Great cabin

The views are absolutely stunning, the house had plenty of room for our family of 6, the floors were a bit dusty, and the downstairs shower is a bit outdated, but the other 2 showers were wonderful. The pool table is a very nice bonus, just fun to play and look out the awesome windows at the beautiful views, ac works great, the drive up is a bit tricky, but overall just a wonderful cabin

Several items in the house were broken, chairs, hot tub, dishwasher, televisions, beds. The house itself was very nice and had a lot of potential, but it needed repairs and improvements. I was disappointed by the lack of support with my request to fix or repair the televisions, it was raining most days and we had 5 children with little to do at night.

That’s not the experience we want for our guests. Your comments about the hot tub, dishwasher, televisions, and furniture have been noted, and we’ve already scheduled repairs and replacements where needed.

Beautiful cabin and plenty of room!

The cabin was beautiful! We had plenty of room for 8 people! The location of the cabin was hard to find because we couldn’t use GPS. The water smells horrible. We called the emergency line for help finding the cabin and never received help. We have visited Pigeon Forge 17 times and this was by far our worst cabin experience !!!

Beautiful location and great experience

We had a group of 7 from our family stay at the cabin. There were 2 couples and three folks who needed / wanted their own beds and there was plenty of room for all. The house was lovely and clean and the views are incredible. Some good adds for the kitchen would be hot pads so if you use the oven you have something to protect your hands. We had an emergency with one of our cars where we needed to use the Fire extinguisher (yes very dramatic) and the office replaced the fire extinguisher for us the next day. Great proximity to all the fun Pigeon Forge activities.

Beautiful!!!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful! The views did not disappoint.The only thing I would say about the cleanliness has nothing to do with the upkeep of the property. There was a family of bats that slept just above the door to the back middle deck. We swept it several times a day to keep the area clean. Check in was smooth and had no issues getting into the cabin. My daughter did have a scorpion in her bathing suit bottom after she left it on the floor but again its very well explained about the different bugs or animals you may come across. The cabin was as exactly described. The location was a bit sketchy at times and the roads were up roads with a whole lot of curves. If you understand when it says its a 12 mile ride to town it takes about a half hour or so to get there, just plan for slower driving. We would definitely stay again and recommend to friends and family. Thank you for the great memories and I am already looking forward to our next trip to the mountains!

Beautiful house but had a few problems

We stayed at this cabin for our annual Friends trip. The house is absolutely beautiful and the views are stunning. The kitchen was well stocked with different utensils and kitchen accessories. The owner responded very quickly to any questions I had prior to the trip. However, we did have a few issues when we got there. The first thing we noticed was the fireplace not working. We called when we arrived and it took them two days to get someone out there just to tell us he couldn't do anything for it. We then noticed there were some plumbing problems because all of the showers and sinks were spitting out brown water and the middle level bathroom toilet would barely flush. The next night we were going to get in the hot tub and noticed the water was a brownish green color so we opted out of getting in it. It was very disappointing not being able to use the hot tub or the fireplace considering how cold it was and those are the some amenities people look for when booking. We overall had a great time either way and made the best out of the stay.

Pigeon Forge Buzzard's Roost from Bear Camp Cabins

What an enjoyable stay at a cabin with an Amazing view!! Everything was clean and ready at our arrival time and check in was convenient. Beds were comfortable and the cabin was tastefully decorated. Kitchen was well stocked with cooking, eating and drinking utensils. The hot tub was enjoyable after full days of sightseeing. Only downside was the distance from attraction. It was quite a drive up into the mountains, but we would stay there again. It suited the eight of us well.
