Bear Paw: MtnView•HotTub•King Beds•Dollywood Tkt

Great cabin and location, very clean and the beds were comfortable - the hot tub and sauna room were awesome. The location was awesome - a few steep roads, but manageable compared to other cabins I have stayed in.

If I could suggest one improvement, it would be to somehow simplify the multi-remote issue for the TVs.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a great stay in Bear Paw. The home was very clean and perfect for our family of 4. We enjoyed the Mountain Views while staying there. We seen 5 bears. One day we seen a bear outside in the driveway and later found out it was on our truck because we had bear paws all over the bed of our truck. Hence the name of the home! One bed frame in the room to the right needs to be replaced. It would squeak a lot when you moved. Also, we couldn’t get the tv to work in the other room. Other than that, we enjoyed our stay.

Mountain Laurel does a fantastic job as always, the chalet was very clean, friendly staff, and everything was just perfect! The chalet and the view is amazing and our stay was so awesome and we didn’t want to leave. We also love the new railing on the deck. Thank you again for another memorable, relaxing, and fun vacation! We will be back to visit Bear Paw again soon!!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: What more can be said that I haven't said before. Third time we have stayed here and it is so perfect for us. Housekeeping always does a bang up job as well as Mt Laurel Chalets. Hubby and I have back issues and I can't do stairs. It is perfect for that situation. I think the only thing I would recommend to the owners would be to put a hand held shower head in the big shower so if someone is a little challenged they could take a shower sitting down. I expect at some point to have to do that and would love to continue coming down and using only Bear Paw and that would be a huge plus. We love the recliners so please don't ever change that. Thank you for renting your home to us oldies. We appreciate your special attention and touches.

Reviewer Comments: We reserved Angels Retreat because of the location and the amenities. We ended up at Bear Paw, which was nice and had a decent view, because after unloading everything into Angles Retreat (which is down a bunch of steps covered in snow) we noticed little black things all over the kitchen and dining area! There were mice droppings in the sink, on counter tops, on the floor, on top of the refrigerator, even a nest in one of the drawers! I've got pictures because I thought no one would ever believe just how bad it was! We immediately called the office which had closed but the phone rang and rang with no answer. We did not want to stay but could not get a hold of anyone (you need to put the afterhours number in your books in the chalet!!) An hour later I tried the number again and got the after hours number and luckily, Clint answered the phone! IF we ever rent from this company again it will be because of Clint! Within 20 minutes we had loaded our stuff back up and moved down to Bear Paw. He even made us promise to call him if anything at all was wrong with the new house. Do you know not one person has reached out to us from the office? Even when I called the day we were leaving, the person was really nice and when I told her who we were she didn't say a word and said Great, I'll check you out. No apology not even a thank you for cleaning the stairs off at Angels Retreat! We didn't scream or yell about what happened and I have given them over 2 weeks to reach out to us with just a simple apology BUT NOPE NOT A WORD! Then they sent me a request for a review a second time! So here's your review: The after hours guy is worth gold but the property maintenance and office staff are useless. In 30 years of staying at chalets this is the first time we have ever encountered a rat infestation and it's also the first time we have used Mt. Laurel. For over $500 you would think they could at least check to make sure there are no mice and put salt down!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We arrived soon after a snowstorm, but Gatlinburg City crews had treated the roads and Mountain Laurel Chalets had treated the driveway. We enjoyed the gas grill, the sauna, the wood burning fireplace, etc. very much!Our chalet was ver comfortable, homey, and had everything we needed in the kitchen.We were very pleased and plan to return to Bear Paw some day.Tom and Akiko
