Lovely Home with Good Location

The house was nice, clean, and the communication with the owners was EXCELLENT. I loved the location and that you could get to Gatlinburg more than one way to help avoid traffic or jump on the bypass to go elsewhere. Also enjoyed the quiet neighborhood. My only low point was that the AC for the top floors couldn't handle the heat so the house ran very warm (78 during day and maybe 75 at night). The bottom floor was excellent though and stayed cool the whole time.

We had a wonderful stay with 4 adults and 1 child, and even hosted 2 more adults and a child for meals—yet never felt crowded. The layout, with two separate living spaces on different floors, makes the cabin feel much larger than expected.The photos don’t do it justice—the cabin looks even better in person. The owners were great communicators, and the beds were very comfortable. Note that the upstairs runs warmer than the downstairs in summer, and only a few trash bags and dishwasher pods are provided, so bring extras if staying a while.The property is clean, family-friendly, and tucked into a peaceful wooded setting. We saw several bears, including one walking right by the deck while we were in the hot tub—so definitely follow bear safety guidelines!This is a true mountain cabin, not a resort. Come with that mindset and you won’t be disappointed. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway. Also, Ski Mountain Pizza was excellent, and the nearby Chalet Market had everything we needed in a pinch.

Very nice stay.

Cabin and location was great. Very comfortable. Fyi, a bear tried to get in the front door and the back door. It was a little scary. My daughter and family were 3 doors down at abother cabin. Lots of bears. A neighbor had their car window broke and had 2 bears inside the car. Just fyi. Beds were very comfy. Areas of improvements....maybe a future deck roof. The deck furniture was too dirty to sit in as well as the hot tub. We also had lots of ants in the kitchen counter and sink. I found raid under the sink which saved the sirltuation. All in all, i would rent out the cabin again. Thank you.

Thanksgiving Getaway

Beautiful place to stay for the Thanksgiving holiday! The whole family has a great time and there was a lot of things to do and see. The hot tub was great - clean, working and perfect on a cold night. The pool table brought out the competitive side of the family :) There was plenty of space for the family to have quiet time for themselves. Would definitely recommend others to stay in this cute and cozy cabin! The Christmas decorations were an added bonus!

Family Vacation

We had a great time at the cabin. It was the perfect size for my family and my sisters family. We saw a few bears during our week stay (14 total). The rooms worked out well for us. Compared to the other cabins near by it did seem a little dated but that did not bother us. We also liked using the clubhouses for swimming which were nice for our kids ranged 3-11 years old. The downstairs jack and jill bathroom shower stall is small but worked fine. Any questions we had were answered quickly. Great vacation!

Family Vacay in the Smokies

Needs some up keep. Railing is weak around the outside deck. The tin on the roof is exposed and is at head level for young children that could cause major injuries. Needed some cleaning under the furniture and if you have a large group of people, more towels and wash clothes are needed. We had to wash towels .We had a group of 7.

We enjoyed this chalet on Spring Break. The location is perfect. Just a short drive to downtown Gatlinburg and entrance to the Mountains. The chalet was beautiful and perfect for our family of 5. Everyone had their own room, which was perfect! Everything there that you could possibly need. The hot tub and pool table was an added bonus!

About the host

Hosted by Johnny Duke

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.
