We just need to say what a wonderful place you have, we all agreed that this was the very BEST VRBO we have ever stayed at, and we have stayed at many of them. The little kids had a great time with all the games, especially those video games. I am somewhat familiar with construction and all your improvements were first class. We always bring a few items that I will need in the kitchen as we like to cook and eat at home, but you thought of everything that we might need. And that Hot Tub was heavenly, again, a perfect place and we all had a great time.

And yes, that hot tub is hard to beat! Thank y’all for choosing our chalet, and we hope we get to welcome you back to the Smokies again! 🏔️

Hi Hana, We're so glad you found Ski'n with the Bears to be a beautiful property. As for our local bear visitors, they are definitely part of the Smoky Mountain experience! While a fence may seem like a good solution, bears are surprisingly skilled climbers and can easily make their way over most barriers. We always encourage guests to enjoy wildlife from a safe distance and avoid leaving food outside. Thank you again for staying with us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Smoky Mountain adventure soon!

We enjoyed our stay at this unit very much! The driveway is easy to navigate. The kitchen/pantry area has lots of cookware, dishes, pot holders, Tupperware, etc… for dining in. My kids really enjoyed the foosball table, video games, and hot tub. We also enjoyed the ease of the gas fireplaces and the fun of the wood burning pit in the front.

Hi Arwen, We absolutely love hearing this—what an awesome stay it sounds like! From family meals in a well-stocked kitchen to relaxing by the fire and soaking in the hot tub, it sounds like you experienced the cabin exactly how it’s meant to be enjoyed. We’re especially glad the kids had such a great time with the foosball and games—that always makes the trip even more memorable! And those cozy nights by the fireplaces and fire pit are hard to beat. It truly means a lot you chose Ski’n with the Bears, and we’d be so excited to host you again for another unforgettable getaway!
