Perfect family cabin + got to observe family of 5 bears!
Stayed in this cabin with our two children, 9 and 7. Didn't even need to use the third bedroom. Master bedroom (upstairs) has couch on the landing just outside the room which our 7yo decided would help her feel closer to us, so that was also a plus. Television in the master and one of the lower level rooms so kids had their own tv with cable and on-demand cartoons. Got to see a family of 5 bears (one mama + 4 adolescents) on a Sunday morning when there were no construction workers around and driving in and out. There is a lot of construction around these mountains due to the fires several years ago and to the area's popularity, so the weekends were best for observing wildlife. 15 minute drive to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge so location was perfect. We really enjoyed our stay.

Relaxing and beautiful
This was an amazing property! We went to Tennessee celebrating our 18 year anniversary with a couple members of our family. My sister and I did a lot of research checking out different cabins in the area. This one definitely stuck out to me because of the Christmas décor. I am 100% a sucker for Christmas bears!! We arrived to our cabin about 6 PM and there were 2 bears one was walking underneath of the deck absolutely breathtaking I loved watching them in their habitat looking for ants or whatever they were looking for It was quite amazing! When we went inside of the cabin it was absolutely gorgeous All of the pinewood everything was clean No bugs or critters inside. The only issue that we had at this cabin was the picnic table outside But we let them know they immediately said that they would get that taken care of. On the last day we were there we had another visit from the 2 bears we watched them look for food Climb a tree it was just absolutely perfect they came to visit on our 1st night there and on our last to say goodbye lol. I would absolutely go back to this cabin again. I will say though the 1st day driving up was a little scary Once I got comfortable driving it it didn't seem so scary.

Absolutely Amazing
My family and I could not have been happier with the Christmas Bear cabin. If you want a cabin to look rustic but still feel top of line -this is it. Huge wrap around porch to look at the views, watch the wild life -which there is no shortage of!! This cabin was beyond clean when we arrived. The cabin came with so many amenities which is extremely helpful when traveling with kids! From fully stocked linens and towels to a bottle of dish soap! They really think of everything to help your stay!! I will say -the roads are a bit tricky and can be a bit scary at times , but that’s the nature of staying in the mountains!! I would recommend leaving your car at the bottom of the driveway and just walk up the driveway! You won’t be disappointed by the Christmas Bear. Our kids are 9,6,and 1. And this cabin was perfect for us!

Beautiful cabin, spectacular view!
We loved staying in this cabin! It’s far enough up the mountain to feel secluded yet close enough to town. The view from the side porch is amazing. It took a few days to get used to the drive up and down (we don’t have roads like that where we’re from) but I’m so glad we stayed up there. It really is beautiful. The cabin was clean and had the supplies we needed to start the week. We had a great time!
