A Bear’s View

The place immediately struck us with the unbelievable view. The cabin was clean and ready for us.

Great cabin, beautiful view, pictures were accurate.

Comfy and nice just like pics

The cabin was beautiful with an amazing view from the balcony! The hot tub was a nice touch to the cabin! We had plenty of room! We also seen bears from the balcony. It was so cool. We see ourselves coming back to this cabin sometime!

This cabin has a lot of space and the views are amazing definitely recommend to visit this cabin.

I loved the cabin the location and really loved the bears and that it was close to the strip downtown Nothing

The house was perfect.Plenty of room for the seven of us. It was clean and we loved the location. It was secluded but not to far away from neighbors. Saw lots of bears. Please don’t feed them. It’s hard not to because they’re so cute. We were told that about 100 are put down due to them being over friendly. I feel there should be better communication about this.

The roads were steep but the neighborhood and house was awesome. Just be aware there are bears. We were there less than 10 minutes and the bears were in the yard. They didn't stay long however.

Awesome cabin with a quick ride to downtown gatlinburg. Only issue was the bears which were everywhere! Beautiful views of downtown gatlinburg and the national park

the cabin was wonderful, all the amenities we were looking for. We had visits from 1 bear on the first day and a momma bear and 3 cubs the second day. it was amazing.

Enjoyed our stay was clean and nice . The first property wasn’t so good but the accumulated us with a very nice place and even gave some of our money back !

Todo fue excelente

A Bear’s View is the perfect place for a retreat in the Smokies. The mountain roads can be tricky to handle, but well worth it for spectacular views. Our party of 10 had plenty of room in this spacious cabin.

Place was aged but very well kept and well taken care of. Very roomy and spacious. We needed dishwasher pods and had to leave dirty dishes in the dishwasher. The place had everything you could need for kitchen supplies. Would definitely rent again for a big group.

Having the key code given through a text was perfect Only thing that could of been better was if there was a communal bathroom on the main level

Great stay. Easy communications with host. Easy to find.

We rented this home as we had 2 couples and 2 singles who needed their own rooms and quiet area. This was a small family gathering. The 4b/3b worked out beautifully. My brother sat on a chair in his room and it flipped him over. Beds were excellent. We had an issue with TV connections but a call to the booking agent resolved the issue within 45 minutes. Recliners would be helpful in the living room as a total relaxation experience to relieve the legs from all of the walking. The kitchen was fully equipped but we did bring our own Keurig coffee maker.

The cabin was amazing and the accommodations were stellar however there was a strong and consistent presence of Black Bears ... they were pulling at the underpin of the cabin as if there was food underneath or something. The Black Bears broke a window out of my brother's truck and ate his seats up. That was both scary and annoying because they predicted alot of our availability for our outings. We felt caged at times because of their constant presence. We had to use the outdoor furniture to build a barrier by the hottub to have some resemblance of safety while outside. That was so discouraging and made the value of my stay at the cabin less enjoyable ... but I didn't allow it to alter my review as much as I could......

It was roomy, clean, and peaceful . The driveway was steep but manageable. We had a great time.

Be prepared to see bears. They are beautoful and all over the mountain. Property itself was perfect. Had no complaints.

The house was perfect. It was stocked with everything and more! We went for Christmas and were pleasantly surprised to see a beautiful tree and a house full of decorations. The drive up was a little nerve-wracking (one-lane with far drop-offs) for those of us timid of heights but once we were there the view was outstanding! It was perfect for my parents who were able to stay on the first floor, the upstairs bedrooms for our older teenagers, and the basement for my husband and I who love a cooler room at night. The house is perfectly located close to Ober Gatlinburg, the Dollywood theme park in Pigeon Forge, which was not too far either. We all would stay there again!

Our family and our friends family stayed 5 nights over Thanksgiving. Was perfect for what we were looking for.

Everything Getting to it

10/10 across the board and the house had everything you need!

The view Nothing

Property was well kept, well stocked with dishes, pots and pans. Beds were very comfortable. Hot tub was usable but the jets didn't all work. Would definitely stay here again!

The overall stay at the cabin was phenomenal with its scenic and immaculate view shining towards the city; even though the doors closing out the blue, which was a mystery. the stay was worth it with its peace and quiet hotub. the only misleading part of the cabin was the everyday seeing a bear.

Very easy process from booking to leaving. We were celebrating our parents 50th anniversary and we all loved it!

Very nice, clean and with ample space for my family. Everything we needed was there. Wonderful view of the mountains and Gatlinburg. The roads to the property are very narrow and curvy making driving to the location difficult.

Had a great time!

Really enjoyed our stay at this cabin. We saw bears everyday we were there. Had some beautiful views of Gatlinburg and surrounding mountains. Decks weren't real high off the ground which is important to us since we have children but still provides a perfect view. Looking forward to staying here again next summer!

