Our intention with this get away was peace and relaxing. We sat outside on the porch and watched and listened to the wildlife (we even had bears visit the driveway to eat acorns). We were so close to town making it convenient when hunger struck us but we rarely heard the noise of the town. Everything was well thought out and easy. A definite win in Townsend!

The cabin met our needs perfectly for a relaxing getaway. It was very clean upon our arrival and stocked well with basic household items. Communication with Kirk was excellent and the location of the cabin could not be beat! It is just a couple of minutes from town but secluded with no close neighbors. There is a slight gravel incline to get to the cabin, but it is easy to navigate if you accel speed when leaving the main road. I will note that the master bedroom, kitchen, and main living area are upstairs, but that was not a problem for us at all. We love the laid-back atmosphere of Townsend and the proximity to Cades Cove and would rent this wonderful cabin again without hesitation!!

We chose this cabin for a last minute staycation. First; the cabin is very nice. The inside was very clean (spotless in my opinion), it is well stocked, decorated beautifully, it has very nice furniture, a lovely deck to enjoy the outside and it is private. The kitchen has everything needed to cook meals. Plenty of pots/pans/cookie sheets; array of coffee choices, utensils, glasses, plates, bowls, air fryer, blender, toaster, literally everything anyone would need for a comfortable stay. Plenty of towels, extra pillows, blankets etc. The furniture is comfortable & pretty. There is also a laundry room with complimentary detergent provided and dryer sheets. The cabin is surrounded by trees, so no noisy neighbors right next door; which is wonderful. The owner Kirk is very personable and polite. He checked in with me after I made the reservation. He provided clear and easy to understand directions for check in, directions to the cabin, he included pictures, gave very detailed instructions; and even tips for driving up their driveway. Over all a great last minute get away. We live in the next county over, so not far from the cabin. I would highly recommend this to anyone who wants to stay where it is quiet, or is looking for privacy while outside on the patio/deck, or is looking for a high end, clean, comfortable, nice cabin. If I could give more than 5 stars, I would. Wonderful place to stay and great owners!

This is a fantastic cabin in a nice location set up up with everything you need. It was easy to access and very close to the national park. The owner was very attentive more than other places we have stayed. If we ever decide to come back to this area, we would definitely rent this cabin again!

This is a beautiful place. We have never stayed at a more comfortable, well stocked and beautifully decorated place than this. The hosts were super attentive and anticipated every need. They were also available when we needed them. Will 100% stay here again the next time we are in the Smoky Mountains

Excellent communication from the host from the very beginning of the process. The cabin was exceptionally clean, cozy, and well appointed. A great value.Kirk even made sure there was a meat thermometer in the kitchen so we could cook our Thanksgiving turkey! We loved the privacy and the conveniences nearby as well. My family would stay here again without hesitation. Thanks so much for a wonderful holiday!

Bear Watching

This is a great cabin, very clean & stocked with everything that you need. It is located on beautiful wooded acres, yet close to town & Cades Cove. The outside deck was roomy with comfortable furniture. The inside was very cozy & welcoming.

Great getaway!

We had a great stay! This place is clean and comfortable, fully stocked kitchen, comfortable couches, and with nice bath towels and wash cloths. We have stayed many places and the linens are awful. Anyway, great time at a nice place.

Cozy Weekend Getaway

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at Bear Acres Getaway! The location is just minutes from some of the best restaurants, hikes, and excursions in the area—we spent a beautiful morning in Cades Cove. There’s still so much we didn’t get to do, like tubing, mountain biking, and horseback riding, so we’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer.Kirk was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. The house was very well stocked, with plenty of linens and towels for our group of six. We were especially impressed that there was more than enough hot water for everyone—something that can be hard to find with a larger group!The kitchen was well equipped, and the living space felt cozy and perfect for spending quality time together. We also loved the wraparound upper deck—it was the ideal spot for relaxing and hanging out in the evenings.

Feel at Home

This cabin had such a comfortable, welcoming feeling. Great location off the main Hwy in a secluded area yet still close enough to town that you can be there in 3-5 minutes. Very clean cabin and beds that make you look forward to the days end.

Fantastic cabin!

We had a great time at Bear Acres! The cabin was beautiful with everything you could need for your stay. The location was perfect, peaceful and quiet up in the forest but only a 2 minute drive to Townsend. We had two brilliant evenings out at Company Distilling down the road and definitely prefer staying on the ‘peaceful side’ of the Smokies.

Gorgeous cabin on a great property!

My husband and his father loved the cabin! Great location right in the edge of Townsend, but an actual private cabin. Not a carefully angled photo to make it look private. This cabin is as great as it looks! The hosts are super friendly and keep a very clean well kept and stocked cabin. We will definitely be back!

Very Comfortable!

Great location, complete home away from home, owners thought of everything one may need during their stay. Close enough to "town" but secluded enough to not know it. Interior stairs were a little tricky for us older folks.

Quiet and Clean!

We had an amazing stay at Bear Acres! The hosts were super hospitable and provided everything you can think of! Fully stocked kitchen, with pots, pans, utensils, Tupperware, paper goods etc! We cooked dinner two nights and it was a breeze with all the supplies. Everything was very clean and comfortable! We loved the indoor fireplace, as well as the fire pit outside! It’s very close to town with lots to do! We cannot wait to go back!

Such a wonderful weekend

We had the best time at Bears Acres Getaway! The cabin was so charming, clean, and accommodating! These owners have thought of everything its guests might want or need in a cabin rental! The city of Townsend was a perfect place to get out and explore with its lifestyle charm, and Cades Cove was the most perfect hidden gem to explore! You are also a 30 minute entertaining drive to Pigeon Forge to experience all the amenities the strip has to offer or Dollywood! We very much enjoyed our time within the township Townsend had to offer as well as the time on the outdoor porch blowing bubbles with our children, time spent on the porch around the fire pit, and time spent around the bonfire with s’mores!

Quiet and Cozy in Townsend

The cabin is super cozy and well maintained. The owner’s obviously take pride in this property, and it shows! Super fun and leisurely outside setup-awesome deck and chairs, gas fire table, wood burning fire pit, grill, and picnic table! The cabin has comfortable furniture and was very clean. Great kitchen and washer/dryer. They provided basic toiletry items for comfort and convenience. The owner’s also gave very thorough instructions with pictures on how to access the hill/driveway as well as the cabin. The property is quiet and private, but still close to the main road, which was great! We will definitely return!
