Really cute cabin!! Very clean, check process was seamless. The property was mostly as advertised. The only thing I wished that there would have been mixing bowls and bowls with lids for food storage. The back porch is pretty private, considering that these cabins are pretty close together, we like that very much.If you’re looking for a nice clean place to sleep and enjoy some time with the family, this is a good go to. I will add that if you’re looking for something a little more private these cabins are fairly close together and there are a lot of of them. Thank you we really enjoyed our stay would highly recommend overall
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you for the great review of Dancing Bear Hideaway. We’re glad you found the cabin clean, enjoyed the easy check-in and private back porch, and had a nice family stay. We appreciate your feedback about the mixing bowls and food storage, and hope to welcome you back.

Overall was a nice cabin. Definitely needed some attention to detail. Living room rug was a tripping hazard as one of the edges was permanently rolled up and wouldn’t stay flat to the floor. Mattresses I think are original to the settlement of the town. They were bad bad and need replacement desperately. Cabin was clean and minimal. Had the basics but kinda empty and not homey. The surrounding cabins in the resort definitely have a little more love and thought put into them. Hot tub was lovely as well as the available resort amenities on the property.
Response from Cabins for You

The original cabin we booked was 78° upon arrival and we turned the AC down two notches as recommended and we came back after dinner and some drinks six hours later to the home then even 1° hotter than it was when we first arrived because the AC was not functioning properly and I reached out to the booking company on Airbnb in the middle of the night and they were great to accommodate us and switch us to another home since the AC was not working properly. They also understood that it was a super big inconvenience, and even though we both had no control over the situation, they did everything they could to help us resolve the issue and even gave us an extra hour for checkout this morning so that we could try to enjoy the amenities that we’re at the new home. Overall I feel like they did their best to reconcile the situation and do what they could to help us in this situation and we will definitely use them again for another stay as both of the homes were gorgeous and well kept.
Response from Cabins for You

Hot tub was incredible! We absolutely loved our stay. ❤️ Unfortunately, it was pretty toasty in the cabin, and although we tried adjusting the temperature, we weren’t able to get it to cool down. We also wished they provided some coffee or bottled water, but other than that, everything was perfectly fine. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend it! ✨
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We’re thrilled to hear you loved the hot tub and had such an enjoyable stay. We’re sorry the cabin temperature was warmer than expected and appreciate you bringing that to our attention. We’ll also keep your suggestions in mind. Thank you for recommending us, and we’d love to welcome you back for another relaxing getaway!

This cabin was perfect for our weekend trip to the Great Smoky Mountains! The hot tub was super relaxing after a day of hiking and the bedrooms were perfect for the group of people we had. Not a negative but keep in mind that they don’t provide much in terms of amenities. We were informed about bringing our own shampoo/body wash, laundry detergent for the provided machines, and that they only provide one towel per guest. We made it work just fine and they gave plenty of advance warning for us to be able to pack those items! We would definitely stay again if back in the Gatlinburg area!
Response from Cabins for You
So glad to hear the cabin fit your Smoky Mountains getaway so perfectly and that the hot tub was the perfect way to unwind after a full day of hiking. We truly appreciate you mentioning the amenities in such a kind way, and we’re glad the advance information helped your group prepare comfortably for the stay. It means a lot that you’d choose us again when visiting Gatlinburg, and we genuinely loved hosting you. We hope to have you back soon thank you
