Cabin was clean. Hot tub was clean as well. Cleanest hot tub I have had staying anywhere. My grandsons loved the outdoors and I loved the private property knowing there was not much traffic on our road. Rhe swing was a great relaxation stop while watching the boys.

Fantastic Weekend Stay

Fantastic weekend at the Bear-Den! Very clean and met all of our needs. We loved how close it was to the main highway and Cherokee (less than 5 mins). Easily accessible! Jacuzzi was a huge plus. We will be staying again!

Beautiful holiday home!

We absolutely loved the house. Jon was a perfect host and gave us valuable information on the area. The home's location was perfect and nearby places we wished to visit. The furniture was super comfortable and the accommodation had everything we needed! We will definitely be back for another visit!

Amazing property near Great Smokey Mountains National Park

We stayed at this property for three nights. We wanted to be close to the National Park so we could hike and then come back to a place in the evening to cook dinner and relax. This property was excellent with tons of amenities and it serves us beautifully. We definitely recommend this property to others who are considering staying in the area and we would gladly stay again!

Trip to Cherokee

Scheduled to stay here for our fishing trip to Cherokee. The house was terrific! Hot tub was a wonderful way to relax at the end of the day. Location was very close to Cherokee, and it was easy to get there for some trout catchin! Also, it was minutes away from the casino as well $$. If you want a place to rest in between your gambling (on the river or at the slots), this is the place for you!

Fantastic spot out of the way, yet near everything.

Came up for Christmas with the family, location was perfect. Easy and quick access to Bryson city, Cherokee, and Maggie valley. Spent 1 day riding side by side 4 wheelers (rented from gtr adventures in Bryson city) and explored the mountain trails. Went snow tubing in Maggie valley, trout fishing in Cherokee. All of those places were maybe 15 minutes drives. House was spacious and clean. Plenty of seating in the living room. It was nice to have a desk with an external monitor to do some work. Would definitely stay again.

Clean and comfortable

We stayed here for my 18 year old daughter's volleyball tournament at the casino. The cabin is very clean and very comfortable. It has a large kitchen and living room and two large bedrooms. We had an issue upon check in with the heat but upon contacting Jon and Elvis it was quickly resolved. Elvis lives nearby and came right over to check on things. The location is secluded but very convenient to Cherokee. It was about a 5 minute drive to several restaurants, the grocery store, and the casino. We would stay here again. 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Nice quoet getaway

First of all, this was our second year at Goldilocks. We planned a trip to do some white water rafting and shopping. The property was as described. Everything needed was available. It was clean and most of all comfortable. This not the home for you if tou are looking to in town and have access to everything. However, if peace and quiet is what you are looking for, this is it. There was only one television in the house, but, the internet made up for that. The only issue we had was, there was a set pf bath towels, that didn’t smell clean. The others were fine, we simply threw them in the wash. Yes, we will book again. Enjoyed it.

Could not have asked for a better location. The house was situated on a dead end state maintained road. It was on a private drive and was secluded, making it extremely quiet. It is an older house, however, nothing was lacking. Not sure if we spoke to the owner or not, there was a gentleman on site completing maintenance. There were no issues so no contact was needed. Two bedrooms and two bathrooms for the price of a hotel room you cant beat it. There are some other rental properties there, but, they were empty. So, we had the property to ourselves. Just a few minutes from Cherokee and Bryson City. Easy drive to Asheville and Pigeon Forge. And, yes, pet friendly. Our Malinois loved it. We are already planning our next trip. Thanks for the stay.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Goldilocks! It is just off a major route but in the wooded surroundings you’d think you were much further away than you were. We will recommend this place for anyone wanting to visit the area.
