The house was very accommodating. The location was excellent, close to all the attractions but yet secluded enough to be private. Brennan was excellent communicating with us and we will definitely stay here again in the future.

We had trouble with the washer, the host was very gracious and provided us tons of towels and bath cloths, very kind. We saw bears when we arrived. Cozy house. The upstairs was so cute. Host very communicative and responsive. House close enough to town yet far enough away from the crowd. Nice porch.

This cabin was a comfortable stay for my family for our trip to Gatlinburg. We had several visits from black bears for the full Smoky Mountain experience! This is an older cabin, and it lives like an older cabin, which is not an issue, just don’t expect new construction. The benefit to being older is the location is perfect; 5 minutes to Gatlinburg and 10 minutes to the National Park. The cabin is nestled on the mountainside and feels very private. The huge porch was great for morning tea and enjoying the mountain sounds. We had plenty of space with the cabin as our base camp while we visited family and explored the National Park. Overall, our stay was exactly what I was looking for.

Fantastic Mountain Cabin Getaway

Wow. Amazing location - So close to the entertainment Gatlinburg brings! It took us a few minutes to drive into downtown. The property is spectacular and in top notch condition - high in the mountains, the perfect getaway! We saw a bear at the top of the driveway. So cool. Can’t wait to come back!

My husband, daughter, and I along with my parents enjoyed a two night stay here. The property was perfect for our needs and Brennan was incredibly responsive to questions. The house is conveniently located to do both Gatlinburg and the National Park. We would stay here again.

On top of the Mountains!

We had a great time staying at the cabin in the mountains! Owner gave a great tip to make sure we arrived during daylight to assure we could find the cabin. Road to cabin was very windy and steep! Not a lot of seating in living room for a family of 5, all adults, but we made it work. Location is great for downtown Gatlinburg or GSMNP.

We loved staying at this beautiful cabin in the woods. It is very close to Gatlinburg which was so convenient. Cabin was very clean and just as described and pictured. We loved the big deck. Host was quick to respond when I asked a question. Had zero issues. Would highly recommend.

Trip shortened by winter weather

The property was good for our group of 5 family members. We did have to leave early on the last full day as a winter storm warning was calling for 8-10 inches of snow in the mountains. We did have an AWD vehicle but the steep driveway & switchbacks were a concern for getting down the mountain safely. Temps were going to be in the single digits.also for several days. Nice rental, just keep an eye on the weather.

Great place near to town

This cabin was very comfortable and served our purposes. It is very important to heed the advice of the owner to arrive in daylight. Due to some transportation issues, we were running late, and made the decision to go to the cabin before dinner. We were VERY happy we did.

Nice cabin - steep roads and bears

When the owner says bears open car doors, believe him! We weren't there more than 10 mins and a bear had helped himself to some snacks we forgot in the car—no damage to the car, but he clearly knows what he’s doing. His visit didn’t impact our rating. The road to the cabin is steep, narrow, and unguarded. If you're not confident on mountain roads, skip it. The driveway is also steep; we managed in a minivan but wouldn’t risk it in winter. The cabin is clean but modest—no views, just dense woods, with some road noise. Pros: strong water pressure, instant hot water, soft beds, well-stocked kitchen, plenty of towels/blankets. Cons: mold in bathroom, leak over bed, broken sliding door lock, blinds don’t fully close, low shower head downstairs, loud fan upstairs, fridge light out, unstable porch chairs. Owner responded quickly and offered maintenance. He said he'd make property management aware for future visitors. It served our needs, and communication was excellent, but it's not a place we'd likely return to mainly due to the roads and the driveway and wanting something a little quieter/private.

About the host

Host profile image
I love to travel as well. East Tennessee is my home and would love to share its amazing qualities with others!

Why they chose this property

We hope your family enjoys this place as much as mine! It’s truly a fantastic getaway spot if you’re tired of the fast-paced life. One of the things we love most about Don’t Worry, Bear Happy is the location near downtown. You will not have to deal with the typical Gatlinburg traffic here. It feels very secluded away from any neighbors as well! This Chalet was renovated specifically for my family and for other families in mind.

What makes this property unique

Great location, very close to downtown and Ober Gatlinburg. Very secluded with a large wrap-around porch with rocking chairs.
