Beary sweet weekend

Clean and well-maintained cabin in the woods. Everything was just as we expected from the VRBO description. Would most definitely reserve this cabin if we ever visited the area again. Enjoyed a visit to nearby Cades Cove and Ripley's Aquarium in Gatlinburg.

Cozy little cabin

We had a great time at this cabin in January. Sitting by the fireplace was so cozy in cold weather. The cabin was stocked with everything we needed as well as being convenient and clean. Communication with the host was simple and we didn’t have any issues. My husband dis complain about the bed being too hard and had issues with his back (but I was fine). I would definitely recommend.

Cute getaway spot

Overall we had a great time. It was hard to find the cabin, the cell service was not good so we kept circling around. Maybe a bigger visible sign would be helpful. Two things we were not happy with, WiFi and TV movie selection.

Mama Bear is the Best!!

This was our first time staying in Tennessee and Mama Bear made our stay such a great experience! The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and was the perfect size in the perfect setting. Mama Bear was very clean and everything that we needed was available to us. We had to contact Donnalee at once point, but she was very attentive and solved our issue immediately. I highly recommend staying at Mama Bear any time during the year!

Very quiet Neighborhood

We enjoyed the stay. Very clean and great communication with the manager. We would recommend staying here, the only downside would be the road to the location is very narrow and we almost got ran off the road 2 times just leaving the property to get to the main roads. It's very secluded and quiet, and peaceful. It's a very clean and nice cabin.

Awesome Family Getaway

The cabin was perfect for our family and dog to enjoy. Unwind and unplug from our normal busy schedule. Donnalee has the cabin fully stocked with everything we needed and then some. Girls loved the loft and games. Plenty of space, beds were comfy and the porch was great for evening games. Highly recommend staying at Mama Bear.

Great place to stay!

Everyone was super happy when we got to the house! The kids found the game room instantly and we were met with thanks and smiles. The house is decorated in what you imagine when you think of a log cabin, super cute bear items and such. The kitchen was very nice and up to date! Location to pigeon forge was perfect! The drive to gatlingburg was a bit longer, but any drive to gatlingburg is going to be long!

MAMA Bear

Great facility and helpful and personal owner/manager. Access is on a hill that can be a challenge due to steep road up to the cabin. Suggest using a 4 wheel drive vehicle or easy to drive land type vehicle. great facility and helpful and personal owner/manager.

Sweet Stay!

We stayed for 4 nights and loved it! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The jacuzzi was a nice relaxing activity. The King size bed was exceptionally comfortable. The kitchen is loaded with all you need for cooking supplies. It was nice being only 15-20 minutes from Dollywood and Pigeon Forge. The wifi was inconsistent, but that is pretty average for cabins in the woods; especially during rainy weather like we had. Overall, I definitely recommend. We truly enjoyed our stay at Mama Bear.

Great Stay Remote Location

Mama Bear Cabin is beautiful. The cabin has everything you need and the washer and dryer is a huge bonus. No cell service unless you access the internet. The hot tub was enjoyable! The only down side is the road to the cabin is one lane at times. This didn’t bother me as I’m use to driving in the mountains, but one of the others that joined us was nervous driving. The driveway is steep if you have large vehicles, we had two cars one being a suburban and the only way to park was on the hill. We would definitely return. Once off the mountain you are very close to the park. Thank you for a wonderful stay.

We loved Mama Bear Cabin!

We have been renting cabins for New Year’s for 20 years. This cabin was by far the best one we have ever stayed in. When we walked in, we felt like we had come home. All the Christmas decorations were just right! The kitchen was very well equipped. The bath towels were so nice because they were fluffy and soft. The best part was they were colorful just like you would have at home. No white hotel towels here! We had one little issue with the tv but my text was answered quickly and issue resolved! One recommendation I would make is to get to the cabin during daylight hours. The roads are rather curvy and we were glad we got there shortly after 4 pm. Our GPS took us straight there. Can’t say enough great things about the cabin and owners. Keep up the great work! Happy New Year!

Spring Break Mini-Vacation

We had a very nice time at Mama Bear. It was cozy and comfortable. No major issues at all. Just a few minor things; other reviewers said it was very easy to get to, but to me, I wouldn't have gone so far as to say that. There was one little point of confusion in the directions we were given, where one turn wasn't clear, but we were able to find our way without issue. Don't forget, you can't rely on your GPS in this area, so make sure you take the printed out directions with you. Other reviewers had said this cabin was easy to get to, which was one reason I chose it, but it is actually off a road, off a road, off a road, etc, etc, etc, etc, so if you dislike the narrow, winding mountain roads where you actually meet yourself in the curves, this isn't for you. The internet isn't great, but Donnalee was VERY accommodating with this, and was able to get this improved with a phone call, and we were still able to work, even though it was a little slow. Speaking of that, let me emphasize that Donnalee is very available, and if you have any issues at all, she is just a phone call away, and is ready to help. We got to spend some wonderful family time at Mama Bear, made lots of memories with our kids, and really enjoyed our stay!
