Excellent communication from the host from the very beginning of the process. The cabin was exceptionally clean, cozy, and well appointed. A great value.Kirk even made sure there was a meat thermometer in the kitchen so we could cook our Thanksgiving turkey! We loved the privacy and the conveniences nearby as well.

Feel at Home

This cabin had such a comfortable, welcoming feeling. Great location off the main Hwy in a secluded area yet still close enough to town that you can be there in 3-5 minutes. Very clean cabin and beds that make you look forward to the days end.

Fantastic cabin!

We had a great time at Bear Acres! The cabin was beautiful with everything you could need for your stay. The location was perfect, peaceful and quiet up in the forest but only a 2 minute drive to Townsend. We had two brilliant evenings out at Company Distilling down the road and definitely prefer staying on the ‘peaceful side’ of the Smokies.

Gorgeous cabin on a great property!

My husband and his father loved the cabin! Great location right in the edge of Townsend, but an actual private cabin. Not a carefully angled photo to make it look private. This cabin is as great as it looks! The hosts are super friendly and keep a very clean well kept and stocked cabin. We will definitely be back!

Cozy Weekend Getaway

We absolutely loved our weekend stay at Bear Acres Getaway! The location is just minutes from some of the best restaurants, hikes, and excursions in the area—we spent a beautiful morning in Cades Cove. There’s still so much we didn’t get to do, like tubing, mountain biking, and horseback riding, so we’re already looking forward to coming back in the summer.Kirk was incredibly responsive and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. The house was very well stocked, with plenty of linens and towels for our group of six. We were especially impressed that there was more than enough hot water for everyone—something that can be hard to find with a larger group!The kitchen was well equipped, and the living space felt cozy and perfect for spending quality time together. We also loved the wraparound upper deck—it was the ideal spot for relaxing and hanging out in the evenings.

Very Comfortable!

Great location, complete home away from home, owners thought of everything one may need during their stay. Close enough to "town" but secluded enough to not know it. Interior stairs were a little tricky for us older folks.

Quiet and Clean!

We had an amazing stay at Bear Acres! The hosts were super hospitable and provided everything you can think of! Fully stocked kitchen, with pots, pans, utensils, Tupperware, paper goods etc! We cooked dinner two nights and it was a breeze with all the supplies. Everything was very clean and comfortable! We loved the indoor fireplace, as well as the fire pit outside! It’s very close to town with lots to do! We cannot wait to go back!

Such a wonderful weekend

We had the best time at Bears Acres Getaway! The cabin was so charming, clean, and accommodating! These owners have thought of everything its guests might want or need in a cabin rental! The city of Townsend was a perfect place to get out and explore with its lifestyle charm, and Cades Cove was the most perfect hidden gem to explore! You are also a 30 minute entertaining drive to Pigeon Forge to experience all the amenities the strip has to offer or Dollywood! We very much enjoyed our time within the township Townsend had to offer as well as the time on the outdoor porch blowing bubbles with our children, time spent on the porch around the fire pit, and time spent around the bonfire with s’mores!

Quiet and Cozy in Townsend

The cabin is super cozy and well maintained. The owner’s obviously take pride in this property, and it shows! Super fun and leisurely outside setup-awesome deck and chairs, gas fire table, wood burning fire pit, grill, and picnic table! The cabin has comfortable furniture and was very clean. Great kitchen and washer/dryer. They provided basic toiletry items for comfort and convenience. The owner’s also gave very thorough instructions with pictures on how to access the hill/driveway as well as the cabin. The property is quiet and private, but still close to the main road, which was great! We will definitely return!

The perfect spot! If I could give a higher rating I would

My family stayed here for 4nights/5days. It felt as though we were deep in the mountains away from everyone but in reality we were just 1 minute from the main road! The cabin is beautiful and the wrap around porch is the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the outdoors. Upon entering I was immediately impressed by how spotless this cabin was. It is the cleanest cabin we have ever stayed in. Our boys loved their space downstairs and the livingroom is huge! The owner of the cabin reached out prior to check in and was available to answer any questions we had. We have been renting in Townsend since 2015 and this was hands down our best experience with a rental. For future stays we will be booking this cabin again.
