Our Stay at Bear Den South

5 of 5
Submitted: August 29, 2012 Stayed: July 2012
Bear Den South was a lovely,clean home on beautiful Cherokee Lake. The area around the house was very nice and the neighbors were all extremely friendly. The boat ramp and dock worked out well for us also, since we always bring our pontoon boat when we visit Cherokee. The house easily fit our family of 12 and the downstairs was great for the kids when it rained and they couldn't go out. We especially loved the game table and spent lots of time in the evenings playing cards. One thing that couldn't be beat was all of the little amenities. The kitchen was very well stocked and provided many little things like mustard and ketchup, that we didn't have to buy and then throw out when we left. There was an ample supply of paper products and soap for the dishwasher and washer. I know that that doesn't sound very exciting, but not having to take up precious cargo space in the car with them was huge. They have made provisions for small children, which will be great for us since our family is expecting a new member soon. We love going out to the small mom and pop restaurants that are in the area, and if you need to do any heavy duty shopping or want to go to bigger restaurants, Morristown is not too far away. I would recommend this house to anyone who is interested in visiting Cherokee. The house is awesome and working with the owners was easy, since they were always available to answer questions.

Owner's Response: Nancy,

Congratulations on your new addition to your family. We are so glad you had a great time on the lake. We look forward to having your family stay with us again next time you are in the area.

Family Get Together

4 of 5
Submitted: August 26, 2012 Stayed: August 2012
It was a very enjoyable get together and both adults and children benefited from the lakeside location and amenities provided. The weather was absolutely perfect and it was extremely quiet and relaxing sitting on the decks with a view of Cherokee Lake and using the dock to provide a swimming platform. The house was very adequate for the 8 adults and 2 children with plenty of space for activities even though we spent most of our time outdoors. On the negative side, we were greeted with very stubborn gnats inside the house and the lack of installed screens did not permit us to enjoy the fresh air especially in the mornings. The other negative was the requirement to wash all used bed linens and towels as well as vacuuming the carpets and still vacate the premises by 10am. Nevertheless, the positives outweighted the negatives and overall, it was definitely an enjoyable experience for all.
Owner's Response: We are glad you had a great time on the lake. We are very sorry to hear you had trouble with gnats. There are two indoor bug zappers in the event of bugs that can be used also as a night light at night in the great room and recreation room. The windows are on the list of things to be remodeled, however, there should have been a removable screen for the main sliding glass door in the great room and the front door to give you that cross breeze you wanted. We will check to make sure these items are more visible for guest. Again thank you, we hope you will consider staying with us again sometime.

Sincerely,

Liz and Paul Johnson

Blamed for their faulty appliances

2 of 5
Submitted: August 26, 2012 Stayed: June 2012
We stayed at the Bear Den South with our youth group. We were excited upon arriving but very soon realized that the price was right...for a reason. Upon arriving, the house was 85 degrees. It remained this way for the entire first day and into the late evening. When I called, she sent a very nice man who brought fans (we were later punished because she had to return the fans.....what???). I guess we were supposed to know his address?! Then, the water breaker for the washer and dryer was apparantly turned off and there were no directions on how to turn the water back on. Therefore, we were unable to wash all linens. Our charge once again. The linens had to be washed by 10, when we left. Impossible when you are washing linens for 5 bedrooms! Not to mention the towels. The new refrigerator did not cool our food for the first day so we had to fill coolers with ice so our meat (which fed 11 youth) had to be protected. We were also blamed for the dishwasher malfunctioning with one of the dishes. No doubt it malfunctioned, it was over 20 years old...at the least. Please be cautious renting this unit. Our youth group was given back half of our deposit so it looks like our plans for a youth trip in the future will be slim. A little warning from the management would have been appreciated. Not a letter in the mail with a list 2 pages long telling us that we were the problem. Please update your home and consider your renters. I think we both agreed that your washing machine directions are VERY unclear.
Recommended for:  Age 55+
Owner's Response: Dear Donnie,
This was a great learning experience for us too. We have always been interested in youth groups using our home and your group was our first.
As we discussed on the phone the house had been kept at 80 degrees when no one was at the house, however, from your experience with so many people (16) entering the home at the end of a sunny day it takes a long time to cool that house down. Since that time we have been asking people to turn the thermostat to 75 degrees prior to leaving. As you mentioned our maintenance man came soon after you notified us of the problem. There are ceiling fans in three bedrooms and great room. Three additional portable fans in the utility room were also available. We were unaware you were trying to return his fans. We also mentioned how sorry we were that the new refrigerator was accidentally turned up when cleaning. And unfortunately it takes 6-12 hours to cool to temperature for an empty refrigerator. It being completely full wouldn't allow it to cool down in a timely manner.
We have not had any other complaints about the washing machine in the past two years and it was not brought up as a problem until 20 minutes prior to check out. The washing of linens is in the agreement signed prior to rental and is a policy adopted from other large rentals that we personally have used. This is the first time anyone has mentioned a problem with the dishwasher. We will be sure to ask our maintenance man to take a look a the dishwasher.
After my last conversation with the woman from your group, she had mentioned everything on the checklist had been completed. As mentioned in the letter to you and the check list many things were not completed, including towels left on the floor. The worst was the smoldering embers in the fire pit. It clearly states that use of the fire places and fire pit must be left cold prior to departure. In the hot dry weather it is very important that fire safety be strictly observed for the safety of the neighborhood. The additional cost for cleaning the home was the amount taken from the deposit.
We appreciate your feedback,
Sincerely,
Liz and Paul
