Charles & Marie Norman , From Sebastian, Florida Thanks so much for the perfect Christmas. We were looking for a real Smoky Mountain Christmas and that is just what we found at Lazy Bear Lodge. The Christmas decorations (inside and out)were the best surprise. The cabin was fully stocked and beautifully decorated. It went far beyond our expectations. We could not have asked for anything more! Our stay was topped off by an unexpected snow fall. Our "Florida" children got to experience snow for the first time. Everyone in our family enjoyed our time there, from the children to the older adults. We plan on coming back for summer!!!!

Sue Sullivan / Cathy deYampert, From Tallahassee ,FL/ Perry, GA Both Cathy and I feel that by far "Bear Trax" is the prettiest of all. Access to the cabin was easy with it being at top of mountain. The location was exactly what we both were looking for with Bryson City being a quaint town but close in proximity to the entrance of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. I prefer the winter where Cathy likes the summer to do tubing, rafting and hiking. We saw snow two days and it was just gorgeous. The cabin was decorated beautifully with the Christmas tree inside and outside along with garland/lights draped on three sides of the cabin. The garland/lights on the back porch was so relaxing to just look at from the den. The hospitality shown while we were there indicates how dedicated and concerned the Williams' were in our having a wonderful stay. We appreciate them sharing such a beautiful, decorated, and well designed cabin and we have made reservations to return in July, 2006. A thank you goes out to the Williams'.

Christine, From New Jersey My husband and I and two other couples vacationed at Bear's Den and it was an absolutely wonderful experience. There was an over abundance of room so that no one felt ontop of each other. Everything was very clean when we arrived and the spa was definitely a plus after a long day of activies. One of the best things about the cabin was the location. It is very near to a lot of the activities we did, such as whitewater rafting, tubing, fishing, horseback riding, and bingo. We will definitely be returning in the near future.

Pat Geagan and Kathy Moose, From Alaska and North Carolina Pat and I fell in love with our cabin. We felt at home from the moment we walked into the door.We will stay again and have recomended Bear Necessities to our family and friends.

Bev Sessoms, From Edgewater, Fl Bobby and Tonya, Bear's Den was a wonderful place to enjoy a visit with our GrandKids! We all had lots of fun in your beautifully decorated and relaxing home away from home. I am looking forward to many more times up in the mountians in one of your beautiful cabins. Thanks for the wonderful experience. I am sharing my testimony here in Florida of the great times that can be had in one of your lovely cabins in NC. Bev S. in Edgewater, FL.

Tom and Christine Madigan, From Jamesburg, NJ The Bear's Den cabin was soooo amazing. It was quiet and tucked away, very comfortable inside and outside the cabin. After a 10 hour drive, it was great to soak in the hot tub. We had an amazing 3 year anniversary vacation. Thank you for letting us stay in great cabin. Being from New Jersey you tend to forget how beautiful nature really is, thanks for opening our eyes to that again. We are already planning for next year.

Carol Cazessus, From Merritt Island, FL Thank you for a wonderful 'home' for our family get together. The cabin was everything you said it would be. Very comfortable...we didn't want to leave! The location is great...close to tubing, white water rafting, hiking and biking! The hot tub was wonderful to come 'home' to at the end of our active days!

Brandy Steffen, From Daytona Beach, FL Dear Bob & Tanya, I just wanted to drop you a line to let you know what a wonderful time my husband & I , along with our friends, had staying at the Bear Trax cabin(Feb.10-Feb.13). The cabin is gorgeous with such a warm and cozy feel to it. The black bear decor was beautiful. As soon as we walked in for the first time, the view took all of our breaths away. I could never have imagined a view so amazing. The pictures do not do it justice. . We all went on this trip hoping and praying to see just a little bit of snow because none of us have seen it since we were little and our one friend has never seen snow. The morning following our first night there, we woke up to a wonderful surprise of a fluffy white blanket covering the ground and the trees. We had so much fun just goofing around having snowball fights and making snowmen. We even had a fun and adventurous hike down the backyard to check out the conditions of the roads. Who needs sleds? It's much more fun just to slide down on your butt. :) My favorite part was watching it snow while relaxing in the hot tub. Never in my wildest dreams would I have seen myself doing that. I'm so glad we came across your website and were able to find you. I'm positive you will be hearing from us again. Thank you again for providing us with a wonderful place for a much-needed getaway. Sincerely, Brandy Steffen

Rachel Carroll, From Delco NC We had the most wonderful time. Lazy Bear was more beautiful than we could have ever expected, the view is breath taking, it snowed the second day we were there which was an extra special treat, if you are looking for a picture book dream vacation this cabin is the way to go, we will return for many years to come, to this little slice of heaven.

Dan & Brittany Mitchell, From Seymour, Tennessee Dan & I searched high & low for a "non-Tennessee" cabin before we found Bear Necessities on a web search. Being from the Tennessee side of the Smokies, we have stayed in many a cabin, but never one that we enjoyed as much as yours. The hot tub...the picture windows...the breathtaking views...the mattresses...the jacuzzi...the dreamy privacy...there is too much to list and we loved it all! We were in the heart of nature, soaking in the mountains that we love so much. Your home is a home away from home. I actually cried when we left! Thank you so much for a honeymoon that I will never forget!

Laura Sherman, From Clearwater, Florida WOW! What an amazing place. It was absolutely perfect for our family. Very kid friendly and extremely comfortable. Perfectly appointed! We had a perfect Christmas holiday and would recommend this cabin to others whole heartedly!!

Tammy McGlasson, From Louisville, Ky I found Bear's Den online, had never been to Bryson City N.C. We met some friends from Jacksonville,N.C. The cabin was absolutely wonderful.We had waterwater rafting right by the cabin and alot of activities in the area. We fell in love with the bbq area, we grilled out every night. It was a wonderful stay...Thanks for such a great cabin...

Ric and Ellie , From North Carolina Coincidently, we were schedule to stay at Bear Necessities in July...we found the winter beauty delightful. The decorated Christmas tree and stockings and few other tasteful holiday decorations also added to the charm of this lovely cabin. It is apparent that you care about the enjoyment of vacation time of your guests, and you succeeded. The five of us were quite comfortable with the upper two floors of Bear's Den.

Chuck Boepple, From Manassas, VA After very thorough research, our stay at Bear Necessities turned out to exceed all of our expectations. The views were spectacular and I particularly enjoyed watching the fog pour into the valleys early in the mornings. The home was comfortable and inviting and provided memories that will last a very long time.
