Papa Bear Lodge | Log Cabin | Awesome theater room

We had 12 people and we’re not on top of each other.

We had a good time.

Cabin was very cozy & clean the hot tub was very nice and there was an amazing view of the mountains from every angle of the cabin would definitely book again!!

We had a wonderful stay at Papa Bear Lodge. The view and location are lovely. The three floors provided some family separation so we weren't always on top of each other. We also enjoyed the hot tub, arcade game, air hockey, and pool table. The fire pit was also awesome. The property could use some minor maintenance but no big deal.

great location close to everything lovely cabin

We had a pleasant time. For the most part we had a very positive experience. We had a couple minor complaints, but compared to the last cabin we stayed in a couple years ago, this one was great!

Excellent representation of tennessee. Many areas to explore locally.

This was our second stay at Papa Bear, and we loved it even more the second time around! It was extremely nice, clean, cozy, and spacious! More wonderful memories were made! Thank you!

The cabin upon arrival seemed small, but once inside there was plenty of room! Well decorated and aptly furnished, there was potential for it to be a perfect stay. The location of the cabin was a good distance from the hustle of the touristy parts of the nearby towns with convenient driving access to the Smokies, white water rafting and beautiful caves. I made a mistake in booking and was off a day, so we had to scramble out (left an hour after check out time) and get a hotel for our last day. I can say the cabin is defiantly the way to go over hotels. There were several reasons we could not give better ratings for the accuracy and cleanliness reviews: The kitchen was not well stocked. There was no pot to cook rice in (the only pot was a small sauce pot and the big pasta pot- if you try to cook rice in a pasta pot the proportions are off because the surface area messes with the team effect). There was no spatula for indoors, only grill utensils

We really enjoyed our stay. Property was clean. Although there were a few maintenance issues they didn’t affect our stay. We did have an issue with the tvs and internet not working properly, I contacted the property manager and he responded right away and sent someone out to fix it quickly. I was very impressed with his communication and fast time to get maintenance there to solve the issues.

Views are breathtaking and lots to do in the house between the floors (game room, decks, hot tub, etc.) Would recommend.

Upon arrival the cabin looks quite modest in size and initially a little concerned it was not going to work. Upon entering the cabin our fears quickly evaporated as the main bedroom suite was on the floor but we quickly found the stairs off the entrance hall. The second floor contained the well equipped game room, two nicely sized bedrooms and a second set of stairs. The 3rd floor contained sleeping room for up to 8 more people and the theatre room. The firepit, hottub. And multiple decks with a decent glimpse of mountains were also appreciated. The location of this cabin is enough off the center of activity that the area was quiet and peaceful while still giving us access to everything within a 10-30 minute drive. Our only regret it seems is that we spent too little time enjoying the cabin itself. Looking forward to rebooking again soon!