The cabin was very nice. While an older property, it was clean and comfortable. The view was beautiful. It was a great place to relax after a day in the mountains.

We loved our stay at the bears view cabin and the name says it all!!! We were able to see a bear every day of our stay it was such an awesome experience from a baby to a momma bear. The house was the perfect size for me, my fiancee and our 4 kids and a really incredible view. If we come back to the area I will surely look up this place.

My family rented this house for a long weekend getaway. The main goal was a view - and this really had a wonderful view. The road leading to the house - while a steep incline in spots - was paved - so not a problem getting up. The house was clean and aligned with the photos in the listing. There was plenty of space for all 8 of us. The location is wonderful - very close to downtown Gatlinburg as well as the mountains. Our goal was to spend more time away from crowds - and we were able to accomplish this by running to town in the morning and then spending our days hiking less popular trails and one day we spent on the Nantahala River (NC) - which was about a 90 minute drive - but well worth it in our opinion! Also very exciting were the bears we saw - EVERY DAY! There were at least 2 different bears that would visit but could have been more. They would just show up in the back yard or lay on the driveway - so exciting! Thank you for hosting a much needed vacation and very peaceful stay!

I loved it!!! Perfect. Clean, air gets nice and cold. Huge cabin. Erik was supperrrrrrr nice!!!! It was me,my bf and 7 kids. Loved it literally. Seen bears twice, completed our 6 day vacay. My first time ever in Tennessee. And the location is 12 minutes from gatlinburg center. I'd deff recommend. 5+ stars

Upon arrival there was a bear walking thru our yard! We were so excited to see bears and it happened immediately. The house was beautiful, spacious and stocked with everything we needed for cooking and entertainment. We will definitely request this cabin next time we vacation in the Smokey Mtns

There were some Bear issues coming on the deck during the night and hanging out most days we were there. Some of the lamps did not work, light switches, electrical plug ins not working. Not what you would expect for a house up for sale. With all that said it had a Wonderful skyline to loof at.

Views great. Rental very nice but dated. Cleanliness not the best.

Our family of four, stayed here, with a friend’s family of five. We had four adults, two young teens and three kids. All of rooms are very spacious and the kitchen is well stocked. Some beds were better than others, but overall, we all slept well. This house has older finishes, but I believe it adds to the charm of a Gatlinburg vacation. The deck has plenty of seating with a hot tub and spectacular views. We had a bear visitor three times and watched him/her try to get into our vehicles. Don’t forget to keep those doors locked. We arrived in town early and planned to eat and check out the area, until the 4:00 check in time, but received a phone call stating that it would be later than 4:00 for check in, as the cleaners were not finished. We arrived at the house shortly after 4:00 and waited in the driveway for the cleaners to finish. We entered the house around 4:45 but they continued outside, refilling the hot tub. Our other guests didn’t arrive until 5:00, so it really wasn’t a big deal. You could tell the house had been cleaned, very quickly. There was a lot of dust and cobwebs, the sheets were clean, but the bedspreads and shams didn’t look clean. the bathrooms and kitchen were cleaned well. The house did have a faint pet small, after the smell of the cleaning products wore off. The hot tub had been freshly filled, but because is it isn’t treated properly with chemicals and ph adjustments, it got pretty bad, pretty fast. I believe they just empty it after each week, refill it, and throw in the floating chlorine tablets. It did get hot, which was great. We loved using the hot tub in the mornings and evenings. The only thing we had issues with were, the lower level toilet, wasn’t bolted to the floor, the upstairs and lower level showers had very weak pressure (the main level was fine), and the tv in the master didn’t work. The floors are very squeaky and you can hear every step and voice through, to the level below. Overall it was a great place for the price, especially for a large group. The drive up to the cabin is beautiful and adventurous. The view off of the deck was worth every penny! I would rent this cabin again.

Property Dated for the price should be newer finishes

Cabin was excellent but instructions were off. Internet login was wrong. Toilet downstairs wasn't bolted to the floor.

The property is on a hillside with great views of the mountain range. We were fortunate to see beautiful sunrises and great skyline in the evening. We had several bear sightings on and around the property. The bed rooms and bathrooms were neat. However, the furniture could be better

Had some hiccups right off the bat which required maintenance people there for a few days. Eric was responsive and issues were addressed quickly. Cabin was clean and roomy, and with a bedroom on every floor everyone still had privacy. That being said, cabin is dated and could use some aesthetic updates (drywall, paint, etc.) You probably will see bear! Make sure you take food, even wrappers, out of your car and lock your doors, the local bear can get the car doors open! We found this out the hard way! If you are using one of the pools get a pass ahead of time, you will need one to get in. Since the cabin does not sit along the road, and is difficult to see from the road, a sign at the bottom of lane up to the cabin would be advisable. It took us 45 minutes driving back and forth (even with a GPS) to figure out where to go. Views are awesome up here and relaxing in the hot tub at the end of the day looking at the mountains is a definite bonus!
