Wonderful Spring Break Getaway

We had a great stay at Bear Moon Cabin! The cabin was immaculately clean, cozy and perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the mountain views and it was the perfect home base for exploring Great Smoky Mountain National Park as well as downtown Gatlinburg.

Excellent Cabin and Vacation

The cabin is very clean and comfortable for 4 adults. We loved sitting on the decks spending time in the mountains and relaxing. The cabin is a perfect location for Gatlinburg, Pigeon forge, or the National parks. The Cabin was well equipped with everything we needed for 4 days. The owners are very responsive and courteous if you need anything. We highly recommended and look forward to future vacations at the cabin.

GREAT STAY

We had a great stay. The cabin was well appointed and very cozy. It had a great cabin feel with all the comforts and technology you would need. The location was great as we were there to hike in the National Park. We saw bears at the cabin every day we were there. We would stay here again for sure!

Cabin was lovely and was a very good stay. Somewhat outdated but overall a good place for a vacation. Kitchen flooring slipping apart, shower liners look 10yr old and busting seams, along with cobwebs in the rafters, and hot tub seemed old, jets blowing poorly and 2 blowing well, and water was cloudy once opened, and driveway was pretty steep but that’s just how it is in the mountains. However, the place was mostly clean and centric to Gatlinburg, the beds wore very comfortable and the cabin was super cozy. I would place this as a contender to come back to again
