Great place to stay. The cabin was beautiful. My only complaint is about trash. If you don't take your trash out they charge $50 for each bag. We are okay with taking our trash out, however, the facility doesn't provide outside trash bins to put your trash in and if you just leave the bag outside they charge you $50. How is one supposed to take trash to an outside trash bin when the place doesn't provide a trash bin? We ended up driving all the way home with trash in our car. If you want people to throw their trash out you should provide a place for them to put the trash. read more

This company and its rentals are a complete joke. Our cabin (A Bliss) was a DUMP!!. To begin we had a broken ironing board, 2 non working jacuzzis, a dining room fixture that its bulbs were popping and breaking, a carpet pulled out from in front of the ground level jacuzzi, lights broken, a couch that its reclining sections would not close and a cracked toilet tank. I would give this flophouse dump cabin zero stars. This place wasn't even livable for my dogs. They tell you they can't compensate you because it's in their contract and give you only free amusement passes. I will never rent from them again even if someone gave me this rundown DUMP to me for free. Don't stay here go somewhere else. The smell was so bad I was overcome and was ill for two days. I'm seeing my doctor after this and a shrink because I was nuts to stay there!! read more

We had to cancel our reservation due to a medical emegency that occurred 48 hours before check-in. We called immediately (from the emergency room) and offered to provide documentation of the emergency and injury that prevented any travel for two weeks. This company and the cabin owner refused to relist the cabin to see if it could be rented by someone else during our rental period. I asked about receiving credit to rebook the trip next summer but was told no. The rental company kept saying that we might still use the cabin even though I explained that the emergency and injury prevented any travel. Very disappointed in the lack of flexibility and productive discussion about the cancelation. All of the other companies in the area issued full refunds for our pre-booked activities along with some compassion for the situation. And the hotels we reserved as part of the road trip were easy to cancel. We will not rebook this trip due to the loss of $3,700 on the Bear Camp cabin rental. read more

What a wonderful experience at Tamins Treasure. Be aware that there are bears and they will sneak up on you and into your vehicles! Pros: The area is stunningly beautiful. The setup of the cabin is great for multiple families because each bedroom has a private bath. Internet worked well for our needs, and the view from the top deck is great! Decor makes it really feel like a cabin in the woods, which it is! We saw bears daily!! The staff at Bear Camp was wonderful! Some lights were out and they sent someone right away to replace bulbs. Cons: Dining seating is limited (although there were folding chairs and a table in the laundry room we found later). Hot water unreliable in upper showers. Some of the furniture is dated and past useful life. Hangers are needed in closets. We would definitely recommend to a friend. For the price you are paying for the views and atmosphere. Inside don't expect a resort, it definitely feels more rustic with modern amenities like running water, electricity and AC. read more

This cabin was great and easy to book. The location put it near so many attractions but still feels secluded and peaceful. I wish the wording with the free attractions through Xplorie was more specific: you can get one ticket per day. So the rest of the party will need to pay. Additionally, there is NO WiFi in this cabin. The AC worked well on ground level but remember heat rises. The loft was a bit warm. read more

We stayed at Big Sky. It was amazing. Very roomy. Everything taking care of. Clean and had broom,dust pan, mop and vacuum. Getting there was easy. The fire pit had fresh wood and benches have been added. There is a surprise. I am not sure if it was on purpose. But, the first day we was looking to see if there was another remote. Nope but we did find a uno card. Then stumbled across another game piece hidden. Then it became a scavenger hunt to find game pieces. We found 5 hidden in total. We left everything. We Thought it was fun. The kids spent awhile looking for them. The kitchen has everything you need. There is two coffee pots and a great toaster,Tea pitcher, plenty of plates. The smoke alarm would chirp every once in awhile in the bedroom to the right. The last night it started and by 2am it was going full on. No one got sleep. The porch is amazing. We stayed on it. Wear your outdoor shoes. We had a splinter and stubbed toe. The grill can be used but it is a basic park grill. The grate can't be moved out and there is so much air getting in we had flames the whole time. If we would have brought a water bottle we could have controlled it better. read more

Excellent Views! Great location! Good size for a couple families to stay comfortably.

