The Browns from Indiana

We were extremely pleased when we arrived at the cabin to find it just as the VRBO listing described! Actually it was better! The spacious living area made it great for our family to enjoy the time together! We made great use of the kitchen island everyday preparing our meals. The hot tub was very nice! Thank you for the cleanliness and hospitality! We will be back!

Long weekend

Beautiful home in the mountains. While you do have some minor traffic around the property it’s very tranquil. Enjoyed the short drives to town, hiking trails and eateries. Hot tub after a long hike was greatly appreciated. Wonderful time!

We will be back

We absolutely loved this place. It’s exactly as described in the photos. It’s far enough away from all the businesses, but less than 30 minutes from it all. We spent New Years weekend here and played lots of pool and spent time in the hot tub. I can see a trip back for us in the future.

Smoky Mountain Paradise!

My wife & I have rented many properties over the past 20 years of our travels to Hawaii, Mexico, Florida, Wyoming, North Carolina, etc., but the Country Bears Hall cabin in Sevierville, TN is by far the BEST property we've rented! This cabin is absolutely stunning! Everything from the beautiful rustic mountain design to all of the thoughtful amentities implemented by the owner ensures a totally enjoyable & memorable stay by you, your friends, loved ones, etc.!!

2024 Spring Vacation

The rental property was amazing…we were able to contact Carla easily with any questions we had…we have stayed at 4 other rentals in the past couple years and never wanted to return to those rentals for various reasons but we won’t stay anywhere else now…the location was great…we visited Cades Cove, Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge and The BILTMORE in Asheville and it was easy driving to all destinations….thanks again Carla..we can’t wait til our next visit.

Relaxing and Spacious House

Country Bears Hall was a beautiful place to enjoy with our family. The house had what we needed for our stay. It was new and very comfortable. The Bears theme was throughout. We even had a bear greet us when we checked in!

Exceeded our expectations

Pictures don't do this cabin justice. We stayed here for a baseball tournament with 2 families and had plenty of room. The cabin is much larger than it appears in the pictures. We enjoyed relaxing on the front porch, cooking in the kitchen, and playing board games at the dining room table. The host responded promptly with any questions we had. The location in Wears Valley was perfect for us. Would definitely stay again.

Great Cabin.

We had a great time. Location is a little far from all of the attractions and stuff. It’s about 25 minutes from the parkway. Got charged an excessive cleaning fee after leaving. So make sure to go beyond the check out list. Christmas tree was great.

The pictures don’t do it justice

This cabin is amazing. The pictures don’t do it any justice. It is HUGE! We loved the long island in the kitchen, the family room has a lot of seating, bathroom sizes and bed sizes. We had NO complaints! Friends that stayed at another cabin near by couldn’t get over the size and price of our cabin. Plenty of parking, quiet neighborhood, we cannot wait to go back!

Amazing Smokey Mountain Cabin Rental

We spent the week at this beautiful, spacious cabin in Wear Valley. The pictures don't do it justice. Everything was perfectly decorated and comfortable. We spent every morning on the front porch drinking our tea and enjoying each others company. Evenings were spent cooking and playing games with the family. We had a wonderful time. Our grandsons loved fishing in the pond. Our age group ranged from 4 years old to 80. Hopefully, we can visit again.

BEAUTIFUL Cabin in Wears Valley!!

We've stayed at a LOT of cabins in Wears Valley. This one is probably one of the best, if not THE best. It being new is very helpful for that of course. But the small things... Slightly larger bedrooms so it doesn't seem super cramped (enough room for nightstands, etc). Walk in tile showers. Nice size kitchen and dining area. All the bedrooms on 1 level. NICELY stocked kitchen, including things like tupperwear for leftovers. There was a very minor issue the first day, but Carla (property owner) responded promptly, and handyman was on site within an hour (on Fathers day no less!!!). The house being pretty new still, there were a couple of truly minor issues that we let Carla know about, but NOTHING that would prevent us from returning!

First VRBO experience and it was amazing.

This was our first time with a VRBO and it exceeded our expectations. The cabin was immaculate and has easy access. It’s far enough away from the hubbub to be peaceful but close enough that you can get to tourist attractions easily and quickly. The kitchen is relatively well stocked. (No whisk, no BBQ tools) No hot pads for the table. The porch is amazing! We loved to sit out there and relax after our adventures. This cabin is perfect for someone with disabilities as it is open and no steps. Carla (owner) is very responsive and accommodating. I highly recommend this VRBO!
