This cabin was absolutely perfect! We were in town for the Ripken Experience and the cabin was only a few minutes from the complex. It was also close to Dollywood and many other restaurants and attractions. The check-in was very easy as was communication with Tanya. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance and cooking utensil we could need. Our kids loved the games upstairs and the rooms and bathrooms were all very spacious. We don’t have a single complaint and would absolutely stay here again! We were actually sad to go home. Thanks for hosting us!

Tidy little cabin with just enough to offer the kids

The pool, nerd guns, and pac man console were all well-used in our off time from Gatlinburg activities. Even in 95 degree heat, the AC worked great. Other than wanting more darts (the kids always need more for a good war) we had a great stay.

GREAT place to stay in a great location!

Simple Bear Necessities is a very well-appointed cabin right off the Parkway but still feels very "mountain" like. It was clean and well stocked. Super convenient location very close to Dollywood. Tanya's communication is top notch and very informative. She is very detailed oriented which is very much appreciated. Pizza at the Cove at the bottom of the hill is a must try! Would definitely stay again here of at any of her other properties. Highly recommend Tanya's Cabins!

About the host

Host profile image
Hello! I'm Tanya — a married mom of four and a big fan of the outdoors and family adventures. Whether it's the mountains or the beach, our family loves spending time in nature and enjoying all the activities that come with it.

In August 2020, we decided to take the leap and purchase our first vacation home in a place we truly love. We wanted a space that was comfortable, spacious, and perfect for making memories—whether it’s just us or shared with friends and extended family.

We hope you enjoy your stay in our home as much as we have. If you have any questions during your visit, feel free to reach out — I’m always happy to help!

Why they chose this property

Love the cabin feel, easy to get to with no steep windy roads. Close to everything! My kids went on rollercoasters, GoKart racing, and the National Park in one day. That's how close everything is. The Island is nearby which has lots of shopping and entertainment. You can even play a round of Golf just across the street at the Gatlinburg Golf Course.

What makes this property unique

Perfect for people who may have trouble with stairs. There are no stairs or or even a step to enter the house! Everything you may need is on the first floor: kitchen, living room, laundry and dining room along with a master king ensuite. There are no stairs or steps on the first floor. Three more bedrooms upstairs, which all include large closets, televisions and ceiling fans. The BBQ grill is in the front and private hot tub out back. Pac-Man arcade and air hockey table upstairs to keep the kids occupied. There is also a community pool and fire pit
