Smoky Mountain Cabin w/ Views and Hot Tub; Close to Nat'l Park, Pigeon Forge & Gatlinburg

David was a very responsive host. The layout of Sweet Home Bearolina was great for our group. The views were breathtaking.

This property has some clear strengths, especially the view. The mountainside panorama is beautiful and was the main reason we booked this home. The location also worked well for us, with a grocery store and several attractions within a reasonable driving distance. The drive in is a bit technical, but worth it for the scenery.Guests should be aware that the driveway is very steep. It is short, gravel, and was difficult to get up, with several potholes during our stay. Smaller vehicles may have trouble.Communication with the host was good. He was responsive, answered questions promptly, and provided additional photos when requested.The house had plenty of room for our group and the kids enjoyed the bunk room and the games in the basement.The main reason for the lower rating was cleanliness. The home did not appear to be thoroughly cleaned before we arrived. We had to clean the bathrooms and showers ourselves, there was dust in multiple corners, the kitchen cabinets needed a deeper clean, some of the beds were not made, and there were food crumbs in the basement and theater room. Because one of our children has a serious peanut allergy, that was especially concerning.One final note: check very carefully before leaving. We accidentally left behind a few expensive items, and the host was unwilling to make any effort to help return them.Overall, the view and location were great, but the cleanliness issues and poor post-stay experience made this feel like a 3-star stay.

Large space to accommodate our family and beautiful view of the mountains. However we were disappointed in the condition of the rental. The property needs a deep clean and maintenance throughout. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of linens. Great communication with host. Responded in timely manner with plumbing issue and had it resolved while we were in town.

Great cabin!Hosts were so easy to work with and the whole process was just nice.Cabin is great with nice bedrooms and living spaces.Hope to go stay again

This house is fantastic! We enjoyed the views while sitting around the fire pit on the main deck. Very clean and lots of room, we would highly recommend this beautiful "lodge" in the Smokey mountains!!!
