picture perfect cabin

We were extremely impressed with Bears Den. The cabin was adorable and the attention to detail was amazing. Hot tub was wonderful, bed was comfortable, hot water in the shower, and WiFi was good. Location was about 7 minute drive to the caverns, shopping, and restaurants in Townsend. It was a wonderful getaway.

Cabin was ok

Was not mentioned on website cabin sits ride on driveway hot tub was horrible the water smelled like stagnant pond water
Response from VrboOwner on Mar 31, 2020
I’m sorry that you were not completely pleased with your stay. We would have had someone come right out to look at the hot tub had you called us and told us that it didn’t smell good. The water had been tested and chemicals added that morning. It may have been the cover that smelled so we treated it. The cabin does sit on a private road which may encounter a few vehicles per day. There are only 3 cabins beyond this one so traffic is not typically an issue. This cabin always gets great reviews and has many many return customers. I’m surprised at this review from this guest as they left a review elsewhere with 4 of 5 stars and said that the cabin was clean and cozy. They never mentioned anything about the road or hot tub.

Well stocked

Well stocked and comfortable. Didn't use hot tub as leary of mislabeled control panel and privacy to cabin down the hill. Cabin is dangerously close to the road and almost got hit by speeding car while walking dog.

Response from VrboOwner on Jan 20, 2025
Thank you for your feedback! We're happy to hear you found the cabin well-stocked and comfortable. Regarding the hot tub, there are specific instructions that explain the overlay on the control panel, including the backwards button. Rest assured, there are no safety concerns with using the hot tub, and a building between the two cabins provides added privacy for guests. We agree that caution is always important when walking a pet near a road. However, there are safe areas both in front of and behind the cabin where pets can be walked without concern. We truly appreciate your input and would love to welcome you back for an even better stay in the future. Thank you again for choosing our cabin!

Excellent little cabin

We stayed here for 4 nights. Overall, the cabin is pretty cozy and comfortable. Much of the interior including the appliances appear to be updated. Only caveats are 1. the hot tub has difficulty heating above 98 F, and 2. the shower head is angled in a way that the water would hit a wall before a shorter person can catch the water. But overall, I highly recommend this place.

Bear's Den cabin

The cabin was wonderful. Everything we needed. Enough towels was a plus. We've stayed at other VRBO homes and what they say is not what you get. This was definitely everything it said plus. The location in the woods next to a mountain was perfect. It was far enough off the main road that you pretty much did not hear traffic. The road the cabin is on is private so not much traffic at all. We loved the relaxed feel of it all. The hot tub was a bonus. We liked that it was close enough to everything but not in the middle of it all. Loved it! Definitely recommend

Perfect little cabin- great location!

This cabin was awesome! We have done several trips to the Smoky Mountains and love staying near Townsend as it's more quiet and peaceful. Bears Den is secluded so you aren't by other people but close enough to town to be able to get supplies when you need them and close to both of the park entrances, making it super convenient when visiting the park. The cabin was very clean and nicely decorated. We really enjoyed the wood burning fireplace. The bed was comfortable and shower was hot. This place was perfect for a getaway with my husband. Please note that we did not get cell service (we are with Cricket which is off the AT&T network) (which we actually liked). The wifi is good so you can use the internet to connect with other people if you need to and there is a landline for emergencies.
