Wonderful stay in the Smokies
We had the best time at the "Golden Memories" cabin on our honeymoon. The cabin was very clean and cozy, and Donn and Margaret were available for everything we needed. We never rented a private cabin before and the process with them was very easy! We will highly recommend the cabin to our friends and we will be back!

Bear Lodge Cabin vacation
We had a really nice & peaceful stay at the Bear Lodge. The cabin was nice. It is just far enough away to be very peaceful. And close enough to be very handy to get whatever you need. We will be coming back. The valley was a short drive with plenty of things to see & do.

Fall break!
Every year the most family gets together with some friends also and rent a large cabin to get away from the real world and relax. Bear Falls tell nothing short of what we wanted. Had no complaints at all and would stay here again.

The cabin we stayed at was called Heavens View and it was wonderful. The cabin was clean and beautiful we felt lucky to have had Don tell us about this cabin. A little far from gatlinburg but for us that was no big deal and the view was awesome we will be back thanks Don.

Family getaway
We had the most wonderful time and made so many "family memories!" Donn and Margaret's cabin was perfect for our family - including my 88 year old grandmother who is handicapped. The cabin was easily accessed and clean, with all the amenities you could ever need! We will absolutely be returning every chance we get!

Wonder Yearly Adult Trip
We have used Smoky Mountain properties for the last 4 years to book our yearly couples trip. This cabin is perfect. We had 12 adults (6 Couples) and everyone had their own bathroom. There was a lot room and everything was beautiful. We cant wait until next year.

We have visited the Smokey Mountains several time in our 50 years of marriage. We have always stayed in hotels in previous years, but we decided to try a cabin this time. We found the Family Memories just perfect for a stay with our sons and grandchildren Thanks for providing a great place to get away from an everyday routine.

We'll be back!!
The cabin was absolutely beautiful and perfect in every way! Couldn't ask for more for a romantic getaway. Beautiful view of the mountains and clean and well maintained. Excellent location -- away from the crowds and traffic of the more commercialized areas, but close enough that if you want to head that way, you can. I can't say enough good things. Was everything I had hoped it would be and more!

Amazing cabin and view!
Such a beautiful cabin I don't know where to begin!! Our 1st trip to the Great Smoky Mtns was totally wonderful beginning with Heaven's View cabin. Beds were really comfy, kitchen had everything we needed for cooking, plenty of towels in each bathroom, super water pressure and soft water to keep our skin nice, hot tub was enjoyable, jazucci felt great, the pool table was fun, living area room had enough space for 10 adults and 5 children. The deck was a place of solitude even with everyone sitting around. Quite a refreshing time with no worries about needing anything because the cabin was so thoughtfully and well equipped! Each room was unique and very tastefully decorated, ready to come again soon!

Cabin Comforts
We have stayed at this cabin before and several upgrades were done in the interim. A new deck that goes around the side of the cabin to the front of the cabin was a great addition! It was nice to watch the stars and the full moon from the front porch deck at night The fire pit in the back yard was upgraded, a nice touch. The cabin is one level for the bedrooms with a pool table in the lower level. The one level is nice for elderly guests, like us. The hot tub was welcome every day that we were there. This cabin is also very close to Cade's Cove so you can get there early as it fills up very quickly during the day with all the traffic in the park. We will definitely be back again. I almost forgot, the yard is fenced in and a good size, not too big or small, for your fur faced kids. We will definitely be back! Larry, Nancy, Teddy Bear, Maggie Mae

Heavenly Views for Sure
Donn & Margaret, Our three adults and two boys enjoyed your cabin. The boys loved the pool table and the hot tub was a perfect place for the sunset and star gazing. Kitchen was well stocked with utensils and three king beds with plenty of blankets for the cool evenings. Since our party was small we didn't use the two (2) downstairs bunk beds. Conveniently located near the entrance to Cades Cove up high on a ridge in Wears Valley. Thank you for sharing your little slice of heaven!

What a beautiful cabin!
We had a great time at your cabin this year. It was a first for our family, as we all went together. It was a very accommodating cabin, with large rooms, and well stocked kitchen, and plenty of sleeping area for a big family. It is very close to restaurants, (Paw Paws Catfish Shack) was very good, and they were happy to serve our large group even though the restaurant was so small. Donn and Margaret are awesome hosts and answered all our questions, and were happy to let us check in a little early because the cleaning was done. Thanks again for your kindness and for being gracious hosts! If ever the group is this large again we will definitely come back to this cabin. Oh, I almost forgot, the cabin was very clean as well. Take it from someone that rents a cabin EVERY year, sometimes twice, this was one of the cleanest by far! Thanks again Y'all!!

Wonderful Experience
We were very impressed with our cabin, and were lucky enough to get it at a GREAT price! Loved the view of the mountains in the distance! Great location and easy access to get back to Pigeon Forge. The cabin was secluded, which is exactly what we wanted. We will definitely keep this cabin in mind for our next trip to the smokies!

