Great Getaway!

We stayed 3 nights at the Little Bear Cottage for spring break. The cottage was the perfect size for a family of 5. Our kids loved playing in the creek and going in the hot tub. The cabin is close to town, we were able to walk to Ole Red’s with 3 kids. The cabin was clean and the kitchen was well stocked.

Comfortable stay, private but close to activities

Communication with property manager was good, addressed questions quickly. Was close enough to all the things we wanted to do but had enough space to spread out with two teenagers. Hot tub was a big benefit after long days of walking.

Wonderful Gatlinburg House

Stayed here over Labor Day Weekend. Wonderfully furnished and very clean house. Great Gatlinburg location that’s close to everything but off the main drag. Great communication with the super friendly and helpful property manager. Will definitely stay here again and will recommend to friends!
