Bearskin Ridge....

Here's what some of our past guests have said...

Guest City/State Date Comment
Marty, Kristie, Seth, Hanna & Nick   4/19/08 Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful cabin with us.  We have had many vacations but this is the best.  The game room was a big hit.  We all stayed up there till midnight or later playing pool.  The grill was wonderful and the outdoors & view was great.  We will definitely be returning very soon.  Hopefully by fall.  The cabin is beautiful.  I will be telling people this is where they need to stay.  Thank you for a wonderful time.
David, Angie, Josh & Bradley Carnesville, GA 4/6/08 1st time we have stayed in a cabin and we loved it!  What a beautiful cabin.  It truly felt like a home.  The boys loved the game room & want to come back soon, as do I and my husband.  I will be sure to look for this cabin again on our next trip.  Thanks for sharing with us.
Brad, Nance, Lars & Nels Delaware, OH 3/23/08 This was our 3rd time to the Smoky Mtns & 1st time staying in a cabin.  We hit the jackpot here!  The weather was all over the place.  Our 1st full day here we had snow.  Today was sunny and in the upper 60's.  Ober Gatlinburg was super.  Everyone liked the views and the Alpine Sled.  We hiked to Grotto Falls & plan to go farther next time....maybe Rainbow Falls.  Loved the cabin & location!  We'll definitely be back.
Nick & Katrina Dumas, MS 3/9/08 This was our first vacation and it turned out to be the most memorable times in our lives!  This game room was a great feature but the huge bed won me over!  We really enjoyed Wonderworks and Ober Gatlinburg!  The shops along the Parkway was a lot of fun as well as Ripley Haunted Adventure.  But for me the best part about the whole trip was that we had an  opportunity to spend a great week with my cousins & best friends Kenneth & Tiffany!
Randall, Patsy & Andrew   2/24/08 We had a great time.  We enjoyed the game room.  We hope to stay again soon.
Teresa, Tommy, Ricky & Brandy Vale, NC 2/15/08 We had a great time here.  It was really nice here.  We enjoyed the hot tub and the pool table.  We come up about this time every year for my best friends birthday which is Teresa.  We really enjoyed walking through Gatlinburg.  The lights at night are beautiful!!!  We had a awesome time...  Great Shopping, Great Views, Great Place!!!  PS For the next people that rent this cabin have an awesome time.
Skylar, Teresa, Robbie, Angela, Ronnie Joe & Ashley Jonesborough, TN 12/31/08 What a great way to spend time and bring in the New Year with family at this "home away from home."  The cabin is beautifully decorated with a cabin in the mountains theme, great game room, hot tub, internet, fireplace, relaxing and cozy.  It started snowing last night which made or stay even better watching it snow in the mountains.  The cabin is more beautiful in real life than it is on the web sites.  All we needed was our food, drinks, clothes and personal items, everything else is here or just a few minutes away.  This place is the cleanest, nicest cabin we have ever stayed in in.  We hope to come back and stay here longer.  We will tell our friends about it.  Thanks, Debbie & Dennis for making our stay in your "home away from home" awesome!  Happy New Year to Everyone!!!  2008
Tony, Rhonda, Whitney & Caleb Springville, AL 12/26/08 We had a wonderful time!  We have been coming here the week after Christmas for 22 years and this is the best cabin yet!  We loved the Christmas decorations, that was a first and quite pleasant.  Enjoyed the extra cable channels and well as the WI-FI.  Hope all who stay make some wonderful memories as we always do!  For a good steak, we always enjoy the Alamo and who can resist a hot cup of coffee and a walk downtown?  Try at Coffee & Company.  Again, thanks for opening up your vacation home to us!
Alan, Susan, Dylan, Austin & Madison Diamondhead, MS 12/19/08 Thank you for a wonderful place to vacation!  We all thoroughly enjoyed the game room, hot tub and everything else this cabin provides.  The distance was close to everything we had planned to do.  Although we had hoped for snow, we did find it on the ski slopes--great time!  We also loved Dollywood--beautiful lights!  Dixie Stampede was fun, although our seats weren't the best (leave the preshow a few minutes early to get good ones--your section is reserved, but not the seats).  Downtown Gatlinburg was so pretty at night--it was enjoyable just to walk around.  The kids liked Ripley's Haunted Museum.  The Apple Barn is very nice too.  Than you for having a Christmas tree for us--it was like being home.  The view is so pretty--we loved seeing God's handiwork!  Thanks again--God bless you!
Tim & Tonya South Point, OH 12/3/08 We had such a wonderful time here and the cabin feels like our "home away from home!!"  It is absolutely darling!  I wish you could come home with me with your sense of decorating and give me some tips!  The view is stunning & we got to see the parade which was an amazing surprise.  Thank you for the memories.  We will definitely request this cabin again nest year!  PS  We loved the game room!
Team Taylor--Cyndi, Joshua, Miles (3), Xander (1 1/2) & Laith (2 mo)   11/29/08 Had a great time!  Plan to come back.  Plenty of room for all of us.  Though I think we all could have slept in one of the beds!!  The highlights were Ripley's Aquarium.  Beautiful and fun.  Geared towards children with nursing mom's stations which is fantastic and rare.  The Veranda Restaurant Buffet there was great and cheap.  (All 5 ate for $25 + tip)  We also ate at LaCarreta in Historic National Park Lane (I think).  It was very tasty and reasonably priced.  We really loved this.  It was our 1st family vacation since our oldest was 1 yr old.  Thank you for keeping your home so updated.  I felt like I was back home but with a much nicer view.
Debbie, Heather, Janice & Benjamin Nashville, TN 11/17/07 We LOVED the beautiful cabin!!!  It is so beautifully decorated.  We really enjoyed the game room and hot tub.  So very fun and very relaxing.  We will definitely be back.  We really enjoyed our stay.  Hope to be back very soon.  PS The view from the deck is beautiful.
Steve, Tanya, Katie & Tyler Jasper, AL 11/7/07 We absolutely LOVED the cabin & everything in it!  Cades Cove--awesome.  WonderWorks--great day with the kids!!  Laurel Falls--Beautiful hike in the woods.  Smoky Mtn Brewery--Great food & beer!  We will definitely be back to Bearskin Ridge!!
John, Sandy, Joey & Sean East Canton, OH 11/1/07 We have been visiting Gatlinburg for 14 years.  We were excited to stay in a home like environment.  We enjoyed playing games and pool.  We relaxed in the hot tub and enjoyed the view while sitting on the porch.  Everything was perfect!  We really enjoyed our stay.  We look forward to staying again.  thanks for adding to our Gatlinburg memories.
Jim, Tonya, Sam & Mike & Arlene Bloomington, IL & Decatur, IL 10/26/07 What a wonderful vacation!  The cabin was awesome.  We spent eventful days in town & relaxing evening in the cabin.  We love the area.  This is our 2nd visit here.  The fact that this cabin is close yet removed from the action is great.  Recommendations:  1.  Ripley's Aquarium--Awesome!  2.  Cades Cove--Best time ever!  Well worth the time.  Make sure to get out of your car & do the short trails to the outskirt cabins--more opportunity to see wildlife.  3.  Dixie Stampede--Great show!  4.  Sunset @ Clingmans Dome Trail--Was cold at the top, but even a beautiful view at sunset from the parking lot!  These were just some of our favorite things!  Wish we had more time here!  :)
Katie & Jerry Hamilton, OH 9/30/07 We had a great time staying here at the cabin.  It is awesome!  Decorated very nicely.  Feels just like home.  Love the view.  We got some really great pictures.  Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge was a lot of fun!  We saw some really great shows.  Loved the BENGAL tiger at the Magic Show.  Had lots of fun playing the video games and pool!  Almost beat Jerry every time. :)  We were here on our Honeymoon and also was here for my birthday.  Got a lot of really cool souvenirs to take home with us.  We had a blast.  We will always remember this week.  We would love to come back again sometime for vacation.  Maybe sometime we can see how your other cabins are.  Hope to see you soon!  Thank you so much for letting us stay here for our Honeymoon!  It means so much and we will never forget it!  We love how you have the cabin decorated.  It is really nice and very clean.  :)  
Paul & Larhonda Nashville, TN 9/28/07 What a wonderful home.  Really enjoyed the WiFi & the game area.  Obviously Larhonda wants everyone to know she beat Paul @ all video games.  The closeness to Gatlinburg was wonderful while also being off the beaten path.  Can't wait for our next trip to your home.
Robert, Justin & Judy Antioch, TN 9/23/07 What a wonderful place to stay with my son & girlfriend.  We thoroughly enjoyed it and hope to come back soon.  Everything was so clean!  What a pleasure.  Thanks for sharing such a beautiful home with us.
Randy  & Marsha, Andrew, Caroline, Hannah & Blake Boiling Springs, SC 9/21/07 We've been coming back to Gatlinburg for several years--now that our kids are older.  We have always stayed in a motel…old, dark, dreary but slept 5.  We stepped out to try a cabin--worried that we were way out in the "boonies".  It was a great surprise to be only minutes from Gatlinburg and civilization for those "forgotten items" at the store.  The cabin is as beautiful in real life as on the web sites.  Coffee in the early morning on the porch gave me my moments with God that I had been craving for a long while:)  The kids loved the game room upstairs....and there was not the constant bickering among the "teens & early 20's" that we usually experience at the motel.  My 19 yr old daughter replied as we head out the door..."Utterly amazing" and she is right!  We will be back!
