My boyfriend and I loved the cabin. We took our little Shi-poo with us and he loved it as well. It was private and we used the hot tub and jetted bath every night. The only negative was additional fees that I believe the site added after booking so all I would suggest is add an additional 120 to each night so you can budget properly. Overall Hey bear cabin was great!

The host was great for communication etc. The only thing we were not prepared for the driveway up to the cabin - it should be noted there are 30 steps to climb up to the cabin-it does however have 2 landings.(our pups enjoyed every step - they had a blast climbing up and down them) The driveway is fairly narrow and quite steep-we had never been to the Gatlinburg area before and did not quite expect that-thank goodness there was not snow and we were in a 3/4 ton truck so not exactly compact size for maneuvering the drive and turning around up by cabin. A few boards were rotted out around the steps but nothing that would be of a safety concern. The inside of the cabin was exactly as pictured-overall very nice. It really deserved 5 stars however the driveway/turn around is the only reason I gave it 4 stars. Just be prepared for that-it was very convenient to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge for our stay. The host even allowed us to have our 4 boston terriers which they and us greatly appreciated someone working with us on 4 dogs. Definitely would recommend this for your trip and book a zipline(it was so totally worth it)!!

STAY AWAY FROM THIS RENTAL. Unit was absolutely disgusting and filthy. Supposedly “cleaning crew” was there right before we were. Yeah right. Check out the photos below. Toothpaste in sink, dirty floors, dust everywhere. Hot tub and hot water heater not working. How do you magically clean with no hot water? Host clearly is running a scam here. Don’t waste your hard earned money on this dump. See the pictures and decide for yourself. And to top it all off, AC system is total crap.
Nice toothpaste. Sure looks clean
Just a few bugs
Great HVAC

Relaxing Getaway

We enjoyed our stay. The cabin was gorgeous and comfy. The hottub was amazing after walking so much. The drive is step, but we did see the bear family on the way. My only complaints is the book of House Rules has some discrepancies and needs updated to avoid confusion. And I do not feel we should have to do any type of cleaning duties, such as gathering all linens/towels, taking out trash, etc, when I was charged a 120 cleaning fee. That is the purpose of the cleaning company.

Disgusting!!!

This place was absolutely filthy! My wife and I stay at properties all over the Gatlinburg area. Usually 8-10 times a year. This was by far the nastiest cabins we've ever been too. I would say stayed at but we didn't stay. After walking in and around we found that it was covered with filth. Couches covered with dog hairs to the point you couldn't set down. There were human hairs all over the bed and bathrooms. Beddings were stained and disgusting. The whole house stunk of dog piss all over. The hot tub had hairs all over the top and dirt in the bottom along with green slime around the top. We communicated with the host with no resolution other than him saying he'd look into it. Looking at this property thats about the response I figured we'd get. Some people just don't give a damn and Casey is definitely one. Just a word of advise. Stay anywhere but here!!

Good stay

While the property and location were ideal. The house had not been cleaned thoroughly. Dust build up, dead bugs in blankets, and even Christmas decorations still out. There was what appeared to be a small water leak that dripped down to the guest bathroom. Weeds had over grown onto the steps up into the property. Most of the games either didn’t work properly or were missing pieces. Overall, not a bad experience, but it left a little to be desired.

Weekend Getaway

This cabin was the perfect retreat for me and my partner during our weekend getaway. It was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The only small note I’d mention is that we occasionally heard what sounded like birds nesting in the master bedroom wall. It might just be from the surrounding vegetation, but it could be worth checking out just in case. Overall, though, we had a wonderful stay!

Review

The home is clean but lacks sufficient lighting at night, and the stairs are quite steep. They can be slippery when wet, so it is recommended to add traction tape for safety.The driveway is poorly lit, which made it challenging to locate the home during nighttime visits.While the hot tub is nice, the keypad on its door does not illuminate, making it difficult to see and operate at night. You need to tap it just right for it to work properly.

VERY disappointing

Immediately upon walking in to the cabin it was apparent that it was going to be an uncomfortable stay for us. The entire cabin reeked of dog urine. The cabin looked like it had not been cleaned in a very long time. My wife and I travel often and never have we stayed in a place as filthy as this cabin. There was dust and dirt EVERY WHERE. In the upstairs bathroom, there was tooth paste splatters all over the wall. Dishes in the cabinet had visible food on them. The towels in the cabin appear to have originally been white, but were in fact grey, dingy and wrinkled. It honestly looked like they had not been washed since the last visitors. The hot tub, that we cautiously chose not to use, smelled like mold. We ended up going into town and purchasing our own towels, cleaning supplies, candles, air freshener and toilet paper. Even still, my wife was uncomfortable the entire stay. And to top it all off, about an hr after we checked out, I realized I left a few pairs of pants and shirts in the upstairs closet. I immediately sent a message and asked if they could be sent to me at my expense. I had to send a couple messages before I got a response. Even then, I was told that the cleaning crew did not find them. I replied that they were left in the closet. I stopped getting replies after that. I guess we can count my clothes as gone. Overall, this was an unpleasant experience. If these owners truly use a cleaning crew, they need to find a new one!!!
