Great spring trip to the Smokies

This property was just what we needed as two families on a spring break trip for children. This location was about 30 minutes from the NC entrance to the Smoky Mountains. The game room was great for rainy day entertainment. There were just the right amount of space for our party of 10 people total (4 adults and 6 kids). Nivea was great at communication and very helpful. Thanks for a great trip!

Thanksgiving Family Stay for Polar Express

The house was exactly as pictured! Very close to town (10 min drive) and beautifully decorated for Christmas. It was lovely and we had a great time. Nivea was very responsive and check in/out was a breeze. Would stay again!

Great Secluded Place with game room.

House as advertised! Owner was awesome and helpful. House is modern and clean. Just 4 friends that went and we hung out in the game room every night. Only negatives are the curvy narrow roads and no tvs in the bedrooms.

Comfortable home, convenient to town with beautiful views

My husband and I were looking for a home that was close to the Polar Express. We’re so glad we chose The Bear Necessities. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room and we all enjoyed the game room. The yard gave us some privacy and we were close to town. Would definitely stay again :)

Peaceful, Relaxing Home!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Necessities! It was clean & comfortable. My 4 young kids loves the bunk and game room. The property is also fun for exploring during a day of rest at the house. It is also close to many day trips to local attractions in the Smoky Mountain area.

Autumn Getaway With Lifelong Friends

This house was one of the best ones we have ever rented on VRBO, and we have rented many over the years. We lacked for nothing. Great location, lots to see and do in the area. Nivea was easy to work with and promptly answered questions. You can't go wrong by renting this property!

OutStanding!!!

Hands down one of the best places we have stayed at since using Vrbo. The cabin was perfect and had everything you could need to enjoy the breathtaking surroundings. We came to hike the Smokey’s along the AT and this cabin was perfectly situated. Even though the view wasn’t major(but still very nice!!), it was so well organized and supplied with modern appliances and excellent wifi, the stay was just outstanding!!! You’re not far from downtown Bryson and just 10 minutes from Ingles, so Re-supply is super easy and convenient. Just can’t say enough about this great cabin! Spotless, modern inferior yet still classic! Truly a hidden Gem!!!

About the host

Hosted by Nivea

Host profile image
Our family lives in Florida and we love the outdoors. We visited Bryson City for the first time in 2016 and fell in love. It is such a contrast to Florida and there are so many things to do with endless hiking trail options, mountain biking, zip lining, white water rafting, fishing, boating (I could go on and on). We love visiting our home in Bryson City and completely unplugging from the world. Leaving all problems at the door and just enjoying the serenity that nature brings. We wanted to share that with other families while we're not using the home. We love recommending our favorite experiences and reading the guest book each time we visit. Being able to curate a vacation of peace and adventure for families and friends is so much fun.

Why they chose this property

We selected this neighborhood due to its convenient location and the privacy it provides. It's near all the places we enjoy, like downtown Bryson City, the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, and the Nantahala Outdoor Center. Additionally, our property offers ample space for us to relax and enjoy our privacy.

What makes this property unique

We converted our detached garage to a game room and love hanging out there. The Smoky Mountains views from the porch and balcony are gorgeous. I love sitting outside on the rocking chairs and take in the views.
