“Much needed getaway!” My husband and I had a wonderful time on our trip and this cabin was just amazing. Had everything we needed and everything to stay in touch with everyone, yet we were alone and just relaxed. We ventured out into town, the national park and road trips and picnics, but never missed our naps! The cabin was very affordable and wonderfully decorated and had everything we needed. We will definitely return!

“Renter” The cabin is very accommodating simple and quiet, just what we wanted. Loved the swing, the closeness to Cades Cove and out of the hustle - bustle of traffic and such. Billie was always answered my questions before our trip. Not only would we recommend this cabin and Billie, but plan to do a return visit :)

“Relaxing, private, extremely well appointed, loved it!” Very private setting with excellent access to everything you could ask for. As close as you can get to the national park without being in it. Very comfortable, well appointed home with excellent indoor/outdoor space. Cable, phone, internet all excellent. No cell phone but house phone was available for making and receiving long distance calls. Very clean. Had to call Smokey Cabins Management twice (late night at time of check-in and on the morning of check-out) and someone answered the phone both times. Thank you to both hosts and management for a very enjoyable stay. As a side note, our favorite restaurants were Trailhead Steak and Trout in Townsend and Foothills Milling Co. in Maryville. The Maryville Wafflehouse was also outstanding if you like Wafflehouse:-)

“Mountain Get Away” Bear's Den is just the right size for a couple. Located on a private road this cabin was perfect...only minutes from Townsend and Cades Cove! While the outside of this cabin seems a little plain it totally hides the beauty of the inside. It's like you've stepped into a fully furnished house, the bed was comfortable and it was very quiet. Would love to stay here again.

“Riverfront Respite” What a wonderful jewel I found for my Spring Break Tennessee stay! My son was training in Knoxville for the week, so I found a piece of paradise only 45 min. away, to be on standby. My sister drove up from Atlanta and shared the time with me. The cabin was a mix of rustic and updated. One bedroom down, two upstairs, 3.5 bathrooms, washer/dryer...all the comforts of home. The privacy (one neighbor at end of road) and view of river were awesome. On our drives we noted other riverfront cabins that were not private at all! We had windows open at night to hear the river rolling by. The Canadian geese provided entertainment. We had smores by the outdoor fireplace, and cooked gourmet meals as well as trying local eateries. It had rained for several days before we met there, but we brought the sunshine with us. We had three full days to drive the wonderful scenic routes nearby...Cades Cove Loop, Foothills Pkwy, Little River rd, Newfound Gap rd, Wears Valley... so many! Makes me wonder how crowded but lovely the fall or late spring/summer are. We enjoyed the winter scenery as well. The rental company was responsive to all my queries. Can't wait to be back!

“Great time” My wife and I stayed here for our anniversary and enjoyed the cabin and the river . We will come back again . The value was very good for a cabin by the river . We loved this cabin !

“Excellent!!!” I will definitely use FlipKey again! The process was very easy and my rental was wonderful! I will recommend to all my friends!

“Peaceful” LOVED this little cabin! So peaceful and serene. Our two Maltese who are usually always keyed up on vacations were even laid back and quite here. Love the hammock by the stream. Stocked with everything you need and loved the little extras (especially since I left my shampoo and cond). The little packs of coffee were really good and a nice treat! We will definitely be back!

“great group retreat venue” I lead a women's retreat here and most of the 20 women, upon entering the lodge, asked, "Where did you find this place?" While not luxurious, this lodge is spacious, very comfortable, and designed for groups, with two large meeting areas in addition to the dining area. Extra tables and chairs allow for a variety of set-ups and activities. A big plus is that the manager lives on site. We had a plumbing issue, and a maintenance person came to the lodge within 15 minutes and corrected the problem in thirty.

“Perfect Forest Surrounded Relaxing Cabin” Absolutely love this cabin! The decor is just perfect but I'm a huge black bear fan Billie was great to talk with whenever needed. My favorite is the screened in porch has the swing those always take me back a "few" years! Just listening to the birds, crickets, stream, and other critters while relaxing was amazing! We did see a rabbit/bunny family in the little yard daily, we never did get to see the resident bear. For that we were very blessed this year to see them in Cades Cove twice and up by Chimney Tops we stopped in the road and seen a mama with her 3 cubs crossing the street. Elk are amazing and we've always been able to see them over on the Oconaluftee visitor center around 5:30. Thanks for allowing us to stay in your home and make it ours we plan on being back next year!

“Well stocked lodge for a family or group retreat” We used the lodge for an extended family trip and it was a great place to stay. With four family units, we were able to each have a room with enough beds for us all with some to spare. The kitchen was wonderfully stocked with almost all the dishes and cookware a group would need. The driveway/road to the lodge is very steep, so use caution during colder months, but you get a good view.
