Wonderful

Loved the view the cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The drive from the gate to the cabin was a bit crazy and the parking area was not meant for trucks. Very tight fit.
This mountain home was very nice and clean. The view from the balcony was spectacular!!

Peaceful vacation
Loved the views from the cabin. Ride up to the cabin was steep but wasn’t too bad after you get up the first time. Cabin was centrally located not far from Cherokee and Bryson city. Very cozy and has about everything you need for your stay. Enjoyed our stay!

Perfect getaway
Beautiful home, even more spectacular view. Drive up is an adventure, but so worth it. We had great wifi and reception and kitchen is well stocked. Close to the mountains, Bryson City and other restaurants and amenities. It was perfect for our family's long weekend retreat!

Great views
The house has great views and was meticulously clean and neat. The roads are twisty one lane hairpin turn roads but that’s just the way it is in the mountains. It was entirely manageable in an SUV and worth the drive for the view and house.

Beautiful mountain retreat!
Our family of three thoroughly enjoyed our seven nights in this large, comfortable home. Of course, the views from the deck were a highlight - absolutely stunning! We also enjoyed the downstairs bar area (especially playing darts) and making s'mores at the fire pit on the rock patio.

Beautiful cabin
We have stayed in a lot of cabins. This was the most beautiful one we’ve ever stayed at. We actually, for the first time, used a travel agent and we are so glad we did. KH Travel found us this and we were so pleased. The view is as breathtaking as the cabin.
The process was simple. The property was amazing and secluded with great peaceful views. Looking forward to coming back.

Bear Bottoms
Loved this property - isolated on the side of the mountain. Very well taken care of and clean. Great location - close to a lot of different activities. 3 levels allow space, nice balcony and view
My family & I really enjoyed our stay at Bear Bottoms. The cabin was plenty big enough, the views were great & even though we had close neighbors it felt like we were all alone in the mountains.The only thing I would suggest is the property needs more utensils & a few more sets of dishes. We had exactly what we needed for meals so we needed to do dishes after each meal.

Expectations Met!!
The cabin was everything we envisioned. We took our 2 adult children and their spouses on a family get away to a beautiful spot in North Carolina. The Cabin had so much room, awesome views and everything you need to have a relaxing time.
We highly recommend Smoky Mountains River Adventures for Double Duckies down the Tuck river.

Excellent view
Very nice cabin has a lot of stairs for older people. If you’re gonna make breakfast and want toast you have to bring your own toaster. Had a real good time sitting on the second floor deck watching the hummingbirds.

Mountain Getaway
If you are looking for a true mountain getaway then this is your cabin! Great layout with a wet bar on the first floor and kitchen and bedrooms upstairs. The views are amazing. The cabin is beautiful with nice mountain touches. Fireplaces and bbq grill worked great!! We would be delighted to come back. Thanks!
