This cabin is the ideal spot for a family looking for a vacation away from the hustle and bustle of PF and GB. The views from this cabin are amazing!! Take a short walk and see a little more of the mountains, they were absolutely stunning!! It’s close to everything, but far enough away to offer that quiet solitude of being in the mountains. We even saw a couple of bears right in the preserve area. Jeff was very responsive to any questions. I would definitely stay here again.

Our family enjoyed this beautiful cabin! The kids especially loved the fun loft area! Everything was clean and well stocked. The beds were comfortable and the mountain views from the floor to ceiling window in the living area were stunning. The owner was superb at communicating and was very accommodating to our special requests. If you’re looking for a cozy, quiet place to relax away from the hustle and bustle, this is a fantastic spot.

Property was fantastic! The couches were a little rough however it is dog friendly so I didn’t expect brand new fancy couches. Make sure you can climb a ladder if you plan on sleeping in the loft. The cabin has a private hot tub however the public one listed in pictures is no longer there. Over all we had a fantastic time and would for sure visit again!

Thanks for your review. The resort did remove the public hot tub up by the pool that used to be there, but I was careful to take new pictures of the pool and post them so as to not "falsely advertise" something that wasn't there. I'm not sure where you saw a picture of the old hot tub, but if there is an old one floating around on the website I just want future guests to know that there is no longer a public hot tub up by the pool. We still have the private hot tub on our back deck, of course. Our couches are definitely well-loved, but still functional. You are exactly right: since we are dog-friendly they take more wear and tear than the average. Once they become malfunctional, I will replace them but they are still serving their purpose. Since they are all leather, being a little worn in actually makes them more comfortable (in my opinion) since leather couches can sometimes be so stiff/firm and not as welcoming.

I am sorry about the furniture in the living room. The last time I visited, the furniture was fine. But a guest before you caused damage to the furniture without telling me. I have repaired the furniture so rest assure to future guests that the love seat and couch in the living room are repaired and in good condition. I apologize for the inconvenience you had. Sometimes things break down or people cause damage and don’t tell me.

Wonderful property, wonderful stay. Plenty of space for a family and a pup. We had 4 adults, 2 teenagers, a child and a dog on our trip to Dollywood. We hiked, we visited Gatlinsburg and Dollywood. We did it all comfortably from Bears Abound. One thing to note, no closet space though we were there from and Weds - Sun and were just fine. Thankfully we had beautiful weather. Don’t know about deep Winter when we all would need thicker clothes and heavy jackets…