Perfect place - perfect location!
We stayed in Bear Falls for our son's wedding. We had a total of 13 people, spanning 3 generations, for the weekend while my husband and I had a couple days by ourselves. The cabin was perfect for the whole situation. I can't recommend this cabin highly enough. We took time to enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit while the kids enjoyed the foosball, air hockey, and pool tables. It was perfect for spending time with family for such a special weekend!

CABIN REVIEW
The cabin was very nice. It had everything we needed. We were a little disappointed that the inside fireplace was not in season.

Great cabin in a perfect location
This is our 6th straight year staying with donn and Margaret and we couldn't be happier with the cabin. It was a beautiful cabin in a great location. We had awesome views of the mountains from our deck. The cabin is conveniently located a short ride into Townsend, gatlinburg, and pigeon forge. We will be back again next year.

My hubby and I may have been married nearly 45 years , but when we step into Golden Memories cabin we feel like Honeymooners again.
The coziness of the studio reminds us of our first tiny apartment ????. And the heart shaped tub with room for two is perfect for relaxing after a long drive to TN.. We plan on visiting Golden Memories many more times in the future! We Love It????

Our stay
Clean, beautiful, peaceful! This cabin was everything and more that we had hoped for! The owners are very personable and made sure we didn't need anything and that we got settled in! It felt like we were staying at a family members house! We also loved that it was pet friendly which was hard to find! We will be back!

Exactly like the pictures, but better
We had 11 adults travel to Tennessee for the GSM half marathon. We (obviously) did not know the area Donn and Margaret helped us to make sure we were close to the start and finish. We all had enough space to get up and around. The kitchen and bathrooms were stocked to start us and we had plenty of room for us to cook and all eat together. The cabin was lovely. We had some company in the afternoon, with a bear walking around the back yard. This was very exciting to us and just added fun to our trip. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to anyone and everyone. This was perfect for us!

Fabulous stay at Bear Lodge Cabin
My family of 5 just returned for a week's stay at Bear Lodge Cabin. The cabin is just as described, very clean, and stocked with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. We particularly appreciated having "essentials" like a few paper products and coffee already in the cabin when we arrived. The cabin was perfectly located to our areas of interest in the GSMNP and being from the Gulf Coast, the cooler temps and lower humidity were most appreciated. The directions and arrival instructions were clear and easy to follow. We enjoyed our stay at the cabin very much and would recommend staying here to anyone.

35th Wedding Anniversary Stay
Truly enjoyed the 5 star cabin -views were awesome, decor was tasteful, furniture was very comfortable,king beds exceeded expectations, game room was enjoyed by all, fire pit was perfect for s'mores and it was centrally located to the things our family wanted to do. We walked into the wall of windows and all 6 jaws dropped.The master sitting area was perfect for sipping wine and watching the lights on the mountains around us coming on and going off,

Family Memories Cabin Review
Cabin is clean and well decorated. We had a wonderful time shopping, ate at Hillbilly's restaurant for breakfast, driving through Roaring Fork and taking in Dolly's Lumberjack Feud. I highly recommend this cabin. Will stay here again.

Great Week's Vacation
The cabin is beautiful, fully furnished. Plenty of room for a large group. The mountain view is wonderful, especially the evenings when storms are on the other side of the mountains - what a lightning show! The area is beautiful - be sure to visit the Titanic Museum. We learned more about the disaster at this museum than another exhibit in Chicago several years ago.

Beautiful Cabin!
We stayed in this cabin for our honeymoon and it was a great experience! Everything was clean when we got there and it looked just like the pictures. Everything was in running order and there were no surprises. The cabin is somewhat secluded which is nice, and close to many local restaurants and attractions and is even a short drive to Pigeon Forge. We also liked that it was very close to one of the few entrances into the Smoky Mountain National Park. We would definitely recommend this cabin to anyone who is considering!

We enjoyed our stay. Everything was as described. We enjoyed playing pool and soaking in the hot tub every night. The setting is peaceful. The location was great for riding our motorcycles.

Private, Large & Cozy
We (a family of 6) had a great week long stay. The cabin was fabulous. Large but cozy and cute but not cheesy. The beds are super comfortable and everything was clean. We had one small issue that was QUICKLY resolved by the owners. They are very responsive and friendly. We Would recommend this cabin highly. Our only negative would be that we were traveling with a 2 year old and there are lots of stairs to be mindful of...

Wonderful, Peaceful and Fun Women's Getaway
I want to first thank Donn and Margaret Tisch for being so helpful. When you call they are there ready and willing to help. We all appreciated you both. Our stay at the cabin was all that we asked for and more. The cabin was clean, roomy and plenty of items there for our use. The other thing we loved about this cabin was it was far enough away to enjoy the serenity of the mountains but close enough to Peigon Forge and Gatlinburg. This is defiantly a place we will return to.

Wonderful Cabin With a Great View
My husband and I took a trip to the Smokey Mountains to celebrate our 40th. anniversary. Your cabin was so delightful and had a beautiful view of the mountains. It was so much better than staying in a hotel! The cabin was spacious and had everything one would need. It would be a beautiful place to stay in the fall to view the changing colors. We will recommend your cabin to all our friends.
