Close to everything, but still felt private and cozy. The hot tub could have been bigger, it’s more of a 2 person tub.

Lovely cabin

The cabin was stunning. Very clean and the beds were comfortable. There was a running stream just out back and even though we were close to downtown it felt secluded. The birds were singing and I saw a chipmunk, so cute. Wish we had more time there.

Great Get Away

Just a little getaway for Spring Break. Didnt want to drive for 20 minutes to get to cabin so it was perfect. 5 minutes to everywhere. Creek provided perfect noises.

New Years in the Mountains

We have very simple check-in and the cabin was ready. The cabin was clean, except the beds were a little uncomfortable. The hot tub was very enjoyable. We were very close to downtown. Just a little disappointed we didn’t see a bear!

This was a great location

A short weekend in Gatlinburg with friends. Cabin #17 was a cute place. Plenty of room for us. Adequate dishes, pans, coffee maker, Keurig, Paper towels and t-paper. Fabulous customer service at check-in building. Centrally located and we appreciated the parking passes for downtown garage. The whole cabin was surface clean. Could use a better dusting. Two extra sets of towels would be nice vs one extra set. We enjoyed it and would stay again.

Convenient and Nice

My husband and I stayed at this property for my work trip. The property looked exactly like the online listing. A couple of problems worth noting. First, no one reached out with check in information. My message on the Vrbo app went unanswered. If I hadn’t called the management group asking for help we would have been up a Creek since we arrived after office hours. Second, not much attention to detail was given to the property. The toilet paper holder was broken. The upstairs shower curtain was dirty and the blinds on one were unable to open or close. The headboards were also covered in dust. While we enjoyed our time here, We could have stayed somewhere much nicer for the money spent.

Not for everyone

The property looked as photos. Parking passes that were included were a plus. Amenities were as what you would find in a hotel suite, dishes (not kid friendly), sample toiletries, but no extra blankets or pillows. The beds were comfortable after a day of hiking. The house was quite dusty, with a significant build up on fixtures, ceiling fans, etc. and there were old food wrappers under the edge of the couch from a previous customer. The hot tub while does in fact need to have the proper amount of chemicals to maintain cleanliness, after 15 minutes of being in it bleached our clothing and my husband received a chemical burn. As another review stated, there were the presence of ants which made putting anything on the counter such as snacks difficult. As a family with small children, I would not recommend to another family of the same stature.

Great Cabin

Great home base for our family’s Smokey mountain vacation. Plenty of room for our family of 4. Good location, walkable to some attractions on the north end of the Gatlinburg strip but likely a drive for most people. They provide free parking passes to a garage near the convention center which was nice. The upside of the location is you don’t have to fight as much traffic to get to pigeon forge. The hot tub took several days to heat up so we didn’t get much use out of that. The beds were both kings and extremely comfortable.

Weekend Getaway

We encountered ants in the kitchen which I told the cabin rental office. The dishes were not clean. Every one I wanted to use had to be washed first. The downstairs bathroom shower curtain was awful. It kept coming off the hooks and you had to work with it to keep water from getting on the bathroom floor. I don’t typically complain but thought I would leave these comments in the hopes that the next guest would not have same issues. Overall our stay was nice. The beds were super comfortable after hiking long hours in the smoky mountains and it was quiet and pleasant on the back deck. The rental office also provided parking passes in Gatlinburg which was an unexpected surprise.

Great place to stay in Gatlinburg area

Very short drive to downtown with passes for free parking. Short drive to Pigeon forge. Location was great! Loved the creek behind the cabin and deck with the hot tub. Nice getaway from the hustle and bustle of the area. Inside the cabin was roomy and clean. Would definitely stay here again!

Stay too short

The cabin was beautiful. But it was located too far from downtown and wasn’t an easy walk for us. But even though we were given free parking passes to park we were unable to find the parking place.

Cute cabin in great location!

Loved our 3 night stay here at Bear Tracks 17! The cabin was spacious & clean. Great location for hanging out around downtown Gatlinburg. They provided us with parking vouchers to use at the bearskins parking garage which was an unexpected bonus! Beds were comfy & the 2 person hot tub was lovely in the evenings! The only thing I would suggest is a new shower curtain in the downstairs bathroom but other than that, everything was perfect! I would highly recommend this property!

The staff that didn’t care

We arrived a bit early and the staff said the house wasn’t ready and they’d text us when it was. Never received any notification and we went back and the paperwork was sitting there waiting for us. Got to the house to find that there was no internet, cable or phone. Called they said they would send someone out. When nobody arrived after more than an hour we called back and were informed that oh yes they know and that they have a work order placed and we should have it back in a few days. They claimed they didn’t know but we’re sure they did because they told us they had a few cabins with this issue due to a storm a few days before and our neighbor said he had been without it for days. We do understand that things like that are out of their control however that should have been mentioned at check in and they should have let us know that they were already working to get it resolved. They should not have said they would send someone and then just wait for us to call again to tell us. It was a complete lack of communication and apparent lack of caring that will make it so that we would not return or recommend this property to others.
