We stayed at Bear Haven last week....couldn't ask to rent from nicer people! The cabin is conveniently located to all of Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area with many places to eat, shop, drink, sightsee in close proximity. It's located about a mile and half up Ski Mountain Road which is one of the better mountain roads (in my opinion) to maneuver.
The cabin was ready and was clean when we got there. I wouldn't recommend this cabin for anyone with mobility issues because you do have to climb stairs to get to the main level. Two bedrooms, bath and den/pool table are on the ground floor with the master, kitchen, bath & LR on the second floor. The third floor has a loft bedroom (with a door that you can close) and a half bath.
The deck is large with a hot tub. Ample room for a large family. There are about 4 other cabins that you can see so you're not totally secluded. The view is OK...mostly wooded as many are in the area.
We had a 16 yo and an 8 yo with us who REALLY enjoyed the new MagiQuest in Pigeon Forge. It allows them to be like Harry Potter, magic wand and all and solve quests. Their second most favorite was touring the Roaring Forks Motor Trail and Cades Cove. We were lucky enough to see 6 Black Bear on the trails which was the highlight of our wildlife sightings! One of them was only 4 ft. away from our car. Dixie Stampede was fun as always and I think the group we were with (30 in total) all enjoyed it a great deal even those that had been there before.
Our family had a great time in the area and enjoyed staying at this cabin very much. We're already planning a family trip back to the area next May. Thank you for sharing your home with us!