Andrew & Hannah Boiling Springs, SC 9/21/07 Andrew & Hannah were here!  We enjoyed our stay.  We will be back when we get married! :)
Jeramie & Amy Woodville, WI 8/25/07 Thank you so much for letting us stay at your beautiful home!  We had a wonderful time with our friends and a great time in the park!!  We saw deer, bear and a lot of other critters too!  Thanks again!
Josh & Annette Tampa, FL 8/24/07 Where do we begin?  Your home is lovely…let's start there.  It was a pleasure to come back to everyday following our great adventures.  Our adventures, you ask?  If you turn the page I shall go on in some detail, our friends left a day before us.  We recommend hiking:  1…Alum Cave Bluffs & Arch Rock--but don't stop there!  Keep on going to the top of Mt. LeConte.  Breathtaking view, beautiful & rare flowers & the most intriguing resort in the area.  2...Cades Cove--Bike It!  We saw wildlife extraorindaire...Vistas to feast the eyes & top that off with the 2nd favorite hike to Abrams Falls.  3...If you are a bit daring?!  Do Chimney Tops...Strenuous but short, you won't be disappointed.  The view?  Well, get up there!  4...If you are in for a leg screaming challenge do what we did...bike all of Greenbriar Cove & then hike to Ramsey Cascades.  Worth every muscle ache.  Thanks for the hot tub.  5...Rainbow Falls Trail--moderate hike along the river--rocky, cool & we observed a small bear--200 to 250 pounds.  Gave us a glance & went about his business, not sure what that business may be.  Arts & Crafts shops were neat & little did we know the wildlife dig it too!  That's where we came across a huge bear 800 to 900 pounds maybe.  Scared a few folks, but once discovered he just wanted out of there.  What a treat!  Finally--This cabin--Cozy, Comfy, Nice view, tucked away from the strip, yet a stone's throw away, met all our needs, kept us busy in rainy weather & provided us access to outside world.  We cannot thank you enough for making our stay at another National Park superb.  Can we come again?
Joe & Cara, AJ, Shannon & Abby Burlington, KY & Independence, KY 8/17/07 Great shopping, Great views, Great company…Great place!!
Gerald, Greta & Alex St Louis, MO 8/13/07 Your cabin is beautiful.  We had a great time.  It was so nice to come back to our "home away from home."  After a long day out and about in Gatlinburg or in the National Park it was so nice to have the room for our 2 yr old son to stretch out and relax.  We had a great time and will recommend it to friends & family.
Fosters Ocala, FL 8/8/07 Wonderful time--Great place--was online 2 months before picking this cabin.  Great Choice!
Danny & Margie Franklin, TN 8/7/07 We had a great time.  It was our first time to explore the Smokies.  We had fun hunting for wildlife.  The cabin was comfortable and well laid out.  It was wonderful to relax in the hot tub at the end of a day hiking.
Jason & Kim, Mike & Patty, Brittan & Samantha Elizabethton, TN & Johnson City, TN 8/5/07 We had an excellent time in the cabin.  It was very peaceful & we enjoyed ourselves.  We loved the layout of the cabin.  The game room was awesome.  Everyone had a great time.  Thank you very much for the opportunity to stay here.
The Fleeners Prescott, AZ & Dallas, TX 7/21/07 Are here celebrating Grandma & Grandpa's 40th Wedding Anniversary.  The house is wonderful.  Loved the white water rafting trip.  It was quite an experience.  Loved the local folk art shops & restaurants.  Recommend Ma's Kitchen down the road.  All the sweet comfort's of home--Thanks for sharing yours with us!
Joe Jr., Crystal, Samantha & Kyle Zionsville, IN 7/12/07 This is our second stay here by request with obvious reasons.  We love it's home like atmosphere and it's cleanliness.  We love the Smokies.  We'll be back for our 7th trip!
Roy, Betty & Jessica Concord, NC 6/30/07 Found out the week before we came here that the manufacturing plant where I work is shutting down and I'll have to transfer from the area where we have lived our entire lives to Richmond, VA.  Extremely nice to come back to Bearskin and relax some.  Have really enjoyed the time off.  Thought the video game was a very nice twist, but I am not as good as I was years ago.  Still very pleased with this cabin and as long as we can keep up with who is managing the property, we will continue to come back to Bearskin Ridge.
Mark, Anita, Sarah & Matt So, ILL 6/23/07 Had a great time in your cabin.  Everything a family would want.  Just a short trip to anywhere.  One of the nicest cabins we've stayed in .  We jet down here every couple of years.  Maybe we can stay here again.  We'll tell our friends about it.
Billy & Sara Sidon, MS 6/15/2007 We really enjoyed our stay.  It seemed so much at home here, would love to come back some day & stay longer.  See ya'll next time.
Bobby & Tina Sidon, MS 6/15/2007 We love it!  The kids thought it was "Awesome"!  The cabin made the trip so enjoyable.
Larry & Pam Harrington, DE 6/10/2007 We really enjoyed our stay here.  After riding our motorcycle two days it was nice to sit & relax…  The game room is real nice & the layout of the cabin was great.  We had a couple friends stay & the way the cabin is laid out it was comfortable for us all.  There is a lot to see & maybe someday we will get to see more.  Thanks Debbie & Dennis....we loved it....
Tommy & Patty Long Beach, MS 6/10/2007 We had a marvelous stay here.  The cabin out surpassed our expectations.  We had another couple staying with us in the second bedroom.  The cabin is beautiful as is the scenery.  We would recommend the cabin to all our friends.  The cabin was very comfortable and clean.  Thank you so much.  We did a lot of sight seeing and shops.  Just a wonderful place to spend a vacation.

Kim & Josh Bridgeville, DE 5/20/2007 We have had the most fun here!!  The cabin was great, very clean & comfortable!  We cannot wait to come back.  We did all the shps & attractions which was great!  Next time more fishing & more than just the drive thru scenic routes of the Smoky Mtns!!  There was six of us here & everyone had a great time.
Bob & Judy, Phillip & Maryjane Central City, KY 5/13/2007 We loved the cabin, just like home.  Loved the view.  We will be back.  Game room a neat added treat.

Russell, Jennifer, Riley & Wesley Sparta, TN 2/3/07 We had a wonderful time weekend getaway.  Everything @ Bearskin Ridge was awesome!!  Thanks so much for all the fun!!  Until next time…
Mary Lou, Tony, Jordan & Jason   1/19/07 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Bearskin Ridge!  We will definitely stay again.  The first night we were startled to hear some "critter friends" on the roof.  I guess they were just welcoming us to "The Ridge".  We appreciate the cleanliness of your home.  It means a lot to us.  We hope you have a wonderful year!  Thanks.
Cindy Cleveland, GA 1/6/07 We had so much fun.  The pool room was so cool.  An the hot tub too.  You will love this cabin, hot tub, pool table and TV's.  I am Cindy age 10.
Helen & Lisha Castleberry, AL 12/6/06 Your home is beautiful.  My mother gave me this trip to getaway for a while.  We both have been under a lot of stress.  We really enjoyed staying in your home.  Hope to be back soon.  Thanks.  Loved the pool table and Pac Man.  We had a great time.  Your home is a home away from home.  You did a great job with it.  Hope to come back again real soon.
Randy, Samantha, Carlianne, Hannah, Marilyn, Prentiss & Brandon MS 11/21/06 Your home is beautiful.  We come to Gatlinburg at least twice a year and decided that this, by far, has been our favorite cabin.  We plan on making this our permanent choice of where to stay from now on.  We spent our family Thanksgiving here and it was wonderful.  The cabin was extremely clean, well kept, decorated gorgeous & the hot tub, PacMan game & pool table were thoroughly enjoyed by our children.  (Some of the adults too! :>)  Thanks for the experience!
Colleen, Chris, Ales & Gabrielle Kettering, OH 11/11/06 Your home is lovely!  Kids are waterlogged from the hot tub and our son is a new pool shark!  We are currently looking to build down here.  We really love it THAT MUCH!  Thanks again!
Connie, Susan, Janice, Abby & Melissa GA 11/8/06 We love this cabin & Gatlinburg!  Loved our "Girls trip."  We took our time & did what we wanted to--no guys to complain!  Try the hot tub with the lights off--stars are beautiful!  If you go walking on a trail--take a hiking stick!  The cabin was extremely clean, beautifully decorated, well equipped, loved the PacMan & pool table.  Just didn't have enough time.  We wanted to stay longer but couldn't get away with it!  We will be back!
Marriott   9/15/06 We had a great stay & hope to come back some time.  Thanks.  Go Vols
Heather & April Rome, GA 9/7/06 What can I say--A perfect place to stay for 2 Best Friends to get away.  WE so enjoyed the cabin--the hot tub, pool table & the view was awesome!  We now know where to come to get away from the same ole' rat race.  We'll be back!  XOXO  Go DAWGS!
