Perfect for a weekend getaway!
The golden memories cabin was the perfect place for my boyfriend and I to celebrate our anniversary. We had a wonderful time hanging out in the hot tub, cooking in the kitchen, playing pool, and enjoying the view!

Great Cabin!
Bear Falls was a great place to stay while visiting the Smokey Mountains. We were close to the national park and to all the fun in Pigeon Forge. We even planned a lounge day at the cabin so we could have a tournament of games and just relax. We hope to be back!

A little piece of Heaven
This was our second year in this cabin. The view is beautiful, the cabin is very accommodating, and the owners are so responsive! One of the things we love about this cabin is the ample parking space and the ability to be high enough for a beautiful view, but steps away from an easy walk in the valley. You won't be disappointed. The pictures do not do this cabin justice. We had 3 generations staying in the cabin both last year and this year; everyone had a fabulous time.

Pigeon Forge Trip
Beautiful location, loved the cabin! Plenty of room for six adults and two boys. Close to many attractions and easy to find. Wood definitely stay again and recommend.

The Perfect Spot if you are visiting the Smoky Mountain National Park
I can't imagine a better rental for a group or family to use as headquarters during a trip to the mountains. Located on a quiet street and flat yard for young grandchildren it was safe and fun. They enjoyed fishing in the nearby pond where we also spotted kingfishers, tree swallows, turtles and bats. At night after hiking in the park (which is incredibly accessible from this spot - NO TRAFFIC ! ) they loved the hot tub and then sitting around the fir pit cooking s'mores. We ate on the front porch overlooking the farms and watched bluebirds feeding in the front yard and field across the street. It is indeed "the quiet side of the Smokies". We were 10 minutes from Metcalf Bottoms Camp site and less than 3O to Elkmont with easy access to Townsend, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. This spot is 5 *****'s for sure!

Golden Memories stay.
My wife and I stayed at the Golden Memories cabin and had a great time. Loved the privacy and the view of the mountains. Only had one issue with stay and a repairman showed up within 15 minutes to fix it. The cabin was clean and well stocked. Would definitely come here again. Thanks Phil and Nancy

True family memories
So loved staying here. It was perfect for our family. The cabin was clean and well stocked. The valley view was beautiful in the morning. Sitting by campfire roasting marshmallows was icing on the cake.

Great Cabin in a Great Location!
We loved staying at Black Bear Lodge. It was in the perfect location for our group of 10. Very clean and comfortable. This cabin has that homey feeling. Everything worked fine except the hot tub but that was not a deal breaker for us. We had a wonderful time. Very private and secluded setting. The fire pit was great for gathering out side in the evening. The woodland setting was a very authentic experience for our kids. Motorcycle and trailer friendly.

Loved the cabin
My wife and I stayed at the Golden Memories cabin for our 17th anniversary. We had a wonderful time. The weather was rainy, but we didn't care, the cabin had everything we could want. We made good use of all the amenities. We were very comfortable the moment we stepped into the cabin. We give it 5 stars and plan on staying there again in the future. Though our next trip will be in the summer months so we can enjoy the back porch more. There are a couple of things that would make it even better. A full length dressing mirror would have been appreciated by my wife. Maybe a free standing one, or something on a door or wall. Then the last thing is maybe a extra shelf or two in the bathroom. The sink doesn't have any room for toiletries and it might be nice to have another shelf to put them on. We did use the one small one there, but that wasn't quite enough. Loved the place and we would highly recommend it to anyone.

Delightful Mountain Getaway
The Black Bear cabin was delightful and just as described. It was very spacious and the amenities were great. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub at the end of each day. Hope to visit again in the future and would highly recommend to others!

Beautiful Cabin
We absolutely loved this cabin. Donn and Margaret are the best to work with. Fully stocked for all your needs. Fenced in back yard if you bring your pups. One level except for downstairs game room. Perfect cabin if you need handicap accessible house with no stairs to climb. Very close to Cades Cove and all the attractions in Pigeon Forge. This will be our go to cabin from now on.

Great space, location and layout!
I stayed here with 5 friends and a couple of our dogs. We had a wonderful time staying at Bear Lodge cabin and would highly recommend it for anyone looking to plan a trip to the Smoky Mountains. The cabin was clean, with all the amenities you’d want. There was plenty of space and the layout is great for both spending time together and finding some privacy. We really enjoyed having coffee on the porch and spending time on the back porch in the hot tub. Unfortunately for us, it rained the entire time, but we were able to still enjoy ourselves immensely inside the cabin all weekend. We had no issues and it was easy to communicate with the owner. We already want to come back, and would stay here again.

GREAT FAMILY GET AWAY
We had a WONDERFUL TIME (including storm and rain). The cabin layout is great - would have been room for several more than our 4 and very well stocked for all of our needs. Murphy, the Old English Sheepdog loved being able to roam around outside the cabin as there is plenty of room ...but didn't go far without one of us! Loved having the hot tub on the main floor level. Great location between Townsend, newly opened Foothills Parkway and Pigeon Forge. HOPE TO RETURN. Thanks to Tisch Family for sharing their home.

Great and easy weekend getaway!
Donn & Margaret's cabin was a great choice for our quick trip to the mountains last weekend. We went for some much needed family downtime, and the choice was perfect. The cabin, really a home, was clean and the location was just perfect for peaceful quiet, while being within easy driving distance to Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg, and in the opposite direction Townsend and Cades Cove. The fenced in backyard was a great option for our pup to get outside a bit. Enjoy your stay!

