Perfect Location

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bear Creek cabin was the perfect location. Short drive into Gatlinburg and easy access to the national park. Loved the creek running in front of cabin and the solitude being in the woods. The batteries needed replaced in the door lock and management was quick to fix the problem. We saw two different bear cubs while staying there. My only complaint is not enough clothes storage in the first floor bedroom. Overall, very happy we stayed here.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Cabin was exactly as described, close to town but far enough to feel somewhat secluded.

We will definitely be coming back.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was clean and very conveniently located. The only things I would change would be have more cleaning supplies (dishwasher pods and paper towels).

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Overall, the cabin was good! We had 4 adults, and it did seem a bit small for all of us. It was very clean and welcoming. We were there for 7 nights and there were not enough extras such as paper towels, toliet paper, dish soap and dishwasher soap. The hot tub was great. The location was nice being close to town,however it was close to the road and at times was a bit noisy.