Asha, Shyam, Rohini & Pallan Virginia 9/3/06 I really do not know the words to describe the place, the cabin & it's location.  It was beyond anything we expected.  We are a family of 4, (self, husband & 2 daughters) aged 23 & 13.  We are from Virginia and we were on our way back to VA after visiting Chattanooga.  We wanted to halt for a night and my main criteria was to have a view of the mountains, sit on a rocking chair & stay in a big cabin.  All of these criteria were met and I must say you have a wonderful taste.  I loved the BEAR theme, especially the bearskin rug on the wall, the center table & side tables.  The house was warm & felt like home.  We did not plan to stay here for longer, but we will surely come back with friends & family.  I would love to walk/hike and visit the local stores.  Keep up the good work & hope you have many more people enjoying the house as we all did.
Aurora, Jason, CJ, Collin, Doug & Peggy Chesterfield, Virginia 8/20/06 We brought our parents down this time.  They were very impressed with everything!  As always Bearskin is our "Home away from Home!"  We are at the Alamo for dinner and Flapjacks for breakfast :) Yummy!  Be back Beary soon!
Jim, Tracy, Jim, Matt & Sarah Frankfort, Illinois 7/29/06 This was our first trip to the Smoky Mountains.  We loved it!  The cabin is beautiful & decorated so nicely.  The kids loved the upstairs playing the arcade games & pool.  My husband & I loved the hot tub!!  Don't go to Rainbow Falls--not worth the 1 1/2 hour hike thru rocky terrains, however you must see Laurel Falls--it is absolutely beautiful.  Wear your swimsuit and watch our for slippery rocks.  On our way back down the trail we saw a bear!  We also recommend White Water Rafting--it's a blast!  Dollywood's Splash Country Water Park is expensive but fun!  Our trip to the Smokies was great & worth the 9 1/2 hour ride!  Thanks for a good time & for sharing your beautiful cabin w/us.  The view was beautiful!  As our daughter kept  saying, "It's a home away from home."  We would definitely recommend this cabin to our friends!  Thanks!
Jimmy, Rochelle, Jay, Eric & Debbie Greensburg, Kentucky 7/24/06 We had a wonderful time!  The cabin was absolutely beautiful.  The game room was definitely a plus for the kids.  We took a day hike to Abram Falls it was really nice and had a great swimming hole.  We saw a BEAR on the hike it was no more than 15 ft from us.  SCARY!  We did lots more and so much more left to do for our next trip here.  Thanks for a great stay.
Jason, Aurora, CJ & Collin Chesterfield, Virginia 7/21/06 We came to visit for the weekend from Chesterfield, VA.  What a wonderful trip!  It is so hard to return to reality of everyday life.  We enjoyed everything here.  The kids loved the pool table, video games, TV & we loved our adult time as well!  The view is so beautiful and the cabin here at Bearskin could not be better even if it was a perfect DREAM.  You have a Beary cozy & comfortable home.  Thank you for sharing it with our family.  We will come back and tell everyone to do the same!  There was so much to do it was hard to try to fit it in a weekend trip.  The Alamo had great steaks (our favorite!)  WonderWorks, Go-karts, Winery, Helicopter Rides...we did it all!  Loved it!  Again, Thank You Beary Much.
Russell, Cynthia, Brooke, Patrick, Paige & Blair Oneonta, Alabama 7/7/06 We had a great weekend!  It was our 13th Wedding Anniversary.  We had to find somewhere to stay that was big enough for us to still have privacy with 4 kids.  The was a great choice!  Upstairs definitely kept the kids busy.  Video games, pool, board games, music & cartoons!  WOW!  Downstairs was very romantic.  Fireplace & hot tub were great!!!  Although it was a short weekend it was well worth the drive.  The kids got to go on stage at the Comedy Barn to help with a magic trick.  They loved it.  Great place for the entire family.  We are planning on driving through Cades Cove on the way home.  Hopefully it will be as beautiful as this cabin.  Bearskin Ridge is a great place to stay.  We didn't see much else because nobody wanted to leave the cabin.  Thanks for the great visit!!! 
Don, Cathy, Brandon & Brian Lake Wales, Florida 6/20/06 We really enjoyed our stay at Bearskin Ridge.  We got a lot of use out of the pool table and jacuzzi.  Also we love the way you decorated the house.  I hope we come stay again.  PS Love the bears
John, Kathleen, Tracey & Alyssa Florida 6/12/06 We had a great time in Tenn.  The cabin is great, warm, homey & decorated w/o nice.  We'll be back again soon.  Headed back to Florida!   We counted 89 deer at Cades Cove! Alyssa
Gregg, Connie, Michael & Christopher Springville, Tennessee 6/3/06 My family and I definitely enjoyed staying at your home.  The décor, amenities and view were beyond expectations.  Your house is both beautiful and warm and made our visit here that much more enjoyable.  Clean Skies.
Melissa, & Alan Michigan 5/18/06 Wow is all I can say!!  These mountains are breathtaking.  We spent 3 days & 4 nights with my husbands sister & her husband and I couldn't have wanted to spend is with anyone else!  The cabin is beautiful, the split level was perfect for 2 couples.  We took advantage of all the amenities you have!  We did visit some great places.  We drove to Cherokee, NC, made a Boyd's Bear, went goofy golfing.  Hillbilly Golf was a blast!  We frequented Pucker's Bar & Grill & ate at a few great restaurants.  Cherokee Grill, The Alamo & Craw Daddies.  Ober Gatlinburg was a bit disappointing but the Salt & Pepper Museum was quite interesting!  All in all, this was an unforgettable trip.  The mountains are ever changing & we never got tired of the view.  Enjoy & Thanks.
Diane, Amanda & Cameron Union Grove, NC 5/14/06 My daughter brought me here for Mother's Day.  It  was great.  The cabin is my dream home.  You have wonderful taste.  We could not have ask for a greater place to stay.  We will be back.  Thanks for sharing your cabin with us.
Terry & Callie Lexington, Kentucky 4/8/06 Well, I enjoyed the cabin.  It made me think of home.  Terry brought me to Gatlinburg to ask me to marry him.  He ask me in front of the waterfall at Hemlock Hills.  I told him…..yes, but he is going to have to get himself together before I say "I do".  Had a great week-end.  I will be back in 2-3 weeks with friends to have a good weekend too.  Later for now but not for long.
Dave & DeAlda  Sharon, Jennifer & Jack Denver, Iowa & Indianapolis Indiana 4/1/06 We came down with our daughter, son-in-law & grandson.  We decided to spend a few days in Gatlinburg & the Smoky Mountains before going to a practice round of the Masters Tournament in August, GA.  We've never been here before and are finding it to be such a treat.  The mountains are incredible.  We are so impressed with Bearskin Ridge.  It is so clean, decorated with such detail & so roomy.  We just love it!  Thank you for sharing your great home.  We would love to come here again.
Tony, Penny, Drick & Dominique Covington, Kentucky 3/25/06 We had a wonderful time here at Bearskin Ridge.  Actually lucked out getting this place.  Our original cabin, the people there extended their stay.  So we were blessed with this gorgeous place.  We loved the pool table, hot tub & king size beds.  We will return next year.
Lisa, Joe, Rhegan, Peggy & Jimmy Tuscaloosa, Alabama 3/18/06 Hello from Tuscaloosa, AL.  Home of the Crimson Tide!  I found this cabin on the internet & we were delighted at it's beauty.  The temp was great outside & so was the hot tub!!  We will definitely stay here again!  Se ya next year.  Roll Tide Roll!
Liz, Aaron, Logan, Beverly & Bob   3/15/06 Thank you for such a great time!  Me and my kids and parents really enjoy the cabin and the view.  It was very relaxing and fun.  We hope to come back again soon.  Our cabin is decorated very pretty.  Thanks again for a great vacation.
Wayne, Eileen, Tom & Pat Panama City, Florida 2/24/06 Greetings from Sunny Florida!  We left home (in the mid 70's) & were delighted to get wonderfully cold!  The place was clean & homey.  Enjoyed downtown Gatlinburg (Pigeon Forge was disappointing.)  Were disappointed that the artists were gone for the season but had a wonderful, relaxing weekend.  Come see us!
Cassie, Kevin, Savannah & Brooklyn   2/16/06 We came to Gatlinburg to get married and everything worked out beautifully.  The cabin was great!  The kids had a great time playing games and in the hot tub.  On the day we got married, 17th, the kids stayed at a hotel so we could be alone.  We really enjoyed the hot tub and playing pool alone!  On the 18th we got a lot of snow and the kids loved it!  First time Brooklyn has ever seen snow.  This is honestly the best place we've ever stayed in.  We will be back, probably every winter.  Everything we needed was right here.  We cooked out on the last night and only had to buy the food.  It was so clean and felt very homey.  All in all we had a wonderful time here.
