10/10 – The Perfect GetawayWe had an absolutely amazing weekend at this cabin. From the moment we walked in, it felt warm, welcoming, and incredibly cozy. Everything was clean, comfortable, and thoughtfully prepared.The special touches — especially the Valentine’s decorations — completely surprised us and made our stay feel extra special. You can tell Jenny, the owner, truly cares about creating a memorable experience.The cabin was the perfect place to relax in the evenings and just enjoy being away from the noise of everyday life. It had everything we needed and more.If you’re looking for a peaceful, comfortable getaway, this is it. We would absolutely stay here again.Highly recommend!

Host was great, shared lots of great information with us before our visit. The cabin itself was fantastic! Kitchen was very well stocked. Great selection of dishes, cookware, utensils etc.Location was also a plus, close enough to town to be convenient, yet still very much in the woods. Even though you are surrounded by other cabins this ended up being a semiprivate lot. Having the washer/dryer at the cabin was a big plus for us!

The Good: The Bed and Bedding in the Master were amazing! Almost too good. Best sleep ever! My husband even joked about strapping the mattress to the suv and taking it home. The shower got nice and hot and was comfortable for my 6’4” husband who normally has to bend down to get under the shower head. We loved the fireplace and the kitchen was well stocked-even had some extra seasonings to cook with. The location was convenient and roads were well maintained. We spent 5 nights here and were very comfortable during our stay. The Not So Good: it’s not as “intimate” or secluded as the pictures make it seem. Especially the hot tub, which faced the street and didn’t get warmer than 99*. Sadly, there was no stream, which was the main selling point for us. And in the kitchen, some of the pans/pots had residual grease/meat left over that the dishwasher didn’t quite get. We ended up just purchasing some disposable pans from the store. A Few Minor Details: the string lights on the patio were very cute but almost half of them were out. Quite a few cobwebs hanging out inside and we didn’t run the ceiling fan because of the dust. In the early afternoon, the sun can blind you for a bit as there are no shades for the cathedral windows. This was a great rental for a couple. The upstairs loft we didn’t use but is great for kids. There is only one entrance and you need to be able to navigate the 8 stairs that lead from the road to the door.

Our stay at this cabin was absolutely wonderful. From the very beginning, the owners were in constant contact, always kind and willing to share great tips about the area and places to visit.The cabin was spotlessly clean, with plenty of blankets, towels, and all the essentials. It had every appliance we needed and a fully stocked kitchen with plenty of utensils, which made it so easy to cook and feel right at home.I especially loved the spacious and very clean bathroom — everything worked perfectly. The gas fireplace was another favorite — it worked great and made it so cozy to enjoy a hot chocolate with the family on those chilly nights.The location is super convenient and easy to get to, with no steep or scary mountain roads, which we really appreciated. The space was perfect for our family, comfortable, peaceful, and beautifully maintained.And as a special bonus, we even had a black bear walk by the cabin one morning! Such an unforgettable experience for us Floridians — we loved getting to see a bit of the local wildlife up close (from a safe distance, of course!).We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you to the wonderful hosts for making everything so easy and enjoyable.

This location was wonderful. It was at the back of a small log cabin community and from the parking spot you got a peak of the Smoky Mountains. Walking in, we noticed how lovely the fall decorations were. It made everything feel cozy for our October vacation. The kitchen was well stocked, as well as the bathrooms and laundry. The best part was at the end of a long day of hiking, you could soak in a nice jacuzzi! My wife and I really enjoyed our stay at the Blue Bear Lodge.

So a great find! Perfect cabin for a trip to the Smokys! We could wake up early and get in the park in 15 minutes. Host is very sweet and responsive. The cabin is easy to access and yet private. Very convenient to a grocery store and restaurants if you don’t want to drive into the Gatlinburg traffic-which is also super close ! The cabin was very clean, and one of the cleanest hot tubs I’ve seen. Also very thoughtfully decorated and well equipped w/ everything needed to cook. Beds were comfy, kids loved the video games and plenty of TVs! I really appreciated the extras like plenty of towels and throw blankets. Would love to visit again! Oh and we saw a bear in the neighborhood, which was neat.

This was my first VRBO rental and our host Jenny was amazing from start to finish! You NEED to book The Blue Bear Lodge! It was cute as a button and accommodated our family comfortably. Jenny had recommended so my ideas that she thought our family might enjoy, from restaurants, attractions and sightseeing. We created so many memories and our favorite was being able to sit on the deck of The Blue Bear Lodge and watch a black bear cub navigate the forest! Everything we needed was at our disposal, and as I said earlier…You NEED to book this cabin! You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for everything Jenny!!
