Great mountain cabin for a family trip. Clean, cozy, and the perfect spot for taking the kids to the Polar Express train ride. We had a wonderful stay and would absolutely come back.
Property is great, our boys loved the bunk beds and game room in the garage. We were most impressed with how responsive the property owner was and her hospitality.
Our stay at the property was excellent. Nivea the property manager was great at communicating during the check in process. The house was spotless. We enjoyed our stay very much and would book again when we stay in that area again.
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 place to stay for a group trip to the Smoky mountains. The home was perfect for our trip. It is in a good location slightly out of town. The owner had great communication and was supper helpful. Thanks!
Had a group of teens and we really enjoyed this property. Game room was really fun and house is secluded. Plenty of room and the kitchen is well equipped to cook. Not too far from Deep Creek
Our family was in town for the Polar Express which is about a 15 minute drive. Very secluded home in gated community- loved location and the beautiful landscape. Very clean and loved that it was decorated for Christmas! We had a wonderful time!
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.
The home was beautiful and communication was easy. I wish the living room furniture was more comfortable but the Christmas tree was absolutely stunning and the beds were super comfy and I’m very picky about my beds.
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!
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!
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 :)
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.
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!!!
My stay here with family was wonderful! We very much enjoyed our New Year stay and loved the warmth and feel of the home, with its Christmas Decorations for the holiday season. The home was very comfortable, very clean and had all that we needed for our 4-night stay. Pots, pans, seasonings, games and more! I also will include that the host is great with communication and very responsive. This was our first time visiting the Bryson City area and I would definitely enjoy another trip/stay here!
We had a great time at this cabin & the whole process was smooth. There are plenty of kitchen items to use which helped a lot. This was an awesome place to stay!
Property was in the best location to see the mountains and the stars in the night sky. House was the perfect place for me and a few friends to enjoy a relaxing and fun few days.
Beautiful cabin in a beautiful location, Our family of seven had the best time , having our morning coffee on the porch enjoying the awesome scenery and great weather. Will plan to return in the future.
We really enjoyed our short getaway and wished it had been longer. However, the home was just what we needed to entertain the family on our Pilar Express adventure. Thank you!