Lisa & family   2/8/06 The Nor'easter of the year!!  2 foot of snow--no lights, power, the van over the mountain.  Very little food--but we had family and friends.  It's all good.  We loved this place!  So surprised at the accommodations.  Does need more towels and garbage bags.  Over all I will never rent a hotel room again.  This will be my home away from home.  Management Tip:    If you need additional towels or trash bags please just call the management office for assistance.  A starter supply of trash bags are provided per reservation contract. There is a full size washer and dryer to wash towels if needed.  If you like large beach towels for use with the hot tub you might consider bringing those along.
Torii, Clarence, Daja & Tralen August, Georgia 1/21/06 We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here at your beautiful cabin.  It was the most beautiful so far our of all the one's we've stayed in up to this point.  The kids really enjoyed the pool table & the arcade game.  My husband & I really enjoyed the fireplace.  Thank you for making our trip a very memorable one.
Jason, Jennifer, Jacob & Anna Arlington, Tennessee 1/2/06 We needed to get out of Memphis and celebrate my graduation from nursing school!  We loved the cabin--very clean and spacious and loads of fun!  Don't miss the aquarium or Cades Cove.  Our bids claimed the upstairs--playing pool, Ms. Pac Man, watching TV and listening to music all at the same time.  We did not see any bears, but we did see turkey and deer.  We are already planning another trip.
Jessica, Phillip, Brenna & Chris   12/31/05 My husband & I came up here to get away to celebrate the New Year.  We met some friends up here & all stayed here.  We had a blast & LOVED the hot tub.  Our husbands went skiing & we went shopping!!!  I love the shops here=)  Happy New Year!
Robin & Debbie Acworth, Georgia 12/9/05 This is a beautiful cabin.  There is so much room, especially when there are only two of you.  You get all the things we look for without having to get a huge cabin.  The place is also spotless.  We really enjoyed the opportunity to get away by ourselves before the holidays.  Thank you so much.
Dan, Cameron, Sarah & Tina Brookville, Indiana 11/24/05 We had lots of fun.  The cabin is very nice.  The view was very nice.
Ralph, Betty, Mitch & Jen Thomasville & Mobile, Alabama 11/20/05 We had a great time at Bearskin Ridge.  The cabin is very nice. We saw lots of snow on our trip this time.  All through the Roaring Fork Motor Trail and Cades Cove.  The scenery has been beautiful.  Thanks for the great cabin.  Happy Thanksgiving to all and have a safe trip.
Randy, Sharon & kids Gulfport, Mississippi 11/16/05 Our stay at Bearskin Ridge has been wonderful.  This cabin has all the accommodations anyone will need.  Suggestions:  Drive the Roaring Fork Motor Trail.  It is great for memories and walk the Laurel Falls Trail, it's worth the 1.3 miles.  Enjoy your stay here just as we did.  Have a safe drive home.
Larry, Melissa, Mason & Mallory Lexington, Alabama 11/1/05 We had a wonderful time.  The view was very nice but the cabin was beautiful!  We loved the arcade games, pool table and especially the hot tub!  We loved how the cabin was decorated, we will be back!
Marcia, Danny, Marsha & James Dadeville, Alabama 10/27/05 We've had a wonderful time--Your mountains are "awesome"--We enjoyed your house--so comfortable.  The best part was the cold nights & magnificent Hot Tub.  For entertainment in town--we enjoyed the "Fiddler's Feast".  Those kids put on a show.  Thank you--we will be back but will stay longer next time.
Mike, Candy, Kim & Brian   10/23/05 We had a wonderful time.  We will definitely be back.
Danny & Donna Hillsboro, Missouri 10/15/05 Spent our 12th Anniversary here & we loved it--we've been coming down to Gatlinburg & Smokies for 12 yrs & we've stayed at a lot of places--but this one is awesome.  The view from the hot tub--not to say--we stayed in there pretty much of the time and to top that off--a full moon--Beautiful!!!  We will be returning that's for sure--the house--we love too.  Thank you for letting us spend our Anniversary in your Beautiful House & view.  "Go Cards"
Jay & Tammy Amelia, OH 10/7/05 Thank you for your great cabin.  We loved the games, hot tub & pool table.  We came to Gatlinburg with another couple and had a terrific "no kids" well rested weekend.  Next time we will bring the kids which I'm sure they will love all there is to do!  Thanks again.
John, Yvonne, Eric & Don Yatesville, GA & Newnan, GA 9/29/05 Bearskin Ridge is a nice home to stay at when visiting Gatlinburg.  We came for our daughter's wedding and made a long stay out of it.  The leaves not turning yet but the mountain view was still great.  I didn't actually expect all the other homes around us but after settling in I could ignore that the were here & only look at the best view spots.  I didn't get to see any bears.  But found many crafts of bear products to help me remember our trip here.  We plan to come back to Gatlinburg nest year for our 25 anniversary.  The Aquarium was the best thing we did outside the mountain views & the Wedding.  Ride the Sling Shot @ Pigeon Forge!  We love the floor plan on this house & would love to build a home like this of our own.
Mark & Kelli   9/24/05 Bearskin Ridge is so special, it is very well kept & wonderfully decorated!  It has something for everyone in the family.  The game room & hot tub were very well used.  Just being here for the weekend was so relaxing that we, being on our Honeymoon, would like to make this an every year thing.  Thanks for the memories.  May God Bless you & may he always be number 1 in our lives.
David, Melinda, Michael & Jessica Gburg, VA 9/17/05 We had a great time and would love to come back again.  The cabin is very neat and excellent.  Thanks for a great time.
Pam, Ray, Zach & Rose Hartwell, GA 8/24/05 Came up for our son's wedding Aug 27th at Victorian Gardens Wedding Chapel.  Bearskin Ridge is a wonderful cabin.  All our family came back to the cabin after the wedding for BBQ chicken, mac & Cheese, potato salad, pot roast & veg & zipper cream peas.  The cabin had plenty of space to sit and eat & visit with family.  The kids had a great time with the game room.  I'm happy about my son's marriage but also sad since he is our last baby to marry.  I would love to visit Bearskin Ridge again.  Thank you for the use of your beautiful home.
Diane, Daniel, Kailee & Teagan Sherrills Ford, NC 8/12/05 We had an awesome time here!  We all enjoyed the hot tub and the beautiful views.  Bearskin Ridge is like a "home away from home."  I'm sure we'll be back for a future visit.
Diane, Leslie & Cara   8/4/05 My family & I came to Gatlinburg for my son's Brown Belt Tournament-Isshin-Ryu Karate Hall of Fame.  Found Bearskin Ridge on the Internet & it is wonderful for all.  Scenic view, peaceful & spacious with privacy inside & out.  We will make plans for a future visit.  Than you for sharing all.
Marianne, Terry, Kevin, Brian & Katie NW suburbs of Chicago, IL 7/30/05 Loved Bearskin Ridge!  It was our first trip to the Smokys.  Had a great trip.  I could sit on the balcony & enjoy the view forever.  Kids loved the pool table & Packman.  Calhoun's was a good spot for dinner.  Don't go to Blaine's--Pancake Pantry was excellent.  Try the corn meal pancakes.  Kids had fun at NASCAR Speedway but long lines.  Hillbilly Golf is not worth the price.  Would love to return!
Bill, Shannon, Sierra & Cotton Bristol, TX just south of Dallas 7/23/05 The cabin is wonderful!  We enjoyed the grill and the hot tub as well as the pool table and video games (we grew up playing Miss Pac Man & Galaga).  We enjoyed visiting Ober Gatlinburg and highly recommend the Comedy Barn--very funny!  We wish we lived closer (our drive was about 15 hours).  Would love to visit more often--this was our 1st trip to Tennessee.  Thank you for the use of your cabin.  God Bless.
Beth, LaVoris, Cam, Renee, Ashley & Lori Huntsville, AL Columbus, MS 7/19/05 We had an amazing time while we were here.  The view is astonishing.  We tried to get everything in that we could by quickly learned that we clearly did not have enough time.  A few things that I would recommend:  Screamin Swing, Calhoun's Steak House, Ripley's Museum & the outlets.  Things I would not recommend:  The Earthquake ride.  We will definitely be making this trip again.  Thank you for the use of your cabin.  Warmest Regards.
Danny, Judy, Amy & Bill Mayfield, KY 7/8/05 The cabin was so much above our expectations.  Our children were with us and they were awed at the sight off the back deck, as we were.  We were here for our youngest daughter's wedding.  I would recommend this place to anyone.  We weren't here long enough to enjoy everything but I hope we can return again at a time we can stay longer.  The TV's in every room was a big plus and the pool table was my favorite.  OK now one downside.  There wasn't enough towels & Wash cloths for 2 couples.  There should be at least w more sets.  But a minor detail.  Thanks again.  PS I would like to know where I could find the floor plan for a cabin like this.  NOTE:  If you ever need more towels or anything when staying at the cabin call the office immediately!  Enough towels are scheduled to be left by housekeepers.  The management office will send more towels to the cabin to suit your needs.
Rick & Michelle Jamestown, TN 7/3/05 The cabin was beautiful.  We had a wonderful time.  Our trip was everything we hoped it would be.  We can't wait to come back.
Joseph, Sheila, Ronald, Madline, & J Michael Euclid, OH 6/27/05 Breathtaking!  The cabin, the grounds, the view and the mountain.  See you next year.
