We would like to personally welcome you to our family's log cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains. We are very excited for you to stay in our dream home with amazing views and hope that you and your family have a wonderful vacation and enjoy it as much as our family does. We are pretty unique hosts because we actually built this cabin as our dream home in late 2021. As the coffee table photo album will show, we did a lot of the work ourselves: all the stonework for the kitchen island, floor to ceiling fireplace and mantle; all the railings on the two-60-foot decks; the knotty pine tongue and groove in the lower level; the tile flooring; all the painting and landscaping, and so-so much more. My wife Jill and I will be your hosts and are available to answer any questions you have prior to or during your stay at The Bear's Den, but we will leave you alone to relax once you have checked in and are all settled so you can enjoy your vacation. Jill has thought of everything when it comes to stocking the house for you, so you are as comfortable in our cabin as you are in your own home. We hope your family will enjoy The Bear's Den as much as ours does. Kurt & Jill Baltutat
