This was our ninth year vacationing in Gatlinburg, and this was one of our favorite cabins we’ve ever stayed in. The cabin was absolutely perfect for our family of five. It truly felt like home from the moment we walked in.If your goal is to see bears, you couldn’t ask for a better location! The cabin sits right on what feels like a major bear route. We saw more bears during our stay at this cabin than we have in all of our previous nine years combined. I recommend to always lock your vehicle doors. Every evening a bear tried getting into our vehicle, leaving a few small scratches around the door handles. That certainly wasn’t the cabin owner’s fault—it’s simply part of staying in the mountains where bears live. Seeing the bears every day was definitely a highlight of our trip.The only other thing I’d mention is the drive to the cabin. The owner did mention that the roads were steep, but I don’t think I fully appreciated just how high up the mountain the cabin is. The roads are very narrow in places, extremely steep, and without guardrails, where two vehicles can just barely pass. If you’re someone who gets nervous driving mountain roads, it’s something to be aware of before booking.We absolutely loved our stay and wouldn’t hesitate to book this cabin again. It gave our family one of the most memorable vacations we’ve ever had
