Everything was so perfect. It was clean and very family friendly. Our whole family including the kids really enjoyed the stay. They had provided with every basic needs wether it be for restrooms or kitchen or laundry. Everything was available and the best part was they had so many towels so we didnt have to repeat any towels. Loved the hot tub experience. Kids really enjoyed this place. Definitely would recommend to everyone who wants to stay here.

The cabin offered plenty of space with 4 queen or king sized bedrooms and 2 living areas with tvs. Kitchen was small but well stocked with items needed for cooking a variety of meals. Decor was pleasing, with interesting bear themed items and local pottery and handmade wood items. We enjoyed the local bear family's daily visits. Host was responsive to a minor problem with the dishwasher.

We loved our vacation! The cabin was perfect for us and our three teenagers. The cabin is three floors with the bottom floor having its own living room with pool table and fireplace. It was well stocked and extremely clean. We saw bears every morning from our deck and enjoyed privacy but still being so close to Gatlinburg. The deck probably should be replaced soon and there were a couple minor repairs that needed to be made but nothing that affected our stay at all. The washer and dryer was a nice surprise as well! Very pleased with the cabin and experience. We would definitely stay here again.

About the host

Hosted by Johnny Duke

Host profile image
My wife and I are both educators. We bought Bear Haven primarily as a retreat to share with our sons. I grew up going to the Smoky Mountains on a semi-regular basis. Some of my favorite childhood memories are fall visits to see the leaves and nights walking the strip in Gatlinburg.

Why they chose this property

We love the location since my sons and I hike and fly-fish in the mountains, while my wife and daughter-in-law have access to unlimited shopping and bargain hunting in the area.

What makes this property unique

We love the tongue and groove paneling and the stone fireplaces. The deck is a nice place to relax under the shade of trees in the summer. While we have neighbors within sight, this is in an older section of Ski Mountains where the cabins are more spaced out.
