Great family getaway

From the minute we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice for our family getaway. The outdoor pavilion with its hot tub, fire pit, pizza oven, grill, and outdoor bar was just amazing! The house was perfect for us. The elevator was vital with 3 people in the party who are disabled. Great, great home away from home.

Bear Tracks Papa Swimming Hole

Property was very clean and was all that the Listing showed. We could not figure out how to turn on the games one call to Tim is all it took. He was very friendly and helpful. Bear Tracks will be my go-to from now on when visiting Pigeon Forge.

Great time!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family rents a cabin though the years from Bear Tracts, with no complaints. We have rented Rocky Stream Lodge and Papa Bears Cabin many times. They are both clean, well kept, up to date, comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, with lots of amenities. The game rooms are so fun with games for all ages. Relaxing in the hot tub or playing basketball in the swimming pool, enjoying book nook, sitting by the fire and roasting s’mores. We have made so many memories and will continue to do so. The owners of the cabins have thought of everything! Thank you from the Mahoneys for a trip filled with so many family memories. We will definitely be back!

WOW! This place is freakin insane! It’s a huge place and something for absolutely everyone. It has an elevator! Every detail is top notch, the views are incredible and the kids loved the lower level. The Arcade is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a rental, the little ones stay in the bear cave, it has a bear cave and tunnel.. seriously. From the drive down to the cabin, to the light fixtures, it’s beautiful everywhere. You won’t find anything nicer. Absolutely an incredible place. Before you leave, you have to sit out in the Pavillion with your feet propped up in front of the fire pit watching the sun set over the view. It’s cool. Matt and April are quick to answer any questions. A great time!

High Expectations

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: After reading the description, all of us were expecting cabin paradise , right? The elevator didn't work from the start. We had to call and they showed us how to reset it. Then it got stuck. After that it worked fine but by that time most were too afraid to ride it.The games Hop, Space invaders and the pinball machine didn't work.Neither did the firepit.One of the guest's brought me some hair she found on her pillow. They did deliver us 2 clean pillow cases and they ordered parts to fix things but our vacation would be over before then.It is a nice cabin just wished everything worked especially considering what we paid. I try to not complain but you asked for a review.

September 2024 Stay

This was the best family vacation we have had in a long time. And I truly believe it was because of this cabin!! We had amazing views! We got to see the resident bear!!! This cabin had it all!!! Lots of rooms, lots of games, indoor pool, outdoor cooking area and a big plus for us was the elevator! It allowed my dad to be able to be with the family on every level and he got to enjoy the games as well!! The owner even came and checked on us!! If we didn't go anywhere and just stayed here in the cabin for the weekend, we would still be over the moon happy with this cabin!! Again..Best Cabin!!!!

Fantastic Place

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Everything was great from the views to the accommodations. Any issues we brought up were quickly taken care of. Views were amazing. I would like to bring up two glaring issues that hampered our experience. One the kitchen chairs are for lack of better terms disgusting. Stained... mildewy... For such a nice place we were shocked at the condition of the chairs... no one wanted to sit on them.. which made meal time cumbersome. Also no garbage disposal... Why? Please check on a possible hornet infestation... we killed 4 inside while there two of which in the upstairs handicap bathroom. All in all we will recomend the place to others... consider coming back but will probably opt for a new experience.

This cabin is absolutely stunning! There is everything to do there and you really don’t have to leave if you don’t want to. The cabin is big and roomy where we made some amazing memories! The game rooms were an absolute hit as we are all very competitive and hated to lose when we played against each other even as adults! Will definitely be back as we come here yearly!

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Amazing HOST that saved our vacations from what could have been a potential disaster. AN ABSOLUTELY STUNNING CABIN. First time reserving through them after that AIRBNB cancelled our previous cabin and NEVER accommodated into a new one. This place was impeccable, the entire cabin is decorated with beautiful details that makes it so welcoming and warming. LOVE the BEARS THEME decor, all the commodities it has doesn't make you want to leave, it is well entertained for adults and kids.
