What a great week. The house is insanely beautiful with views that are even better. Our family is spread out across the country (and some in Europe) so we gathered at Bearadise. The house has everything you’d need to keep the family entertained and also the kitchen is well-appointed. No complaints at all. The only 2 tips/suggestions I would offer is that the barn-door to the primary bedroom doesn’t totally close. It’s a great looking door but there are major gaps in it so you hear every single thing from the main living area potentially while you’re trying to sleep. In the media room I would also suggest a loose HDMI and programming to home entertainment system accordingly so people could plug in their laptops and stream things themselves rather than just the blue ray or cable. Thanks for such a great stay!

This cabin had the best location! Close to Pigeon Forge, close to Gatlinburg and the entrance to the smokies. The views were phenomenal and we saw bears everyday. We had family from age 70 to 7 in the house and it was perfect - clean, big, and entertaining. We loved the media room, game room, hot tub, the big kitchen, and all the deck space. Host was responsive to questions and we would 100% recommend this property.

The house was perfect for the 10 of us all ranging from kids to adults. There was something for everyone with the theater, game room and jacuzzi. But our favorite spot was sitting outside in the rocking chairs watching the scenery and wildlife. We saw bears and a bald eagle.

Spacious, accommodates everyone's privacy needs, and the kitchen is equipped with every culinary want imaginable. In spite of the broken blender pitcher found in the kitchen pantry, the dangerously dull cutting knives, the very soiled oven, the broken doorstop to the 3rd floor half-bath, and the unfortunate fact that the trash was not picked-up on any of the three scheduled pick-up days clearly posted on the kitchen counter, I would vacation here again. I would also recommend this cabin rental to all my family and friends. Shay, thank you for these beautifully picturesque accommodations. See you again soon.

The place is perfect for families that do not want to be around busy areas. Only a short drive to downtown. Bears in abundance. Wifi didn't work the entire time we were there. House was clean and we really enjoyed it. The elevator worked until a horrific storm came and it stopped working and property mgr said they dint work on weekends but we made do with this.

Family spring break trip to mountains. 1 senior, 4 adults, 4 teens, and 1 10 yo. Huge spaces. We all loved the theater room and recreation room (pool table, shuffle board table, arcade games, table area to play games or cards!). Kitchen fully stocked. Large decks surround home on three sides with lots of seating and jacuzzi!

The house was absolutely amazing! Clean and offered any and all of the comfort that you would need. There were 8 adults and we had more than enough room. We also were able to enjoy watching the bears which put an extra emphasis on the trip. Great place and will return without hesitation!

Great house and owners!

Beautiful place and it was perfect for us having 2 needing wheelchair accessibility. Everything worked out perfect.

We loved our stay. We were there for a family wedding. We had a great time, great views, and the bears were plentiful. My grandchildren and adult children loved watching them play and eat in the yard below the cabin. We saw bears everyday. Just a great weekend with family!

My family recently gathered at this beautiful home to celebrate my mother's 85th birthday. The house was beautiful. We enjoyed cooking almost every night in the spectacular kitchen. Everything was extremely clean and the decor and finishes were beautiful. Mom loved sitting outside on the deck with her kids and taking in the view. Only negative is that we discovered upon arrival that the elevator was broken. Due to mom's age and difficulty with stairs this was the main reason we chose this particular property. I will say that Shay was very quick to respond and did her best to get it fixed as quickly as possible, but unfortunately the problem was not resolved until our last full day. I do not fault anyone for this, just an unfortunate circumstance. Aside from this we had a fabulous trip and a great celebration. We were not as fortunate with bear sightings as other reviewers but did get to see a family of bears on our last day in front of one of the nearby houses. As others have noted, the drive up to the house is a little tricky, so strongly recommend getting to the house before dark, at least on the first day.

Spacious, comfortable, stunning views, and just hard to leave a great vacation home .

