GUEST ACCESS

Guests have access to entire cabin except locked owner closet on main floor and furnace closet on upper floor.

Guests have free access to the beautiful seasonal swimming pool (open May-Sept.) and year-round catch & release pond. Both are located at Honeysuckle Meadows Pool & Deli at bottom of the mountain (3 miles from cabin).
Please note: this is NOT the mountaintop pool in the Preserve Resort. The mountaintop pool is operated by a separate company and are not part of the Preserve Resort HOA. We are not members of that facility, so access is not included with your stay.


NO REFUNDS for weather events, natural disasters, power outages, or other things that are beyond our control. Guests are encouraged to purchase travel insurance for coverage.


CRITTERS: We subscribe to professional pest control services. However, please keep in mind that the cabin is in the mountains. So in and around the cabin, guests can expect to encounter critters, including but not limited to: ants, bees, spiders, moths, millipedes, ladybugs, and rodents.


MORE ON LADYBUGS: Fall/Winter is ladybug season in the Smokies. These little buggers are attracted to heat, meaning your cabin and every other one out there that is warm! They may swarm to the cabin and you'll probably see them alive/dead on windowsills, in vents, etc. Rest assured that your cabin has regular pest control and is professionally cleaned, including bug removal, before and after your stay. However, these bugs may come back right away and unfortunately there is no way to prevent it until the season passes.


NEIGHBORHOOD

Polaris Bear Cabin is located in the Preserve Resort, a premium cabin resort in the East Tennessee side of the Smoky Mountains. Uphill of idyllic Wears Valley, the resort is perched high on a ridge top in the mountains surrounding Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Sevierville and Townsend. For these reasons, the resort offers some of the most spectacular views in the Smoky Mountains.

The Preserve Resort is also conveniently situated, only about 10 minutes to the Line Springs Road entrance of the Great Smoky Mountains National Park. It is approximately 25 minutes to action-packed Pigeon Forge, and 45 minutes to McGhee Tyson Airport (TYS) near Knoxville. It is close enough to all the stuff to do in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge but not in the middle of it all.


DRIVING AND PARKING

We have a wide paved street and plenty of level parking space in front of the cabin. No need for difficult parking maneuvers.

Although roads from Wears Valley Road uphill to the Preserve Resort are paved, they are winding and hilly as is the case for most mountain resorts in the area. If you're not used to mountain driving, it will take some time to get used to. Drive more slowly, especially when it's dark.

During most part of the year, a Prius can make it up here, but more powerful vehicles would handle the roads easier.

In winter, we sometimes get inclement weathers, and roads may become icy or snow-clad. Guests are strongly suggested to drive AWD or 4WD vehicles or use snow chains. It is guests' responsibility to check weather before arriving.


SECURITY CAMERAS

For safety and security purposes, there are three visible, motion-activated, exterior video- and audio-recording cameras at the property: one outside of front door facing entrance porch; one on building front facing parking area; one below lower balcony covering crawl space door and HVAC outdoor units.
