    I was looking into this cabin. We (Tara and I) stayed in an ERA cabin this past year and had a great experience. We are limited to finding cabins that are pet friendly (since Walle and Bella will be coming with us). Black Bears Hideaway sleeps 12 and I remember driving past it last year. Paved roads up to the front door IIRC and there are plenty of other cabins right in the area.

    Also right next to it is this gem:
    http://erainthesmokies.com/bear_feet_adventure.html
    or
    http://erainthesmokies.com/cub_s_crossing.html

    Both sleep 10 people.

    Black Bears Hideaway would be $95+tax per person for a 5 night stay *pay for 4 nights, get the 5th night free*
    Both Bears Feet Adventure and Cubs Crossing would be $104+tax per person for a 5 night stay

    Yes kiddies thats right 95-104 dollars per person for the whole weekend, thats a hell of a deal. Hotel rooms in the area start from 59.99 per night with a quality hotel room going for 89.99+ per night. These cabins are 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg, 12 miles from Pigeon Forge and about 35 miles east of the Dragon.

    After Feb 1st:

    If you are on the list and have paid, you are guaranteed a spot in a cabin.

    If you are on the list and have not paid, you are not guaranteed a spot in a cabin.

    If you are not on the list but want to pay, you will either be refunded your money or you will take the place of a person who was on the list but didnt pay.

    If you are not on the list and you didnt pay, you will be staying at a hotel and/or missing out on the best meet of the year.

    Sound good?

    I'm usually there around that time every year.
    I actually prefer not to come when there is any kind of a big meet.

    I want 127 all for myself.
