About the host
Hosted by Hemma & Erik Papp
Bear Moon Cabin is owned by Erik & Hemma Papp of St. Petersburg, FL and their sons Alex and Tommy. After a long time love affair with the mountains they began their search for their dream home to use as home base for their road-schooling and adventure seeking. It took a while, but one look at the cabin told them it was worth the wait. They look forward to many more mountainside memories and wish the same for your family as you enjoy their log cabin home.
Why they chose this property
When we drove up to this cabin we were in love! The hand-hewn logs, the hand carved trim, the smell of the wood and the warmth we feel when we look at it made us know our search had ended. We waited to find the perfect home in Chalet Village so that we and our guests can take advantage of the Chalet Village perks, be close to Ober Gatlinburg for winter skiing and because the city does a great job of maintaining these roads. Moreover, this is the perfect jumping point for so many adventures. We love being immersed in nature and there is no better location to fulfill our dream of spending as much time in the mountains as possible. John Muir's statement the "the mountains are calling" really resonates with us and we think that you will feel that as well after your stay at Bear Moon Cabin.
What makes this property unique
We love how many bears we see from our cabin! We also love the hand carved details and how meticulously our wonderful housekeeper cares for our home. She is a gem! We have made sure that we and our guests can enjoy the cabin itself and have everything we need to cook in and have fun when we don't feel like leaving. We take pride in providing the kind of experience we would want when using our hard earned dollars on a vacation and strive to have the perfect place for guests so that we can share our deep love of the Smokies!
