Weekend Trip To Gatlinburg

The property was very convenient to Gatlinburg and only a short drive to Pigeon Forge. It was very clean with comfortable beds. Can’t ask for much more out of a stay. We were very impressed and would stay again!

Wonderful Spring Break Getaway

We had a great stay at Bear Moon Cabin! The cabin was immaculately clean, cozy and perfect for our family of four. We enjoyed the mountain views and it was the perfect home base for exploring Great Smoky Mountain National Park as well as downtown Gatlinburg. Check in/check out was a breeze and excellent communication from the host!

Romatic getaway

Cabin was beautiful! Hot tub was great! Cabin was well decorated. They have a coal grill outside. Would loved to have had a propane grill on the deck. Mountains are steep we are from Florida so we had to adjust to the steep hills. I was so excited the cabin was still decorated for Christmas it was beautiful. We bought coffee k cups as they only had flavored ones. Bring lotion our skin got dry from the cold Great ice maker never ran out of ice. Game room was a lot of fun! We recommend staying here..Uber eats delivers here so that was a bonus.

Cozy, clean, accommodating

This house is perfect for a group of 4 adults, or a family with kids. They had 3 cute decks with seating and the hot tub was perfect for the cool evening. We didnt spend as much time as we normally would in a cabin, because of the short stay, however had we been there longer it'd been perfect for just relaxing or letting kids enjoy the downstairs games.

GREAT STAY

We had a great stay. The cabin was well appointed and very cozy. It had a great cabin feel with all the comforts and technology you would need. The location was great as we were there to hike in the National Park. We saw bears at the cabin every day we were there. We would stay here again for sure!

Mountain Getaway

We drive from Dallas, Texas to meet our adult son who lives in Pennsylvania. Our 16 hour drive was rewarded with a vista view of the Smokey Mountains and a warmly lit beautiful cabin. Cabin seems a diminutive title for this beautifully appointed home. There was plenty of entertainment for those who want to stay in. So many things to do nearby for those with children. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a pet free stay.

Private and Relaxing

This was a great little cabin that allowed for a great space to come and relax in after a day of exploring the Great Smoky Mountains, or Gatlinburg attractions. We had a mama bear and her cub visit us within an hour of our arrival, and we're thankful we followed the directions on locking our car, mama bear went straight to the door handle and tried to get in!

Vacation

We used this cabin as a place to stay. Our itinerary kept us away from the cabin most of the time. We choose this cabin to experience the wood and size of the cabin as we are planning on building a log cabin using this floor space and wood design with its dove tail corners. We loved the ambiance. The owner communication was 10 stars. They we were very courteous and prompt with all communications. The down time was used playing the arcade in the game room, got to get me one of those (old college pub time playing original Pac-Man.) You will love this cabin and its owner.
