Honeymooners

We would like to thank the owners for a wonderful place to stay on our honeymoon. The Baby Bear Bungalow was clean and had all the dishes and starter supplies we needed. You will still need to bring personal items but thats expected. The bed was comfortable and all the new furniture was very nice. I had no problem getting to the cabin with the directions provided, but i did miss a turn the first day going back to town, and it ended up a shorter route to Pidgeon Forge. We still liked the mountain roads as well. Remember this is a cabin and not the Hilton, i have slept in a lot of worse places. Our overall experience was terrific here and would love to come back again. The only problem we had was the neighbors barking dog "everyday" but thats easily overlooked i have dogs too. Thank you again Donna.

A Perfect Vacation Prior to Deployment

John (LA California)
Review submitted: May 20, 2013   Date of arrival: October 21, 2012

We had a short but nice vacation right prior to my deployment(thus my being so long in leaving feedback sorry). We arrived to find a cabin beyond our goals, the cabin itself was very clean, the furniture/décor/appliances etc are all updated! It was so nice to have the game area with pool table, air hockey and other games! The views from this cabin are equal to the view of million dollar cabins!

This cabin is beautiful. It was spotless! Loved the hot tub on the deck w/the spectacular view of the mtns. & a beautiful sunrise! Had lots of dishes, pots and pans, etc. but couldn't find the spatulas, wine opener/bottle opener - not essentials but would have been nice. We had to purchase them since we thought the cabin would have them. The bed was extremely comfortable. The washer/dryer was nice! Also, the directions given brought us around scary hairpin curves when we first arrived. Going out to Gatlinbg. the Garmin took us (almost directly) to a nice highway w/o nearly as many scary curves. Owners might consider taking people in/out that way. Overall, a wonderful place to stay on our Smokey Mtn. vacation! Only suggest a few more kitchen tools & bettter highway directions.

Worst mountain trip!

Tyrone B. ()
Review submitted: April 15, 2013   Date of arrival: April 12, 2013

My husband and I spent this past weekend in this cabin and it was trouble from the driveway.
When my husband turned in we heard a big scratching sound. When he tried to back up we couldn't, you
guessed it, we were stuck! My husband tried to push the car while I tried to back up but
it didn't work. Thank God a neighbor who works for the city of Sevierville stopped and asked us
if we needed help. He and my husband push the car while I backed the car up. When I made
the owner aware if this I was told, that has never happen before and they can't figure out
how it happened. REALLY? Who cares if it has never happened before, it happened this time.
Ok if that wasn't enough we get to the door and the code that the OWNER emailed us was not working.
My husband contacted the number that were giving and we were told the code was changed.
HUH? Why would you change the code and not contact the people who are renting the cabin.
When I emailed the owner about this she did not respond....very responsibe! Ok as if that's not
enough, we get in the house and my husband sits down to take a break because he just
had to push a car and guess what, there was no tv to watch! The tv was missing the dish
remote. We contacted the OWNER and the number we had and we were told that
someone was bringing another remote. The guy came but guess what, the cable was
not hooked up to the t.v.! The "repair man" said he couldn't do anything because the cable
was not long enough to reach the t.v. Ok it gets better he said he would be back the next day
but never returned, go figure! When I made the OWNER aware of this I was told there was
nothing they could do because Dish network couldn't bring a remote until Monday but guess
what, the repair man brought another remote! When I told the OWNER that, I got no response,
I wonder why? Maybe because she just got caught in a lie! I hate being lied to and
I hate not getting what I paid for! Then to add insult to injury we were offered 25% off
our next cabin rental. Ha! Like we will ever rent from her again! The main thing the owner
kept saying is that all of these other people have been satisfied but what does that have to do with us? Someone in any type if customer service understands that regardless of hiw many happy customer's you have had, there will be people who are not satisfied! I put this situation in the hands of someone who has way more power then I have. Renters consider yourself warned!

Exactly what we were looking for!

Dave (Lebanon, TN)
Review submitted: December 13, 2012   Date of arrival: December 7, 2012

My wife and I stayed here on a weekend getaway for her birthday and it was exactly what we wanted. Very clean and well maintained with nice furniture. The cabin is just enough outside of town to feel very secluded but it is short drive to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The view from the back balcony is amazing and you will love the hot tub overlooking the view. I would definitely stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a couples getaway. Great cabin for the price!

Secluded stay in the mountains!

