Excellent property. Very clean and spacious for our group of 16. If there is one flaw it’s the dining room table. The surface of the table needs refinished. We covered with a table cloth and it was fine. We even had a mama bear and 2 cubs in the distance.

After being notified of a problem air conditioner, Management worked diligently to remedy the situation in a timely manner, Blissful Bear was a delightful place for a family reunion. Accommodations were very good - exception being high beds on main level. It was a bit difficult for seniors who cannot otherwise climb stairs, especially with the log side rails, but it was manageable. The views were incredible, especially at night watching the lights on mountains across the way. Beautiful entrance to the community; well maintained streets. Recommend this!

The overall experience was great! The house was very clean and spacious. The emails do advise you of needing to replace paper products once gone, but we didn’t expect to only have 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom. Make sure you have it on your initial grocery store list! The water pressure was hit or miss during our stay. Customer service did promptly send a maintenance man to fix it, but it was still not as expected for a 6 bedroom home. The other issue we had was a leaky roof and doors during a rainstorm. Luckily we didn’t have any of our belongings in the path of the water. The views from the back decks were absolutely stunning.

Blissful Bear was absolutely perfect in every way! We had 14 family members stay here from age 4 to 67, there was something for everyone! This cabin was very clean, the kitchen well stocked, the pool was clean and everything worked. We didn't have to call management for anything except to pick up our trash when the cans were full, they came right away to get it. We would definitely stay here again.

Beautiful cabin, we had 17 people which included 7 kids. Plenty of room for the family. Had a few issues that disappointed us, first they were there at the cabin when we arrived trying to fix the air conditioning in the swimming pool area. They had to wait for a chip to come in, which never arrived during our stay. So very hot swimming. There were 3 tvs that wouldn’t work, I reported this and they said someone would come fix them but that never happened. The grill wouldn’t work, they sent someone to look at it and he said we needed a new grill, we were never able to grill out. That was disappointing.

We had a great family vacation and really enjoyed the cabin. The cabin met everyone of our expectations. Prior to our booking we confirmed that there was a community pool, however there is not, and a few family members were disappointed. The indoor pool was enjoyed and larger than anticipated. Any small request we had during our week stay was immediately taken care of. We were very surprised to find out upon arrival that there were two refrigerators which accommodated our family of fifteen. The grill is the only thing that should be replaced as the burners and grill grates are shot. Also the directions (even from Google Maps) are incorrect.

I rented this cabin to celebrate my husband's 40th birthday. This place is great. It is so peaceful and kid friendly. It far exceeded my expectations. The location is close to pigeon forge where there is plenty of things to do. The only thing I regret is not having enough time to enjoy the house as well as all the activities near by. I had no problems with the cabin at all

The Blissful Bear cabin was a very accommodating venue for our family reunion. We enjoyed the indoor pool, theater room, electronic games, and the beautiful mountain views. That being said, there are issues the owner should address for this to be considered a premier venue and to support the rent being charged. Many of these issues have been shared with ITrip, along with photographs. These issues include: 1. The refrigerator’s ice maker does not work and one shelf is supported with several pieces of duct tape and another with a piece of wood. 2. HVAC air filter was completely clogged and upon calling ITrip a maintenance person replaced it. 3. The wood step into the pool area is slippery when wet and one guest slipped and had a bad fall. This step needs to be resurfaced with an abrasive material. 4. Water leak from the roof that entered the Wolf room’s closet ceiling, and I immediately notified you of this damage. 5. Significant dent in the stainless-steel panel of the dishwasher. 5. Veneer on the dining room table has peeled badly making it look terrible and difficult to clean, and both benches are broken. 6. Electric mixer in the kitchen does not work nor do the two manual can openers. 7. The pool toy equipment balls are flat and the water basketball stand leaks making it useless. If you intend to provide these items, they should be in good working condition. 8. The dining room smoke detector is dislodged from the ceiling and likely in-operable. 9. Indian room toilet seat was extremely loose which made it necessary for me to repair before it could be used. Also, various other bathroom accessories in the cabin are loose. 10. I agree with the October 2020 reviewer who stated there needs to be a guide to use the televisions. This has not been provided. 11. General housekeeping is lacking as the ceiling fans were very dirty and the floors had a dirt film making our socks black. In closing, it is understood that damage will occur over time by various guests; however, as indicated by the number of issues, more should be done.

