    Property was exactly as advertised. Perfect location, plenty of room to spread out we stayed with 3 kids and there was an air hockey table they loved playing with and the nerf guns were definitely their highlight as well as some of us adults. Had everything that we needed. Will definitely stay again next time we come to the smoky mountains.

    This cabin was absolutely perfect! We were in town for the Ripken Experience and the cabin was only a few minutes from the complex. It was also close to Dollywood and many other restaurants and attractions. The check-in was very easy as was communication with Tanya. The kitchen was fully stocked with every appliance and cooking utensil we could need. Our kids loved the games upstairs and the rooms and bathrooms were all very spacious. We don’t have a single complaint and would absolutely stay here again! We were actually sad to go home. Thanks for hosting us!

    My husband and I, along with our 5 children stayed in this amazing cabin for 5 nights and it was truly great! The kids loved the nerf guns, all the other family games, the spacious rooms, and the hot tub. There’s also a community pool. You’re just a few minutes away from Dollywood and downtown Pigeon Forge. A quiet neighborhood with everything you would want to do close by! Super clean and very nice in every way. We loved it so much, we will definitely be coming back as we love the Smokies! We’ve stayed other places over the years and we both agree this was certainly our favorite. 5 stars all day! Thank you!

    The pool, nerd guns, and pac man console were all well-used in our off time from Gatlinburg activities. Even in 95 degree heat, the AC worked great. Other than wanting more darts (the kids always need more for a good war) we had a great stay.

    Enjoyed our stay at Simple Bear Necessities. We all had fun with the different games available. The place is clean and the beds comfortable. I will say the lighting in the bathrooms could be brighter, over the sinks for make up and in the shower for shaving. Also would have liked some hand soap. Our over all experience was wonderful and would book the cabin again. Thank you

    Simple Bear Necessities is a very well-appointed cabin right off the Parkway but still feels very mountain like. It was clean and well stocked. Super convenient location very close to Dollywood. Tanya's communication is top notch and very informative. She is very detailed oriented which is very much appreciated. Pizza at the Cove at the bottom of the hill is a must try! Would definitely stay again here of at any of her other properties. Highly recommend Tanya's Cabins!

    We really enjoyed our time here at Simple Bear Necessities. The property is beautiful and very clean. It is located in Pigeon Forge not far from Dollywood. It is also not far from the Spur which leads you up to Gatlinburg. It has a fully stocked kitchen with every pot, pan, and utensils you could think of; even two blenders and a crockpot! Every detail is well thought out. They even stock the kitchen with k cups and coffee creamer. We stayed here for four days and the only thing I can think of where there is room for improvement is the trash situation. There was trash already in the outside bins so there wasn’t much room for us to throw our trash away. I’m sure that is no fault of the owners though. Communication is great. They even checked in with us to be sure everything was fine. All in all it was a great stay and we would book here again!

    We booked Simple Bear Necessities for our Family Christmas Vacation for the first time this year 2024. It was absolutely wonderful! Great Location, Super Clean, Super Nice and Friendly Staff. The owners and staff checked the Cabin before we moved in and then they followed up with us after 24 hours to see is we needed anything and how our stay was going. We have been coming to the Smokies for nearly 50 years and this was the first time the owners and staff had check in on us. Great gesture and very much appreciated! Highly Recommended!!
