Bear's Den in Pigeon Forge #unforgettable 2 bedroom w/ Gameroom & Full Theater!

It was my husband and I 's 24th Anniversary. The heart shape tub was super romantic and the games were tons of fun. After a beautiful Anniversary dinner we came back and had a private movie date in the theatre. We loved the house. We loved our visit! Only complaint is the master bed wasnt very comfortable but we Would definitely visit again.

Before booking and after reading reviews, I took into account I have 5 kids of my own, so a little dust and messy is ok. This property was filthy. Dust, trash, and random things under beds became the joke of the long weekend. Luckily, we are a well, whatever kind of family. Getting to the cabin was fun (some say scary). We anticipated the steep accent, made it fine. Oncoming motorist were kind enough to share the tiny roads. Cabin was stocked nicely for pots, pans, essentials (my average rating). The bears visiting was a highlight! My biggest hangup was the pictures do not reflect what you get. The main living room couch is not a sectional. My hubby said, pretty sure my great aunt had this couch and loveseat. The theater room is not recliners as listed in the pictures. They are sticky, peeling stadium seats that have probably not been cleaned or cared for since my birth. We had issues with the wifi, special instructions from Angie, were incorrect. You know, i could type a diatribe on our stay. However, we made the most of it. Just want everyone to know, its really dirty. Some games do not work, and the only quiet space is the game room. If you were a previous guest and missing your house shoes, they are still under the bed.

We had a wonderful time at the cabin. There was plenty of stuff to do there without out leaving. Enjoyed seeing the bears! The jacuzzi and hot tub was awesome! Such an amazing place! We will definitely be returning!

The best part was seeing a bear in the driveway on our first morning there. We did have an issue but the property manager responded and handled the issue.

Cabin was beautiful, easy check in. Needs a good cleaning especially the floors. Outside large spiders hanging in the windows & around the swing and hot tub not good when your kid is terrified of spiders. So we didnt get to utilize those features. As a guest that pays for a clean house you expect a clean house.

The pictures and description of this cabin do not do it justice. This cabin I amazing and has so much to do.

Cabin was dirty, dusty, dishwasher smelled horrendous. Something ate the nipple off the baby bottles (they were on the kitchen counter).

My wife and I couldn’t decide on what score to leave, so we compromised – we’re leaving the 3-star she thinks it deserves but I’m the one leaving the review (with her proofreading approval). One positive - the staff were responsive. Maintenance guy was cool even late on Saturday night and office staff answered phone calls promptly. Now, that’s nearly everything I have to say that’s positive, everything else is negative: • Wifi password sent in email was out of date. • Upstairs bath sink was nearly completely clogged. • Upstairs bath toilet seat was loose (serious pet-peeve about sitting down & slewing to the side). • Washing machine was seriously slimed and nasty. • Overall the inside was just filthy – dirt and spider droppings, seriously dusty headboard, downstairs theatre floor filthy & small dirty stadium seats vs large comfy chairs shown in listing, filthy air vents. • Overall the outside was trashy, previous hot tub cover just tossed into the woods. • Kitchen was dirty – we had to clean it and most of the pots before use. • Hot tub on back deck never got used – the rest of the place was so filthy we didn’t trust the water/steam. • At least half the video games were broken or so very close to it that they weren’t really enjoyable. • A ceiling fan light couldn’t be shut off (had to unscrew light bulbs). • The front porch light wouldn’t go out, light in my eyes all night on the sofa. In all a huge disappointment, it needs serious cleaning & some maintenance.

The location and cabin were great, our only complaint would be the cleanliness of the cabin, underneath the master bed were pieces of what looked the be cubes of gum (not chewed) and a lot of dust and the exterior of the cabin had so many cobwebs/spider webs that have been there for quite some time, that really need to be addressed to make this a perfect cabin, As for the listing stating Mountain View’s, that is not true, this is a cabin in the woods.

Overall this was a nice cabin, but the cleaning crew could do better and some maintenance concerns needed. The trash cage needs bolted down and a better latch needs installed. Bears rolled the cage into the side of our Jeep giving it it's first dent and scratchs. There were plent of cobwebs and dust throughout but it is a cabin in the woods! But since there was a pricy cleaning fee, I'd expect it to be cleaner.

Good place, needs deep cleaning and most of the games didn’t work, hot tub is ancient. Definitely up in the mountains and you will see some bear. All in all a good place and trip.

I rented this place because it said it had a Mountain View, The pictures that they used to get people to rent this cabin don’t represent the view there. I have never left such a bad review in my life. I usually can see the best in everything. I would of never rented this cabin if I knew the view it had (none), the only reason someone would rent a cabin in the mountains is for the view, otherwise you would stay on ground level in the woods. I feel the photos they used was so deceiving on their part and I’m not sure I will use Vrbo again!!! This was just so wrong on their part. It’s like a bait and switch or fraud !!

Great location to see bears because it is a ways up the mountain. The cabin was fun for our kids with all the games. Property owner was great with communication. Overall we really enjoyed it.

Amazing cabin that will definitely keep you entertained will all the activities. Pretty close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Loved seeing the momma bear and her cubs come to the cabin in the morning. Would 100% recommend to other family and friends!

We loved the cabin. We loved driving all the way up the mountain. We loved how close it was to the Smoky National Park. The cabin was amazing. Plenty to do for all ages. The adults loved the pool table and the kids loved the arcade games and the theater!!!! We would definitely stay again!

Needed more attention on the floors being moped due to dirty or black feet, couldn’t go barefooted. Also there’s a lot of cobwebs on all levels of the front and back porch. Other than that we had a great time and kids did as well with the proved games.

We had a good time, but there are definitely pros and cons to staying at this place. We would not stay again due to the various issues. Pros- great view, management responded quickly when we sent them texts Cons- place was filthy (needs at least 2 days to be deep-cleaned, pictures in listing do not match the actual cabin (different couch, kitchen table, theater chairs, etc), one of the games was broken and could not be fixed, projector was broken and could not use theater room at all

We had a great stay. The beds were comfortable and was plenty of room. The only thing that would have made it better would have been having paddles for air hockey with the padding on the bottom. Also having chalk for the pool table. The property manager was great if we had a problem such as with the internet like we did they were willing to help right away. I think the most exciting part though was having bears come right up to the cabin! Not too horrible of a drive to pigeon forge or Gatlinburg. The roadways are really steep though. We were happy that the parking for the cabin was a flat surface. Overall we had a great time.
