Absolutely wonderful stay. Very clean when we arrived. The only bad thing was there was no arcade game machine like the picture showed on vrbo. Other than that it could use some tlc on the maintenance side. Lower tub didn't drain, upstairs toilet seat was broken at the mount, stairs up to the cabin were starting to fall away from the cabin and there was a hole in the steps on the way up. Would recommend to anyone! Had some bear visitors on the porch which was a lovely treat. Wouldn't recommend taking a full size truck there is not a lot of room in the drive to turn around.

Vacation Get Away

This cabin was absolutely wonderful! So much so even my husband complemented me multiple times on what a great booking I selected. The hot tub was so relaxing after each days hike through the Smokies. We even got to see two black bear encounters on the property! This place is perfect for couples looking to have a quiet relaxing get away!!

Hey Bear Cabin

This was a nice secluded place to stay, check in/out was easy. The cabin is well arranged and decorated. I will say the walls need a good dusting but over all it was clean. We did bring our dog and the grass area was a bit smaller than I expected but it was enough. We enjoyed our stay and would do so again!

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!

Nice unit and good location

The place is beautiful and a quick 10 minute drive into town. The good: The bed is comfy, hot tub works perfectly, unit is beautiful, and property is private The not as good: the AC doesn’t seem powerful enough for summer time Tennessee as it was always hot up where the bed is, the view isn’t bad but not as great as expected, the big buck game doesn’t work

Weekend stay at Hey Bear Cabin

The view was absolutely stunning and the best spot to get a break from life. Only regret is not staying longer and bringing more food to cook so we didn’t have to leave the cabin. Only disclaimer is for folks who aren’t used to driving up the mountain (Northern Indiana native who lives on flat land) if you are faint of heart driving up a literal MOUNTAIN at night is pretty stressful. Make sure you arrive during daylight hours and you are comfortable driving without guard rails by the road. Otherwise, 11/10 experience and looking forward to our next trip here!

Beautiful cabin!

The cabin was beautiful and a quick ride in to Gatlinburg. When we arrived, the driveway hadn’t been plowed or salted, but a quick message to the owner later, they had someone out within the hour to have the driveway ready for us to get up. She was very communicative and made sure we could get into the property. A couple of the games were missing the items needed to play and the hunting game was stuck on a loading screen, but we enjoyed playing air hockey and modified games of pool because some of the pool balls we’re missing. Overall, it was a beautiful cabin close to all the fun Gatlinburg activities.

Hey Bear Cabin

The cabin was very quaint and located near downtown Gatlinburg. Unfortunately, it was not clean to my expectations and especially with the lingering viruses going around. It definitely needed a little TLC before we arrived. I did reach out to the property owners and they did respond, but still not what I expected especially for the money.

Very nice

It is a beautiful home, lots of stairs though. If you have issues with stairs this is not the place for you, we enjoyed it very much. It is a peaceful home and relaxing on the porch is a treat. There is not a view, just a very wooded yard. The games inside are nice, the air hockey table needs repairs done. There is also a rotted spot on the first stoop on the right side so be careful. Overall a very pretty and quiet place. We enjoyed it.

Very nice. Few things could use attention to make it great

Very nice place to say may be very difficult in snowy conditions. We love the cabin. There were a few things that could be cleaned or replaced. Like rugs in living room, I think need to be cleaned. And there's no way to refill hot tub. If water gets low because the hose is broken. There was a leak in the window sill above the sink when it rained, but they responded quickly and said that would have it checked out.. Great place to stay, but maybe just a little bit more attention to detail when cleaning would definitely recommend.

Hey Bear!

Beautiful cabin that offers relative seclusion! We stayed here for a week while visiting the Gatlinburg/Pigeon Forge area and we were not disappointed. Hey Bear! was the perfect relaxation spot after long days of being out and about. Sitting in the hot tub on the cold winter nights was fantastic!Two pieces of warning: 1. There are A LOT of steps to access the cabin. This is identified in the ad but I wanted to throw that out so everyone takes note before committing to this property. 2. The game tables are all missing pieces and the video game system doesnt work. That didn’t bother us, but if you are booking this property for those items then you will be disappointed Overall, I highly recommend Hey Bear Cabin to any couples looking for a nice getaway from the rest of the world.

Relaxation Amplified

For the first time ever we decided to just get away for the long Thanksgiving day weekend. My wife, son, two pups and I headed to the mountains for a much needed and ultra relaxing vacation. Hey Bear Cabin did not disappoint! It captures the true essence of a mountain top log cabin. There was a nice Master suit upstairs and a living area that had a large sofa bed. The kitchen had what we needed and for the cool weather, there was a good size hot tip on the patio. Our favorite part of course was the wrap around porch on the main level and the private porch off the master where we could sit out and enjoy our coffee each morning. Another bonus is the proximity to Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and hiking trails. The only thing I would say to be aware of and it’s not a negative but more of a caution…If you have a family member joining you that isn’t very mobile, this may not work for you. As stated in the description, there are several stairs to get to the cabin and they are pretty steep; approximately 25-30 stairs. Overall, we had a fantastic time and got every bit of relaxation we needed!
