Loved our stay!

We loved everything about this cabin. It was in the perfect location and was close to everything we wanted to do. We loved the cabin itself, from the inside to the outside, and our girls loved it as well. Our favorite part was seeing a bear our very first night right below the cabin! We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future.

Spring Break

Perfect cabin for our little family of four. The kids loved the pool table and having their own king sized bed. Our only disappointment was that we didn’t see any bears.

Wonderful!

The home was beautiful. We really appreciated the high quality items the home contained-nice bedding, toiletries, dishes and the labeled organization. The home was in the perfect location! Close to town but still felt secluded. It completely felt like a “home away from home” and was one of the best parts of our trip!

Relaxing family getaway!

We loved our stay at Bear in Mind! We had plenty of space indoors and out - one of our favorite things to do was simply grill and eat dinner at the picnic table on the upper deck. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful - perfect for relaxing! We had 6 people (4 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 6) The kids shared the pull out sofa in the game room which they thought was really fun. Richele is a great host, very good communication all the way through. The cabin was stocked with all of the essentials which was helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Thanksgiving Week

Fantastic property and owners. Everything was exactly as described. Cabin has everything you could need for a great stay. Close to many places but also tucked away for privacy and peace. More than enough room for 4 people and could easily fit 5-6. Was lucky enough to see bears on 3 different occasions right off the back deck. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone!

About the host

Hosted by Richele

Host profile image
We have dreamed about owning a mountain home. So yes, this is a dream come true! We love exploring the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. Every hike is an adventure and new memories are made for our family. We are excited to finally own three beautiful mountain cabins and thrilled to share them with you.

"Bear in Mind" (VRBO#2142098) and "It Bears Repeating" (VRBO#2805434) are located in Gatlinburg in the Arts and Crafts Community. The cabins are close together which makes them perfect for big families or large groups. "Bearindipity" (VRBO#2725990) is located in Pigeon Forge near The Ripken Experience Ballpark. Our cabins are tucked away for privacy yet close to grocery stores and all the tourist attractions located along The Parkway.

All three cabins are loaded with all the amenities needed for the perfect vacation experience. We thought of everything. From fire pits, to cookware, plush towels and the most comfortable beds you can imagine. You will discover why we are a 5-Star vacation experience and why our guest return year after year.

Make sure to check out all three of our cabins when planning your vacation in the Smoky Mountains!

Why they chose this property

The peaceful mountain view! Sitting on the deck in the quietness of the forest with Mt LeConte in the distance is perfection. We fell in love with the cabin's convenient location and secluded feeling.

What makes this property unique

"Bear in Mind" is conveniently located to everything! The cabin is situated at the Great Smoky Mountains National Park's north side entrance and a short drive to all of the attractions in Gatlinburg and along The Parkway in Pigeon Forge. Hint, hint...make sure to take advantage of the back road "short cut" to the cabin during crowded, heavy traffic times in Gatlingurg!
