Guest Reviews
Bethany Peltz
We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to Smoky Vista Lodge. We had 11 adults and an infant and there was plenty of room to spread out. The views were spectacular, even though it was cloudy and rainy for a lot of our time there. We also had 2 visits from a mama bear and her 3 cubs which was an amazing experience!
The location was great, only about 10 minutes from Gatlinburg, but it felt secluded and quiet, especially when sitting on one of the many decks.

Good stay

This was my first time renting from Bear Camp Cabins. The check-in notification was delivered right on time and the cabin (Smoky Vista Lodge) was everything I expected. The staff I interacted with were very professional. The cabin was very clean and exactly as pictured in the listing. Our group size was 14 and there was ample room for everyone. The kitchen was well stocked and there was plenty of seating in the dining are for our large group. Shortly after our check-in, we had a mama bear, and her three cubs serve as a welcoming committee. What a beautiful and unexpected experience!! The mountain view from the rear deck is absolutely gorgeous!! Would definitely stay here again and recommend this cabin to anyone who wants to be close to town but retreat to the quiet and beauty of nature.

This cabin was awesome! We had 12 adults and 2 babies. There was plenty of space for everyone to be comfortable! Dinners were so nice at the big kitchen table, enough space for everyone to have a seat. The views were absolutely beautiful! You really can’t get a better Mountain View than this cabin!

Beautiful little cottage. Updated beautifully. Clean and just far enough away to get away from it all. Not a bad drive into Gatlinburg.
Kourtney Fitch
We vacation with 10-12 people every year, so we were very excited when Bear Camp Cabins opened a big cabin for all of us to enjoy! Our experience with Bear Camp Cabins is always amazing. Thank you for taking care of your cabins and having excellent customer service!

The cottage was well maintained and the perfect size for two adults. The hot tub was a bonus and was very relaxing after visiting the shops in the quaint town of Gatlinburg.
