Nice stay in the Smokies
We enjoyed our 4 night stay at Bearadise. The place was very clean and well-appointed. The owner was available and helpful if needed before our trip down and during our stay. Hot tub is cleaned after every stay and so was clean and hot. Great deck for grilling, dining and just looking at the scenery. Great place for one or two couples.
Wonderful place to stay!
The property was exactly as advertised, Dave was very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend to anyone!
I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return.
Very much disappointing
The owner seems very unprofessional. He never responded whenever we raised some concerns.
Both bedrooms were covered with dust. Ceiling fans, bed frame, table lamps-they were all covered with dust & spider webs. We could hardly sleep as it was causing breathing problems. The shower curtain and the shower hose were full of molds that were so disgusting! Every morning we woke up with headache because of lack of sleep and it almost ruined our vacation. Although we enjoyed the Bearadise theme of the cabin, but people still have to sleep to enjoy their long cherished vacation time. Looks like cleanliness was completely ignored for the two bedrooms. The living room was in better condition, but we have found lot of dust on top of the fireplace. To make things worse, the microwave stopped working in the morning we checked out.
I'm so sorry you did not enjoy your stay, but had a feeling prior to your stay that it would be so.
After the many conversations and texts prior to arrival, including questions on "where is the address" and "what is a door code"? you let me know you hadn't read any of the information on the house prior to leaving for it.
And our discussions about dropping food into the hot tub.
I did respond quickly, even the 3:30am call the morning of your departure.
As for this review, it's interesting that those from just before and just after don't mention the items that you do.
We will take all the items you mention under advisement and make the suggested changes as need be.
Family vacation
The deck was my favorite part with the view and the hot tub! The mornings with a cup of coffee couldn’t have been better. Dave was great and helped us out a couple of times and we were very grateful he was close by.
Fabulous Mountain retreat!
Our visit to the Smokey's was incredible! The cabin was rustic and had all the amenities you'd ever need. The view from the wrap around deck was amazing. We were able to enjoy the outdoor hot tub every single day and was able to have a couples fires in the outdoor fireplace (located on the deck). Very spacious and the Bear theme was perfect. A great vacation rental! Thank you!!
We're so happy you enjoyed your stay.
Will stay again!
Our stay was great! We felt right at home, it was clean and the kitchen was well stocked. The hot tub was definitely a favorite and we loved how much space it had. Dave was also very quick in responding to our questions and provided easy instructions and tips to get around the area. We also loved that we could bring our dog. She did have very limited area to "go" but we figured it out. The drive up is not idea but other than that we loved it. We will definitely recommend and stay again!
We are glad you enjoyed your stay and hope you return in the future.
