Great place for a group
Had a group of teens and we really enjoyed this property. Game room was really fun and house is secluded. Plenty of room and the kitchen is well equipped to cook. Not too far from Deep Creek

Great Secluded Place with game room.
House as advertised! Owner was awesome and helpful. House is modern and clean. Just 4 friends that went and we hung out in the game room every night. Only negatives are the curvy narrow roads and no tvs in the bedrooms.

Perfect Family Adventure
We really enjoyed our short getaway and wished it had been longer. However, the home was just what we needed to entertain the family on our Pilar Express adventure. Thank you!

Comfortable home, convenient to town with beautiful views
My husband and I were looking for a home that was close to the Polar Express. We’re so glad we chose The Bear Necessities. The beds were comfy, the house was clean and well equipped. Our grandchildren loved the bunk room and we all enjoyed the game room. The yard gave us some privacy and we were close to town. Would definitely stay again :)

Wonderful stay
Our family was in town for the Polar Express which is about a 15 minute drive. Very secluded home in gated community- loved location and the beautiful landscape. Very clean and loved that it was decorated for Christmas! We had a wonderful time!

Peaceful, Relaxing Home!
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Necessities! It was clean & comfortable. My 4 young kids loves the bunk and game room. The property is also fun for exploring during a day of rest at the house. It is also close to many day trips to local attractions in the Smoky Mountain area.

Autumn Getaway With Lifelong Friends
This house was one of the best ones we have ever rented on VRBO, and we have rented many over the years. We lacked for nothing. Great location, lots to see and do in the area. Nivea was easy to work with and promptly answered questions. You can't go wrong by renting this property!
