Fun and relaxing

Beautiful views. Cabin was cozy and warm. Hot tub was great to soak in after a lot of walking. My son and I used the pool table a lot. Nice rustic feel to it and unassuming. Everything was clean and comfortable. Even had a bear attack our truck and tore open the tonneau cover looking for goodies…which there were none. We are not even mad. We thought it was hilarious. Close proximity to downtown. Enjoyed every minute of it.

Our family of three, including our 6-year-old daughter, had an unforgettable stay at Cozy Bear! The cabin was clean, cozy, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. We loved relaxing on the deck and in the hot tub while enjoying the peaceful mountain setting. It offered the perfect balance of privacy and convenience. The highlight of our trip happened on our very first day when a mama black bear stopped by the cabin to say hello! As if to make our trip even more special, she came back on our last day while we were checking out to say goodbye. It was an incredible experience to safely see a bear in its natural habitat right from our cabin. Many visitors hope (and even pay) for an experience like this, and we were lucky enough to enjoy it on our very first Smoky Mountains visit. Our daughter was absolutely thrilled! The location couldn't have been better—just 5–10 minutes from SkyPark, SkyBridge, Anakeesta, Ober Mountain, downtown Gatlinburg, and the national park entrance, making it easy to explore and return to the peaceful cabin. The only minor downside was the occasional spiders rebuilding webs overnight and a few ants, but that's expected when staying in a cabin surrounded by nature. Overall, Cozy Bear exceeded our expectations. It gave us memories we'll cherish forever, and we'll definitely be returning to the Smokies—and staying at Cozy Bear again!

Cute Little Cabin

This is a cute little property, if you are planning on spending alot of time away from the cabin it’s perfect. I would say the cabin is a little outdated. No smart tv in the bedroom we stayed in. We didn’t use the upstairs. Also, there was a 5 disc cd player that took me back to my highschool days. There is no table on the balcony as pictured. I was a little disappointed on how outdated the cabin was but the stay was nice.

In December, we stayed at this cabin in Tennessee, and unfortunately, the property was poorly maintained and quite old. The furniture was scratched and dirty. The floor was filthy, and behind the TV, there were dead bugs . It seemed like the floor hadn’t been washed with water in a long time. The kitchen cabinets inside were damaged and not repaired or remodeled. The property only has one parking space, not suitable for a large car.I’d also like to mention that the glasses and plates were dirty, as if no one truly cleaned anything, and renters must be the ones cleaning up. The brooms, mops, and cleaning supplies were left beside the refrigerator, and everything was disgustingly dirty. This was overall a disappointing experience.

The UNcozy Bear

How can I describe the unique experience of Gatlinburg’s UNcozy Bear cabin? It’s kind of like that MTV show, Catfish. You show up expecting a “hard 6” with a pool table and hot tub. Only to find a creaky, outdated shrine to Elvis, complete with peeling window tint and water damage from a leaky roof! If you bring your kids, make sure to pack their flashlights and light-up sketchers for the long and dark decent down to the cabin! Once you make it down safely, enjoy a brisk dip in the hot tub for all the neighbors to see! After a soak in the tub, grab one of the broken sticks and play a quick game of pool with the family. Just make sure to keep your shoes on as the pool balls have a tendency to slip through the holes in the pockets and land on your feet! After all the excitement and swelling ends, follow the many bear decorations and Elvis memorabilia to the bedrooms for a long night of tossing and turning on the most uncomfortable beds you’ll ever sleep on. While you contemplate ways to keep the temperature regulated long enough to pass out, remember the only “cozy bear” will be in your car if you don’t lock the doors! So, if you’ve ever wanted to use the same model and year appliances that Elvis Presley once used…..then maybe The UNcozy Bear is a good fit for your next cabin retreat! Don’t worry, they won’t change a thing!

It was pretty good.

I was notified a few days before arrival that the chimney had damage and we couldn’t light the gas fire. No big deal. But then it rained and the cabin leaked in three locations. When we left in the daylight the next day we could see the chimney was completely broken on the ground and there was a tarp covering part of the roof. I don’t think they should have rented it in that condition. Luckily it stopped raining. But the floors already have damage from past rains.

Drive and parking were difficult

I found the drive up the mountains rough- I realize this might be normal- but it required being back by dark. The parking spot didn’t fit our car, which was a challenge. I was also very confused by being called at 11 pm by the property and told to evacuate immediately, despite not being in the evacuation area. Being from out of town, in a major wind storm leaving in the middle of the night was a huge challenge- especially since none of our neighbors were evacuated. I understand the abundance of caution, however driving down the mountain with trees falling was equally dangerous. I felt it was unfair to be told to evacuate when we were no where near the zone.

Nice Place with a Great View

Late Summer trip. Everything was clean and in working order. The deck provides a beautiful view of the mountains that is fairly private from other nearby houses. Hot tub area is very private. The water pressure is lower than normal (I expect due to being up on a mountain side) but certainly manageable. Did not see any rodents, bugs, etc. inside. The drive up mountain roads is extremely steep; recommend AWD or 4WD especially if coming in the winter. Overall, wonderful place to stay and I would stay again.

Cabin Stay

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was clean. I was very happy with the location. I was more than satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: The location and view was amazing. The lights going to the cabin (stairs going down to cabin, etc.) were not well lit - all lights next to drive and down until you triggered the security light were not working - making that a bit tricky. There were a few ants in the cabin - bathrooms & kitchen specifically. I totally appreciate the "cabin" feel however cob webs around the ceilings especially in the bathrooms were more than noticeable. The cabin's view is breath taking so a little extra care would make it nothing less than perfect!

The Cabin cabin could use a deep cleaning as well, but overall was nice and I would stay here again.

Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: House & view was terrific. My only suggestion is to have cleaning services do a thorough tip-to-bottom job on cob webs in the rafters, under the bed (we found an old pair of shirts under one bed left by prior occupants), and to steam clean the bed spreads ( smell funny). We had a great time and the place is really nice & priced right. Chalet personnel were great!

Rating Details: The property manager was somewhat unhelpful. The vacation rental was very dirty. I was very happy with the location. I was satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I do not recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Very disappointed in the cabin. It’s dated and needs a face lift but beyond that it was full of dead and alive bugs. We called to get them cleaned up but housekeeping didn’t have a vacuum to suck up the ones in the window sills. She used a broom but couldn’t reach them all. The master bedroom had cob webs and spider webs in the windows. When we spoke to the management company they just said that it was part of being in the mountains. Not true. Our friends cabin right next door was clean and did not have the infestation ours did. At minimum, they could’ve cleaned up all the dead bugs before we arrived. Would not recommend.

Un-cozy Bear

The location and views were great but the cabin is very dated and needs updating. The biggest issue we had was all the bugs in the unit. The property manager was not empathetic and responded to our frustration with saying that it’s part of being in the mountains. The bottom line is it should’ve been cleaned before we came, and there’s clearly an infestation coming from someplace in the unit. Not only were there dead and alive bugs in all the window sills there were cobwebs and spider webs in the master bedroom. Those should’ve been taken care of as part of the routine cleaning. We called and asked that someone clean up all the dead bugs after we arrived. A lady did but she had to use the broom that was in the unit and didn’t have a vacuum cleaner that she admitted would’ve been more effective in getting them all. The cabin shops be named Cozy Bear and Bugs. We would NOT recommend it and will not be back. Total disappointment!

However, quite a few things in the house are falling apart - for example the sofa in the living room is aged and not comfortable. The house definitely needs a facelift!