We stayed in cabin Timeless View 12/27/24-1/3/25. We decided to try Bear Camp Cabin Rentals this time. We stayed for a week and paid peak prices for that week $810 per night. Cabin company provides a list of amenities on their website. Fireplace and dishwasher are on the list. On day 1 we immediately noticed the fireplace didn't work and reported it to office. My husband spent an hour and a half trying to get TVs working (Batteries dead in remotes, remotes and tv boxes in wrong rooms, tv in Spanish instead of English). It was a mess. The next day we learned the dishwasher didn't work & reported that. Both were looked at and neither could be repaired during our stay. That's two very important appliances we did not have during our entire stay. The fireplace was missing parts. I find it difficult to understand how we were the first to report missing parts in a fireplace. All but one of the pool table cue sticks were missing the tip (hard to play pool without a stick) and the arcade game was missing the main joystick. Nothing could be fixed without owner approval which is only done by communicating over email. We followed up on fireplace 24 hours later and they still hadn't heard from owner. We spent a portion of almost every day waiting for maintenance or the owner to address. Not how you want to spend your vacation. We did request a partial refund for the inconvenience. We were only offered a credit on a future stay. That's like saying I know you think my food sucked, but you'll pay full price this time. If you come back and try me again, I'll give you a discount. I submitted a review on the cabin website Jan 15, a week later the review has still not been posted. I called the cabin company and they said all they can do is send the team that handles reviews a message. We tried to go above the manager and they would not provide his or her contact information. Very misleading company. This is fraudulent behavior, false advertisement, and should not be permitted. read more

Beautiful cabin and a beautiful location reasonably remote but not terribly far away from trails, Gatlinburg, pigeon Forge. Two bedroom two bath beautiful wraparound porch small pool table video game machine and pinball machine. read more

Cute cabin and easy location to many activities in gatlinburg. Perfect for a single person or couple.

En sentido general todo estuvo bueno, solo señalar que la ropa de cama estaba sucia , tenía pelos de perro por toda la cama, no pusieron jabón para bañarse ni shampoo ni acondicionador, el jabón para el lavaplatos solo tenía 2 como para 2 días y yo estuve 4, el grill no tenía gas y el jacuzzi no estaba limpia, el agua turbia con olor a pescado. Todo lo demás bien, es un lindo lugar para pasar las vacaciones. read more

Drove 6 hours for them to tell us that our cabin isn't accessible, 45 minutes before we got there. No option for a refund, as is cleverly buried in the service agreement. I totally get that there are policies, but it wouldn't have cost anything to call earlier than 45 minutes before check-in time. I could have slept in like you wouldn't believe. This place may be nice, but who knows, we never got there. If you do book, call them the day before you leave to make sure, then 12 hours before your arrival, then 6 hours, aw hell better call them 3 minutes before, jussssst to make sure that you still have to a place to stay after a long drive. read more

The cabin was cozy and comfortable, hot tub was really nice, the location was great! It's directly between Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but I would highly recommend haveing a four wheel drive vehicle to get to it in the winter and rainy seasons. Over all we LOVED it and would highly recommend Bear Camp Cabin Rentals. And the free explorie attraction tickets were the cherry on top! read more

if I could give this place a zero that would be more I n line with our experience. in all the years my family has been going to pigeon Forge and enjoying the mountains we have never experienced the degree of uncaring that we have this trip. The property was a wreck with broken furniture arcades that didn't work and stained and dirty bathrooms. when we got back from the dinner show and we're putting the kids to bed we found urine saturated sheets and blankets. They refused to do anything!!!! we had booked two nights but needless to say we left this morning. Dont go through this mana to book anything!! read more

