Wonderful time and facility.

Great property. Very narrow driveway so we had to be careful. Had to get used to the stepdown to the great room and the rug in the great room needs a pad and was slippery. Routine bulbs need to be replaced

Family vaca

The home is beautiful and location is amazing! We could not use half the TV’s, half the a/c’s were not working, the management company has control of thermostats, we went 3 days before the a/c’s were worked on. They turned the heat on the last two nights we were there. Miserable to sleep and unable to control the temperatures ourselves. There is only one hot tub not two as advertised. They have an electric fence around the back yard, which of course our youngest grandchild got shocked. No mention of the fence in the listing. House needs some maintenance and TLC. I would also recommend removing the rugs in the main living area and downstairs gaming area. Major tripping and slipping hazards. Light bulbs need replacing, master bed felt like an earthquake everytime my hubby rolled over. The four rooms upstairs are connected with dilapidated sliding doors. Not much privacy from each other

Even better in person

The cabin is beautiful, the view is amazing and the drive is not bad at all. Very close to town. We had 19 of us and everybody slept comfortably and complimented the beds and comforters. They were seriously the most comfortable beds. My daughter said they felt like clouds. We will definitely be coming back.

Amazing stay

The house is absolutely gorgeous, pictures does not do it justice, the beds were so so comfortable, the views unbelievable and we got to see a few bears which was what we wanted, one of the best parts was the communication with the owners! They would check in with us to make sure everything was ok to our liking, you just can’t get that anywhere, they really care, I would give this place a 1000/10

Really Enjoyed The Cabin!

The Bear Paw cabin was perfect! It is a beautiful cabin with great details all around. The beds were very comfortable and clean. Master bathroom is to die for lol. We spent the 4th of July there and was able to see fireworks right from the back deck, saved us from having to go into downtowns traffic. We are from the Midwest (flat land) so the drive up the mountain was a little scary especially at night, but it was doable and only last a couple of minutes. The cabin is private and we were able to make as much noise as we wanted all night. We were also visited daily by a bear! The host had already warned us about the bears so we were prepared. The bear was in its own world and never really noticed us despite the fact that we were pretty loud and exited to see it. Really solidified our trip to the smoky mountains. I couldn’t think of a better way to visit the smoky than the Bear Paw cabin! It was perfect!

Amazing Coabin w/Crazy View

We loved the cabin. The view of downtown with the mountains behind it are amazing. We did have a large male bear one afternoon and a mom with 3 cubs another. The cabin itself is an incredible house. It is ready for some small maintenance as almost all are these days. The top rack on the dishwasher has issues, some interior trim work is needed, water pressure is lower when everyone is getting ready at the same time, same with hot water. We did have people in every bedroom using the showers at similar times. Kitchen could use another frying pan and sauce pot; also potholders. The owners/managers communicated very well. Nice people! We would stay again for sure. The place was fun and the entire family enjoyed it. This is an easy $3.5 mil home and you will be impressed by the structure.
