Excellent! Host was wonderful and easy to work with. Loved the huge deck space!
4.6
We had a great time and loved the house! The convenience to everything was wonderful. The privacy, and location was great. It was spacious enough and very clean. The grill was disappointing but probably due to being well used in the past. The pond in the pictures was a little miss leading we felt, but a wonderful place and vacation for us. We would use again.
4.6
Kitchen was well stocked. So pans need replacing, but overall good. All the furniture and beds are way too soft. We play board games and the the wood chairs about killed us! Best chairs were on the deck. Trundle had rocks in it. Had a great stay and lots of fun. You are a great host. Very responsive.

Our family spent several days in the area and stayed here. The cabin is well kept and updated and was perfectly spaced for 3 family sets and 4 kids. It was the perfect location and nicely stocked for our needs.

We had a great time at the Bear Mountain Lodge, we was in town for our daughters wedding. Everything was as descirbed, and very clean. My mom and sisters had rented the Shenandoah House next door which worked out perfect for all of us. We had plenty of room and the location is very quiet and private, it was especially nice that's it's on a deadend road. We had everything we needed at the house. We would defintely recommed this place to anyone and would love to come back in the future.

The Bear Mountain Lodge was a great place for our family vacation. The lodge was clean, comfortable, and had a beautiful view. It was also conveniently located between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We would definitely stay there again.

We traveled to TN for Christmas this year and had our extended family all meet here (10 total). There was plenty of room for everyone and the cabin had everything we needed to enjoy Christmas. It was nicely decorated and had all the essentials to cook Christmas dinner. Beds were comfortable and the location cannot be beat. It's perfectly situated in the middle between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. It's also not situated so high up that you need a four wheel drive vehicle. Great place, thank you!
4.6
We enjoyed our stay so much! You couldn't be closer to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg yet still have so much privacy. The view of the pond was wonderful and the cabin was very clean.

We were very pleased with our vacation stay and would definitely stay there again!

Blueberry refers to the name our granddaughter gave to the black bear we saw in the neighborhood! The location is so convenient to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg/SMNP. Our family enjoyed everything from mountain coasters to Cades Cove and views from Anakeesta. After fun filled days, it was so relaxing to return to the comforts of Bear Mountain Lodge.We enjoyed playing billiards, soaking in the hot tub, and watching the clouds roll across the mountains from the deck! Thank you for sharing your home with our family.

Beautiful, private setting. Great and easyaccess to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Clean and comfortable place. Would consider taking another vacation there. Deck secure for smaller children. We saw a black bear go under the upper deck while I was standing there. It surprised me but felt safe and secure as O watched him wander off to other property and then disappear into the woods.
4.6
Geeat house, lots of room to hang out, close to everything.
4.6
We enjoyed our stay. The property was perfect for our needs. The location was close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We saw three bears walk by the house during our stay. The grandkids thought that was awesome. I would stay at this property again.
4.6
Cabin was clean and in a great location, directly between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We had 11 family members and had plenty of space for everyone. This was our first time in the area and we really enjoyed ourselves.
4.6
Best location yet. Stayed in 5 cabins before and this one is easy to get in and out of cabin and location makes it a quick drive where ever you wanna go in the area

I would have left a 3.5 star review, but after further review the one issue that really bothered us was called out in the listing. The seasonal fireplace usage is ridiculous. We visited first week in April and would have loved to have used the fireplaces...it got into the low 40's at night. You're in a cabin in the woods...fireplace is part of the experience.
There were a number of items where you can tell the owners spent money (deck & kitchen are fantastic) and then there are repairs/upgrades poorly completed (e.g. electrical outlets). The master bed on the main level could use a new mattress...the mattress in the bunk room is nicer. Also, the bedframes of the 2 queen beds need to be replaced properly and not a DIY fix.
The hottub did not work. Pulled the manual off the internet and spent some time trying to get it working....not worth spending your vacation time trying to mess with it. The hottub is quite old...if a hottub is important to you....I wouldn't stay here until its replaced or major work is done on it.
Lastly, the dishes request prior to leaving is a bit much. Most places we have stayed are fine if you fill up the dishwasher and run it prior to leaving. The cleaning crew puts away. This host requests that you clean and put away all dishes prior to leaving which adds time when you are trying to get on the road.
The owner is thorough with the asks of you the guest, so I wanted to leave a thorough review on areas that could have made it 5 stars.

We stayed for 5 days at this lovely cabin. We almost didn’t make it to the cabin due to snow on the ground and we drove a multi passenger 2WD van. We had an unexpected snow day which was a treat for the kids (and adults) but had to push back some of our plans due to icy road conditions. We loved everything about the cabin. It had everything we needed. Ben and Leila were very responsive. We’d love to come back in the summer so we can explore the lake down below and the trails in the area.
4.6
This is an absolutely beautiful property for a large crowd. It is well taken care of ... spacious and well stocked with kitchen amenities, but no Keurig. Cable and internet issues for us.
4.6
My family had a great time.
4.6
It was a great place to get together with siblings as we are scattered about the US. We loved sitting on the decks in the morning. Plenty to do in both Gatlinberg and Pigeon Forge. The Smokie Mountains National park is a must see. Everything was close enough that we could keep entertained and do multiple events in one day.
I suggest arriving before nightfall if you are not familiar with the area! Very tough to find in the dark until you know where your going plus my gps was just a bit slow on giving directions.
4.6
Ten of us stayed--ages 6 to 86--and we had a glorious time! The house is an absolutely perfect location for our needs (a little Dollywood; a little SMNP) and the various bedrooms and porches made it a flexible and comfortable stay for our large group. We made lifelong memories!
4.6
Gorgeous views, lots of beds and plenty to do. Would love to stay here again
4.6
The beautiful views, peaceful and secluded setting, and modern amenities of Bear Mountain Lodge made for a comfortable and welcoming home-away-from-home during our family vacation in the Smoky Mountains. It was the perfect spot to relax and recharge after a day of sight-seeing and adventures.

We hiked in Smoky Mountains, went to shows in Pigeon Forge, ate and miniature golf in Gatlinburg and this cabin was perfectly centered to everything but you felt like your were in the country. Very peaceful and we saw bear!

This property is so much better than the pics!! We loved it and the location is perfect for visiting all the area attractions. The hot tub was nice to have after long days, We did see a bear right at the house which was very cool. There was very little that wasn’t great except the lack of water pressure and no basic supplies in the kitchen, not even salt and pepper or aluminum foil, nothing.. Every other rental we’ve used has at least some basics that other guests may have left behind, I would recommend this property if you’re visiting the area.

Our family celebrated Christmas in this wonderful cabin this year. It was beautifully decorated for the holidays providing a home-away-from home feel. The location is perfect; it’s within a reasonable distance from various types of activities. We especially loved the deck and billiard room. I highly recommend!

The property was a bit dated but pretty clean. The showers are tiny and the bunk bed mattresses are very uncomfortable. On the plus side, the deck is huge & new, and the outdoor jacuzzi is great. The location is the best thing about the place- when you are there you feel a sense of privacy, but downtown Gatlinburg is only a 5-7 minute drive away & Pigeon Forge is maybe 12 minutes away. There are 2 huge gas fireplaces & it was nicely decorated for Christmas.
