The family and I had a great stay here. The cabin was awesome, and was super close to town and many attractions. Would definitely stay here again when heading back to Pigeon Forge.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Pigeon Forge! The home was spotless, cozy, and clearly designed with families in mind. The layout made it easy to relax and enjoy our time together, and there was plenty of space for everyone (family of 13 with 3 under 2). The surroundings were absolutely beautiful—peaceful and scenic, yet just a short, easy walk to downtown Pigeon Forge. It was the perfect mix of convenience and charm. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a family-friendly place to stay in the Smokies!

First Time in Pigeon Forge

Great place, close to everything. Loved it would definitely book it again.

Perfect setting.

Such a great place to stay. Home away from home.
- Posted: 11/3/2024

Exceeded expectations

Great location. Quiet, yet convenient and close to attractions. Property was exactly as presented. Cabin was large and comfortable with separate spaces for children to play and adults to relax. Host was extremely responsive. Replied to a couple of questions quickly and was very accommodating. Would highly recommend this property to others.

Relaxing!

This location was beyond relaxing. I will say the parking was good and flat. But you had to walk down a hill(small but steep) to get to the cabin. My father-in-law has had knee surgery this year so he hard time with the hill. Other than that 10/10 recommend

Family weekend get together.

Very impressed with the cabin. Loved the size of rooms. Very quiet and serene. Great communication with host. Five stars all the way!

Nice place to stay!

The cabin was very nice and roomy for our family of 9. The grandkids enjoyed the fooseball and arcade games and the adults enjoyed the extra room to spread out! We enjoyed the hot tub as well, but never got to the pool area! The door entry was a little tricky. It was nice to be so close to places along the parkway. We had a few questions and issues at check-in and during the week that the owner addressed promptly. One suggestion is to have a binder in the cabin with wi-fi information, pool location and map, TV information (all were different), and check-out instructions. Overall, everyone had a nice time and would come back again.

Very Comfortable

We thoroughly enjoyed staying in this cabin. It was clean and comfortable, well-equipped and perfect for our needs. The only reason I gave 4 stars on the check-in process is because we didn't receive the entry code until after check-in time. However, I was able to contact the realtor who manages the property, and she was able to help me right away, so we got in as soon as we arrived. Thank you for providing a very nice place for us.
- Posted: 7/5/2024

Hi Rick, Thank you for your kind review of my cabin, Bear Hug. I'm glad you thoroughly enjoyed your stay and found the cabin clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. I apologize for the delay in receiving the entry code, but I'm pleased the realtor could assist you promptly. I appreciate your feedback and look forward to providing an even better experience on your next visit. Thank you for choosing my property and being wonderful guests!

Spacious great for large families with kids

Great location close to the main strip of Pigeon Forge but far enough you feel relaxed and in nature. Lodge community pool is nice. Not too much traffic going through the community so could walk on the roads safely to get to pool 0.3 mi away if you walk/drive on the roads. Or can cut through a steep hill behind and it’s basically across the street. 3 levels with bedrooms and baths on each level is great for our families to each have more privacy. My older parents only had to do the front porch steps otherwise could stay on the main level. Parking (2 spaces) was close and relatively flat and easily accessible. Hot tub is great and plenty of porch space on all levels and both sides of house. Game room in the loft kept the kids busy. The bunk beds are queens and very sturdy made of logs. Other beds are kings and comfy. Ceiling fans in every room. Lots of space. Would definitely stay here again if we come back to East Tennessee

Hey Heather! Thanks for the great review of Bear Hug. I'm glad you enjoyed the convenient and peaceful location. It's wonderful that the lodge community pool was a hit with your family. I love the different options for getting there too. I'm happy the house layout worked well for everyone. Thanks for choosing to stay with me, and I’d love to have you back for another relaxing vacation in East Tennessee. See you soon!

Our family enjoyed our stay at Bear Hug Great location

Beautiful and Spacious

My family and I were so happy with this cabin, it’s beautiful inside and out. Cozy and felt like home away from home. I hope one day we can return and stay longer because I miss it already. Plenty of room for the guests to be together or separate for some alone time after a long day. Location couldn’t be any better, very short drive to the strip in Pigeon Forge.

Thank you so much for your lovely review, Melinda! I'm thrilled to hear that you and your family felt right at home in the cabin. It's wonderful that you enjoyed the cozy atmosphere and spacious layout. The location is indeed fantastic for quick trips to the Pigeon Forge strip. I'm looking forward to welcoming you back for a longer stay soon!

This property was amazing! Beautiful cabin and very spacious. Will definitely be back!!
- Posted: 5/30/2024

We absolutely loved our stay here, the house was beautiful! Everything was clean and we felt right at home. The hot tub was one of our favorite places to spend time in at the house, and very private too. The house is in a great location with tons to do just a few minutes away, and it wasn’t hard to get to or find! Justin was so helpful when it came to recommendations on what to do with our time in pigeon forge! Every time we messaged him, we got a response super quickly. We had such a fun and relaxing stay here, I definitely recommend this house to anyone considering!

Always aiming for a great time for guests! Thanks for choosing us! Can't wait to host you again in the future!

Great getaway!

We enjoyed our stay and our experience was great! The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and close to everything!
- Posted: 4/7/2024

Perfect getaway!

We were close to EVERYTHING! Attractions, food, even a pharmacy if we needed it. The cabin has the perfect layout each group to have their privacy at night but close enough for a family hangout while the kids slept. From the moment we booked we could reach management with any question with a simple text. Absolutely perfect time!!
- Posted: 4/4/2024

Awesome place to stay

The place was amazing. Had a couple minor issues, but communication with property manager was excellent and it was taken care of. Will definitely stay here again.

Christmas at the Cabin!!!

From the beginning to the end of the trip was amazing. Easy Check in and very good communication with the owner. The cabins were clean and comfortable, felt like home. What I loved the most were we was super close to town and near the strip with all the festivities. The kids is already planning on going back for the summer! Thanks again for letting us enjoy your cabin and giving my kids a Christmas to remember! Will definitely book again soon!