We had our family here for two weeks. I can't think of anything that could have been improved. The views are great. We really enjoyed utilizing the immense decks. Every day we were entertained by momma bears and cubs of either four or five depending on which ones showed up. The house was well stocked and in great shape. .It was big enough that we were never on top of one and other. Our sons really enjoyed the theater room . The owner was great to work with. We had one small issue and it was quickly addressed.

There were 12 of us in the group ranging in age from 6 to 77. To say that we all had a wonderful time is an understatement. The house was just as beautiful as the pictures depicted, if not more so. The views from the porches were amazing, especially the sunrises. Shay was an excellent host. She always answered my messages immediately. When there was a slight problem with the dishwasher, she sent someone right away to fix it. There were plenty of supplies in the house for all of us--towels, kitchen supplies, etc. The game room was a big hit with everybody. We saw bears everyday--Mama bear with 4 cubs, and single males. One cub even came up the front porch and stood in front of the CLOSED door. Everyone was thrilled and excited. The house was big enough that no one got in each other's way. It was perfect for a large group. We would definitely stay there again and recommend it to anyone who wants a fabulous house.

Clean and family oriented great for bad knees as well. Elevator, main floor master suite and clean

Highly recommend! Absolutely gorgeous home in a great location. We were a family of 9 - three generations from age 1 to 60 something. The house was very upscale, clean and comfortable. The kitchen was extremely well stocked, the beds and pillows were all very comfortable. The views were gorgeous! The theater room was incredible. The wrap around decks were awesome and did we see bears! A momma with 4 cubs was the highlight! Nice trails close by - the community pools were great. And Dollywood was awesome! Food City is less than 15 minutes away and was a very well stocked grocery. One small issue was quickly resolved with the attention of the property manager.

This was an amazing place for our extended family of 12 to stay for our vacation. Check in was easy and everything we needed was on hand. Views were as promised and we saw bears almost everyday of our stay. A few negatives, the bass in the movie room was so loud it was hard to hear dialog and a some of the family couldn't handle it. If that were adjustable it would be a plus. Also the chairs on the poker table were broken. Everything else was top notch. Overall a great stay and I would stay again without question!

This was a wonderful place to spend a week. Views are spectacular and the house is nothing less than amazing. We particularly enjoyed the well laid out kitchen and the movie theater. Saw bears every day!

Excellent home and Shay was very responsive. Highly recommend.

We loved this beautiful and spacious home. The views from the three wrap-around decks were amazing. The furniture was very nice and plentiful- lots of different areas for kids and adults to hang out. The kids loved the game room and hot tub. Adults spent lots of time on the deck. We could even see Dollywood fireworks from there. We had a bear family - mama and four cubs - we saw frequently. For disabled people- the elevator was amazing. The roll-in shower was gorgeous. My only complaint was that I couldn’t get on the bed without being lifted up from my wheelchair and there was not a cut-out under sink for a chair. It is really hard to find a large capacity accessible home and this one was the best we have experienced. The family thought it was awesome. I highly recommend this property! Thanks, Shay!

This rental was an awesome place to stay. The rooms are spacious, the decor was beautiful, and plenty of parking in front of the rental. The room where we watched movies was so nice. The recliners in the movie room were so comfortable and nice soft throws were also provided while watching movies. The kitchen is very spacious and plenty of room to store food. The kitchen was well equipped with pans, dishes, and stainless for our family of ten. There are 3 levels of decks with plenty of chairs to sit in while we were outside and also some tables. Our grandkids loved the hot tub which was on the second level deck. We even had a bear come to our parking spot on our first day here, and on our last day here, we saw a Momma bear with her 3 cubs. Because of where we were located, the view was spectacular all around the house. The rental was also situated about a 2 minute driving distance from the swimming pool, tennis courts, and basketball courts. Our family would not hestitate to come back to this beautiful place.

We enjoyed this property very much! Our group if friends (11 of us) travel together every year except when covid hit. This was our first get together in 2 years! We have two people in wheelchairs so the elevator was required! Would definitely recommend this property and would stay here again!!

