Check in was clear and check out rules were clear. I had a few questions I had brought up to the owner and even though it was late I got a response right away. The house was perfect, my kids enjoyed being there at the end of our busy and full days. We will definitely be back.

Family Trip

This was a great location. In the past we stayed at a property that had a daunting driveway, this was the easiest driveway to get in and out of! We traveled with a 3 yr old and 2 yr old, I was so pleased to see that the property provided a baby gate for the stairs and a safe balcony that only had access from inside the house. This property exceeded all expectations and was just as pictured.

Perfect Christmas Getaway!

We arrived to a beautiful Christmas tree and decor, it was perfect! The house was the perfect size for a family of four adults. It was clean, beds were comfortable and a fully stocked kitchen. The driveway way flat but it is definitely up the mountain to get to the cabin, but perfect location. We loved our stay at Ski'n with The Bears!!❤️

Awesome Trip!

I came here with a group of nine, and we absolutely loved it! The views from the porch are awesome (we saw two bears!), the house is absolutely gorgeous and looks even better in person, and the hot tub and other amenities were great as well. Michelle is a great host and made sure we had everything (and more) that we needed to have an amazing trip. I think this is definitely the place to beat, and if I ever come back to Gatlinburg with a bigger group, I will absolutely be staying here again.

Everything about our stay in this Gatlinburg cabin was fantastic. We have stayed in a number of different cabins in the Ski Mountain area and this one easily is a favorite. We appreciated great communication from the host and easy-to-follow procedures. I liked that our family of four could have plenty of space to longer and relax. The updates to this cabin make for a nice experience. All the little details added up—from having plenty of towels and cookware to having a variety of entertainment options available. The dining area was also a favorite — spacious and could easily seat all of us. We’ve been in a number of cabins in this area where small dining tables are crammed in tight areas. All that to say - thankful for this stay and we’d happily book it again.
We loved the open feeling of the space and beautiful updates.

Great Location

We enjoyed our stay. Like many others have shared, great location. And Michelle was very responsive and hospitable. My kids enjoyed the games and seeing the bears. The community pool was great to have. A couple of ideas that I think would really elevate the experience - blankets in the living room, a long bench on the wall across from the toilet in the master bath, and hooks on the wall to the right of the sink in the master bath. Overall, would recommend.
