Excellent Getaway

The cabin was perfect for a family getaway. We had everything we needed at the cabin and it was only a few minutes from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.

Spring break

Needs a little maintenance (dishwasher, hot tub) but everything functioned as required. Overall a nice stay. We loaded the dishwasher at checkout but 100 miles down the road we realized we may have forgotten to start it.

Wonderful family trip!

We booked this cabin for 5 (4 adults and 1 four year old). The accommodations were perfect, we loved that the upstairs loft had a pool table and Pac-Man. The drive to the cabin was breathtaking; right up the mountain! Check- in was easy with no issues. The view out the back was beautiful. It was a decent drive to the National Park (try to hike early and on the weekdays to avoid the crowds, if possible). Would definitely recommend!

Great view!

The cabin is comfortable. It is a bit far from town and further from Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg than expected. We did enjoy seeing a new area of TN! The cabins are close together, however, all surrounding us were courteous. We uses Xplorie for the courtesy tickets and it was a very easy process. We enjoyed our time!

January 2022 Stay

We had a blast! The cabin is clean and beautiful! The view is breathtaking! The owners are very responsive and nice! We had small little things that needed attention but the owners texted me back asap and fixed the problem! Our Wi-Fi was not working due to an area outage so the owner brought us a personal hotspot to use!

Overall, Very Pleased

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and appreciate the communication we had with the host. The cabin was a bit dusty. And, we were slightly disappointed to find that the jets in the upstairs Jacuzzi didn't work. I just wish we had known that going in. However, it would not have changed out minds about the cabin. Would definitely stay again! :)

Cabin Rental

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was somewhat dirty. I was happy with the location. I was somewhat dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: There were 5 overwhelming air fresheners that we had to place outside for the week to lessen my breathing issues. Had to have the windows cleaned because we couldn’t see out of them. Had to dust under and around tv and mantle. But is was a beautiful place otherwise.

Amazing View

Rating Details: The property manager was more than helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The view was amazing and the cabin was very nice. The beds were not the best and mattresses could use to be replaced. Overall a nice cabin. The bed in the loft would not work for anyone besides a small child and the mattress doesn’t stay on the frame well at all. We ended up having that child sleep on the couch. There was also lots of bay or rodent poop all over the porches that I had to sweep off before we could even step foot on it so the kids would one track it in.

The location was great the view was fantastic we stayed in another cabin before on that street also before that’s why we booked another cabin although they are managed by different companies. This place Was nice a little to much bear decor but our main issue was that there were lots of rugs and not secure on the floor they slid around and I had my 75 yr old father whom has Parkinson’s and he kept tripping And sliding on the rugs and the rug under the dinning room is a bit old so the edges are flipped up slightly and he fell that. The other rugs I moved until we left so that was ok and I did have to clean a little when we got there the table and some dishes that were in the cabinet. Windows where filthy also but I Wasn’t spending my vacation cleaning. I just felt Like I should have not paid the cleaning charge when I had to clean after the last person

Okay but was expecting a little nicer and cleaner

We have been visiting the area just about every year for the past 27 years we were actually married not far from this cabin. This was the first time that we actually rented a cabin. There was five of us in our party plus our small dog. The cabin was ok but not great we had plenty of room it could use a better cleaning there was actually a dirty sock and a little food on one of the couches downstairs and it could use a good dusting and the windows cleaned. The jets in the tub upstairs didn’t work and the heating unit might need to be looked at it cold while we was there but not extremely. It was in the low 30’s at night but the cabin never would get above 67 degrees till on up in the day and the thermostat was set on 70 so it was a little chilly for us. Which I had read the previous reviews and seems others had said about the same thing we just assumed everything had been fixed. I hate to leave a bad review and I’m not saying it was terrible but it could have been better.

Disappointing

Cabin is older, lots of damage, scratches everywhere furniture very old and worn. jacuzzi does not work (was told by maintenance "hasn't worked for a while, needs parts") yet picture of it is in the listing. Hot tub was foaming with some kind of soap, someone came to clean it. Everything is very loud, was expecting a quiet restful week but hot tub motor runs all the time, loud, sometimes vibrating the entire cabin. Precariously on second floor balcony, deck shook at one point. Very unsettling. Beds are very old, very squeeky. Pool table is very old, broken. Neighborhood had nothing in walking distance, not even hiking trails. I asked to speak with management about the broken jacuzzi but no one replied. Fireplace is gas. Disappointing rental.

Happy Hallow

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very dissatisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Bear Tracts staff were very helpful. Cabin was clean and stocked well. However the cabin needs some work. My 85 year old mother slept in king bed which headboard on the window side and wind was blowing through on her. She then slept at the foot of the bed to prevent getting sick. A lot of the windows throughout the cabin were drafty the high ones upstairs where I slept when the wind would blow the blinds were moving. The back deck needed some repair and the oven looked old and dirty so we did not cook in the oven while we were there. Some of the cooking pots that were Teflon coated were in real bad shape. We didn’t want to use those so we used the stainless ones that were provided. You also had to watch that first step coming into the cabin on the front porch. It was sunk in to the concrete had to really make sure my mom got in OK and out. All in all we had a good stay, but the cabin needs a few upgrades. Also one of the remotes for the TV had no batteries. The other one that had batteries didn’t work and then the skinny remote for the Samsung TV is the one we had to use in order to watch TV. instructions for the hot tub and the TV need to be updated and reviewed.

Beautiful Cabin and Amazing View

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: We loved our stay at Bear Slide Inn. We were there for 4 nights, starting 11/9/22. Everything was exactly as pictured and described. The cabin was beautifully decorated, clean and had pretty much everything you need, even a wine opener (but no wine glasses) and blow dryer. The views from both floors inside the cabin and on the covered porches was fantastic. April was a pleasure to deal with as we contacted her a few times with questions before our stay and she was very responsive, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed using the hot tub. Just make sure you turn up the temperature a few hours in advance of when you plan to use it. It was so relaxing drinking our morning coffee on the porch and watching the low clouds among the mountains and then slowly disappear as the sun started to filter in. The cabin was located in The Preserve Resort, which is like a small development in the mountains. The roads getting in were all paved and in great shape, but they were narrow, curvy, steep in some places and dark. The Preserve has quite a few cabins so you aren't exactly secluded, but we preferred that as access was easy. The free tickets were fantastic and there really was no catch. We got a free ticket to Dollywood, Anakeesta and zip lining and all we had to do was call. There was no sales pitch or pressure to do anything else. We would definitely recommend Bear Tracts and Bear Slide Inn.

Summer Vacation 2024 for family of 6

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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: The drive into the mountains, the placement of the cabin and the views were so amazing. The community was clean and quiet. The cabin was clean, cool in temperature, and had everything we needed to be comfortable. The game room was so cool, the hot tub was used every night. Only minor inconvenience was the front door code was 10 digits long and the door locked every time it shut. I tried to change the code with directions provided but it didn’t work, not a huge deal.

Bear Slide Inn is great as usual.

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. 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 have been staying in this same cabin for at least 11 years now. The cabin is always clean and ready when we get there. This is the first stay with Bear Tracts as the management and they performed well Their last company "VACASA" was horrible even though the cabin was great. I believe they have turned a corner with this new company. The only negative was that never before had we had issues with storage. All closets and dressers were completely full with cabin items. The master closet was locked from access. This forced us to live out of a suitcase and nowhere to hang clothes up the entire stay. Never before was this a problem and as I said we have been staying in this same unit over a decade. Having to lay clothes all over which needed to hang and leave items in suitcase was not what we expected. If you plan on renting here just be aware of the storage issue. I would still come here but pack differently in anticipation of this.