Charlotte, Pete, Mark & Joyce N Carolina & Indiana 6/25/05 We enjoyed the cabin so much, it is so beautiful.  It gave us time as a family.
Diane, Carl, Tim, Tyler & Steven Leicester & Oteen, NC 6/17/05 We all really enjoyed the cabin.  I was furnished beautifully.  The kids loved the hot tub and pool table.  We only live 1 1/2 hours from here.  We need to come over more often.  It's Myrtle Beach here but without the Beach.  I'd rather come here on vacation.  We will be back.  Thanks a lot.
Jenny Leicester & Oteen, NC 6/17/05 I loved the hot tub and the pool table.  Jenny 11yrs.
Bob, Laurie, Ryan, Debbie & Rachel Yale, MI 6/11/05 We came from Yale, Michigan.  The house is wonderful.  We have had a great time.  We went to the caverns, we went to the top of the Smokies, the mountains are beautiful.  We went to NASCAR our last day and the kids and dad had a great time!  The only bad thing is the cost of parking, that's crazy!!  NOTE:  Here is a tip!  Parking on River Road in Downtown Gatlinburg is free.  During busy time you will want to get there early.  At the end of town closest to the Nat'l Park your will find a free parking lot behind Cherokee Grill and Calhoun's Restaurants for patrons and local shopping.  Another option is to park and ride the trolley that has a stop 2/10th of a mile down at the parking lot cornering Proffitt Rd across from the concrete statuary business.
Dillon Yale, MI 6/11/05 Great house, loved the pool table :) liked all the TV's (a lot).  An amazing view.  Had a great time uptown.  Especially in Pigeon Forge at NASCAR Speedpark.  The hot tub was nice.
Donna, Ronnie, Dawn, Randy & MacKenzie Gallatin, TN Bethpage, TN 6/2/05 My husband and I came with my daughter, son-in-law and 2 year old grand-daughter.  We had a wonderful time.  We usually come once or twice a year.  The cabin is fantastic.  We all loved it.  It is so clean and comfortable.  We enjoyed the pool table, hot tub, view, kitchen, etc, etc.  We would like to stay here again.  We have to go home tomorrow, but would love to stay longer.  Your place is beautiful!  Thanks!
Connie & Russ Birmingham AL 5/29/05 We enjoyed 3 wonderful days and nights here at your mountain getaway.  Thank you for taking the effort to make Bearskin Ridge seem like it was ours.  We made use of the amenities, pool table & hot tub every day and enjoyed the wonderful views from the decks.  We will recommend your chalet to our friends as well as try to stay here again on our next visit.  Kindest Regards. 
Kim, Mike, Jalen & Janelle Lawrenceburg, KY 5/26/05 Had a real good time.  I brought my kids up here for vacation.  My daughters B-day was May 28 and she loves it.  Likes the games and most of all she loves the Jacuzzi.  My son does also.  We plan to come back soon.
Glen, Nita, Jim & CF Lexington, KY 4/23/05 Had a great time!  This chalet is very nice.  We would like to come back next year!
Reynolds Family Temple, GA 4/15/05 The weather was great spring time.  Loved the cabin & enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub.  Wish we could have stayed longer.
Chris & Cindrea Loveland, OH 3/28/05 Lovely cabin--would recommend to others.  Rental company very nice to work with.  Clean accommodations.  Enjoyed our stay--would've liked to stay longer.
Autumn, Tammy, Steve & Eric Mt Juliet, TN 3/23/05 We had a great time in Gatlinburg and the VIEW AND HOUSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.

The Parishes Lexington, KY 12/3/04 A WONDERFUL VISIT IN YOUR LOVELY RETREAT.  Our whole family enjoyed the weekend.
Kathy & Dave Batesville, IN 11/12/04 Really enjoyed ourselves.  What a great getaway.  THE PLACE WAS BEAUTIFUL AND HAD EVERYTHING WE NEEDED.  Hate to go back.
Nina & Dave Batesville, IN 11/12/04 Have to go today.  Really hate to leave.  Loved the place!!  BEAUTIFUL VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS!  Loved the hot tub!  Anyway, we had a great time!
Jackie, Bill & Brian Chattanooga, TN 11/2/04 We had a wonderful time!  WE REALLY ENJOYED STAYING IN A CHALET and we will certainly try to come back soon.  We went to the Ripley's Believe it or not museum and had a great time.  We have eaten dinner at The Peddler and at Park Place.  The food has been great.  We saw the opening act of the Louise Mandrell Christmas Show tonight and had lots of fun.  Everyone should try to get to the Louise Mandrell Christmas Show if you are here for the holidays.  Thanks so much!
Mike & Lisa Soso, MS 10/27/04 Time goes by so quickly.  I made one big mistake this trip--I shopped too much.  I need a few more days just to relax.  MY NEXT TRIP TO BEARSKIN RIDGE I WILL COME EQUIPPED TO STAY HERE ONLY.  I loved the bears.  I bought me a nice Christmas bear for my fireplace back home at the Pottery.  I loved the Christian Book Stores.  They had great prices, especially on children's books.  Bought a lot of Christmas presents.  I will bring my children the next trip.  The fireplace was different for me.  My fireplace is the traditional one--log burning.  I did not know how convenient gas is!  My husband and I had a great time here.  Thank you so much.
Raymie, Paula, Heather, Kasey & Brandon Marysville, IN 10/20/04 What a beautiful home.  We enjoyed the comforts tremendously.  It was nice to get away and bond as a family again.  We have been to the Smokies several times and we have to say this is ONE OF THE NICEST PLACES we have stayed in--Great Décor!  The pool table, games & hot tub were a hit!!  We enjoyed the shopping, Cherokee Village, Ripley's Aquarium & the ski lift.  We hope to come back again soon.  Thanks.
Erika, Maysun, Dawson, Jason, Brandi & Brian Georgetown, OH 10/3/04 YOUR HOUSE WAS VERY NICE!  We enjoyed playing pool.  What we liked the most was the Ripley's Believe It or Not Aquarium.  We saw all kinds of fish & sharks.  We might be able to come back another day….or at least I hope we are!  P.S. Parking is expensive!  We got new Smoky Mtn airbrush t-shirts!  NOTE:  In addition to the parking tip entered on 9/12/04, there is a parking garage located downtown behind the aquarium.  It is centrally located and does have a fee.
Chris, Megan, Rylee, Sandy & Jack Winston-Salem, NC 9/24/04 VERY NICE HOME!  Pool table & hot tub were used a lot.  Thank you for a nice weekend away!
Mark, Drewetta, Dan & Betty Decatur, MI 9/12/04 Had a wonderful stay here at Bearskin Ridge.  EVERYTHING IS BEAUTIFUL & FITS THIS PLACE PERFECT.  Only thing I don't like about Gatlinburg is the Earthquake Ride and having to pay to park because everything else is high we paid $5 just to eat breakfast one morning uptown.  All and all a great time.  NOTE:  Here is a tip!  Parking on River Road in Downtown Gatlinburg is free.  During busy time you will want to get there early.  At the end of town closest to the Nat'l Park your will find a free parking lot behind Cherokee Grill and Calhoun's Restaurants for patrons and local shopping.  Another option is to park and ride the trolley that has a stop 2/10th of a mile down at the parking lot cornering Proffitt Rd across from the concrete statuary business.
Revenia, Amanda, Denny II and Devon Munfordville, KY 9/3/04 We all had a great time.  I came to my brother-in-laws wedding and my friend & her son came along.  We went to Dollywood & Splash Country.  We also went to Cherokee NC to the Indian Village.  BEARSKIN RIDGE WAS EXCEPTIONAL. There was so much for the kids to do.  We will be back soon.
Angela, Nick (15), Ben (12), Linda & Scott Chattanooga, TN 8/13/04 WHAT A WONDERFUL PLACE!  This was just what we needed before the kids return to school.  We have made several trips to Gatlinburg but this was our first time in a chalet, but it won't be our last.  Bearskin Ridge was a home away from home to us.  The pool table & hot tub were used constantly.  THE DECORATIONS & THE VIEW ADD SO MUCH to the mountain feelings.  We enjoyed our stay so much we went & reserved the week after Christmas to come back & stay.  Thanks for sharing your place with us.
Jerry, Sharon Mark, Angil, Kyle & Haleigh Dayton, OH 8/7/04 Thank you Tennessee and Bearskin Ridge for wonderful hospitality.  We enjoyed our stay and had many adventures.  Some of the kid favorites were the Go-Karts, Sky-Fly and Dollywood.  We would lover to come back as there is so much to do in the Smoky Mountains.  Go Buckeyes!!  The go-karts are great!  Go Steelers!  I like the hot tub. I had fun!!  Thanks grandma and grandpa.
Janet, Roy, Ashley (15) & Michael (10) Cajun Country, LA 8/1/04 We enjoyed our stay!  EVERYTHING WAS SO CLEAN AND COMFORTABLE!  The pool table was used every night--Michael loved it!  We had fun at Davy Crockett golf & Ober Gatlinburg, Excitement Whitewater Rafting on the Upper Pigeon River & enjoyed the scenery at Cade's Cove, just to name a few.  Hope to come again in the winter.  GEAUX LSU TIGERS!!  2004 National Champs.
