Bear Retreat - Dog Friendly, Hot Tub, Game Room + Community Pool Access

We had a blast! The cabin was more cozy than expected, beds were really comfortable, and kitchen had everything a cooker wish for. The jacuzzi was already warm up and ready to relax.Internet can fail during bad weather, but they had DVD player/ movies, books and family friendly games to enjoy, or can enjoy arkades and pool table too. Extra towels and linens were provided. Would definitely come back!

Beware: Ant infestation in kitchen( the ant spray can under the sink was empty which was a dead giveaway that there was a problem), stains on quilt in master bdrm, smelly bedding, uncomfortable hard beds that squeaked with every move, no shelves in showers for shampoo/bodywash, no icemaker/broken ice trays, treacherous drive to reach the cabin on mountain, difficult parking at unit, cabin had no view…backed directly up to side of mountain & sandwiched among other cabins located in cul-de-sac. Dirty deck & front porch. Disappointed that we paid so much for a dump. The pics online did not represent the actual condition of the property. We left a day early because we couldn’t take the cabin conditions any longer. After reading the previous reviews & complaints, we knew that dealing with the host was a lost cause. No remedies had been made by host for same complaints by past renters. This was not our first time renting a cabin in pigeon forge, but it will be the last time renting from this host. I hope the new cabin owners are made aware of these issues asap!!

Everything was perfect for our spring break with the grandkids! Perfect setting and not far away from actractions!

Water heater was way too small for the tubs would run out of hot water about quarter way of full. Certainly not enough capacity for bot tubs if wasn’t enough for one

Loved the location, cabin was as described in listing, beautiful Christmas tree!

We had a great stay.

Over it was good. We did enjoy the pool table and games. We did lose internet connection on Saturday.

The best thing i can say it was clean.Mattresses where either worn out or very cheap.You could not move on the beds without much squeaking.Darkest shower i ever been in.TV cords where strung across the wall which says unprofessional work.

We really enjoyed our stay. Everything was fantastic!

Clean and plenty of room. Convenient location

Property was very nice. Had no issues while ther we, good location also.

We had a great time; the cabin was really just like the photos. My only comments are that the grill outside is a little rusty and the drive through the complex to the cabin is a bit steep...but we loved playing the old style arcade games!

The cabin was nice and clean

Great place to stay. Quiet cozy and comfortable.

Nice location, close to everything . A couple trees fell on to the cabin while we were there. Did a little damage on spouting, I'm not sure if there was any more, it definitely gave us a scare. But other than that it was a very nice cabin.

Great location, clean and perfect for adults.

Had a nice long weekend staying I the Smokies. Cabin was fantastic, and the entertainment around Pigeon Forge is limitless.

Beautiful cabin

Good location, close to everything. Comfortable beds. 6 adults fit, but 8 would be tough. They even had a Christmas tree up! Safe neighborhood too.

We really appreciated the fact that already had dishes and silverware ready for us to use. Though we did find trash hidden in some places and stained covers; overall the cabin was amazing! My family enjoyed the arcade game and the pool table.... And we couldn't get enough of the hot tubs and board games. I think our stay was well worth it's price.

We rented it for the night but would love to rent it for a longer stay!

Great place. The directions were a little confusing and the outlet in the bathroom upstairs didn’t work.

Crammed in the midst of a BUNCH of neighbors, is a cute and quaint Bear Retreat. I wouldn't recommend more than 4 people. It says parking for 3 but that would be for compacts or motorcycles. We had a Ford Edge and a Chevrolet full size truck with barely enough room. It is on a hill. One of our neighbors used a rock to put behind the tire.

Pros: close to everything in PF. Plenty of towels, etc. Nice appliances. Set up for cooking. Cons: Couches, beds, cabinets quite worn out. Trying to get front door to open with key code was a NIGHTMARE each time. No keurig Only pot. Cabin on hill behind us could see right into upper bathroom. Hung a towel. Kids in cabin up behind us sounded like they were running on our roof when they were on their deck. Throw blanket smelled like urine or Chinese food. Not sure.

Had multiple issues with accessing the property over 3 days of our 4 days vacationing at this property. The management team for this property failed to fix the front door issue. During this time we were accused with letting our dogs run the house. Which was not true and we had to prove it was not true, by going out of our way. Then was threatemed with multiple fines for no reason. The management staff was completely rude, not professional. The house was fine but needless to say because of all this and getting very agitated we didnt get to enjoy it like would have liked to.

The cabin was absolutely perfect for the weekend getaway we had planned.

We would stay there again it was all close to pigeon Forge

This was a first time VRBO stay and I have to say I am not sure why you charge such a high cleaning fee when we did not walk into a clean cabin. The first thing that hit us was the smell. Who ever stayed there b4 us fried fish and boy did it smell!! Needed to get airfreshers. Dirty kitchen table & countertops. I could feel the sticky, crusty spots like it was never wiped down. I cleaned them and ants still found a spot that was sticky. Main toilet ran if handle was not jiggled. Both toilet paper holders are lose. Shower was terribly dirty. Lose tile outside shower. A wash rag was shoved into a knotty pine hole. Refrigerator motor runs constantly. How was this OK with the people that cleaned this cabin?? If this is a representation of VRBO I am sorry to say we will not be back.
