What a wonderful mountain getaway! We came up for 4 nights Christmas week for family celebrations and the polar express. Right away at booking, Nivea was attentive in noting we were bringing children and asked if we needed any baby items. It was a great help to see a pack and play all set up, a portable high chair and even a baby bath all ready to use! Upon entry we were whisked away to a mountain lodge Christmas with the beautifully decorated tree and mantel greeting us as we stepped through the door. The home is gorgeous and our kids loved the game room set up in the garage. The home was plenty big for our large family. We enjoyed exploring the town and tranquil sunsets and sunrises with the majestic mountains surrounding us. Every one of us loved our stay and hopes to return soon!

Great spring trip to the Smokies

This property was just what we needed as two families on a spring break trip for children. This location was about 30 minutes from the NC entrance to the Smoky Mountains. The game room was great for rainy day entertainment. There were just the right amount of space for our party of 10 people total (4 adults and 6 kids). Nivea was great at communication and very helpful. Thanks for a great trip!

Great Secluded Place with game room.

House as advertised! Owner was awesome and helpful. House is modern and clean. Just 4 friends that went and we hung out in the game room every night. Only negatives are the curvy narrow roads and no tvs in the bedrooms.

Comfortable home, convenient to town with beautiful views

My husband and I were looking for a home that was close to the Polar Express. We’re so glad we chose The Bear Necessities. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room and we all enjoyed the game room. The yard gave us some privacy and we were close to town. Would definitely stay again :)

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Necessities! It was clean & comfortable. My 4 young kids loves the bunk and game room. The property is also fun for exploring during a day of rest at the house. It is also close to many day trips to local attractions in the Smoky Mountain area.

Autumn Getaway With Lifelong Friends

This house was one of the best ones we have ever rented on VRBO, and we have rented many over the years. We lacked for nothing. Great location, lots to see and do in the area. Nivea was easy to work with and promptly answered questions. You can't go wrong by renting this property!

OutStanding!!!

Hands down one of the best places we have stayed at since using Vrbo. The cabin was perfect and had everything you could need to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. We came to hike the Smokey’s along the AT and this cabin was perfectly situated. Even though the view wasn’t major(but still very nice!!), it was so well organized and supplied with modern appliances and excellent wifi, the stay was just outstanding!!! You’re not far from downtown Bryson and just 10 minutes from Ingles, so Re-supply is super easy and convenient. Just can’t say enough about this great cabin! Spotless, modern inferior yet still classic! Truly a hidden Gem!!!
