Perfect mountain oasis!

We had 3 adults and 2 kids (age 10 and 12) stay for 6 nights during spring break and everything was better than we expected. The jacuzzi and indoor pool worked perfectly and amenities were abundant, even provided toiletries. We really enjoyed how secluded the neighborhood was, away from the resort towns. Definitely enjoyed ourselves!

Wonderful cabin with great amenities

We had an absolutely incredible stay at this cabin! From the moment we walked in, it was clear this place was designed with fun and relaxation in mind. The game room was a big hit with everyone—hours flew by as we played pool, air hockey, and arcade games. The movie room was another standout feature, with comfy seating and a massive screen that made our movie nights feel like a private theater experience.The cherry on top, though, was the indoor pool. It was such a luxury to have a private swimming area where we could unwind at any time of day, regardless of the weather. The cabin itself was spacious, clean, and beautifully decorated, offering plenty of cozy spots to relax when we weren’t enjoying the amenities.The location was perfect too—close enough to all the attractions, but still tucked away in a serene, peaceful setting. We couldn’t have asked for a better getaway, and we’re already planning our next trip back! Highly recommend this cabin for families, groups, or anyone looking for a perfect blend of comfort and entertainment.

Accommodating Cabin and Good Location

Over all is was nice just needs a refresh Accommodations were good location and we enjoyed visiting Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge The game room downstairs looked bigger in photos but kids would probably have a good time We were 4 adults and stayed in main living space We didn’t use the hot tub as it is only for 2 and we were 4 We didn’t use the indoor pool

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was just like photos. Everything there to cook. Gas grill worked perfect. The whole process to rent cabin was very easy. It’s beautiful inside and out. I had a little trouble with pool code but owner responded right away. Even had maintenance call to make sure we were good. Turns out it was operator error. Lol. When you enter code there is a ✔️ bottom left after code. The pool was great for younger kids. Teenagers took it over when younger kids got out. Basket of beach towels and water wings were a plus. First time kids didn’t complain they were bored. Which was nice for the adults who just wanted to relax. There are just so many small things the owner thought of. Loved the gas fireplace. And there are definitely bears! The drive up is a little unnerving first time but gets better each trip. The only reason I can think of for not renting this cabin would be if you can’t climb stairs. Showers upstairs or downstairs only. We will definitely be back again!

Great getaway

Fantastic stay in a wonderful cabin. We ventured out a couple times but could have easily spent the entire trip in the home. Pool was warm, hot tub was hot, poker, bumper pool, video games - we never got tired of any of it. Really incredible home and a great host.

Great cabin for families!!

Bear Cub Splash was perfect for our weekend family getaway! Very spacious with lots of room for everyone to spread out and make themselves at home. The pool and tv room downstairs was a favorite for our 3 teenagers! The kitchen was well stocked and the grill worked great. Highlight of our stay was a visit right outside our back porch from a mama bear and 3 cubs. We watched them for almost 30 min playing and climbing trees. Once in a lifetime experience! Thanks Katy for sharing your cabin with us! ❤️

Beautiful Cabin, Bears Every Day

This was a beautiful wooden cabin where we could observe bears wandering past and a pretty mountain view. Loved using the hot tub. Lots of stair climbing but we were glad for the exercise! My son loved the game room. We had a great stay! Thank you!

First trip to TN

The property was amazing! Not gonna lie the drive up to the property is a little nerve wracking because of the narrow winding roads but after a few tries you get used to them! Property owners were great and responded immediately to two small issues we had and corrected them instantly. Would highly recommend this property to anyone who wants to rent a cabin in the woods with lots to keep you and your family occupied without ever leaving the house! Oh and the bear sightings are amazing too!! Our family really enjoyed our first time in TN!

We had a great time.

We had a great time with our stay. Just a few minor things I had issues with. One was the pool dirty and cold it was locked on 71. The beds need new mattress. And the problem with the light fixtures in upstairs bedroom and downstairs air conditioning which was respond fixed same day. Ms Kathy respond was quick with the fix. Love seeing the bears. If you rent the cabin better love stairs cause it’s up and down with sleep, play, and wash clothes.

Gorgeous property - perfect get away!

Cabin was EXACTLY what we were looking for! Beautiful mountain view, tons of space and close enough to downtown Gatlinburg to get back and forth easily. Best of both worlds - quiet and peaceful space close nearby lots of fun stuff to do. Amenities on property great for teenage girls - reliable wifi, streaming services, movie room, arcade games, hot tub and a small indoor pool. Would definitely stay here again. Thanks to the awesome hosts!!

We are midwesterners with two children. We love to travel and explore new places. We almost always find something new about the Smokies whenever we visit our cabin. We love sharing our cabin with families who love exploring!

Why they chose this property

We are a very active family and love travel and adventure. We love exploring Gatlinburg's many outdoor adventures and local attractions, as well as spending family time in the cabin. We chose it for the view, location, indoor pool...there truly is something for everyone in our cabin!

What makes this property unique

Not many cabins have an indoor pool which allows for swimming year round! Great spot to relax or to wear out the kiddos at the end of a long day!
