We thought this was a really nice cabin. The trip was for two families, and we had plenty of bedrooms available. The vibes were great, and the structure felt solid. The pool table, game room, and hot tub were wonderful in the basement. Fireworks for July 4th were extremely visible from the main floor deck. Overall we really enjoyed our stay. If we had one small nit (nothing to do with the house), it’s that the road up to the cabin is a bit steep, so be a little prepared. The house itself was phenomenal.
We will be back! Amazing view from the chalet. Easy access to downtown Gatlinburg. Our family had the best week here and was not ready to leave. Thank you for having us. Cant wait to be back already!
Highly recommend! Absolutely amazing!! The view is breathtaking, the cabin, rooms, kitchen, amenities- Spectacular. Communication with Morgan and Chris was quick and so friendly. It easily accommodated 6 adults and 4 kids. Cannot wait to come back
Everything was wonderful!! Communication was wonderful the cabin was beautiful decorated for Christmas and plenty of room. The experience was awesome for a family Christmas. I highly recommend.
Superb cabin offers all the comforts away from home. Clean, cozy, comfortable and charming! Hosts are responsive and helpful. Our stay was exceptional!
The property was excellent with the best views we've had yet in the Smokies. The property was very clean and well taken care of with plenty of kitchen ware and towels. Chris was very helpful with quick communication. We would definitely visit the property again.
We had a great time! The view from the deck is fantastic (overlooking the mountains and Gatlinburg) and we enjoyed that a lot. They also had kids plates and cups and cutlery and a pack n play which was really helpful. The parking situation seemed to be one of the better ones on the mountain, and we could easily fit our two SUVs. Would recommend!
We had a great time at the Papa Bear Chalet. It was a nice house with a beautiful view. The owners were absolutely wonderful. We highly recommend this property.
My family of 6 with 4 kids in their 20s LOVED the chalet. It's location was perfect for hiking in the park and getting to town. The pool table and hot tub were also huge hits. The house was very welcoming for the holidays- it even had a beautifully decorated Christmas tree!
Great cabin with a beautiful view! Our extended family of 8, including our 4 year old granddaughter, really enjoyed our stay at Papa Bear. Plenty of space for us all to hang out and not be on top of each other, but also areas that we can come together and still have room to move. Would stay again.
We had a great time at this property. The accommodations were great and the amenities were plenty. Comfortable, clean, and large enough for our family of 5 (adults and teens). My only complaint was that the mattresses were very firm and I did not find them super comfortable but the rest of my family did not have a problem with them :)
We had a great time at Papa Bear Chalet. This house was a perfect size for our group (5 adults and 2 kids). We especially enjoyed spending time on the massive decks, taking in the beautiful view of the Smokies above Gatlinburg. The location provided easy access into Gatlinburg and the national park. We saw lots of bears, and the access to the community pools was great for the hot summer days. If you're taking a trip to the Smokies, we would definitely recommend staying here!
We had an amazing time at Papa Bear Chalet! The chalet was beautiful and the property/views were incredible! We enjoyed spending time on the deck every morning and the chalet had everything we needed. The guide was thorough and easy to understand. Chris and Morgan were very communicative and made the stay so much better! We will absolutely be back in the future.
This home and owner were first class. The home is big, clean and has amazing views. Went 2nd week of November, saw black bears each day, just walking around. The game room was so much fun, large hot tub and great kitchen/family room. Host was awesome, always in touch and giving information as we went along. Totally recommend if you are staying in Gatlinburg.
We had a great girls trip here. House was nice and clean. The bears visited us as soon as we arrived which we absolutely loved. Plenty of room for all of us, beds were comfortable and there is an absolute beautiful view off the deck. I would recommend shopping before you get there if you want coffee or tea in the morning. We thought there was going to be coffee pods when we arrived (at least enough for the first day, but unfortunately there wasn’t, which really isn’t a big deal. Just make sure you bring them with you. We had a great time here and I would definitely recommend this home and would go back again. We’ve already started planning our trip here for next year.
Our family of five and our dog loved our long weekend and celebrating Easter in your beautiful home, plenty of room for everyone! Our 3 young boys had a blast in the game room and enjoyed watching the gondola pass by. We watched the sunrise outside on the deck every morning! This home is clean, well maintained, and fully stocked. We also loved the proximity to downtown Gatlinburg and the national park entrance which made exploring the area easy. The property owners had great communication both leading up to and throughout our stay. Our boys are already asking if we can visit again :)
We picked this property for its location close to Ober Mountain skiing. It was perfect. The cabin was just as pictured. Easily fit our family. 2 adults and 5 kids under 13. They loved the games and hot tub. We ordered in most nights and were surprised they delivered up the mountain! Super cozy and just what we needed.
We were here with the kids and grandkids for Spring Break. This cabin is incredible, the views of downtown Gatlinburg and the mountains were breathtaking. The cabin was just as listed. Plenty of room. Kitchen was well equipped with everything we needed. Grandkids loved the pool table and the video games. And we all enjoyed the hot tub! Great communication with the owners. Thank you for allowing us to stay in your cabin! Would love to come back!
The cabin is incredible!!!!! The views are spectacular, you can see for miles. This cabin has everything you need plus things you didn't know that you needed. The kitchen is fully stocked, beds are very comfy, you will sleep like a baby after a day in the park or shopping downtown. The decor is rustic and beautiful you feel at home as soon as you open the door. Parking is level and easy. We seen bears everyday so keep your car doors locked. Communication was great with the Host!!! We will definitely stay again.
Amazing property! We had 3 couples in their 50's for a long weekend and thoroughly enjoyed the hot tub, game room, and the incredible views from the decks. You're overlooking Gatlinburg at night and it's beautiful. The only thing I would suggest is when driving in go through town and take Ski Mountain road up. It's much easier. Totally worth the windy roads to stay in such an outstanding rental. It was very clean, well stocked with towels, blankets, etc. and the kitchen supplies - pots, pans, cookware - was better than any other rental we've stayed in. The owners were extremely communicative without being bothersome. Highly recommend!
This place was absolutely amazing. The cabin itself was wonderful - clean, spacious, beautiful. There were 7 of us and we had more than enough room. The view from the decks were stunning. We loved being able to see not only the tram from Ober go by but also seeing the city down below. One of the best cabins we’ve ever stayed in, and we’ve been coming to the mountains every year for almost 10 years now. Communication with the owners was perfect. We didn’t have any issues but I know we would have had no problems getting in touch if we did. They checked on us to make sure everything was good.