Terry, Rebecca, Tabitha & Nathaniel Winthrop Harbor, IL 7/25/04 We enjoyed the nice, spacious cabin.  Hot tub and pool table were a big hit.  The National Park was nice to visit, but did not like the actual town of Gatlinburg.  Way too busy and commercialized.  THE QUIET CABIN HAD EVERYTHING needed for a relaxing vacation.
Roy, Betty & Jessica Concorde, NC 7/2/04 Third year @ Bearskin Ridge.  Place still LOOKS GREAT & FEELS LIKE HOME.  2nd day here, front door knob jammed, locked me & Betty outside.  Maintenance replaced door lock.  Went to Cades Cove & saw a real bear in the wild for the first time.  Had a great time & we hope you do too.
Mark, Missy, Kathryn, Chad, Macy & Coty Clarksville, TN 6/27/04 We really enjoyed our short stay.  The kids loved it.  The pool table and hot tub were great.  NOTHING COULD HAVE BEEN BETTER except I didn't like the centipedes that kept getting in the cabin.  Bearskin Ridge was a perfect cabin and we would enjoy coming back again--hopefully for a longer stay.  Thanks for the memorable experience!
Mike, Joyce, Tim & Tori Nashville, TN 6/4/04 We come every year, 1st time staying in a chalet.  Loved it!  VERY CLEAN, WELL MAINTAINED and amenities were very generous.  Pool table, TV's and VCR's were very enjoyable.  Could not have had a better weekend!!!  Thanks.  P.S.  DVD should be in family/great room instead of upstairs game room.  NOTE:  Good suggestion so 10/04 we added a combination VCR/DVD to the living room.  Cabin now has 3 VCR's and 2 DVD's.
Lydia, Glenn & Stephanie Benton, AK 6/1/04 Clingman's Dome and the Aquarium worth seeing.  This trip needed to be longer but it was great while it lasted.  Thank you for all the hospitality.
James, Julie & parents Betty & George na 5/25/04 A good stay too short.  Our home away from home.
Sharpes Danville, PA 5/19/04 This cabin is the MOST SPECTACULAR HOME AWAY FROM HOME we have ever enjoyed.  We spent the majority of our stay hiking the Smoky Mountain Park.  Highly recommend Laurel Falls and Abram's Falls trails.  Cades Cove is beautiful also.  We cannot wait to come back again, perhaps with friends to share it with.
Rodney, Mary, Holly & Brittany Tomey, AL 4/30/04 We loved our stay at Bearskin Ridge.  It was THE BEST HOUSE WE'VE EVER STAYED IN.  THE VIEW WAS AMAZING.  I loved all the entertainment down the street.  I loved it so much we stayed an extra day.  It was so hard to leave!  I love this place.  Thank you so much.
Kissels Clover, SC & Belleville, MI 4/23/04 The HOUSE WAS EXCEPTIONAL AND THE VIEWS BREATHTAKING.  We recommend the hike to Rainbow Falls--leave about 3 hrs to complete.  We'll definitely be back.  :-)  Also drove to Cades Cove….took the nature hike.
Maddox & Cox KY 4/16/04 Came down on Friday April 16th and stayed until Sunday.  We are from Kentucky.  We come every year but I have to admit THIS IS THE BEST AND CLEANEST CABIN WE HAVE EVER STAYED IN.  The pool table and hot tub are always a must and yours are great.  Hope to see you next year at the same time.
Metner & Wenert na 4/13/04 Had a wonderful time.  THE CABIN IS BEAUTIFUL ALONG WITH THE VIEW.  We will definitely be back again.
Mary Jo, Steve, Kristin, Emily, Monica & Nicole Englewood, OH 4/7/04 Our spring break vacation.  WE LOVE THIS WONDERFUL CABIN.  We spent one day driving/hiking the National Forest.  Grotto Falls was great.  One day spent shopping & browsing the Gatlinburg shops.  (prices for air brush t-shirts are negotiable)  Had a good time at Comedy Barn in Pigeon Forge.  Hot tub was a big hit!  We all plan to come back again!
Jennifer, Mike, Carl, Alan & Shane Hendersonville, TN 3/26/04 WHAT A BEAUTIFUL PLACE!  We definitely want to come back.  We went to Ober Gatlinburg with the children & had a delicious meal at the Wild Plum Tea Room.  Hope to be back soon!
Matt, Ben, Rachel & Christina Elida, Alger & Lima OH 3/18/04 We came down for spring break and were delighted to find such a beautiful cabin.  We had seen pictures on the web when we booked the cabin, but ACTUALLY GETTING HERE AND SEEING THE VIEW WAS SIMPLY AWESOME.  We loved the hot tub & pool table!  Everything was amazing in the cabin and we had a great time.  We're already talking about possible coming back next year!  Thanks!  Go Ohio State Buckeyes!!!  2002 -2003 National Champions!
Don, Amy & Wayne Atlanta , GA 2/27/04 Had a wonderful weekend.  Loved all of it.  We will be back. Loved your home.  EVERY TIME I SAW SOMETHING WITH BEARS I WANTED TO BUY IT FOR YOUR HOME.  Thanks again.
Chris & Leigh Summerville, GA 2/13/04 We come every year to celebrate our anniversary, which is Feb 12th.  We love this place, especially the pool table.  We played game after game.  Hope to be back next year!  Thanks.  Bulldawg Fans All The Way!!!
Robert, Sonya, Paul & Gina Conyers & Porterdale, GA 1/15/04 Came up for a wedding with (very) pregnant wives in tow.  With due dates in March (Sonya) and between early April & early May (Gina with twins) this is the last trip for a while and certainly the last "easy" trip ever.  Cabin is fantastic!  Pool table a great idea.  The VIEW OUT BACK IS NICE, except for the neighbors rooftops.  I guess that's inevitable.  Don't break your neck getting to Pigeon Forge, although the Outlet Malls north of town were pretty good.  Do break your neck to eat breakfast at Ma's Kitchen--it's two minutes away and very good.  (see menu inside of cabinet)  GO DAWGS!!!
Michael, Teresa, Colby, Robbie & Misty Hilham, TN 1/3/04 We had a great time!  THE HOUSE WAS BEAUTIFUL.  Played pool too!  We enjoyed the vacation.  Thank you so much for the lovely accommodations.  We will be back again.
Keith, Denise & Bo Charleston, SC 12/31/03 We came here to meet friends (…from Ohio) that we used to share a house with.  We traveled about 350 miles to get here.  ENJOYED THE VIEW & JACUZZI.  It was good to see our friends again (it had been 15 months since we last saw them).  Maybe we'll come back to this area again.  We are involved in a Christian Ministry that endeavors to rightly divide God's word, called The Way International.  If interested to find our more go to www.THEWAY.org.  God Bless.
Scott, Bardette, Jeremy & Tyler New Knoxville, OH 12/31/03 Happy New Year!  What a blessing this chalet was for us!  We had great fun & fellowship w/our friends….here.  Didn't matter how many lines we stood in in our Gatlinburg outings.  We could come back & hop in the hot tub--what a treat!  Went to Dixie Stampede and even got picked to go down and be a part of the show--WOW!  We'll never forget that.  This place is BEAUTIFUL, CLEAN & SO SWEET!  Thanks.  Bless your hearts.
Win, Susan, Edwin & Wesley Germantown, TN 12/26/03 We had a great time at Bearskin Ridge.  Santa gave us this trip.  We went to Dollywood.  We played pool and got into the hot tub every night.  We rode the Sky Lift and went to Ober Gatlinburg.  We also went to the Haunted House and a 3-D ride.  I liked this trip just as much as last year when we went to Disney World.  It was fun.  Great fun!
Stephanie, Adrian, Angela & Balentian Hamilton, AL 12/22/03 We had the Best Christmas ever!  It is the first time ever to be in Gatlinburg, TN.  Also we hope it's not the last time we are here.  We enjoyed the cabin.  It was clean, nice, and cozy.  We enjoyed the Jacuzzi and the snow that fell on the ground.  Thanks for everything and Merry Christmas!
Corey & Natalie Dayton, OH 11/29/03 Thanksgiving was wonderful in Gatlinburg.  We TRULY ENJOYED your cabin!  We will be back.
The Chatman Family Louisville, KY 11/29/03 This was our second trip to Gatlinburg and our first time staying in a chalet.  We absolutely loved staying at the Bearskin Ridge.  Very clean and spacious.  The kids loved the pool table.  We LOVED THE HOT TUB and THE VIEW OF THE MOUNTAINS ARE WONDERFUL.  Satellite TV would be nice and a couple more board games.  However, we had a wonderful time during our stay and will definitely be back.
Keith & Ammie Glasgow, VA 11/6/03 We come to Tennessee with Ammie's sister and brother-in-law.  We were celebrating our 10th Wedding Anniversary along with their 4th Wedding Anniversary and my sister's 31st birthday!  We came "without the kids"--it was the first time we had ever done that!  We had a fabulous time--we really enjoyed the Black Bear Jamboree Christmas Show--it was a wonderful tribute to Christmas.  We also loved the hot tub and pool table (especially when Ammie's sister celebrated her birthday drinking wine) :)  The CABIN WAS SO RELAXING AND NICE--it's apparent much time has been put into making it "home away from home".  Thank you--we needed this trip and we look forward to coming back again!  PS--We are ready to see our kids!!
