Tim and Michelle was really helpful and responsive to any of my questions. They take great care of their cabin and they added extra touches to make you feel like you are home. The coke in the refrigerator and moonpies was a added bonus. They are the best host and hostess I have had. if you are thinking of staying here please do!

Thirsty Bear Den is wonderful. It’s the perfect size and had everything we needed. The fenced in backyard was perfect for our two dogs. We cooked most of our meals so it was great to have a kitchen that was so well stocked. It's the perfect location, about 20 minutes from both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge! Tim was helpful and proactive with his communication.

We had a wonderful stay! The home had everything we needed, not only for us but also for our pups. The fenced-in yard was perfect, and we loved the spacious living room for relaxing together. The king-size bed was very comfortable, and the mattress was great. There were so many little touches throughout the house that truly made it feel like a home away from home. We visit this area often, and this has definitely been one of the top places we’ve stayed. Highly recommend!

Tim was an amazing host. He had the house perfect for my family and our 2 dogs. Was prime location as you are a 10 min drive to downtown Gatlinburg. We had the power go out due to storms and Tim was very helpful with sending us updates from the power company. Power came back that night and he verified everything was working perfectly. The house was so cozy. We loved the Coke theme. Overall Tim’s place is a perfect place for you and your family, especially if you had dogs!!
