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: The cabin was very clean and well maintained. The description was accurate regarding the location.

Enjoyed beer and pizza at Gatlinburg brewery and lunch at Smoky Mt Brewery. Also had a great breakfast at one of the pancake houses. Had a bear family visit us one day mom and 2 cubs on the deck wish was exciting to see. I would definitely recommend this cabin to friends and family and would stay here again next time I visit Gatlinburg.