Kevin & Heather Roanoke, VA 11/6/03 We came with my wife's sister & her husband--the above.  Had a wonderful time & look forward to coming back.   We liked Gatlinburg much better than Pigeon Forge.  It's so quiet, quaint & relaxing.  We didn't see any wildlife at the cabin but thoroughly enjoyed the cabin itself.  The hot tub was great.  Pool table was a nice touch & the radios, TV/VCR in each room was great. THANKS FOR SUCH A NICE PLACE--we'll be back!
Terri, Sherri & Darilynne New Albany & Floyd Knobs, IN 10/22/03 We laughed, we cried, we watched the sunrise from the hot tub, had "girls group therapy" and ate donuts.  This cabin is a haven on our way to heaven!  We recommend the Arts & Crafts loop, the Village (in downtown Gatlinburg) especially The Donut Friar shop and all the little "women's boutiques".  We saw lots of deer at Cades Cove in the Smokies.  (Oh, and the other outstanding restaurant is the Wild Plum Tea Room about 2 miles up the road from Bearskin Ridge.)  LOVED THE QUAINTNESS & HOMINESS of our cabin in the woods.  Every amenity is here (except a hairdryer).  Loved the hot tub and comfortable beds!  Thank you for providing such a wonderful ministry through this home.  P.S.  We danced until our legs fell off at "The Stool Pigeon" on Sat night.  Girls just wanna have fun!!  The aquarium, Ripley's Aquarium is very good too.
Tim, Don, Nigel & Tracey Huber Heights, OH 10/16/03 This place is like a home away from home.  It had everything we needed.  We  loved it so much we only went into town once.  THE VIEW WAS GREAT!  Hope we can come back soon!!  Go Buckeyes!!
Mike & Ana Maria LaHabra, CA 10/10/03 What a beautiful day!  The trees are just starting to turn color and the view is magnificent!  We so enjoyed the peacefulness that seems to surround this area.  We are going to try and take a little bit of this heaven with us--in our memories as we head back home.  The cabin is so cozy & seems to stretch our it's arms in welcome to us.  This is TRULY A PLACE YOU CAN "UNWIND".  Thanks!!
Rita, Brenda, Kim (mother & daughter) Hamilton, OH 10/5/03 We're back!  PLACE LOOKS GREAT as usual.  No poem this time, gotta go!  Enjoyed our stay..now we must go away.  See ya in the spring!
Richie, Sherry, Cody, Chase, Ricky & Christine Lascassas, TN 10/4/03 We moved to Lascassas 2 months ago originally from Florida.  We came here to celebrate our sons birthdays, Cody 9 & Chase 8.  They love Cherokee and all the Indian stuff.  They also loved the NASCAR Speedway where it feels like you are driving a real racecar.  We love it here in Tennessee.  There's always something to do.  We have rented cabins in the past but the BEARSKIN RIDGE IS BEAUTIFUL & VERY CLEAN.  The boys loved the pool table.  We will definitely be back to this house.  Sherry.
Michael & Crystal Owensboro, KY 9/19/03 First time to the Smokies.  Here to celebrate our 2nd Wedding Anniversary!  Your cabin is lovely, we would love to see the mountains & trees covered in snow.  JUST FAR ENOUGH FROM THE "HUSTLE & BUSTLE" of "town".  Check out Ripley's Aquarium & Dixie Stampede!  We needed more time-like maybe a month to do all we wanted to do.  My husband enjoyed the pool table and the hot tub was great.  We will recommend Bearskin Ridge to our friends and hope to visit again--the sooner the better--God Bless you all--
Pamela Cincinnati, OH 9/17/03 Today is my birthday.  What a pleasant place to start the day.  Although I will be leaving today it has been so nice to come to Bearskin Ridge.  We celebrated three things in the last three days.  BJ & LA's marriage 16th, BJ's birthday 16th and Pamela's birthday 17th.  Had lots of fun.  SAME TIME NEXT YEAR!
BJ & LA Cincinnati, OH 9/15/03 Once again we had to come back with bigger things in mind.  We brought my mom and dad.  Last time we were here was 7/12/02 and I must say YOU'VE DONE A GREAT JOB keeping this place together.  I am so happy that I could stay here at Bearskin Ridge for my big day.  Yes, we did it!  BJ & LA got married 9/16/03.  Chapel by the Creek was great....won't be needing them again but will be back to see you again.  Wrote by BJ.  Thanks BJ & LA
Avino & Passmore Batavia, NY 9/8/03 GREAT HOUSE!  It has everything you need!  I will be back!
Stacy   8/24/03 I thank you very much for the privilege of staying in this WONDERFUL CABIN.  The moment I walked in I fell in love!  The weather was great, the city not too crowded.  Peaceful!  We are here to get away from life and this cabin took us there. I recommend the NASCAR Cafe, the place in entertaining!  Food is great, service is wonderful and the props are realistic.  Again, thank you!  We had a wonderful time and will return!
Marjie Hamilton, OH 8/8/03 We had a great time in Bearskin Ridge.  This is a BEAUTIFUL CABIN.  We hiked two days.  Had fun shopping.  We didn't find time to use the hot tub.  (Maybe next time).  We were extremely disappointed with the restaurant Lineberger Seafood.  We had a fun time playing pool.  I would recommend this cabin to everyone.  Thanks.
Bill & Danielle and John & Charlotte Ft Lauderdale, FL 7/19/03 This was our 2nd Smoky Mtns vacation--the first was in a tent!  We loved the extras staying at your lovely home provided--comfort, the HOT TUB--laundry! AND THE FANTASTIC MOUNTAIN VIEW.  The children spent every evening in the Hot tub.  We hiked chimney tops and saw a baby bear on Anthony Creek Trail in Cades Cove, along with a pair of twin fawns.  We tubed & Rafted, shopped & Grilled, relaxed & laughed.  Thanks for a wonderful family vacation!
Terry, Pat & Ryan and Mark, Debbie & Brock Elk Grove Vlg, Illinois and Jackson TN 7/12/03 Our families really enjoyed your accommodations.  WAKING UP TO THE VIEW OF THE SMOKIES WAS WONDERFUL The décor of the house is wonderful.  It felt like a home away from home.  The boys enjoyed the hot tub and pool table.  We hiked the Smokies and saw beautiful waterfall, deer and a bear with her babies.  It was awesome!!  We also enjoyed Dollywood, Splash Mountain and the Comedy Barn.  We took a tube ride in Bryson City, NC just outside Deer Creek Campground.  A little rough out well worth the ride!!  We loved the Smokies and I am sure we will be back!!
Roy, Berry & Jessica Concord, NC 6/30/03 Second stay @ Bearskin Ridge.  We half expected things to be changed when we arrived.  Much to our delight, the place looks the same as when we left a year ago.  It still feels like home.  We did have a few days of rain (remnants of tropical storm "Bill") but no thunderstorms.  We have yet to find anything to complain about with this cabin!  It is wonderful.  My wife & I intend to retire to these mountains in 15 - 20 yrs and we've found the floor plans we want.  We haven't stayed here in  the winter months, but I have no doubt that tit is just as cozy then as in the summer.  We hate leaving (time goes by so quickly here), but we are looking forward too going home (our dogs miss us & are grieving).  We hope you enjoy your time here at Bearskin Ridge as much as we did.  Thanks again for a wonderful place & may God bless you.  Roy
Eric, Cathy, Reed & Hunter Pontotoc, MI 6/22/03 We have been staying in cabins for 8 years while visiting the Smokies and have never felt as if we were actually staying in someone's "home" until "Bearskin Ridge".  The DECOR AND PERSONAL TOUCHES WERE OVER THE LIMIT!  For once, everything worked!!!  The kids enjoyed the hot tub every day and the pool table was used every waking minute we were here.  Comfortable furniture and beds--very well equipped kitchen--everything a family could need for a great vacation.  The "Comedy Barn" was a hit with us all--good clean family fun.  Baseball fans should take time to see the TN Smokies play--not a bad team.  Thanks for allowing us this time together.
Rick, Jeanne & Zachary Bluff City, TN 6/21/03 We came here with relatives and we all loved this place.  Even though we only stayed one night we will definitely be visiting again.  Thank you for making it feel so "homey".
Barnegat Waretown NJ 6/2/03 What an immaculate and lovely decorated home.  We enjoyed the vacation away from home.  The hot tub was very relaxing and peaceful.  No indication of bears, although we did see a fox.  We thank you so very much for the lovely accommodations.  I'm sure we will be back again in the Smokies.  Sincerely, Jamie & Jeanne Cascio, Sharon & Brian Stallard & our grandson Jimmy.
