We had an amazing time staying at this beautiful 3 King suite cabin in the mountains! The layout was perfect for our group each bedroom was spacious, comfortable, and felt like a private retreat. The entire cabin was clean and had that cozy mountain charm we were hoping for.
One of the highlights of the trip was definitely the hot tub! Our kid absolutely loved it and spent every evening soaking and playing. It was the perfect way to relax after a day of exploring.
The setting is private and serene. Whether we were sipping coffee on the porch or unwinding by the fireplace, we felt completely at home.
Highly recommend this cabin for families or groups looking for comfort, space, and a memorable mountain memories. We can’t wait to come back!- Posted: 6/8/2025

We will definitely be booking with Stony Brook Cabins again. They are phenomenal. We only had one issue and that was our tv not working in one of the bedrooms. I called down to the guest services and it was fixed right away. The cabin was very spacious, and it accommodated the 9 people that was on our trip very well. I highly recommend booking a cabin through this rental service!- Posted: 3/16/2025
Thank you for your positive review of Stony Brook Cabins. We are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your stay and that the guest services team was responsive in addressing the issue with the TV. We appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back in the future.Stony Brook Cabins, LLC staff

Enjoyable stay in Bear Essentials! Close to downtown Gatlinburg, nicely decorated and clean. Each of our three couples had their own room and bathroom. Would stay again!- Posted: 10/27/2024
We absolutely loved this cabin! We got to see a family of bears every single day from the front/back porch. It was so spacious and cozy- felt like home. Big beautiful equipped kitchen. Hot tub was amazing. Only little downside was I do feel like the showers could’ve been cleaned better (some hair from the people prior was still in the shower) but that won’t stop us from staying here again. My family really enjoyed our stay and can’t wait to come back one day. Thank you for an amazing stay!- Posted: 10/5/2024
Was a great stay. Linens need to be cleaned better. There were stains on the comforter and hair on a few towels- Posted: 8/3/2024
We had a great time and appreciate the quick response to all of our needs!- Posted: 7/29/2024
This home made a perfect place to land after busy days hiking in the park or exploring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It had everything we needed. The property managers were very responsive to our needs and took care of everything!- Posted: 7/27/2024
Great cabin! Very clean.- Posted: 6/24/2024
We were on a family trip with our 2 adult children and partners. Everyone loved the charming rustic cabin. It looks exactly like the pictures and has everything needed, very clean and fully equipped. The hot tub was sparkling and so inviting at the end of the day. From the main floor deck seemed like living in the treetops among birdsong. The couple in the lower level bedroom thought their mattress was a little lumpy, but the other 2 couoles loved their mattresses from night 1. We were sorry we could not stay longer and highly recommend. A small black bear cub made an appearance munching leaves as we left. So much-needed fun!- Posted: 6/9/2024
The cabin was perfect and we had a great time!- Posted: 5/11/2024

Our group really enjoyed a peaceful stay here.- Posted: 2/18/2024
Awesome Cabin! 5 minutes away from Downtown!- Posted: 1/8/2024
Great location, awesome cabin! There was only two couples with two kids each and it feels like there was room for another couple without kids maybe! Pool table was awesome, kids loved the retro video fame machine! Plenty of room to chill and cook.
Thanks!- Posted: 1/7/2024

Great- Posted: 10/2/2023
We had an amazing time, your cabin was just what we were looking for! The entire cabin was extremely clean anddecorated adorably. Bed were extremely comfortable. Both the main level and downstairs desks had stunning views with lots of seating. We enjoyed sitting on the deck,listening to the sound of the storm. Hot tub was also enjoyable after a day of hiking. Kitchen was well stocked with anything anyone could want or need for cooking any type of meal- it even had a crockpop! The only two small minor things....Too many remotes- made it difficult to watch tv. Also, we never saw a bear, even though all the neighbor cabin visitors did. Thanks for an amazing time-we definitely plan on visiting again with our children & grandchildren.- Posted: 8/28/2023
We had some issues with the TV, but management fixed them. We will rent from you again!- Posted: 8/20/2023
The cabin was amazing! Everything was beautifully decorated and extremely clean! Beds were very comfortable. The kitchen had everything you could ever need to cooking and eating. We had a wonderful visit!- Posted: 8/11/2023
The cabin was awesome. The fact that each floor had a King bed and their own bathroom gave everyone their own privacy. All the amenities were great. Didn't have to want for anything. I would definitely recommend and go back to stay!!- Posted: 7/15/2023
Our cabin was exactly like the customer agent said close to town.- Posted: 6/11/2023
Cabin was as advertised and the communication was great! We would definitely stay again!- Posted: 5/21/2023
Thank you for sharing your home with us! We enjoyed the cabin and look forward to future visits.- Posted: 5/8/2023
We typically like to spend time together as an entire family at various times throughout the year. Black Bear Falls is a great place to stay! The cabin was exactly what we were looking for and provided all the necessary supplies, space and quietness we needed. I’m sure we’ll stay there again. I believe this is the second time we’ve stayed at this particular place. We are thankful!- Posted: 4/15/2023
Plenty of room for our party. Beautiful cabin and woods.- Posted: 4/14/2023

Beatiful cabin. Enjoyed sitting and deinking my coffee on balcony in the am.- Posted: 9/5/2022
Bear Essentials Cabin was decorated so lovely. I felt like I was at home. The view of the mountains made my breakfast on the porch perfect. The beds were so comfortable. My husband and I slept in late every day. The kids and some of the adults loved the arcade machine :). The lower level was so insulated as we did not hear the kids. It was a great place and space for everyone to unwind. Thank you.- Posted: 7/24/2022
