Very nice and communicative host. The cabin is beautiful! He stocked everything you can think of - extra linens, plenty of silverware, dishes etc, first aid kits, soap, shampoo, conditioner... I can't think of it all! This was one of the nicest places we have stayed at! He even went out of his way to send extra details about the area, the cabin, and instructions on how to get in. Just a lovely place and outstanding host.

Everything was perfectly clean and well kept. The bed was incredibly comfortable. There’s not a thing that wasn’t thought of to make this place a more comfortable and pleasant stay. The coffee, drinks, and snacks were a kind touch. I was pleased to even find stain remover in the laundry space. We appreciate your hospitality on our trip to pigeon forge

My family and I loved staying here. It was so "homey." And, the perfect size for the 4 of us (Parents and 2 kids). If we go back to Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge again, we'll definitely check to see if this place is available!

My family loved staying at the thirsty bear lair. The place was clean, quiet, had the best decor, smelled great (I always worry about places that smell like smoke or intense fragrance and this place just smelled clean!) It had everything we needed. The owners even put up multiple birthday signs and left some treats for us and our pup ☺️ They were incredibly responsive and even let us check in 2 hours early! Thank you so much for a great stay!

Beautiful place. Very convenient and comfortable. Nice and quiet. Had everything we needed. Just far enough from away from the city, but close enough to get to restaurants and attractions.

Thirsty Bear Lair is a gorgeous home thoughtfully decorated and furnished. Tim and Michelle provided easy to follow instructions for check in and checkout; interesting information about the construction of their home, and information about things to see and do in the area. Their attention to little details made this such a comfortable and cozy place to stay. It’s extremely clean, and I would recommend this to anyone wanting to visit this area.

We want to thank Tim and Michelle for providing us with a great space for all of us. Including our dog Molly who doesn't really travel well. They gave us snacks, drinks and even treats for our pup. We had a small mishap with our vehicle but they were so helpful in pitching in and even grabbing a mowing crew to help!! The space was clean and homey. I absolutely love the Coca-Cola collection. I would most definitely stay here again since its near where we love to go. If you haven't had the chance to meet these two, please take the time to do so. They were so great. We thank you both so much! Matt, Angela, Jacob and Molly.

Tim and Michelle were wonderful hosts—very friendly, responsive, and helpful. The cabin itself was fantastic, with every detail thoughtfully designed and perfectly executed. Everything was spotless and felt brand new. We felt truly welcome throughout our stay. The location is excellent: just a short, leisurely drive to all the local attractions, yet far enough away to avoid heavy traffic. I highly recommend staying at the Thirsty Bear Lair!