The cabin was extremely large and well structured to allow privacy but also gathering in the main spaces! The views this cabin leaves you with are hard to explain! Amazing! The cabin was full of functional items in the kitchen that helped make meals easy to prepare! I would recommend adding a griddle or larger pan for breakfast! We loved the arcade downstairs! The floors were filthy and left most of our bare feet extremely dirty! The swimming pool was a little green and full of dead centipedes! We called iTrip and got someone out ASAP to clean it and spray for the bugs. They immediately responded and took care of the issues. Overall, I would recommend this place if the the few cleaning issues get resolved with the cleaning crew.

The Cabin itself was perfect. We had 7 people in our group and as the cabin slept 24 it was more than spacious. The family room and kitchen were very big. Able to entertain our whole group easily. The game room, theatre room and pool were fantastic. Everything was decorated very nicely. While we did encounter a couple minor issues, a phone call was placed and they were both quickly resolved. We were very pleased with the emergency/customer service.

We loved the cabin, however on our second day the pool was looking cloudy and began to smell, on the 4th day we just shut the door and locked it so the kids could not go in there, it stunk so bad, like an old pond, very disappointed with the pool maintenance, especially upset for the kids.

Really nice, clean facilities. Good layout for activities and sleeping. Well placed for access to towns and shows. Complaints: dishwasher was leaking, was reported, repairman came but did not have part so he said he would come the next day--did not come. No hot water in shower in one of the upstairs bedrooms--sink had hot water. Biggest complaint--you have said in your basic information that you do not want customers younger than 25--you also need to say that you do not want customers over 75. Most people over 75 have problems climbing steps so they want to stay on ground floor. Both rooms on the ground floor had beds that were almost impossible to get into. (Our pregnant daughter-in-law stayed in the other ground floor bedroom, and she had a hard time getting into the bed, also.) They were too high--then the log around them created even more of a problem. My husband and I are 82 years old with rheumatoid arthritis and Parkinson's disease. We gave this trip as a Christmas gift to our children and grandchildren but we hoped to enjoy not only their company, but also the facilities. Please, either warn older folk not to come or change the bed!!!!!!!!

The cabin had ample space in every room even the bathrooms. The cabin was very impressively decorated and furnished. The inclosed swimming pool area was awesome (clean & spacious, plenty of towels & noodles and even a ball & net for water volleyball!) The theater room...nice... spacious comfortable The three levels of porches with plenty of rocking chairs was great for relaxing (right on time) The game room was spacious with plenty of games and a pool table. We had loads of fun in the game room.The Jacuzzi was very, very nice with the changing color water was the cleanest I've ever been in.Most utensils needed were thereAmple parking was a plus.Most of all, the view was S P E C T A C U L A R !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!COMMENTS_Safety grip bars in the showers would be saferThe beds were very comfortable but the first floor level beds were very high up off the floor (hard to climb in) a stepping stool would be a courtesy and appreciated by visitors to the cabin.The cabin was clean but I did notice that the stairs needed sweepingThe cabin has a iron but no ironing boardWe had a great time there and loved the cabin.

We really enjoyed our stay here; the amenities were amazing and the check in and out process was simple and convenient. The pool was so much bigger than other in cabin pools (and I’ve stayed in a few Gatlinburg pool cabins). It was really cool that they had a thermostat that controlled each level of the house. The ticket package was also a pretty sweet deal, considering it is included in the price of the cabin. We were extremely happy with it and can’t wait to visit next year!

The house was very nice. The dishwasher leaked. Poor tv service. No trash pick up. We had to stack trash on top of cans and we came out of the house and had 3 bears in it, very scary! They were building more cabins and you couldnt drive down the mountain for there trucks, vans and concrete trucks, very congested, nails left in the roads. Woke up us and our kids every morning at 7am beating and banging.

Great cabin to rent! Very new! Bedrooms were great and loved how each bedroom had a theme. There were plenty of plates, cups and silverware for a large group. The only problem was that there were only 2 locked bear proof garbage bins and those were full by mid week. For a 6 bedroom house, really need a mid-week garbage pick up or more garbage cans. We did experience a problem with the TV in the family room and the management company sent someone out within hours to fix it. Movie theater was great and you could connect to your amazon prime/netflix account for movies. Each room had a TV with Roku and the remotes were smartly labeled for each room so they wouldn't get confused. We enjoyed the pool and the game room. Loved the old school multi game arcade and the Golden Tee plus the air hockey table got a lot of use. Overall a great cabin and we'd rent from here again!