If you are looking for a nice get away cabin to enjoy all that pigeon forge and gatlinburg has to offer, do yourself a favor and do NOT stay here. Specifically the Always and Forever Cabin. The pictures on Bear Camp Cabin Rentals are very clearly not up to date. My wife and I stayed here for our 1 year anniversary and if it weren't for the partnership with xplorie, we would have packed up and gone elsewhere. The cleaning crew they have for this place is horrible. Stains on the furniture, mold in the bathroom and kitchen. Coffee pot has old dirty stains on the inside. Pretty much looks like it's never been cleaned. And the worst part is the infestation of roaches. Spent the whole first night killing these bugs. Went through a whole roll of toilet paper and paper towels just killing them. Even had to go out that night just to buy roach spray. And even after using that, still kept finding more and more roaches. We couldn't even trust to leave our luggage and bags in the cabin while we were gone, in fear that roaches might get into them. It got to the point that I called the front desk help line to get the cleaning crew out to the cabin to do an over the top cleaning job. Was told over the phone they will try to reach out to the cleaning crew but wasn't sure what they are doing and if they'll be able to get out to clean it. No one ever showed. That is absolutely sad that they can't even get a decent cleaning crew they trust. Be very careful plugging any appliances into outlets, as the roaches are very clearly coming out of the outlets like in the bathroom. That is a huge fire hazard. Especially with it being an all wood cabin. There's so many bugs that when we would leave to go places, we had to pack everything up and put them in the car to avoid any bugs getting in them. If you have this place currently reserved, I would cancel your reservation immediately. I get this is a cabin and yes bugs can be there. But honestly, this is very unacceptable. Do yourself a favor and avoid this place. Only reason it is getting 1 star is because of the partnership with explorie. This place is 100% horrid and just about ruined our 1 year anniversary. My advice is to stay far away from this cabin. read more

It was a very spacious place and a great price. conveniently located near lots of fun places and clean. the fireplace was a nice touch. The reason why I'm giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the beds were not real comfortable and one of the kids beds squeaked really bad every time she moved. and of course she complained that it wasn't comfortable so she toss and turned all night. other than that is was a decent place and would consider returning. read more

Stayed at the Majestic View Lodge in Gatlingburg, would definitely not recommend. The description states newly built, but definitely 4 years old. No basic maintenance has been done since. Loose plumbing fixtures, siding is Sun damaged and popping away from cabin, blinds don't work, air filters dirty, etc. Hot tub has not been drained and clean in a long time. There is bat poop going outside, and you will hear the bats at night in the ceiling. There are 4 bathrooms, but the water pressure is so low, only 1 person can shower at a time. The kitchen utensils have seen better days, knife handles were falling apart. This property clearly shows the owner is just looking for his rental fee, and does not expect repeat customers. Look for other properties and stay away from this bat infested slum-lord site. read more

Overall our stay went very well. The cabin is quaint and just right for the two couples. It was a great location to everything. A few minor things needed fixing but generally the cabin was clean inside and had what was needed in the kitchen. Be prepared to sweep spider webs from the porch if you intend to use it. Improvement could be made with some additional lighting as the kitchen and upstairs bedroom seemed too dark for our particular liking. The only negative was the walls between the duplex are quite thin. We could always hear the neighbors talking and the rowdy kids. The overall development was quiet for our October visit. read more

we loved the cabin it was beautiful and i love that it was secluded. I only wished that the ac and heat worked on the main level and that the hot water was a tad bit hotter overall we will loved it and will be back again read more

DO NOT RECOMMEND staying at Bear camp cabins!!!!! First night we get here it was late so couldn't call to check in till the next morning. We go through the cabin write down all the detail of things that is broken and wrong. Next morning call check in and eat breakfast go to wash towel and clothes and the washer is tore up. We call and tell them it takes them two days to bring us more towels out. We went out and bought more towels just to have clean ones to shower with. Not only that we only accommodated for having a washer and dryer. So we have to go to a laundry mat to wash clothes. All they could say is sorry and that it wouldn't be getting fixed while we was here because the work orders was so backed up. So if the work orders are so backed up people must be having the same issues with their cabins! Again DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! read more

