  We just loved the cabin. Loved the decor, the bed was comfy and cabin very clean! Plan on coming back!! No kidding about the steep drive but we are use to the mountains, did fine in the truck. Thank you!
• Jeff Lutz - 8/28/2023
  Great location, nice secluded cabin.
• Kelle Johnson - 5/27/2023
  Only thing keeping this from a 5 is the driveway, development roads. Steep, blind, drop of edges.

  Management Response: Yes this cabin is up a steep road. Please consider that before renting.
• Darrell Waldrup - 4/30/2023
  We had a great time and enjoyed the beautiful cabin. Thanks for responsive communication and clear instructions. We would love to stay again in the future and intend to. I enjoy the area and stay 2-3 times a year lately. Sometimes I come to fish and sometimes just to view the mountain roads and scenery to relax and unwind without a crowd and noise. I really love the peacefulness your cabin provides.
• Sonya Humber - 3/24/2023
  Beautiful cabin perched on the side of a mountain. All essential needs were met, plus many nonessentials. Cleanest place we’ve stayed! Wish we had seen a bear, though.
• Claudio Sarniguet - 10/30/2022
  Great place to stay very cozy and has everything you need
• Peggy Munsinger - 10/25/2022
  Bear View cabin was AWESOME! Everything we needed was there at the cabin. I have rented from Smoky Cabins several times and, as always, the cabin was clean and comfortable. Will definitely book through Smoky Cabins again in the future.
• Anthony Holloway - 9/12/2022
  We absolutely love this cabin, it’s secluded, and just perfect for the two of us!!! The New Bed is amazing ! We hope to go again soon!!! We love booking directly with smoky mountain cabin rental!!!
• Melissa Rushing - 8/22/2022
  Stayed 8/14/22- 8/18/22.. Had a great time. The cabin was perfect for my husband and I.. Just far enough away from all the crowds.. We came home and made reservations to go back in October for 7 night, couldn't get the same cabin but we are in the same place... So excited, can't wait to go back...
• Jeffrey Fenton - 8/7/2022
  The cabin was amazing! The owner has everything you need for a great stay. We only ate meals out twice, everything else we were able to eat at the cabin. If staying in warm weather, you may want to bring a light blanket. The comforter on the bead is beautiful and keeps you very warm :).
• Stevee Candrl - 3/17/2022
  Bear View was a great little cabin for the two of us and Cathy made our entire stay a breeze! Hope to be back soon!

  We usually stay in the hideaway cabin but so grateful you had a plan in place to put us in bear view since storm had knocked power out at hide away . We loved the bear view so much its gonna become our new favorite cabin . Thank you for doing such a great job .
• Lee Simmons - 12/7/2021
  Everything was perfect, just like every other time we have stayed with you. The cabin was clean, comfortable, and close enough to all the attractions yet far enough away to be quiet.
• Tressie Guillot - 10/27/2021
  Bear View was a nice little cabin. It was very quiet and relaxing. We are looking forward to returning again next year.
• Anne & Aaron Tavalire - 10/22/2021
  We had a fantastic stay, but we couldn't get the fire place to work. Other than that the cabin was perfect for our mini vacation.