Fletchers & Cousins Columbia SC 5/23/03 Wow!!  What a great cabin.  I have been to the Smokies probably 10 times over the past 15 years and I will say this is the first time I want to come back to the same cabin.  Bearskin Ridge is like home away from home.  The hot tub was truly the hit of the weekend.  Thank you for taking time to stock the kitchen as well as making the cabin spotless.  What a welcomed change from hotel or other cabins.  Bearskin Ridge truly says "kick your shoes off."  WE WILL BE BACK this coming winter!!  Thank you for a great get-away!  The Fletchers & The Cousins  PS:  Cute decorations!  Loved the bear theme.
Buelle Family   5/15/03 The Buelle family had a great time.  What a beautiful, welcoming place!  And great scenery.  Very conducive to inspiration and spending time with God and in close communion with one another.  God bless you who help provide this place!
Benson Family   5/10/03 The Benson family was here for our 3rd time.  Exactly a year ago we were here.  Happy Mothers Day!
Brent & Amy Heiskell, TN 5/3/03 It's our 10 year wedding anniversary--this was a great weekend get-away--we wish we could stay longer, but it's back to reality for us!  Hope to see you soon!
Cara & Jim Knoxville, TN 5/3/03 This is a great place.  Hope to be back soon!
Killebrew Family Mandeville, LA 4/24/03 umm…there's a lot of bears and they make it adorable.  The faux skin bears on the wall really make this place the Bearskin Ridge..Yay bears….Had a great time majorly ENJOYED THE VIEW & THE HOT TUB!  Thank you, Killebrew Kid (Kassie Killebrew)
Chelsea Okeana, OH 4/20/03 Chelsea from the last page.  Age 10.  Loved the pool table!  I had lots of fun.  I only got in the hot tub once.  Nice place!
Jean, Joe, Kenny & Chelsea Okeana, OH 4/20/03 Your place is great!  Nicely decorated.  This is our 4th Easter here in Gatlinburg.  We enjoyed the cabin immensely!  Lots of pool tournaments with the kids.  We really enjoyed our stay and definitely come back again.  God Bless America!!
Kenny Okeana, OH 4/20/03 Age 14.  This place was really nice.  The pool table was a great thing to do when I didn't have anything else to do.  The hot tub felt nice when I got in.  The VIEW FROM THE PORCH UPSTAIRS WAS NICE.  I hope to come back here next year.
Jeff, Kathy, Richard & Chris Virginia Beach, VA 4/12/03 Thank you so much for sharing your home with us!  We absolutely loved the house--the boys played pool constantly & really enjoyed the hot tub.  We tried out Dollywood--very enjoyable! & the Ripley Aquarium also a hit.  Went hiking to Laurel Falls, which is a great family hike.  Recommend the Cherokee Grill for a reasonable, decent meal.  Will definitely be back!
Mildred Florence, KY 4/8/03 Had a great time!!  Your cabin was great too!  Thanks, Mildred
Rick & Amanda and Mildred, Ashley & Matthew Florence, KY 4/8/03 GREAT CABIN!  WE LOVE IT!  The weather was terrible, but we made the most of it.  Went to the "Dixie Stampede"--Highly Recommended!  Don't waste your time at "Earthquake The Ride"--very lame.  Enjoy the hot tub--what relaxation.  Thanks for a great stay.
Jamie & Jennifer Brunswick GA 3/21/03 We loved the cabin!  Very cute and comfortable.  The fireplace was very nice in the evenings and so was the Hot tub!  We went to the race in Bristol, it was a long day there & a long derive back so it was very nice to come back to the cabin & relax by the fire!  We would love to come again and will bring our kids next time, there's so much here for them, they would love it!  We will miss the cabin & the mountains, but we are ready to go back home to our kids!!  Thanks for the great time you allowed us to have!!
Kayla, Kody, John, Chris   3/9/03 **S'up, this is Kayla, Kody, John, Chris from page 3.  We're back and it's 3/9/03.  We really enjoyed ourselves this time.  We did not see the cat like earlier.  The hot tub was off the hook!  I can't wait to come back.  See Ya!
Nikki & Mike Chattanooga TN 2/28/03 We had a great time!  Loved the hot tub and the fireplace!  Played pool too!!  It was Mike's birthday and we loved staying here to celebrate.  We were spoiled all weekend with this cabin.  We will be returning and can't wait until then.  Thanks!
Brian & Jennifer Rome GA 2/13/03 We had a great time!  Everything was really neat & very nice.  I love everything in the house it is all very cute!  It rained everyday we were here so maybe we will be back on better days.  We really enjoyed our stay here together.  Thanks for making your cabin available to us.  The hot tub was GREAT!  Go Georgia Bulldogs!
Todd & Nicole Rome GA 2/13/03 We had a wonderful time.  The cabin is great.  I love the way it is decorated.  The pool table was used non-stop.  We also enjoyed the hot tub (when it was working).  It rained the whole time we were here, so maybe next time the weather will be better.  It was a nice weekend, just to get away and enjoy being with each other.  Hopefully, we will be back soon.  Thanks for such a nice place to stay!
The Khahil Family (and 1 Hastings member too) Shelby Tsp Mich 2/3/03 My husband and I have been taking venture to Gatlinburg for 4 years now but since we have 3 small babies we don't get to do much.  This time we went all out and brought my sister to help out and got a cabin.  We are all shocked at the beauty of this place.  Its perfect for my family and I'll recommend this to everyone. God bless you for all the love put into this cabin.  PS and upgraded kids video selection would be awesome like Veggie Tales or Nickelodeon cartoons.
Mark, Patti, Matt & Mark & Glenn  11520 Fairmount Rd, Louisville, KY 40291 1/3/03 We had a real good time, we saw some bare butts but no bear butts.  We had fun in the hot tub and really enjoyed the pool table.  The timer on the fireplace sucks and it really needs a whirlpool tub.  We hope you have a great 2003…Mark.  Matt:  I liked the pool table and the hot tub.  I was disappointed that their was not a vcr or DVD player in either bedrooms.  Glenn:  I loved the pool table, you need to have hand calls for pool table, you need vcr's in every room, the hot tub was great, there fireplace sucks, everything else is nice I had a great time.
Patrick & Suzanne and Kent & Becca Newman GA and Franklin TN 12/30/02 Very clean & nicely decorated.  We enjoyed the hot tub--very hot temp though & pool table.  LOVE THE VIEW & amenities.  We celebrated New Years in style here, toasted in the hot tub w/bubbly drinks!  We ate at  The Peddler--excellent service, overlooked the creek, but food was marginal.  We were pleasantly surprised at the size & cleanliness of your cabin.  It was a wonderful way to spend ringing in the New Year!  We hope to be back soon!
Bob Cox & Dorothy Asheboro, NC 12/26/02 We enjoyed your very nice home--It is furnished very nice and is very comfortable.  Also A NICE VIEW.  We would recommend to others--PS.  A recliner would be nice!
Buddy & Pam, Jason & Karissa   12/23/02 We had a wonderful time in your beautiful cabin.  I love the whole thing!  But probably the hot tub the most!  Jason and I want to own a house like this one day when we get married.  The layout is just perfect!  I think we all really had a good time!  The had never been to TN and I am from Kingsport, so I loved getting to bring them to the mountains (Where I grew up!)  Thanks for such a wonderful time!  Love, Karissa
Glenn, Linda, Geoffrey & Ryan Hixson, TX 12/18/02 We had a wonderful time!  The cabin was lovely.  This was the first time we had done this with the kids.   They had loads of fun playing pool.  Our oldest leaves for Korea in 2 weeks so it was nice to get away as a family before he goes.  Thanks for the memories!  
Travis, Kasi, Natalie & Jackson Clayton, GA 12/12/02 We love this place!  We were in town for a wedding but felt like we got a vacation!  We would love to stay here again!
Cheryl, Susan, Debbie Murfreesboro TN 11/24/02 Wonderful time!  One of the nicest places we've stayed in the 11 years we've been coming to G'burg "with the girls", although our group was down to 3 this year it was still great.  Loved the pool table & hot tub.  The aquarium was great!  Blaine's & the bar behind Calhoun's are good places to party!  See ya next year hopefully!  Cheryl
Garth & Andrea Lake St Louis, MO 11/1/02 Our children gave us a long weekend here in the lovely cabin for our 50th anniversary.  We had a wonderful time & found the cabin just delightful.  So clean & sparkling we thought we must be the first guests.  Darling décor.  Particularly like the bears on the walls & the bear end tables.  We had a super, super time.
The Woodpile & Parkers   10/27/02 Thank you Lord for this wonderful day and a chance to walk in Christ's footsteps and the opportunity for salvation.  The cabin was great, the fellowship fine.  Good laughs, good times.  PS  Roll Tide Bama
Dan, Melissa & Kiera St Clair Shores, MI 9/30/02 We are here for our honeymoon/family vacation with our 5 month old daughter!  It is so comfortable here; just like home!  You can really feel the love this house is decorated with and it is the perfect start for our life together! WE LOVE the hot tub, VIEW and comfort; Kiera loves to watch the fans!!  My husband LOVES all the bears and I love how clean it is!  We really loved Ripley's Aquarium and the Believe It or Not Museum was awesome.  We think Gatlinburg is so cool--our dream vacation!  We didn't get to do a lot of stuff that we wanted to, so we'll be back!!