The cabin "Always and Forever" was charming and so cute. We were ecstatic when we first got there and walked in. The reason why I gave it only 3 stars is if you're a bath person, you're not going to like this particular cabin. We thought something was wrong because the hot water quickly became cold. We called the contact person, Stephanie, to report it, and she said they were well aware of the problem because the cabin only had a 20-gallon hot water heater because the owner said he couldn't fit a bigger one in there. I find that hard to believe. Another problem is there is a house across the street (divided up into 4 apts) that had some unsavory characters living there. At 2:00am there were a number of people outside over there and our car alarm went off and we were a little concerned. There is a security system in the cabin, so we called the contact person in the morning to get the code for the cabin. She acknowledged, yes, there was a security system but that it didn't work. So, other than the above, it was good. read more

The water smelled like rotten eggs, we had to buy bottles of water to brush our teeth. The Wifi was almost non existent. I went out to the ho tub to get in, it was filled with something green growing. We called to let office know, hoping they would come clean it. It honestly looked like vomit. They never came to clean it. The creek water smelled better than the water here inside this cabin. We stayed at the Papa Bear cabin. You would expect a clean hot tub and rotten egg free water, if you are spending over $1,000 on a cabin. I even offered to send them pics of the hot tub too. read more

We have rented from Bear Camp Cabin before. This cabin was very spacious and nobody felt cramped or crowded. We did have a problem with the bedroom upstairs not having curtains on the windows leaving it too bright to sleep in. The outside of the cabin had plenty of sitting space but everything was covered in spider webs that I had to clean. I understand wildlife and outdoors but the area definitely had not been swept in quite awhile and for the amount I paid for cleaning and service fees, I should not have had to sweep all the chairs and floors. read more

We had a very pleasant experience at Papa Bear's Den. The cabin was very clean and neat. It had all the things we needed for our stay and was exactly as described on the website. The only issue we had during our stay was the A/C quit working the first night there, but when we contacted the lovely staff at Bear Camp Cabin Rentals the following morning, they told us they would take care of it and the issue was fixed the same day while we were out of the house. We had no further issues and really enjoyed our time at the cabin. I would definitely stay here again and I would recommend it to others! read more

We stayed at the Gritz Carlton cabin in January 2022 after our previous travel plans were cancelled due to COVID. However, this last minute booking proved to be the best decision we made, not to mention the 33% off January sale that Bear Camp was offering. Let me say, this cabin was everything we could have asked for and more! First off, the view was incredible. The house is one of the highest on the mountain creating spectacular views over the other cabins and mountains. The house itself is beautiful, cozy, and had anything and everything we could have needed for our stay. We had 10 people and there was more than enough space for us all no matter where we were. The additional perks that other places don't have like the pool, hot tub, theatre, and fireplace were a huge part of the fun we had during our stay. TVs in every room for entertainment, great speaker system in the living room and theatre. We loved cooking in the kitchen for the group and gathering at the table to eat every day. We had a mix of snowy weather, warm weather, foggy, and back to snowy. It was so cool to see the mountains with both snow and without. We loved our stay and hopefully we can return again next winter! read more

Room was great but everything in the website said we get free attraction tickets. Upon arrival we were told it was only for cabin rentals. Even the photo below this review says it without any disclaimers or astrix. False advertisement. read more

This a Great place to rent cabins from! Our experience this past weekend was Awesome except for the dishwasher being broke down but that happens from time to time! Very clean and Beautiful would recommend to anyone!!!! read more

Had a wonderful experience at Serenity Heights which we reserved through Bear Camp Rentals. The cabin was very clean, the hot tub was amazing and we had a very nice relaxing get away. The staff was very responsive to a situation that came up during our stay and made us feel right at home. We had a great time and will consider that for the future as well. I will add that the road to the cabin was as describe in previous posts and if you are going in the winter you would definitely need 4 wheel drive read more

