My wife and I recently stayed at Parkside for a three day weekend culminating in an on-location…read morewedding event. The facility itself was exactly what we expected it to be - a rustic lodge overlooking some beautiful mountain views. The wedding definitely turned out to be memorable, and that is the important thing! The only "challenge" with this venue is the next-door neighbors, who clearly have issues living in proximity to a commercial resort. This was made evident by the posted signs viewable from the rear balconies whereby the neighbors indicated something about the need for guests to keep noise down and be respectful because people live here, etc. Well ... these same neighbors were plainly resentful of the fact that normal party music was played at the wedding reception (music that properly ended at 10:30 pm) and were intent on underscoring the point by BLARING loud outdoor radio music until 2:30 AM and then starting up again at 5:30 AM so as to disturb the guests' ability to sleep. Needless to say, my wife and I were happy to leave this establishment bright and early the next morning. I get it, and it should come to no one's surprise, there are a few "Hatfield and McCoy"-types up in 'dem 'der hills. However, I do believe the resort has some obligation to deal with this problem in a meaningful way, for the benefit of all prospective guests.

Cabin is very clean but the washing machine is broken and was supposed to be fixed but nope. Could have used some towel cleaning since we are staying 9 days, still have some days to go so we will see. The hot tub is super fresh and clean and it has a Tv too, that's a big yes for me! My only problem is the kitchen. It's horrible... the worst appliances I ever used (ok almost). The knives are a joke, I can't cut anything, oh wait doesn't matter there is no cutting board. No extra paper towels or trash bags. Fine but you could have told us... the faucet comes loose every time you turn the water on and half of the cabinets need to be re-hinged. When cooking for 9 people the kitchen is kind of important. They have a pool and "game room" and a mini grill open on the property, it's not really for me but I could see people liking it. Cabin is supposed to have parking for 5 cars but that must be very small cars, I would say 4. The views are amazing and you are very close to the happenings. Dollywood is 20 mins away.

My family and I were in town from Lousiville for my daughters cheer competition and was looking to stay an extra day and enjoy the nearby Sevierville/Gatlinburg/pigeon forge areas. I found this company by using Yelp actually. They had a very reasonably priced cabin called the honey bear hollow that sleeps 8-12 people. Me having a family of 7 made it a perfect fit. So you book through the site. Place a credit card on file and pay half up and they will take the second half a week or so before your arrival date. The day of check in You will receive a text notification with an address and pass code for the cabin and the trash cans outside. The day before check out they will text you checking out info and cleanup rules. Our honey bear hollow cabin was beautiful and very nice. You have a covered porch with two rocking chairs and you walk into a nice spacious living room and a kitchen. Off that main floor to the immediate right of the kitchen is a king sized master bedroom and full bathroom with a dual shower head walk in shower. Off the backside of the kitchen is a locked door with a covered patio area with your own personal hot tub. As soon as you walk in where the living room area is a spiral staircase. You get to the top and immediately in front of you is another bathroom with a walk in shower. To the left is a loft area with a pool table and another king sized bed. To the right is another room that features a queen sized bed, a fun retro arcade machine with several classic arcade games and another full sized bed. On our trip here in March of 2022 we got to experience both warm weather cabin life and snowfall cabin life. On our first day here we had beautiful sunny weather up in the high 70's. The next morning we woke up to about 4 inches of snow. I'll give the grounds crew credit. The roads were salted the day before when it was sunny and when we woke up the next morning to a mountain winter wonderland the roads and Drive ways were completely cleared. The surrounding area of the cabin site has a few neighbors. Some closer than others but you still have a ton of privacy. The grounds in the very back has a cute small log cabin chapel and playground. Throughout the site is cool little decor of equipment and even a fake "general" or "thrift" store to give it that southern Sevierville feel to the place. The kids and us loved our cabin. Very spacious and comfortable beds. Nice place to play pr relax and has TVs in each room and in a beautiful area. They really enjoyed the personal hot tub as well. Outside we did have our own grill so if you want to cook out that is an option as well. If I had to critique anything it would be that the pool table in the loft is in a small and tight area. The pool sticks are too long to get off any shot you want without bumping a wall. The TVs all had directv so you had cable but it would be nice if they had a smart tv for streaming services. Overall this was a fantastic and well priced experience and visit. In most of our out of town cheer comps we have to stay in specific hotels near the competition sights. On this trip we was able to book what we wanted to and this massive and fun cabin was actually cheaper per night for a family of 7 like Mine. So we were thrilled with everything!