  Management Response: We've checked on the fireplace and it is working well now.
• Paul Arell - 10/22/2021
  Nice place.
• Crystal Hand - 10/21/2021
  Although I have never seen the park and surrounding areas more crowded, when I went back to my cabin, it was totally peaceful and quiet. I loved my visit.
• Andrew Armstrong - 10/3/2021
  Great cabin!. Very comfortable, well stocked, and clean. It was a perfect base for visiting Great Smoky Mountain NP, as well as Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed the large private rear deck and hot tub.
• Ronald Golden - 7/28/2021
  The cabin was perfect! It was extremely clean and perfectly decorated! We truly loved our stay and will be back as soon as we have more vacation time available!
• Tammy Gordon - 7/24/2021
  Very peaceful beautiful place highly recommend.
• Bill Coleman - 7/6/2021
  Cabin is located in a very good private location near the park. Cabin is cozy and clean. We will be booking again. This was our second visit.
• Joe & Dani - 6/15/2021
  Everything was perfect! Enjoyed the hot tub and porch swing overlooking the mountains and woods put of sight from other cabins with full foliage. Kitchen utensils were well stocked. Nice bathroom, bed, and decor. Comfy seating in the living area. The resort was very peaceful. The cabin was exceptionally clean. We can't wait to come back!
• Amanda Guyett - 6/14/2021
  Such a beautiful cabin and seclusion we loved for our anniversary vacation! Thank you for allowing us to this experience of relaxation and accommodations just like home feel. We’ll definitely be back again soon!! 5 stars all around!!
• Brandie Williams - 6/7/2021
  Great little cabin for two! We went for our 10 year anniversary, and it was perfect! The drive to the cabin is not for the faint of heart especially for those of us who don’t live in the mountains, but the cabin itself was awesome. Very quiet and private. We would definitely stay again or recommend for a couple’s vacation!
• Kimberly - 5/2/2021
  Love this cozy little place. We’ll be back!
• Jennifer - 4/21/2021
  Lovely cabin in a great location. I really enjoyed the peaceful views from the porch and the cozy atmosphere. I came for some quiet-time to refresh and I am leaving with that goal achieved. Thank you!
• Ilona L - 4/5/2021
  Cabin was cozy & quiet. Well stocked and very cleanly. A couple things like the decorative lights and the dishwasher did not work but it wasn’t a dealbreaker. We notified the owner so hopefully they fix it. The roads leading up to the cabin were a little scary imo(I’m scared of heights). My boyfriend thought it was fun though haha. Once you do it a couple times, he got the hang of it. He was even able to back into the spot so we didn’t have to reverse down the steep hill. Short drive to town was nice in case we needed anything. Sitting in that hot tub with those views were a great way to end the day. 😍 perfect little cabin for a couple’s getaway!

  Management Response: The dishwasher has to be turned on before you close the door. Just hit start and close it and it comes on just fine. We went and checked it as soon as we received the email about it and it ran the cycle with no problem. The outside lights must be plugged in to the wall. The are actually just a couple weeks old. We do appreciate your feedback and are glad that you enjoyed the cabin.
• Elijah Sweet - 2/15/2021
  It was an amazing little cabin and we had a great time. I would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who wants a weekend away.
• Kristyn Jones - 1/25/2021
  We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this beautiful cozy cabin! All of the amenities were what we expected and we enjoyed the view! We loved being outside of pigeon forge but close enough to drive into town to enjoy it.
• Bill Coleman - 1/3/2021
  Very cozy well furnished cabin in a very nice area close to the Smokey Mountains
• Emma Hanebutt - 12/21/2020
  We had a great stay. We enjoyed the cabin’s location with the great view and being away from the cities. Everything was very clean and we had what we needed for our extended weekend stay.
• Lois Lestock - 12/9/2020
  Great cabin set up. Hot tub was great. Very cozy. Enjoyed visiting the area. Loved the location in the mountains and the great view.
• Haston’s - 12/6/2020
  An all around great little cabin, we loved this place!
• Lois Lestock - 11/30/2020
  Great cabin set up. Hot tub was great. Very cozy.
• John Wunsch - 11/18/2020
  Wonderful cabin for our Honeymoon. So comfortable staying there. Love the fireplace during the cool season. View was nice and relaxing. The hot tub is wonderful but not so private when a road can be seen and cabin below. The drive up is very steep but got used to it as the days goes by.
• Khristy Johnson - 11/6/2020
  The cabin was super cute and cozy!! Perfect for our honey moon. It rained and the drive up was pretty slippery lol.
• Kevin Brown - 10/18/2020
  Great cabin. Comfortable furniture. Awesome porch and hot tub. Very scenic and the area was exactly what we were looking for in a cabin vacation.
• Sandy VanDeWege - 10/4/2020
  Very cute, cozy cabin. It is well maintained and has all the amenities you would need. We had a great time celebrating our 39th anniversary there. Would definitely return!!
• Gaye Leonard - 9/28/2020
  The cabin was beautifully maintained. We were able to get in touch with management whenever necessary and thoroughly enjoyed our stay.
• Veronica - 9/6/2020
  Loved this cabin and it’s location! Everything a couple needs.