Watch for hidden costs. They will continue charging your credit card for an entire year for "membership fees". A long list of don't do which includes a notebook. Limited towels. Bring your own. You will need to do laundry. They charge for cleaning but the floors were gross when we arrived. They won't tell you about the roads. There are actually very few actual options for the "free" tickets. Go to Vrbo. Much better experience. read more

Renting with Bear Camp Cabin Rentals was a great experience. The cabin was large and spacious with all the amenities we needed. The directions for checking in and out were clear and easy to follow, and didn't require us to go to the office or anything. Overall, we had a great time and would definitely rent from these guys again. read more

We spend our 1st year wedding anniversary at Bear End Cabin, and it was a treat. The quiet surroundings were excellent as well as the cleanliness of the cabin. We stayed from August 22nd to 29th of August 2020. The only disappointment for my wife was not seeing a black bear to take pictures and film, lol. Everything else was breathtaking! read more

Upon arrival cabin was delayed being able to enter. Never received an email stating there would be a delay. Lost power and running water after only being in cabin for 12 hours. Called office to report the incident, told not their problem it was widespread. No offer to relocate or help in any way. Just that they were sorry. Called 2 other times stating power was still not on, although most of the area was back on. Had no choice but to pack up and go to a hotel for $700 for our family of 7 after spending $1000 for the cabin for the weekend. Too harsh rental agreement for natural disasters. Staff not equipped to deal with such disasters. We live in Tennessee And understand things happen, but a not our problem attitude is not the Tennessee attitude. A business should be more customer friendly in such cases. This was the weekend from hell. Not to mention this cabin smelled upon arrival and was not deep cleaned. Bathrooms were not cleaned. Linens smelled. Furniture was filthy, I would never book this cabin rental company again. Not sure if I will ever visit the mountains again, but would never use this agency again. Poorest customer service in the history. No corporate contact. Rudest property manager I have ever dealt with in all my vacations. Robin is her name. read more

STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. DO NOT rent from them. I would give them ZERO stars if I could. They are an unprofessional organization. My husband and I rented the Splish-N-Splash cabin. We got there, and the cabin was clean. That's where the only good part of this review ends. We rented this cabin for the indoor pool. We paid $1,700 for 3 nights. We left after 22 hours. The water had a rotten egg smell. We called the company, and they said they would send someone out in 2 hours, which did not happen. My husband has lung issues, and this exacerbated his asthma. A few hours later, I noticed a rash that could have only been from the excessive sulfur in the water we showered in. After the shower, we had a barrage of drain gnats. The cabin was swarming with carpenter bees outside. We called the company. The first person he spoke to was an unprofessional woman with horrible customer service skills. She was of no help. We asked to be switched to another cabin and were told they were all on well water. He called back a while later and spoke to someone who was a bit nicer, but no resolution to our issue. We decided for our health, we could not stay here. We booked a room at the Hilton Home 2 Suites on Teester Lane. He called back and told them that we were leaving, and we wanted an email stating that we checked out after 22 hours and we would not be responsible for this cabin. The unprofessional woman immediately told him, "Well, you're not getting a refund," and that she would not send an email either because they would not put anything in writing. We weren't even asking for a refund at this point. My first thought is that they are used to people asking for a refund. We were told to call Janie in the morning. Which we did. We explained the issues and asked for her to put in writing we checked out early, but she refused to put in writing anything that could lead to a refund. After she brought that up, we asked for a one-night refund, and she reminded us that the contact said there would be no refund after check-in. Since she mentioned the contract, we stated that the contract also didn't mention that we had to tolerate sulfur water. She said that we should expect that smell in this area of all water. We have rented with other companies in this area and have never experienced this in any cabin or hotel up here. Janie said that the rotten egg smell was normal and blamed us for not calling ahead to inquire if it was on well water. Janie then proceeded to hang up on my husband. My husband has been a business owner for 33 years and is dumbfounded at the unprofessionalism of this company. There is a reason they put no refunds in their contracts, poor business values. They hide behind their contract instead of doing the right things for a paying customer. They DO NOT respect their customers and DO NOT deserve any business. Save your money and go elsewhere. UPDATE: To prove they are a shady business, they took down my Facebook review because they knew that they are shady and blocked me. read more