Jennifer (Greenwood, South Carolina)
Review submitted: December 9, 2012   Date of arrival: November 30, 2012

My husband and I really enjoyed our stay at baby bear's bungalow for his 40th birthday. The cabin was perfect for the two of us and we really did not leave all weekend. The drive up wasn't as bad as some that we have stayed at but if you were trying to find it at night, you would have difficulty. I would not recommend for those that are looking to spend time in town either or who haven't come prepared for the seclusion. All that aside, we arrived to a clean, comfortable cabin. The view was awesome from the hottub out back and if it hadn't been near winter, I am almost positive the cabin would have been virtually unnoticeable to those around us. We had brought all the food and other necessaties so we had everything we needed. The only minor issue was that the gas logs don't put out a lot of heat, so I don't know if they are only there to look pretty(which they did) but the central air/heat worked fine. It's the perfect place to get away and enjoy your company, without all the hustle and bustle of daily life. We will stay there again! Thanks!

Bad Honeymoon Experience

aowens (Cullman, AL)
Review submitted: November 29, 2012   Date of arrival: November 17, 2012

We arrived at your cabin Saturday and the towels and sheets were not clean. We washed all the linens that night, but were are very displeased with the cleanliness of the cabin. It is very dusty and the floors and rugs don't look as though they have been cleaned in quite some time. There are also a number of cobwebs throughout the cabin. We were also not informed that the driveway was treacherous. It has portions of it that have been washed away and it is so narrow that even a small SUV is hard to turn around. There is a hottub, but the lighting on the back porch is so dim that you could not see to get in it. Needless to say this cabin did not turn out to be as advertised. This was our honeymoon trip and we ended up not even staying the whole week because we were not comfortable in the cabin or pleased with it.

Little Bear Cabin

Bob and Alice (Rock Hill)
Review submitted: November 17, 2012   Date of arrival: November 5, 2012

We enjoyed spending out 50th Wedding Anniversary at "Little Bear Cabin". The one bedroom cabin was just the right size for the two of us. It was very secluded and quiet,just right for a couple to spend time together. We spent most of our time watching TV and playing pool which was fun, and since neither of us had ever played much pool we were a good match. The roads were very narrow and winding, so we made sure when we went out that we were back by dark. Don't think we could have found our way in the dark!! I guess the best description of our trip would be "wonderfully refreshing". We thank our children for presenting us with such a special anniversary gift.

We really enjoyed our stay in your cabin. We wanted secluded and this was it! The cabin was very spacious, with everything we needed. Nice dishes and all appliances. The dryer is still really noisy though. Nice hot tub on the deck which we enjoyed and the view was great. It was pretty clean, but I was surprised at the dust and cobwebs behind the bed and the windows were really dirty. We enjoyed the nice TV and watched movies in the evening with the satellite networks. There is a problem with the neighborhood dogs barking at all hours (someone else mentioned this also), but there isn't much that can be done about that. All in all, we did have a very good time.

If you are looking for a secluded cabin this is a good one to have. For the money and 1 bedroom there is alot of room. Had trouble getting into the cabin as the key box was messed up. The charcoal grill was VERY old and in bad shape (the grate didnt even fit that grill). The hornets nest on the back deck kept us from enjoying the jacuzzi like we should have been able to. Also, the attack of the hornets caused us to spend our last night chasing hornets through the house to kill them. Be careful when you turn the dryer on.. it will scare you to death it is SO loud.. But overall we had a good time...

Tori (Pittsburg)
Review submitted: June 2, 2012   Date of arrival: May 30, 2012

Great location very private with a beautiful view. The location is great to see the Smokey Mountains and other local attractions. The owners keep this cabin very clean with comfortable couches and a great game area to enjoy a game of pool, fuse ball or air hockey. My husband also enjoyed being able to watch movies as there were a lot of channels available for viewing. I would suggest going to the grocery store ahead of time due to the secluded location. Make sure you bring everything you may need for cooking in the way of food, condiments, salt and pepper, briquettes to barbq etc. as this cabin doesn't supply any food items. We found this different from other rentals and although we had stopped for food ahead of time (which is a good idea) we were expecting to have salt and pepper and basic condiments as we have experienced in the past. Once we had arrived after a long day of traveling we did not want to go out again. Better to eat out than have to buy everything for a one or two night stay. Also the BarBq is not on the patio but in a covered area on the driveway. Overall this was a great place to rent but I was disappointed by the lack of detail like board games, books or info on area attractions or eateries, etc to make this rental more of a home away from home rather than someone elses place you are occupying for a few days.
