My family stayed here for thanksgiving and we had a great time. The cabin is super kid friendly and has something for everyone to enjoy. The road and drive way up to the cabin is super steep, but the beautiful view was worth it. We would stay here again.

Cabin was nice. No dresser in the master had to keep our folded clothes in our suit cases. Had to do some cleaning once we arrived. Trash was not emptied, pots and plates were not clean, not water spots but grains of food on them. The lot is not pet friendly. We had to take our pups on daiily trips to the visitor center to use the restroom. Grass\weeds were extremely tall. My dogs will not use a dog pad, they are potty trained, it was on the porch for bad weather. It smelled really bad so was not an option. Contacted the owner a couple times they were responsive, but no issue was resolved. I am a small business owner and never want to leave a less than perfect review, but to many issues to let it go.

Great Two Night Getaway!
This cabin was perfect for my family to go hangout in the mountains for a couple of nights. It was a short drive away from the Gatlinburg strip, had tons of fun activities inside the cabin, and was extremely clean. We brought our French bulldog and he had a great time. Host was very timely with responses. We have no complaints. Even got to see a bear on our way leaving!

Amazing weekend getaway
We had an amazing stay at the cabin. Clean, and well maintained. Close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge, we were able to find many things to do either way. The game room was definitely a hit with our family.

Big Bear Shack
The house was as good or better than what was advertised. The wife and I brought the daughter and family at first we had to watch going downstairs because we would get ambushed with all the nerf guns but the kids had a blast and we could go to other floors to relax.It would be nice if you could put threshold ramps at ramp door and one going from living room to deck.The 2nd floor was accessible for my wheel chair and brought my own shower chair. Everything worked out great Thank you

Fun birthday get-away- pet friendly
Location and cabin is amazing and clean. Fun games and amenities. Super pet friendly with toys and bowls included, which was much appreciated. Fully stocked and beautiful kitchen…everything you need to stay in. Would book again. Only down side was cleaning crew showed up over an hour and 20 minutes before checkout. Our checkout was 10am; but the cleaning crew showed up at 8:40ish and waited in the tiny parking lot until we left at 9:30….which made the checkout kinda stressful and uncomfortable, but that has nothing to do with the host. The host was beyond incredible. Just make sure you leave 2 to 3 hours before checkout apparently.
