Had a great time, cabin was perfect for our family. Wish we had stayed even longer there’s so much to do in Gatlinburg and cabin is close to it all. We would definitely come back and stay here again.

We’re thrilled you had such an amazing stay at Bearendipity and made memories to last a lifetime. We’d love to welcome you back to Gatlinburg again soon!
We had a wonderful weekend stay at Joel’s place. The views were amazing and the cabin was cozy. We used the fire pit for a night of s’more making. We had a weekend with our 2 grown children and their spouses. The place allowed us all to have our own space and bathroom, while spending time together. We would stay at Joel’s place again.

We’re so happy to hear you had such a wonderful weekend stay! It’s great that you enjoyed the views, the cozy cabin, and a fun night making s’mores around the fire pit. We’re glad the space worked well for your family, and we’d love to host you again.
We had a great 5 day stay with this perfect location, close to the national park, downtown gatlinburg, and Pigeon forge. We shopped and made a lot of meals at the rental, we're able to watch our favorite team on Sunday on the TV. We were a group of 6, 2 families of three and for very comfortably with plenty of room for adults. An 8 year old and a24 year old to have fun and relax!

Love the cabin! However it is in the side of the mountain and the drive up and down is a little scary!

Heather, so glad you loved the cabin! Hope you found the drive easier as you became familiar with it. The drive up the mountain is certainly worth it once you see the stunning mountain view!
We had a quick work/fun trip and this spot was fantastic. Discussion and fellowship around the fire was fantastic.

Thanks for staying at our cabin, Ericka! The view is always stunning and you occasionally get to see the Smokies black bears. Glad you had a perfect stay!
A nice little getaway not far from downtown Gatlinburg. Will definitely use again. My only complaint is they should weed eat and clean up a little more around the fire pit.

Thanks so much for staying with us! Glad you enjoyed the getaway and the location near Gatlinburg. We appreciate the feedback on the fire pit area - just got to it a little later in the season than we normally do. Hope to host you again soon!
The cabin was perfect, very well stocked, clean, and adorable. We all really enjoyed it; we will definitely stay here again. Joel was wonderful to work with when I was planning our trip; he was very responsive, answering all of my questions very quickly.
