A Perfect Stay
Stayed 7 days ending August 2018
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
This home was perfect! Nestled away atop a beautiful mountain with great views and freshly paved road that led to it. The home was well set up and prepared for any weather we encountered with pool, cards, ping pong, etc. The cookware and furnishings made us feel like our money was well spent. The owners did a great job on the home outdoor space that is both screened in and open. Would definitely recommend and will stay here again in the future.

Best house EVER!!!
Stayed 3 days ending October 2018
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
Wow!!! This house has everything you need. We have stayed in a lot of houses in Maggie for about 25 years and this by far is the best! I brought a griddle with me to make pancakes. They have one! Crock Pot, they have one! Even a Kitchen Aide mixer! Plenty of room for people to eat dinner, sit in the living room and lots or room in the game room down stairs. Just be aware there might not be cell signal. We have AT&T and could only text. But if you have WiFi calling on your phone that worked. There is a house phone too. Overall this house is the best. We would love to stay here again.

Great place to get away
Stayed 4 days ending May 2019
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
This is a well appointed house in a great location to get away. Beautiful view of the mountains from the back porch. Loved listening to the wild turkeys talking to each other and the babbling creek. We really enjoyed the screened-in porch with fire pit. There's plenty of room for a large group and the kitchen has everything you would need and then some.The road to the cabin is well maintained, but steep and curvy in some spots. I wouldn't want to drive it in the winter. It takes about 10 - 15 minutes to get to the cabin from the main road.

Perfection!
Stayed 3 days ending December 2016
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
We stayed at Bear Necessaties for a family vacation (6 adults and 3 children). The house was absolutely perfect. Plenty of room. High-end appliances, comfortable beds and great showers. The views were gorgeous and we loved the screened in porch and fire pit. The kitchen was well stocked with pots, pans, utensils and anything else you would need. The bottom floor was perfect for the kids--pool table, plenty of room and a bedroom with 2 twin beds. My only complaint is the lack of insulation between the bedrooms upstairs. My parents noted they could hear us above them too. But that was minor compared to all the positives of the cabin.
The cabin is about 10-15 drive up from the rental office and about 10-20 minutes from any type of grocery store. So there is no quick run to the store. There is a park on the premise and my children and niece loved it. Great place for a family vacation. If we head this way again, we'd stay here.

Family Vacation
Stayed 7 days ending August 2017
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
The rental was the great. We have rented a lot of cabins but this was the nicest we have ever stayed in. The cabin was nicely furnished. Everything in this cabin was high quality. The kitchen was furnished with everything we needed to prepare meals. Everyone had plenty of room and lots to do in this cabin. My husband, son and son n law had some late night pool tournaments. The men claimed the down stairs area and called it the man cave. I would highly recommend this cabin. Also there are many things to do within an hours drive from this cabin. We did the Biltmore Estate, Smokey Mountain National Park, Bryson City, Cataloochee, Grand Father Mountain, Linville Cavers, etc.

We came to Maggie Valley for golf. Four separate bedrooms was ideal for 4 golfers. House was perfect.
Great screened porch with gas fire pit was very relaxing. Pool table room was actually big enough to play pool. 3 separate A/C zones. The owners have thought of everything!

Bear Necessities was wonderful!
Stayed 5 days ending July 2018
Overall satisfaction: Services from rental manager: Cleanliness: Location: Property condition:
We were in Maggie Valley for a family reunion and we couldn't have found a better house! 4 couples and all loved it! Just beautiful! It was great to be able to sit on the screened in porch and enjoy a fire in July! Quite a treat for people from Texas and Mississippi! Coffee in the morning on the porch with the beautiful view was so nice! The house was clean, furnished beautifully, and had everything we needed and more! The only thing we had an issue with was maneuvering the windy mountain roads to the house after dark. Quite challenging! Thankfully we only had to deal with that 2 of the 5 nights we were there. We highly recommend Bear Necessities!