• Kathy Brown - 8/18/2020
  Love the cabin
• Lorelei Henson - 8/9/2020
  Such a wonderfully quiet, peaceful, relaxing way to recharge!
• Laura Davis - 7/7/2020
  We had a wonderful time. We always book through Smoky Cabins because we know the cabins are the best! We love Timberwinds. This is the first time we've stayed in the summer and we were able to enjoy the pool and pavilion.
• Damon Lasley - 6/29/2020
  We stayed in the same cabin 5 years ago for our 5th Anniversary and loved it so much we returned for our 10th. The cabin is clean and kept, though it may be time for a few paint touch ups in the bathroom. The quarters are nice and well kept and comfortable for a romantic getaway. The porch offers plenty of privacy for the hot tub and a great porch swing view of the scenery.
• Barbara Houston - 6/27/2020
  The house was wonderful. Loved the furnishings and had everything we needed. Hot tub was wonderful, bed was perfect, and loved the recliner couch.
• Shawn Handlon - 6/19/2020
  Wonderful little cabin was just what we needed.
• naomi holt - 6/14/2020
  Loved everything about this charming cabin. Beautiful decor and far better stocked with quality cookware/dinnerware than other cabins we have stayed in. Loved the woodsy and isolated feel even though we were in a resort and drove by lots of other cabins. Even had a bear come visit on our first night. Would definitely recommend this cabin and Smoky Cabin rentals to all.
• Krystal Forrester - 6/8/2020
  It was a nice getaway from all the hustle and bustle of our kids and work. It was a nice cozy cabin for our delayed honeymoon/ 3 year anniversary.
• Brittney Harper - 5/3/2020
  We had such a nice relaxing quite weekend! After 8 weeks of cooped up in quarantine, it was nice to take a drive & hang out at the Burger Master for some delicious food! We will definitely be back!
• Bridget McClarin - 2/22/2020

  Cabin was very quaint. Wish we had a longer visit. Would highly recommend.
• joel harlow - 10/18/2019
  Great!
• Terry Brown - 10/9/2019
  Nice little cabin that is positioned far enough away from other cabins that you really don’t realize they are there, at least with foliage on the trees. May be a bit more obvious in the winter months. The kitchen is very well stocked with everything you need to cook and there is a decent grocery store (IGA) nearby. The grill and hot tub work fine as does everything else in the cabin. The bathroom is clean and maintained and the bed is comfortable. High speed internet and cable TV are nice. The location is a perfect mix of seclusion and convenience. 10 min to the park, 25 min to Cades Cove, 30 min to Gatlinburg then 20 min to Maryville in the other direction. There are a few decent places to eat in Townsend but be advised at after 8 pm the options are slim and Maryville is the closest place with a decent selection. The hill to the cabin can be intimidating if you don’t have experience but it should be doable unless you are driving a Ferrari (or any low car). (We watched a big Propane delivery truck make it up and down.) There is a security camera on the front of the cabin and several other cameras in the complex so we didn’t feel uncomfortable leaving a couple very expensive bikes out on the porch for 5 days. The decor was ok but a bit cluttered for our taste. Would have been nice to have the space on the microwave stand for our food supply rather than a bunch of decorations. Only place for dry food is on the small counter. A couple very minor maintenance items but nothing to complain about. Overall we would probably stay in this cabin again.
• Thalene Bates - 9/26/2019
  This was a beautiful cabin and we so enjoyed it! Everything was clean and ready for us when we arrived. Will definitely be returning!
• C. Hudson - 7/25/2019
  The cabin was fantastic. We enjoyed the very nice porch that looks out through the trees. The bed was very comfortable, and the fireplace was a great way to shake off the early morning chill. Our complements to you for stocking the kitchen with sufficient plates, glasses, and cookware to really be able to cook meals in the cabin. We had a great stay and look forward to coming back.
• Susan Peebles - 7/7/2019
  Cabin was clean and comfortable. Pool and shelter were very nice. We enjoyed our stay very much and would recommend Smoky Cabins highly!
• Duane Siebler - 5/27/2019
  Nice place. Very quiet and peaceful. Enjoyed my stay very much.
• Chrissie Tyler - 4/19/2019
  Excellent! Beautiful cabin. Everything that we could have needed was there.
• Winston Harbison Jr. - 4/6/2019
  Nice and cozy. Very comfortable and close to local attractions.
• Joseph Plagge - 3/24/2019
  Beautiful place to stay! My husband and I spent a long weekend in this cabin and truly enjoyed our stay. As a few others have mentioned, we did struggle to get up the hill in our small suv (good tires, but not 4 wheel drive). If you stick to the left it seems to help avoid the spot in the road that has eroded some. This would NOT deter us from coming back. This place is fully equiped and well kept. We will be coming back!
• Jennifer Havens - 3/21/2019
  We loved the cabin! It was perfect. It was rather chilly and the fireplace was our favorite part. It was nice to sit back and relax because we really needed it! We will stay again!
• Shelby Valentine - 3/12/2019
  Everything was wonderful!
• Pamela Lane - 2/25/2019
  We enjoyed this perfect little place so much! So cozy, romantic and private! We will definitely be back again! Thank you for the wonderful memories!
• Nena Mink - 2/10/2019
  It was very comfortable. We enjoyed our stay.
• Kaitlyn Bannon - 1/2/2019
  Bear View was a perfect cabin for two people. We couldn’t believe how simple the check-in and check-out process was. We enjoyed our stay and we will be back again soon!!
• Joseph Gill - 12/29/2018
  We had a wonderful time in this incredibly cozy cabin! It was the perfect size for just the two of us. We loved the gas fireplace and the hot tub. Everything was decorated for Christmas which added to the ambiance. We are already planning our trip for next year!
• Bonnie Sinclair - 11/20/2018
  Great couple’s cabin!
• Jeff Mathews - 11/13/2018
  Cabin was clean, well furnished, and well maintained. Very much enjoyed our stay and will return.
• Stephen Meece - 10/29/2018
  Overall, the cabin was a nice place to stay. My only issue was the bed - time to be replaced, huge "ruts" on both sides.

