We had a great time!! The cabin was absolutely beautiful! Spacious and comfortable. Warm and cozy. Just wonderful! The only slight issue we had was the pool was a little chilly but it was chilly outside too. So I don't know if that was the reason or what. But other than that, it was perfect! We hope to stay again sometime. Thank you!!

We enjoyed everything about our stay at the Bear and Buck! Great location, and a comfortable, beautiful home overall. The kids loved the pool and their favorite was the movie room. All the amenities are just what you need for your stay. The linens included help you to be able to pack less. The day we arrived, there were high winds and a tree had fallen across the street. However, a local neighbor came quickly to cut it before we could even call Cabins USA. We would definitely return to this home again!

The only suggestion would be for checking the light bulbs throughout the house as many were dim/blew out during our stay. We also would recommend the owners consider replenishing the pots/pans, cooking utensils, and consider purchasing some cookie sheets for cooking biscuits, bacon, etc in the oven. The plastic cups were super smart to have for kids!

This is definitely the most beautiful cabin I've ever stayed in. Very modern and upscale. Appliances are top notch.
We stayed for 5 nights.
A few tips: The water pressure is poor. Plumbing became an issue daily. Toilets wouldn't flush. This may not be the fault of the management.
The cabin did not have many options for food storage/ serve ware. We had to go buy a casserole dish.
The area by the gas grill is poorly lit. Hard to see your food cooking after dark.
You may need extra paper towels, toilet paper, trash bags if you stay longer than a few nights. We did.
This is still the most beautiful cabin I've ever stayed in. If you want modern luxury, this is it!

Guest Comments:
Very nice with great features. Was wonderful to find a Christmas Tree up and waiting for us.
Nicely decorated.
There were a few issues with power just kicking off several times not sure if this was a local issue or something with the house.
The heat was difficult to figure out and it was necessary to run fireplaces to keep it warm. The living room area was very drafty around the windows and the lower level activity and bunk room was very cold.
The upstairs master room jet tub did not work.
The kitchen and dining had plenty of seating and was well lit. A few things that were a challenge were the size of pans. The frying pans for the occupancy of 11 was not sufficient. There were plenty of items to measureing implements but strangely no mixer for something like mashed potatoes.
We got snow the last night and were then stranded. Everyone around us was in the same situation. The ice was terrible no one could get out to leave and no one could get in including the cleaners. People actually totalled their cars and were piled up so they were blocking anyone from getting out if they could. A plan of rock salt would have been a simple fix when it started to snow and saved alot of people agony.
The cabin is lovely and has great features. A winter visit wouldnt be considered again for me but the right visitors will find it very accomidating.

The only problem was we ran out of trash containers. I reported the problem and the representative I spoke to said they would send someone out to empty our trash receptacles.I apologize for leaving trash bags in the cabin.

The place was beautiful and we enjoyed our stay. However, some things need improvement, first the beds are very hard and need toppers to soften it. All six adults felt the same about the beds. Second, we rented it so the kids could swim in the pool but it was way too cold. We called and someone came out the very next morning to turn up the heat but it NEVER warmed up. Someone needs to check to see if the pool heater is broken. Unfortunately, we couldn't use the pool. The theatre room was a huge hit we all enjoyed it very much. Even with the hard beds and an unusable pool we still had a wonderful vacation.

Excellent place beautiful scenery. The kids loved the pool and down stairs move theater. Its within a 15 minute drive to Pigeon Forge. The cabin is back in the woods you don't see or hear anyone around. We had a problem with a thermostat one evening and first thing the next morning someone was there to fix it. It was just a wonderful experience and the company is excellent to work with. Definitely will be renting from them again.

The cabin was amazing. We all enjoyed the indoor pool and the outdoor hot tub. My personal favorite was the theater room. The cabin was spacious and allowed all 10 of us to cook, eat and be together without being crowded, The Cabins USA staff was very friendly and helpful. We needed one more dining room chair which they brought immediately. They were always there if we had any questions no matter how trivial. We were so very lucky to have a mama black bear and 3 baby cubs walk right past our front yard, behind our cars and linger in the woods around the side of our cabin. Saturday night my grandchildren got the thrill of seeing fire flies for the first time. I realize that Cabins USA may not have made all that happen, but they probably would have tired if I'd asked. I would definitely use them again. It was the perfect 50th wedding anniversary celebration.

