Great Property for Family Getaway

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bear Tales with 6 adults and 5 grandkids. The location provided a woodsy feeling yet was close to al of the activities in Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and the Smokey Mountains National Park. We would definitely stay here again! Thank you for providing an excellent fully-equipped lodge.
