Bear Necessity

Checked out

- Posted: 1/8/2025

Beautiful cabin, awesome location! Very clean and they even called to check on us and make sure we got in ok! Had everything we needed. If you have a big truck the driveway is tight but would recommend even with a big vehicle like our 2500. We were able to get in and out with no issues which is sometimes hard to find on a mountain stay. Also, easy to find and the addresses are well marked.

Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you had a great experience at our cabin and that everything was to your liking. We're glad the driveway was manageable, even with your larger vehicle. It's great that the cabin was well-equipped and that the location was perfect for your needs. We truly appreciate your feedback and are grateful for your recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

Had a great time in a wonderful cabin, quiet and peaceful. Great getaway from the hustle and bustle of Gatlinburg proper. Everything was nice and clean and the bed was great to sleep on, and the living room furniture was nice and comfortable. Well apportioned kitchen. Would definitely stay there again!

Stay went well. Out town a little bit but not too far from all the action. All was great. Just wish there were a walking/running trail to continue on that’s on the back side of the pond.

- Posted: 8/27/2024

We couldn't have been more happy with the cabin we stayed in. It was very clean and quiet. It had everything we needed for our stay. The communication from Stonybrook staff was great before and during our stay. I would HIGHLY recommend using Stonybrook again to anyone who asked. We'll be back again!!

Good cabin for a little getaway

- Posted: 12/22/2023

We enjoyed our stay but the shower’s water pressure was weak and the temperature fluctuated frequently from warm to hot to colder. The tub is unattractive and would benefit from an update. Other than that, we loved it!

- Posted: 12/15/2023

The cabin was perfect for our family of 4. It was 20 min from downtown Gatlinburg and located in a peaceful area surrounded by nature with a view of the Smokey Mountains.

- Posted: 11/26/2023

Great location, was 30 mins away from Gatlinburg and pigeon forge!!

- Posted: 11/11/2023

The cabin was great! Only thing needed would be a lamp downstairs and maybe a couple of cozy throw blankets.

- Posted: 11/3/2023

Great

Cabin was excellent. It was a surprise for my girlfriend and she was taken away from the moment we drove up and then she saw the inside of the cabin and was talen away. The details in the cabin were so well thought out. Everything was perfect. Beautiful balcony view. Hot tob was perfect. The area felt extremely safe the grounds were pristine. We adventured up the road and found more amazing cabins and even a reception area. I would highly recommend and go back.

- Posted: 6/24/2023

I loved the cabin. It was cozy, peaceful, and remote into the woods. I enjoyed it being close to attractions.

I wish everything was this easy and pleasant. Very courteous and responsive through phone and email. The ease of making reservations to the ease of texting me when the cabin was ready. The cabin was ready on time, CLEAN and stocked with the basic necessities including kitchen essentials. It was a great experience and I highly recommend Stony Brook Cabins.

I've booked through Stony Brook 5 times now and the ease of the check-in/out is a big reason why I'll be back. The process is simple, the cabins are very clean, and the locations are secluded enough for a romantic weekend getaway.

We had a great experience! The cabin was delightful and the check-in-and check-out experience was super easy.

- Posted: 9/16/2022

We had a great stay. The drive up from the main road wasn't bad at all. Stony Brooks staff checked on us and we're very pleasant. This cabin is located east of Gatlinburg. It worked out well for us because the zip lining and white water rafting we experienced were also east of Gatlinburg.

- Posted: 9/9/2022

Very nice experience. Our first cabin rental…definitely would do it again. Attention to details was paramount

- Posted: 8/5/2022

We loved our stay at your cabin! Everything was so clean and we loved the secluded location within the trees.

- Posted: 5/15/2022

The cabin was beautifully renovated and clean as a pin. Contact from the office during our stay was unobtrusive and reassuring. It was a wonderful visit and we couldn't be more pleased.

- Posted: 4/29/2022

I liked that they gave Courtesy calls from beginning to end. The cabin was nice and clean. Besides the normal things you would need to bring, the cabin had the basic items you needed. Even had washer and dryer along with extra blankets and a fire escape ladder in one of the drawers. We loved how it was by the water. Very relaxing and not too close to the other nearby cabins.

- Posted: 4/18/2022

Nice location! Beautiful cabin with great views! Very cozy and nicely decorated!

We had an amazing time staying at the Bear Necessities cabin! Everything was absolutely spotless, and it was such a welcoming and cozy space to stay. We especially appreciated the thoughtful anniversary card that was signed by all of your staff, and the lovely bear figurine in honor of our anniversary that was waiting for us when we arrived. It truly made our stay special. Thank you for that personal touch. In advance of our arrival, I also appreciated all the helpful details in your messages, and the phone call before our stay. I also appreciated the call after we arrived to check and make sure everything was in good order. We will definitely be booking with you all again for future visits!

- Posted: 4/18/2021

Peacefully away from Gatlinburg with close access to Gatlinburg and PigeonForge. Great way to relax, enjoy, then go for a moonshine tasting. Bring supplies like paper towels, coffee filters/coffee, and toilet paper like they tell you to!

- Posted: 4/2/2021

Stony Brook is top of the line, from the reservation through the checkout! I would highly recommend using them to anyone.

Reservation and check in were easy. The cabin was comfortable but having the bedroom and bath on different floors is not a good thing. Needs stairway lighting do that getting up at night is not a safety issue.
