What an amazing cabin and experience - perfect location, cabin was extremely well maintained and had everything we needed for our trip. Richele was always quick to respond to anything and everything was exactly how it was described. Comfortable beds and nice view. Fire pit on upper deck was enjoyable on the cooler evenings. We would definitely stay here again!

Bear In Mind was truly a gem that I am so glad I found! The cabin is absolutely beautiful and was perfect for what my family needed. The cabin was so easy to get to, and the property owners were so sweet and very responsive to all of my questions no matter the time of day.

The whole experience from the time I booked the cabin a year ago til the last day leaving the cabin was excellent!! The host answered all of my questions all year long without hesitation. The cabin was phenomenal!! My husband and I are actually looking to build in the near future, and this layout is perfect and we want to now build this for our forever home!! Everything that one would need at home was there in the cabin. The kids LOVED the game room and hot tub. We had bears visit us 2 nights at the back porch. A mama and 2 babies. I could go on and on, BOOK this cabin!! You won’t regret it. Thank you!!
The beauty from the back porch!
After a long day, full of walking and doing the things.

My husband and I stayed for a weekend recently. The cabin was beautiful and quiet. It was stocked with everything we needed. Views were beautiful!! The host was very friendly and helpful with great communication. My husband accidentally left his backpack at the cabin and realized it when we were at the airport. They graciously mailed it to us. Highly recommend staying here!

Our overall experience at this property was excellent. The cabin is beautiful. It's located conveniently to downtown Gatlinburg, yet out of the way to feel like you're away from the crowds. The back decks feel like you're mingled within the trees and also provides a perfect view of the mountains. The beds are comfortable, the amenities provided all that we needed, the fire pit was so easy to use and made our mornings and evenings so enjoyable. We also saw bears! A mama and her two cuts climbed a tree toward the back of the neighbor's. So fun to watch. We really enjoyed our stay.

To be honest this was one of our best stays ever in an VRBO. Everything that was promised in the description was delivered on and more. The most important thing to me is communication and that was top notch even before our stay. Highly recommend!
