We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was too small to hang out in for a long period of time. We were gone most of the day so it worked for us. We will definitely stay again.

It was relatively quite and conviently locared to most of Pigeon Forge's main attractions. It was smaller inside than I thought it was going to be. I think I saw the pictures of one of the 3 bigger cabins instead of the smaller ones. The hot water did run out before all of us got showers each night. We either took cold showers or split up taking showers at night and the next morning . Be very careful with kids or adults , climbing up onto the top bunk, the ceiling fan when turned on is very close to their heads on the way up.

Decent cabin for cost, great staff, smelly bed
The staff, hands down, are the most polite people I have ever encountered for hotel/cabins. The cabins are cute and the property is beautiful. My only issue is it didn't feel like the sheets were clean but I am not 100 % sure. My daughter's bunk smelled bad. However, the cabin was quaint, it kept heat well (we stayed in winter and it was cold nights) and honestly other than the sheets/smell it was a good experience.

It was very clean. Hot water showers. It was quiet and the scenery around the cabin was beautiful. We only slept and showered there so it suited our needs. We were one mile from all the attractions. The staff was friendly. We'll be staying again.

There was one cleanliness issue that had to be addressed upon our arrival, but the staff addressed this immediately upon being made aware of the problem. My son and I were in Pigeon Forge for baseball at the Ripken Experience. It is very convenient to these fields. Price was great as well. Ideal, if you are only going to Pigeon Forge and need a place to sleep on a tight budget.

Quiet location
Mattresses had deep groves from use. You felt like you fell down a hill. It would have been nice to have a toaster especially since we were charged $5.00/day for some "Resort Fee" when it is not a resort. I liked the dog park. Staff was very friendly & accommodating.

Great for the price
We had four nights at our cabin, and it was in a lovely apot, private but close to everything. Clean, new interiors and well-insulated. Very friendly check in but we really didn't see any other service for the rest of the time that we were there. We had to go in search of fresh towels. We had one of the two heater units that did not work, but it was not so cold that it created problems for us. The grounds were well kept, there was a cute little dog park, and we felt very private. Firewood was provided for us which was a nice amenity. There was a stove top but no oven, a nice little refrigerator, microwave, and tiny little coffee pot. The mattresses were not the most comfortable, and really my only complaint was that they definitely should invest in an upgrade. We would definitely consider staying here again, and it was a good bargain.

Nice Location, Would Stay Again, Recomended, But..
Everything was really good in our Cabin but the Hot Water when taking a shower lasts about 7 minutes and the takes about 4+ hours to warm up to just over room temperature. Went to office the next day and they had a Maintenance man come out nearly immediately. Still the hot water doesn't last long enough for 2 adult showers. The facilities were very nice and they keep it clean. Then came the SHOCK - they too 50% of the money before we arrived when we selected to pay on arrival at Hotels.com, when we went to the office the next morning they had charged us MORE for our stay even after they had taken 50% of the money before we arrived and claimed it was an added fee from Hotels.com after we had already got the full priced amount from Hotels.com. This was not appreciated at all !!

Clean, comfortable, hospitable and nice.
Me and my friend wanted a last second trip and decided to come here. I was able to book the weekend late Friday before they closed and they allowed late check-in; it was very easy and they were very helpful when I called to ensure I could do a late check-in. We arrived around 1 a.m. and had no problems finding the cabin. It was very clean and quaint. The bedding was fair. I think an extra blanket would of been nice in winter. I brought my own pillows and I suspect a lot of travelers do that also, but the pillows here were acceptable. Beds were comfortable, the kitchen area works well with the limited space. If you can, cook and eat outside ;) The location is great and it is easy to get around from here. Our main attraction was the mountains and rivers. We ate breakfast at Paula Deans on the Island and it was a fantastic meal. I hope you enjoy your stay here if you come for a visit. We hope to stay here again over the summer and know we will need to reserve a cabin many months in advance.

Small affordable cabin close to attractions
We loved our stay here. It is hard to find a place to stay when you vacation with a Labrador and a Great Dane. This place allowed us to bring our pets with a reasonable fee. The rates are quite affordable. The cabin was absolutely adorable! All the places we wanted to eat or go were nearby. This place is conveniently located to the Parkway and just down the street from Dollywood. Will definitely stay again.

Great cozy cabin
If you are ready foe another type of staying, this is the option. Comfortable and has the basics. No closets so leave all your clothes in your luggage. Near Old Mill and well located. Cabin is part of a RV park. Overall experience was very good but for the same amount of money you can find a Hotel with more space. Great one time

Tiny house accommodation
We rented a cabin which slept up to 5, thankfully our oldest decided not to come there would have not been enough room for her. It was like a version of Tiny house nation that wasn't thought out enough. There was not enough storage for our belongings especially after you come back with souvenirs. The location was perfect and beautiful but the accommodations could have been better. It probably would have been better for two people. The is no table to eat at when you do cook which the kids were fine with but for adults it becomes not so good.

Birthday Getaway!
We came to celebrate my birthday and at first I was concerned about the size of the cabin... But it exceeded all expectations. I never sleep well on vacations but I wanted to take the mattress home with me! It was so comfortable! My children loved the cabin. We are definitely coming back.

We loved our cabin! Clean, friendly staff and perfect location. We're already planning our next stay! We ended up having 5 adults and 2 kids in the small cabin. We probably should have gotten the bigger cabin, but it was good for just a 2 night stay!

Fantastic no frill bargain
The small cabins at Bear Cove Village are not for everyone. The cabins are actually specialized mobile homes. They are very tiny, but most every bit of space is maximized. Our family of five was cramped during day to day activities but sleeping at night was no problem. Next time, we will opt for the larger cabin that sleeps 8. The cabins are at the upper edge of what is mostly an RV park. There are two swimming pools, as well as a playground, laundry facilities, hiking trails, and even a small dog park. This is just a short driving distance from most of the local tourist attractions and one mile from Dollywood. We heard very little of the traffic from where we were located. The cabins are clean and tidy. Ours was not well stocked with necessities like toilet paper. And travelers should plan on bringing their own soap and shampoo or plan on paying for it on site. And you might as well bring your own linens. We thought that the "small fee" for towels and blankets was one time not a daily fee. I was impressed with the wifi available. There were no complicate logging in or passwords required. And the signal and speed were far better than we have received in other hotels. We got a great value for the price we paid and would definitely stay again.

The cabin was new, clean and perfect for what we needed it for. Brought one of our grandchildren to Dollywood and it was less than 3 min. away, easy access.
