We rented this cabin for our family vacation. There were 9 adults and 2 dogs, and there was more then plenty of space for everyone. Our favorite thing was getting to see the bears DAILY (specfically the mom and her 3 babies). The bears are highly active in this area, so please beware if bringing dogs with you. We even spotted a bobcat during our stay as well. The game room provided great games for entertainment during our down time at the cabin. Highly recommened this cabin, especially if you love to see all the wildlife the Smoky Mountains has to offer.
Charming, Spacious Cabin with Incredible Bear Watching â A Memorable Stay!
ChatGPT said:We had a wonderful stay at this spacious and welcoming cabin. It was clean, comfortable, and in a beautiful, peaceful locationâperfect for a family getaway. One of the most unforgettable parts of the trip was the daily black bear sightings. We saw them from the porch almost every day, which made for an incredible and rare wildlife experience.That said, the bear activity did affect some parts of our stay. We grilled once, but a bear quickly showed up and took our hamburger bunsâso we didnât try again after that. We also chose not to walk the dogs during our stay out of caution, since the bears were so frequently nearby.The porch was a great spot to hang out as a family, and we used the hot tub every dayâit was a highlight of the trip. The cabin felt very clean overall, but we did find a pill under the dining table, which was concerning with kids and dogs around. A more thorough sweep between guests would be helpful.Even with a few minor concerns, we would definitely recommend this cabin. Itâs a peaceful retreat with a truly unique opportunity to experience nature up close. Just be prepared for the bears, especially if youâre bringing pets or young children.
Close enough to attractions while far enough away to separate from the busier areas. Even though there were cabins next door, the cabin setting made it seem very private.
Morven was a great property that was perfect for our family vacation. We had a group of 8 and everyone had a good experience. It was great having plenty of bathroom space, and the bedrooms were adequate size. Good kitchen set-up (could use some more silverware) with nice utensils. There are several houses nearby, but we felt like we had plenty of privacy. This house is very close to many fun touristy places, and the back entrance into the Great Smoky Mountain National Park was about 10 minutes away. We loved the location and would rent this house again.
We had a great stay at the Morven over the Easter holiday! The cabin is just as advertised. Itâs in a great location with lots of daily visits by the neighborhood bears! Itâs well stocked with the kitchen having everything that you need. Had a small issue but the team took care of it very professionally.
Title: Unforgettable Stay in the Heart of the Smokies!I canât say enough good things about our stay at this beautiful cabin in the Smoky Mountains! From the moment we arrived, everything exceeded our expectations. The cabin was spotless, cozy, and so well-appointedâit truly felt like a home away from home. Waking up to the stunning mountain views every morning was absolutely magical.The location was perfectâpeaceful and secluded, yet just a short drive to all the attractions in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The hot tub on the deck was a dream after a day of hiking, and the fireplace made evenings feel extra special.Our hosts were incredibly welcoming and responsive, making sure we had everything we needed. You can tell they really care about creating a great experience.Highly recommend this cabin to anyone looking for a peaceful, memorable escape. Weâll definitely be coming back!
We had a wonderful time in this beautiful cabin located perfectly in the mountain tops. Close to a walking trail, dog friendly with all the amenities. The beds were all very comfortable with private baths which made it comfortable for everyone. The mountain views in the front and back of cabin were breathtaking. Our overall experience was exceptional and we hope to rent this cabin in the future.
Cabin was spacious and comfortable. Plenty of room for all 10 of us. Loved all the bathrooms, no fights . Very quiet area and not to far but just far enough out. Very easy navigate.
The cabin was nice and it was a great location. The view to the outside was ok, you have to go outside to really get the view. The huge windows in the front of the cabin face other cabins. I thought it would be more secluded and you could look out back to a nice view. No biggie though. There was a large infestation of lady bug looking creatures. This definitely needs to be addressed, my kids were waking up with lady bugs crawling all over them, in their beds and in their suitcases. All in all it was a comfortable place to stay with comfortable beds and enough room for 10 of us. We brought 3 dogs and one of them is a service dog which I disclosed before I booked and made sure this was ok. then after we left I got an email saying there were undisclosed pets. If I came back to TN Iâd probably look for another cabin, with a better view from the inside and no lady bugs! And a fire pit that the whole group can sit around. Also the fireplace inside is fake. That was a huge disappointment.
Absolutely beautiful cabin in a great location. The cabin was immaculately clean and had everything we needed for our stay!! It was perfect for our family vacation of 8 adults and 4 kids under 3 years old. We even got to see several bears during our stay. Will absolutely stay here again in the future!! Highly recommend!!
Our extended family of 5 enjoyed greatly our experience of staying at the Grouse Ridge cabin. It fit us all perfectly! We loved having âdown timeâ in the cabin ⊠from playing cards and games together to having a hot dog roast and enjoying the meal on the back deck area. The cabin was furnished with everything needed. Just the perfect spot to fit all our needs!
