We enjoyed our stay at this unit very much! The driveway is easy to navigate. The kitchen/pantry area has lots of cookware, dishes, pot holders, Tupperware, etc… for dining in. My kids really enjoyed the foosball table, video games, and hot tub. We also enjoyed the ease of the gas fireplaces and the fun of the wood burning pit in the front.

Hi Arwen, We absolutely love hearing this—what an awesome stay it sounds like! From family meals in a well-stocked kitchen to relaxing by the fire and soaking in the hot tub, it sounds like you experienced the cabin exactly how it’s meant to be enjoyed. We’re especially glad the kids had such a great time with the foosball and games—that always makes the trip even more memorable! And those cozy nights by the fireplaces and fire pit are hard to beat. It truly means a lot you chose Ski’n with the Bears, and we’d be so excited to host you again for another unforgettable getaway!

Everything about our stay in this Gatlinburg cabin was fantastic. We have stayed in a number of different cabins in the Ski Mountain area and this one easily is a favorite. We appreciated great communication from the host and easy-to-follow procedures. I liked that our family of four could have plenty of space to longer and relax. The updates to this cabin make for a nice experience. All the little details added up—from having plenty of towels and cookware to having a variety of entertainment options available. The dining area was also a favorite — spacious and could easily seat all of us. We’ve been in a number of cabins in this area where small dining tables are crammed in tight areas. All that to say - thankful for this stay and we’d happily book it again.
We loved the open feeling of the space and beautiful updates.
