We had such a great time during our stay and the cabin was everything we had hoped for. The kids loved the hot tub and the kitchen was well equipped to prepare just about anything. Everything was working and tidy. I don't know about the upstairs bedroom (the boys seemed to sleep just fine), but the downstairs bedroom mattress could use an upgrade. We're not large people and we sank so low into it, it was hard to sit up! Other than that, I would highly recommend. Proximity to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg is fantastic. We loved it. Oh, don't take the warning to lock your car doors lightly. Our son drove his jeep up and didn't lock it and a bear broke in and got all his snacks. Miraculously it didn't destroy the vehicle, but it was a muddy mess!

Great cabin at a reasonable price

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The Buddy Bear cabin was great for the price. It was in a gated community with a pool available. The pool table and hot tub were a great addition to our vacation. it was clean and large for our needs. We received great customer service from Aunt Bugs and will book with them again for our next vacation to TN.

Best place Ever!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This was our first time staying in a rental and will do it again! It was awesome! We have 4 children and there was plenty of space! We were extremely happy. Only 2 veru small things, we feel could have been done...clean the awesome windows inside and out and the sectional couch did not hook together so it constantly slid apart. But truly it was awesome and we loved it!!

Wonderful Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was very clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was nice overall. My family had a great time in the mountains. I personally would have loved to be higher in the mountains to get a better view. We did drive up higher in the community to get a nice background to take some pictures. There were no major complaints...just some blinds were missing from the window and back doors. The property was close to everything. I will definitely consider staying again.

Recent Camping Experience

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We had a wonderful experience at this cabin. The cabin needs some updating as the beds, furniture and appliances are very old. The beds really need replaced. They are old and very uncomfortable. However, the cabin was very nice and we loved it. I would stay here again without a second thought. It was very private even though there is a cabin on both sides. They are offset, so you have privacy. The hottub was really nice. We loved this cabin overall, and I would highly recommend it. Just needs those updates, especially the beds.

Quick Getaway

We came into town for a quick getaway. The cabin was about as expected. However the bed in the master is hard as a rock, and the pillows were thin, so didn't get very restful sleep. The hot tub was very slippery due to it being dirty, so it could use a freshen up. The location of the cabin is perfect as we love Sherwood forest and how close it is to Pigeon Forge and how easily accessible it is.

This property was in a great location and would have been great except for the cleanliness of the house and the outside yard area. In the yard were broken styrofoam containers, plastic bags still with contents, paper, a Christmas wreath, a broken deck chest, the lower deck was dilapidated and roped off...just trashy. The upper deck was decent but with cobwebs all over. Inside the house was generally clean but with areas clearly not well taken care of. The bathrooms, floors and drains specifically, were not clean at all. There were also cobwebs overhead in most rooms. Unfortunately, there was a rain storm that caused a “freak occurrence” leak onto one of the beds, for which we got an apology (gee, thanks). It was icing on the cake that the replacement linens and blankets were worn and stained (or dirty!)... We’re regulars to the area, and this is the worst cabin experience any of my party can remember. We will not be patrons of Aunt Bugs Cabin Rentals again.

Perfect get away!

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The cabin was perfect for our little group. The code to the gate did not work though. luckily someone came out of the gate and we were ale to get in and get the correct code. Also, the hot tub didn't work when we first got there, we had to turn the breaker off then on but we got it turned on almost as soon as we got there.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We were happy with this cabin, the pictures and description on VRBO was very accurate, no surprises when we arrived. I would caution that there is parking for only one car and there is no outdoor space for a firepit. Nice place to stay when visiting Pigeon Forge.

ok for the price

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was more than happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful cabin but bad beds.The hilled road up to the cabin was not bad. The pool is just around the corner the cabin is super close to the attractions in pigeon forge. When we got there it just looked like it needed deep cleaned like webs in the ceiling and dirty upstairs room fan. The pool table was nice. The hot tub was amazing! But one very bad thing was the beds they were so uncomfortable. The sleeper sofa would be good for kids only. Kitchen was nice with the disher washer and the fridge had an icemaker. In all it was good for the money.