  Management Response: The mattress is being replaced next week. Thank you and I’m glad that you enjoyed your stay.
• Jeff Harper - 10/14/2018
  Nice little cabin away from the hustle and bustle.
• Todd N - 10/11/2018
  The cabin was great! Comfortable with a gas fireplace Xfinity cable full kitchen nice comfortable bed! The last turn to the cabin is a little tough if you don't have any experience driving in the mountains. Just take it wide and you will get up no problem. It's only 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. And only a few minutes from an entrance to the Great Smoky Mountains National Forest. We stayed here for our honeymoon my only complaint is that it wasn't longer! If you like Cajun food go to New Orleans Sandwich Company in Gatlinburg you will not be disappointed!
• Valerie Bennett - 9/30/2018
  We loved the cabin! It was very clean. It was our 26th Wedding Anniversary. We really enjoyed our stay and wish that we could have stayed longer
• Darlene Barton - 9/8/2018
  We were pleasantly surprised at how nice the cabin was! We had a few questions after reserving the cabin & always received a quick response. Would definitely use Smokey Cabins again if back in the area again.

• Steven Smith - 5/27/2018
  It's a nice little cabin and was clean and comfortable for the most part. Kitchen was well stocked, fire place is nice, TV and internet was good, the grill works great, the bed is very comfortable. Nice place for 2 people.
• Andrew Korkos - 5/21/2018
  We got engaged in this cabin! The cabin was set up very nicely and the WiFi was amazing. It was a wonderful experience, everyone was nice! Townsend is an absolute gorgeous place to be in. I believe it gave me the full GSM experience more than Gatlinburg! The caverns behind the mountain are a must see! We will use Smoky Cabins again! THANK YOU!!
• Miranda White - 5/20/2018
  The Cabin was Absolutely Perfect! It was Beautifully decorated, and Super Clean! We will definitely be back soon! Thanks so much!

  5 stars....we have stayed at Bear View 3 times and have always enjoyed it. I have used other rental companies for our stays in Townsend in the past and have found Smoky Cabins to provide the best customer service.
• Kayla Westrich - 12/29/2017
  Great peaceful location felt nice and cozy. Townsend was the perfect town to get the Appalachian culture and peaceful side of the smokies. Cabin was just what we needed!
