Smoky Bear Hideaway

Very welcoming for pets although no grass here. But not a problem we walked the dog in town

Large cabin, well located. Clean bed and bath linen and good smell. You need a 4x4 car.

We have packed up and headed home early due to weather risks tonight and unsatisfactory stay. This home is near as high as you can go, up a very windy and narrow road, I am not sure how anyone could reach it during snow/frozen, and I highly wish that was mentioned at all. The pictures are not accurate, everything is like an older not fresh version. We have found someone else's old underwear at the bottom of the bed, suggesting they have not been cleaned. The hot tub is broken as well at a low temperature, which was a big factor in our choice of stay. The towels have a strong smell of not being fresh/cigarettes which is extremely off putting. Even the toilet paper smelled of cigarettes. The only extra blanket provided in the closet is extremely foul smelling. For the price we have paid it is disappointing to not feel satisfied with the home. I would recommend staying somewhere else. I was not going to review, but when I messaged the owners about our issues, we never got a response.

Kudos to the photographer who posted the images of this unit! Hid the many flaws very well. Mold not only in showers and curtain, but on the ‘extra’ bath towels, the kind you’d use for washing your car quality towels. Multiple lights didn’t work, lots of little things like that that could have easily

Greatly disappointed in this property for the price we paid. It needs a deep cleaning and some repairs. We found dog poop from a previous renter along with dirt and debris under a throw rug. Mattresses are old, broken down along the edges and need to be replaced. If you have back issues, keep looking. Lighting was bad. The bulbs must be the lowest and cheapest you can buy. Also when we arrived the back door was unlocked. It rained and the upstairs bathroom leaked. Only plus I could mention was that prior to our stay the contact person was easy to work with and answered my inquiries promptly. Wish I could be more positive but over all it felt like staying in a Motel 6.

Nice and cozy. Needs some minor fixes but nothing major. Was a great trip

We had a great time. It was clean and we enough room for our family. Just the right place to explore Gatlinburg and surrounding area. Gaby

We had a wonderful weekend and enjoyed talking in the hot tub each night. Loved the fireplace and enjoyed a little football. The leaves were spectacular.

Although the property was represented accurately, I was disappointed to arrive to an unclean unit. We called and someone came and changed the beds and bathrooms, with the assurance of a full cleaning and supplies, tissue, detergent, towels, on the next day....not. I cleaned the chalet myself and was promised a refund of 1 days rental....not. Disappointed as I trust people to honor their word.

Overall Wonderful Experience. Cozy cabin located on the mountainside. Adventurous drive on a narrow, curvy, steep road. Daily visits from several bears. Keep your car doors locked! No washer or dryer. Hot Tub was below average. Kitchen & bathrooms amenities average. Bedroom closet & dresser filled w/items - unusable. Outside ground needs to be cleaned up.

Overall it was a great time we got to see a bear almost everyday and we had a nice time spending time with family.

We had a great time. The bears were everywhere. We saw so many. The place was well kept. Any questions or concerns that arise the owner was quick to answer.