We originally scheduled the trip for Christmas 2020, and had to reschedule the trip twice due to COVID. Shay was very understanding and with our rebooking requests and we are very appreciative of her flexibility. Let me tell you, it was well worth the wait and we were blown away with the house, amenities, and spectacular views from every window and balcony. When browsing properties in the area, we were taken with this house because it was nice mix of modern and rustic, with touches that truly made it feel like home. It's built for large groups and we took advantage of everything - the hot tub, cinema room, pool table, arcade games, popcorn maker, etc. With a group of 12, aged 1 to 71, there was something for everyone. The kitchen was equipped with plenty of dinnerware, flatware, cooking utensils, and pots/pans for us to make large meals for the group a few nights throughout our stay. We had such a wonderful time and we're so bummed that it's over. Thank you, Shay, for providing such a beautiful space for us to create new memories after two years of uncertainty and stress.

This property was extremely clean and well maintained. We had everything we needed in the kitchen to make meals and lots of space for everyone! Highly recommend! We had one issue with the media room and Shay handled it immediately! Great place with great views!

This chalet is by far the best vacation home we have ever stayed in. So much room, so many amenities. We didn’t want to leave!! 5+ stars for sure!! We got to cheer on our Bengals in the Media room, played lots of pool, little ones played lots of video games, and we just relaxed and enjoyed the gorgeous view!!! Thank you for sharing your beautiful home with us! We will be back!

The home was perfect for our family Christmas vacation! It was decorated so nicely for Christmas and had such a homey feel. It was a great week of unwinding and enjoying family time. Thank you so much Shay!

The property owner did an AMAZING JOB with this property!! Our stay was nice, TOP NOTCH CLEAN, and comfortable!!!! She decorated it great for Christmas so we had a grand Christmas tree for our presents to go under. Had us a welcome basket, which came in handy. She thought of everything you could think of. I even saw baby gates for the stairs, which we didn't need, but I thought was thoughtful to have for the guests that need them. Parking was excellent!! No odd driveway. We had 3 big vehicles able to back right on up to unload. Very good communication with the owner. I had to message her on multiple occasions, and she always responded politely within minutes. Excellent service and cleaning service! We will definitely stay here again!!

We had a wonderful time in your beautiful house! What a surprise that it was decorated for Christmas! When we read the guest book, we noted that so many previous guests had seen bears. Alas, we did not .... We also forgot to sign the guest book...Sorry. We really loved your house! It was perfect for our family. Ages ranged from 17 mos. to 70 yrs. Thank you!!!!

We loved this beautiful chalet..everyone had a great stay..we got to see mama bear and her 3 cubs on the road up to chalet...we saw a male bear off of the deck..so exciting..my grandmother has dementia and jerked on the elevator door from the outside. Called shay and she was so kind.and told me where to find the key to fix it...we hated to leave this beautiful" Bearadise "

This home is stunning and made our trip just perfect! The house is exactly as described and we loved everything about it. It is gorgeous, beautifully decorated, has everything you could want and the views are spectacular. If you aren’t used to the mountains, the drive up to the house can be very intimidating but we got used to it. Within an hour of arriving we got our first visit from some bears, everyone was so excited. We saw bears almost every day we were there. A mama bear and her 3 cubs were hanging out in front, another climbed right up onto the porch and another helped itself to some gum inside one of our cars (don’t forget to lock your cars!) The theater room was great, we had family movie night and used the popcorn maker almost every night. We enjoyed many activities in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg almost every day with the drive being about 10-15 minutes. The elevator was perfect as we had several adults with either injuries or recovering from recent surgery. We had one issue with the elevator but I contacted the owner and she immediately called me and helped us work through it. She was great to work with and so helpful. I love coming to this area and now, since staying here, it is hard to imagine staying anywhere else. My entire family loved it and we were so sad to leave! Thank you so much to Shay for opening your beautiful home and allowing us to have this amazing experience!