The cabin was great and we really enjoyed our stay. A few minor things that needed attention, just to keep it great:

Hot tub doesn't heat up
Foam cup holder in hot tub is broken
Basement sliding door to hot tub porch doesn't actually latch to lock
Pool room shower inner glass door is out of its track and therefore won't close
Door knobs need tightening...some are really loose
Weeds near back of cabin need cut...growing up and in the lower porch near hot tub
Blinds in downstairs, pool table room, is not installed...blinds are free standing in the theater room

I called about the hot tub not heating and was told a technician would come out there, but the technician never showed, so that is my only real complaint.

Again, these are really minor things to hopefully help keep it nice.

Had an amazing stay at The Bear and Buck. Cabin was very clean minus the hot tub, it could've used a little TLC but nothing major. Master bedroom bed was extremely comfortable! Would definitely stay here again!

It was a great cabin. There was plenty of room for the 11 people in my family. The pool and hot tub were perfect. We loved the theater room. The guys enjoyed playing their xbox on the big screen.

This is a great cabin for the price. The theatre wouldn't work for us (roku or the DVD player) but other than that it was a great stay. I would definitely recommend this cabin.

The Bear & Buck is a fabulous cabin. It has everything you need for a nice get away and is only 15 min. From downtown Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg is 30 min away. The cabin is secluded and private. The only downfall is there is no spectacular view of the mountains, but the cabin itself makes up for it.

We enjoyed our stay and mostly stayed at the cabin due to the corona virus. The children enjoyed the pool and theater room. It's hard to get all families together anymore due to conflicting schedules but we finally had the opportunity as a family with grandchildren. These are the moments that are the BEST! Thank you.

The cabin was beautiful and we absolutely loved it. I like the location other houses were not that close. It was only a 15-minute Drive to town. I would suggest if you have a large group to bring your own skillet since the skillet in the cabinet was small. Other than that everything was provided for you. We had a wonderful time. Thank you.

This cabin is brand new and beautifully decorated and very accommodating to our wants. A perfect place for families and or friends. Our kids loved it too. We were able to make most of our meals here and enjoyed the quiet relaxation we received after our fun adventurous afternoons. The location was perfect; neighbors were a good distance away and it was a short drive to everywhere we wanted to go. We booked it going off the descriptions alone because pictures weren't available at the time which was a little scary but we were very pleased. The express check in and out were appreciated. Unfortunately the cleanliness wasn't a perfect score but the cleaning staff was rushed most likely due to the very busy time we were there and the place wasn't ready when we showed up an hour past our check in time. I felt like a few things were overlooked that hopefully wouldn't normally be. But we would definitely book it again. Thank you for sharing this beautiful property with us.

First time user of cabins USA! We stayed at the bear and buck and had a very nice employee help me out with my booking process she even gave me her direct extension for any questions I had. She responded very quickly and answered all my questions I had! We booked this property with no pictures but were told it was a brand new build! Before we arrived there was pictures up and everything was as it showed in the pictures! Absolutely beautiful cabin. It all smells brand new! Our family really enjoyed it! There was some trash in the woods that could be cleaned up as that is not what you want to see when sitting enjoying the great wooded view! And the steps had hair and dust on them! Its a huge cabin with lots to clean so overall it was very clean! The owner took time to have family games and puzzles in a cabinet and books to read! Which was an added bonus! It has all the cooking things one would need! Coffee pot,toaster and blender for small appliances all the pans and utensils you need for cooking. And the gas grill was great to have! If you book this cabin I think you will be very happy with it!

This property was fantastic. Brand new and spotless. A very well-stocked kitchen, even the random things. The bathrooms and bedroom are huge, and very comfortable memory foam mattresses. The pool was a big plus for the kids and the hot tub for adults. Great wifi for everyone to pop into work and school as needed. The theater room was a great place to watch tv or a movie, and with Hulu we didn't have to have an account... just tolerate a few commercials which wasn't a big deal. The couch was really pretty but wasn't super comfortable, not horrible but not great for larger families. Someone always had to sit in the chairs at the kitchen table. We loved this cabin and all it's extras. I don't know why they still haven't posted pictures of it yet.