Our family spends Labor Day weekend together in Gatlinburg every year--17 of us traveling from…read moreTennessee, Ohio, Alabama, and Kentucky. We don't come for the attractions; we come to spend three days together under one roof, so for us, the cabin IS the vacation. We had previously stayed with American Patriot Getaways and had been trying to book Don't Blink for two years, specifically because of the bowling alley and game room. Last year, I booked it the day reservations opened--a full year in advance. Our kids and grandkids had been looking forward to it ever since. Don't Blink is marketed as a "Luxury Plus" property, with the private bowling alley prominently featured. We paid $4,546 for our three-night Friday-to-Monday stay. At 11 a.m. Friday, we received a text saying the cabin was ready early. When we arrived around 4 p.m., however, we immediately discovered the bowling alley and skee-ball machine had no balls and were unusable. I called immediately and was initially told maintenance might come that evening or Saturday morning. No one came Friday. Saturday morning passed with no technician and no proactive communication. When I called again around noon Saturday, I was told they "only have one maintenance technician," it was Labor Day weekend, and other cabins had more serious problems, including guests without water. Of course guests without water should be prioritized. But having only one maintenance technician available during a busy holiday weekend is the company's staffing problem, not the customer's. If you rent this many cabins during a holiday weekend, you should have the resources to support them. I called AGAIN later Saturday and asked for a manager. Instead of a call, I received a TEXT saying a manager wasn't available and someone would contact me after the weekend. Maintenance finally arrived around 5 p.m. Saturday--approximately 25 hours after we reported the problem. Previous guests had apparently jammed the bowling balls in the machine. The technician fixed it and returned the skee-ball balls. Things break. We understand that. What I don't understand is why this wasn't discovered before a cabin marked "ready" was turned over to the next guests--especially when it involved one of the property's signature amenities. More importantly, it was the customer service that made this experience so disappointing. There was no urgency or proactive communication. We made every follow-up call and were made to feel as though expecting the amenities we paid for to work was unreasonable. After our stay, a supervisor texted and offered $350 for the inconvenience. I declined. This wasn't about trying to get money back. We paid $4,546 for three nights in a "Luxury Plus" cabin. I don't think expecting a clean, properly inspected property, working advertised amenities, and responsive customer service is unreasonable. There were cleanliness and maintenance issues as well. Half the TV remotes didn't work, the master bathroom smelled like urine, one bed still had candy wrappers in it, and our feet were black from the floors each day. The trash bin was also far too small for a cabin accommodating up to 22 people, and guests must call to request pickup--another unnecessary inconvenience for a large-group property. We didn't expect perfection. Equipment breaks and holiday weekends are busy. What matters is how a company responds. Seventeen members of our family traveled from four states for a weekend we'd planned a year in advance. The bowling alley was eventually fixed, but American Patriot Getaways' response--and the feeling that our concerns simply didn't matter--is what I'll remember most. For $4,546 and a property marketed as "Luxury Plus," both the cabin and the customer service fell far short of reasonable expectations.

Was clean and the kids really enjoyed the indoor pool. Lovely area and quiet. Plenty of room inside for the whole family. 1st negative - First night we noticed that there were not any pillow cases on any of the beds, they were delivered later in the evening. 2nd negative - The sink in the master bedroom on the first floor would not drain. This caused some minor issues since everyone used this bathroom when on the main level. We had to wait until late afternoon the next day for a repair which included replacing the complete drain and pipes below sink. The repair person was very professional. 3rd negative - It would be nice to have hangers in the closet and some hooks in bathrooms to hang personal items. As we were preparing to leave on our last morning - getting all items packed for 4 kids under 7 and four adults, I inadvertently left my expensive Dyson hair dryer in a drawer in the main bathroom and to top that off, my husband left his wedding ring on top of the dresser. I contacted the Bear Tracks management number to report our mishap. They stated that they would have the cleaners check the cabin. Two more times I emailed and was told the items were not found. I'm pretty upset at myself for forgetting my Dyson dryer, but I am really disappointed with the Bear Tracks team. I do not want to make accusations against them, but I find it really shady that they just disappeared and the cleaning team "couldn't find" them.

They have refused to take responsibility for multiple serious issues during our stay and have since made false claims about what was offered or resolved. The only "accommodation" they ever provided was an offer for amusement park tickets (which we declined), later replaced with a mere $200 refund. This was before the incomplete installation of a portable cooler that leaked water all over the floor--causing my special needs daughter to slip and fall. Instead of addressing the hazard, they accused us of disconnecting the unit, which is completely false. To make matters worse, after five days of using the same entry code without issue, we were locked out of our own cabin and told we "no longer knew the code." The entire experience was unprofessional, dismissive, and far from what any guest should expect--especially from a company managing vacation properties. I would strongly caution anyone considering Bear Tracts Cabins. Their lack of accountability, misleading statements, and disregard for guest safety speak volumes about how they operate.

It also lost water by Friday evening, so I had to fill it with the hose. It did eventually heat back up but it took hours. - The WiFi was just okay. There were times I wasn't sure it was working. -The TV wouldn't work the first night. I did some updates and I was able to get Netflix mostly working but the other apps required a login -The firepit area was not very well maintained. There were weeds and the stumps for seats were falling apart. -We had to drive to the pool. I didn't realize that the pool was so far away; I thought we could've walked to it when I booked the cabin. Overall, I give this cabin a B+. I probably would've given it a B but we saw a small bear on the property which was really cool, so it got a +. Great location, would've been very romantic if I was there with my wife and not my son. The cabin was really neat and it was fun that it was a "treehouse". Sidenote: We did book some activities with the Xplorie discount. They were really good deals. If you want rafting, I would book the upper river though. I booked the lower river because it seemed more family friendly, but it was really just floating down the river. My son said it was a little boring. And if you are looking for a hike, I recommend Grotto Falls.