Weekend Relaxation
The Family Memories cabin was perfect for my family's weekend getaway. The cabin was even better than we expected. We were close enough to town to enjoy all the attractions, shopping, and dining, while still being far enough off the beaten path for quiet time. Loved it!

Best vacation yet!
This cabin was awesome! I surprised my wife for her 35th birthday with a trip to this beautiful cabin. What's best, her family was waiting inside when we arrived. It slept all 17 (10 adults, 7 kids) of us more than comfortably. I really liked the fact the cabin already comes with plates, silverware and cookware. That helped out allot. The pool table downstairs is perfect and the hot tub was great. We used the grill and spent time at the fire pit. We were really lucky to see a snowfall which made the views even more spectacular and kept the kids entertained. I'm especially thankful to Donn and Tish for emailing us an alert about the snowfall. Thankfully we were able to drive out and explore Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. I definitely recommend this cabin for a large family looking to spend some quality time together playing pool or relaxing by the fire (both inside and out).

Awesome cabin!!
Loved the cabin and the area it was located!!! Far enough away from everything but still close enough to do all of our favorite things. Plus, my blue heeler and moms weenie dog loved the outside fenced in yard and had a blast! Can’t wait to come here again!

We loved our stay at Grand View. It was spotlessly clean and tastefully decorated. The view was amazing. The staff at Tennessee Mountain View View Cabins were very helpful and accommodating. We would definitely stay here again!

A+
Definitely follow their directions. Not only do they know what they're talking about, but it'll be the scenic route. When I arrived there was a nice little pile of wood at the fire pit, so don't be surprised if you don't need to purchase any. I used the stove, the hot tub, dryer, dishwasher, coffee pot, microwave. All of them were fully functional and clean. I wasn't too excited that there was no phone line for the cabin because T-Mobile service was not present anywhere, but if you hook into their WiFi and enable WiFi calling you'll be set. I had to drive about five minutes towards Pidgeon Forge before I had cell service again. For those wondering about the TV, it is an HDTV. You should bring your Roku (or game console) to take advantage of streaming as their Comcast service is not in HD. The fireplace did it's job and even overheated the cabin by a solid five degrees when I kept it running. In regards to checking out nearby places, make sure to check out Wears Valley and Townsend. Just find an outside table somewhere and look at those beautiful mountains while you sip hot coffee. Pidgeon Forge is a tourist trap, but hey, you might be looking for that anyway. A+ would return again.

Another Great Stay at Bear Lodge
Bear Lodge has become our home away from home. We booked last minute after a busy year and I am sure glad we did. There is no better place to us to go relax and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful landscape of the Smokey Mountains. This was our 11th stay at these cabins and we have already booked our next stay at Bear Lodge for the kid’s spring break. Can’t wait to get back.

Relaxing Time
What a wonderful cabin. We had a family vacation. The cabin is a great setup with King beds on every floor. The basement was perfect for my family. The fireplace was cozy and the couches very comfortable. The cabin is only 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge and 35 from Gatlinburg. The views are breathtaking on the way to anywhere!

The Bear Falls Cabin was a great place for our group to gather. It had everything we needed and more! It was very clean and true to photos of the property. The hot tub was perfect in the rainy/cold weather.

Much needed get away
We loved our stay at Simpy Golden! On October 10th, hurricane Michael swept through our county leaving behind it, very few trees and piles, and piles of debris and blue tarped roofs. Luckily, last January, we put a deposit on a cabin in Tennessee for a Christmas get away for the entire family. Little did we know, how much we would need the break. The cabin was spectacular, the view stunning, and the location central to any place we wanted to go (My grandson did not want to come home - 4 years old). We highly recommend Smoky Mountain Secluded Cabin / Simply Golden.

What an amazing family vacation!
We are so grateful we had a chance to stay at this wonderful cabin. It was our first big family vacation and we absolutely loved it. The cabin was everything we could ask for and more. The living room was absolutely wonderful and we spent lots of time there putting together one of the puzzles we found tucked away in the drawer. We also appreciated the Christmas decorations - it made things nice and cozy. We loved having the hot tub and it was so nice to sit and soak after a long day of hiking in the Smokies. Our 10 year old daughter was a big fan of the air hockey table! The kitchen & outdoor grill had everything we needed and we loved sitting around the table together to enjoy some great food with great company. The location was perfect with just a short drive to Townsend or Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed lots of local activities and couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Your family was so welcoming to us and helpful both prior to and during our stay, and we thank you so much for that. It's great to have that personal touch. We're already looking forward to booking our next stay with you.

I'm homesick for the cabin
I had a great stay at the Golden Memories cabin. I'm even homesick for it. The views, the song birds in the morning while drinking coffee, the cows mooing through the valley, the comfy warmth in front of the fire. I miss it all now that I'm back home. I've never in such a magical place before. Also, Jerry is great. I had an issue with something and Jerry called me back to help me it. I'm a beginner when it comes to hot tubs and he walked me through it on the phone after 9pm. I felt horrible to have to disturb him so late but he assured me it was not a problem. What great customer service. I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful place.

Family Stay at Golden View Lodge
Our family of 10 had a wonderful stay at Golden View Lodge. This cabin was VERY CLEAN, spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything that we needed. Views of the mountains were beautiful !! The drive up was steep but manageable. The owners Donn & Margaret Tisch were wonderful to work with. They were very thorough and responded very quick with any questions or concerns that we had. I would highly recommend staying at this cabin. We hope to return very soon.