First time renting but will not be our last. We rented picture perfect cabin is Pigeon Forge and had a wonderful stay. The cabin was very clean and had anything you could need. The large walk in shower was wonderful!! read more

Very nice cabin. The deck is over a creek flowing from a waterfall at top of hill in the community. It is so peaceful between the soft wind and trickling sounds of the creek. It is so nice to sit out there and talk. This cabin has been restored and it gives you a feel of how it might have been to have lived in the small mountain community. It has 3 bedrooms, 3 baths, and 3 floors. The first floor is a living room, kitchen/diningroom, and shower/tub bathroom. The second floor has 2 bedrooms and 1 bath. Each bedroom has a king bed and TVs. The 3rd floor is an open loft with a king bed. The 3rd bathroom is located there with sink/commode by themself and double shower head walk in "cave" shower. You do need to realize that this cabin is in Cosby, TN about 20 miles out of Gatlinburg. Once there there trip to and from wasn't that big a deal considering how quiet and restful it was at The General Store. We did have trouble finding it. The Pigeon Forge Welcome Center told us to go all the way through Gatlinburg to Light #3 and turn left. The turn into the cabin community could be a little tricky bc it's a tight turn. I'd be sure to get there before dark because it might be hard to find. Cosby had several stores for supplies. Dollar Store being one. Also there is a big apple orchard located there that had a restaurant. We did eat there and it was good. The fried apple pies were awesome. If you want a place to hang out, rest, and clear your mind this is the place. We'd stay again. Because it is a new listing there are some additions that could make it easier like a place to hang clothes. A place to put shampoo, body wash, etc to make it easier for access. The WiFi is usually good but signal strength is poor, often resulting in a SOS mode where your WiFi/signal strength shows up on your phone. We did have a bear sighting one cabin up from us while we were there. read more

We had originally scheduled a stay here for our honeymoon in October. In September (we paid in full btw), my soon to be husband started getting sick. 13 days before our wedding, he ended up on a ventilator in the ICU with a very rare blood disorder. (I have documented proof.) My sister and I both called Bear Camp immediately to see if there was any way that they could work with us since we didn't want to lose $1300. I wasn't asking for our money back, just maybe a reschedule possibly? Or something. They wouldn't even discuss it with me (when I originally called) or my sister. They were EXTREMELY rude and unkind about it. They said I should've gotten travel insurance (which was $300 by the way). Lesson learned. Today - 10/19/22 - they called to see how our stay was going. KNOWING MY soon to be husband is/was in the ICU. I refused to cancel the cabin entirely so they couldn't "rerent it" to make double the money. My sister called to see WHY they called today and Jennifer was fumbling all over herself. I WILL NEVER ever stay here and I will TELL EVERYONE I know how this was handled. I understand October is a very busy time of year but they easily could have rerented this cabin and at least refunded half our money or rescheduled. This is/was the last thing we needed to worry about and I'm STUNNED they called to "check in" after the several calls we had with them. read more

Great Cabin! Very clean.. only reason for not giving 5 stars is mattresses and box springs needs replacing.. not very comfortable and the theater room was kind of a let down. Did have a problem with the satellite TV not working. Was not fixed during stay but was given free attractions tickets due to this. Would stay again.. read more

Chose this place for our family vacation and the customer service was poor. Overall they were not accommodating and informative. When checking in they gave us some printed out directions to our cabin and pretty much a good luck cause gps won't work in the mountains. It took us 2 hours to find our cabin. I suggest a management team member escort families to their destination. There were a couple other encounters but they had already set a bad tone. Didn't feel very welcoming read more
