Family Trip

We had a great time. The cabin was excellent. We weren't there all that much - but it made for a perfect "home" at the end of each busy day. We were really spoiled while we were there. We are only a family of 4 so each kid had their own bedroom and essentially own bathroom. They loved it. They loved the hot tub and the multiple porches. We were thankful to have a washer and dryer as well. The cabin provided everything we needed. I brought extra t.p. and paper towels but didn't end up needing them. I was glad to have brought extra kleenex though. We were able to easily park outside the cabin. And we enjoyed the location - we often took the back roads to avoid the craziness of downtown Gatlinburg. I thought the cabin was an excellent location for keeping us near all that we wanted to do, but with also giving us the mountain-cabin feel that we wanted. oh, and the Wi-Fi worked very well too! April was a wonderful and welcoming host. Thank you for a great week! Your home is beautiful

Clean and very comfortable, fully equipped cabin. Family can enjoy time together with only a 10 minute drive to downtown and all the activities. Only one glitch with the parking space but doable.

One of our best stays

This was by far the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in. No pet smells or dirty rugs that smell like feet. It is conveniently located close to everything. We even saw a momma bear and a cub. We will definitely consider staying here again if there is availability. Thanks Dave and April.

Beautiful!

I blindly booked the 5 Bears cabin with only looking at the pictures on line. I was very pleased with how accurate the pictures were and beautiful the mountain view was from the deck. I was also impressed with how clean the cabin was. The booking and checking in was extremely easy. My family will be booking again!

Great Location in Gatlinburg

This cabin is fantastic! Very clean, well maintained, tons of space, easy communication with owners. Our family had a great time here! It isn't super secluded but it is a very nice, quiet area and easy to drive in. The location is also perfect, it's only about 10-15 minutes to Gatlinburg. You can avoid a lot of the traffic by using one of the first parking garages on the left in downtown. We thought everything was great and if we come back to the area we would stay here again. Highly recommend :)

Five Bears Cabin = 5 Stars

As a grandparent, you strive to make your grandkids smile. Five Bears Cabin did exactly that. From the bunk beds, game room and hot tub to playing card games at the big dining table, they smiled. Thank you so much for making them happy. Gail and Mike

Great Smoky Mountains Trip!

The cabin was roomy and well equipped for a large family. It was a short drive from downtown Gatlinburg and the GSMNP. We loved being close to everything but also far enough away that it was peaceful. The owners were responsive and helpful with anything we needed. Would come back here again!

Happy Place

This cabin was our happy place for a whole week. It was perfect for our multi family vacation. It’s located close to downtown Gatlinburg. And, close to a trolley stop where you can park for free and ride the trolley into town instead of paying $20/day to park downtown. We loved playing the games at the cabin - connect 4 bolted to a wall, baggo on the balcony, etc. We greatly enjoyed the hot tub. The owners are fantastic to work with. They are super helpful and friendly. I will say we weren’t impressed with the pool - LOTS of ants around the pool, and the water was cloudy. But, we loved everything about the cabin, so we had a good experience regardless.

About the host

Hosted by April and Dave

Host profile image
Peaks & Palms Vacation Rentals is small and family owned & operated. We are hands-on owners and bring a sensible guest-minded approach to rates, updates, amenities, and style.
We have 3 log cabins in Gatlinburg, TN, the gateway to the Great Smoky Mountains; and a condo just steps away from the beach in Siesta Key!

We are frequent visitors to the Smokies and love all that is has to offer and are always ready to head back whether for hiking, viewing wildlife, taking our kids for walks in nearby creeks, go-carting, or just driving through the beautiful Smoky Mountain National Park to enjoy the scenery.

Why they chose this property

This is our 3rd cabin in the same resort. It was previously with a management company so it needed updating, maintenance, and TLC. The cabin is in a perfect location to enjoy the many activities available in the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area. It is quiet and relaxing and feels like you are miles from hustle and bustle, yet it is minutes from everything.

What makes this property unique

We love this cabin and it shows! You won't find a 3 bedroom cabin in better condition in the area. We are constantly working to improve our guest's experience with modern updates to the kitchen and bathrooms and a high standard for keeping up on maintenance.
We make sure you have an equipped kitchen, fresh stain, tasteful décor, and will tend to the small things by simply fixing that thing that is broken to ensure you have a great time! It is located near the Arts & Crafts Community where you can spend hours (or maybe days) viewing and buying things from local craftspeople. We are about a mile to Rocky Top Sports World. You can sit on the covered decks sipping coffee while you plan your day and enjoy the beauty of our cabin's location. In 2020 this cabin underwent a major kitchen renovation, and in 2021 the bathrooms & master bedroom were remodeled.
