Bear In Flannel Cabin Hot Tub

★★★☆☆ This cabin was adorable, full of charm, and exactly what we were looking for during our Tennessee getaway! Unfortunately, two issues significantly impacted our stay. A strong sewage/septic odor permeated the bathrooms and bedrooms every night, making sleep unpleasant. We notified the owner, who promptly responded that maintenance had been alerted, but the issue was never resolved. Additionally, the downstairs master suite had the smallest, most uncomfortable bed in the cabin, making restful sleep even more difficult. We genuinely loved the cabin’s character and atmosphere, but comfortable beds and a home free of sewage odors are basic expectations. With these issues addressed, this could easily be a five-star stay. Unfortunately, our experience warrants three stars.

Short notice trip. Was nice and quiet.

We arrived fairly late in the evening, and unfortunately our initial experience with the home wasn’t quite what we expected. The house was very dark when we arrived with no lights left on, and once we started getting settled, we noticed what appeared to be rodent droppings on the beds, floors, and around the corners of the rooms. We also noticed mold along the bottom of the shower curtain, as well as some marks/stains on one of the beds that could use additional cleaning. I do want to mention that the host was very kind, responsive, and apologetic about the situation. She immediately offered to relocate us, which we really appreciated. Unfortunately, because it was already so late and we were traveling with our one-year-old, packing everything back up and relocating at that hour would have been very difficult, so we decided to stay for the night. We definitely didn’t get much sleep because we felt a little uneasy, but I truly appreciated how willing the host was to help.

Cute, rustic cabin in a great secluded spot. Loved sitting on the porch while it rained, so peaceful and serene. A perfect little getaway to relax and unplug.
