Unparalleled Views!

We had a beautiful stay at Four Bears Hideaway. My immediate and extended family have been traveling to this area of Gatlinburg for 30 years. Each of us said that the views from this cabin were unparalleled and nothing like we’ve ever seen. The cabin is updated beautifully, beds were comfy, the cabin was super clean, the listing is accurate, and the property manager and owner were super responsive with communication during our stay. We had some various hiccups with the air conditioning during our stay (we picked an unseasonably hot week for Gatlinburg!) and the owner went above and beyond to ensure that the AC was immediately fixed, and that our stay was as enjoyable. We cannot wait to come back, hopefully in the fall to view the beautiful fall trees from this vantage point!

Gorgeous Just Doesn’t Describe It!!

From the moment we stepped out of our car and saw the breath taking views, tears of joy and awe streamed down my cheeks. The cabin is beyond gorgeous, with everything you could possibly need, and the views, WOW!!! Cindy was absolutely AMAZING to communicate with and was so responsive. As this was my family’s first time in Tennessee, it was also my kids’ first trip on an airplane and we saw snow!! Everything was absolutely perfect, and we actually extended our stay a day and didn’t want to leave!! We will definitely be booking with Cindy, with this cabin, through out the future. Thank you for making all of our dreams come true and being such an amazing person!!

We knew going into our stay It was going to be a beautiful home, but when we pulled up and stood on the back deck, we realized we had the best house around. Inside is extremely clean and well kept. The beds are very comfortable and everything we needed was there. You are at a dead end which makes it even better. The neighbor next to you is extremely friendly and quiet. Do not hesitate to book this amazing home in the mountains.

Great week

My brother and I took our families to Gatlinburg along with our parents to help celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The cabin was spacious and easily kept our six kids, attention with foosball air, hockey, pool table and arcade. There was also a really neat card room in the basement. The views were absolutely amazing. The drive up wasn’t as steep or bad as I’ve had with other cabins and similar views. My Bed slept comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all of our needs. The host was very easy to communicate with. The master bedroom and bathroom was very easy to use for my father who’s had some recent healthcare issues. I would highly recommend for multiple families in the Gatlinburg/smoky national Park area

a view you have to see to believe!

I cannot overstate how incredible this home is. Starting with the view from the top deck, you get full panoramic views that you have to see to believe - the pictures really don’t do it justice! My friends and I spent every moment we could out there - from sipping our morning coffee, to enjoying an afternoon adult beverage while soaking up the sun and enjoying the fresh mountain air, to winding down with a cigar at sunset while watching the downtown gatlinburg lights come to life. Not to mention the inside was immaculate! Clean, organized, and spacious, we didn’t mind spending the one rainy day inside. The poker, pool, and air hockey tables were a great touch to keep us occupied when we couldn’t go outside. The house is also as close as you can get to downtown Gatlinburg, only about 7-10 minutes depending on traffic. Ubers are tough to come by so the proximity made it alot easier to get around. All around an amazing place and trip, would come back again!

Beautiful house and views

We absolutely loved this house for a large group (8 kids, 6 adults). Lots of room and sleeping options particularly for the kids, lots of places for groups to gather together, amazing hot tub views of the mountains. The kitchen was well stocked with appliances and dishes, and the house was clean and well cared for. The host was very easy to work with. Close to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. It was fun looking UP to see our house from Anakeesta! The gorgeous views do come with a slight cost: bring very confident drivers with you, because the last five minutes of the drive up the mountain is nerve-wracking on a single lane road without barriers.

Wonderful trip, great memories

Took all the kids and their plus ones, and my parents and mother in-law, first time doing a group trip like this, and well let’s say, IT WAS THE BEST, trip was the week of thanksgiving and everything was wonderful, we even did our own turkey out on the grille, only disappointment was I never got to see any bears, maybe next time, our 5th time staying in Gatlinburg, all in cabins and this one was the best one yet, thank you for that, hopefully we will be back again

Family Vacation

The house is amazing. So much space. There were 10 adults and 4 children. The rooms are large enough for pac-n-play for small children as the loft is perfect for older children or just adults. The owner has safety gates, high chair, and dishes for young children as well as anything needed for the adults. Will stay here again

Beautiful property

This home is exceptionally beautiful. Every detail was top notch. The home is fully stocked with plenty of linens and kitchen items, dishes, pans, sharp knives, etc. The teenagers were kept happy with pool, air hockey and other games. The views are unbelievably beautiful! We had 15 people in the home and plenty of room! The property manager/owner was very responsive when we had a small problem and a repairman was there within an hour. We highly recommend this wonderful property.

Perfect in every way.

Our large group loved this cabin. Plenty of room to spread out, eat meals, play games, etc. The views were unbelievable. Loved how the location was close to everything, yet tucked away. Easy access to everything in Gatlinburg but we could get to the park without having to travel through town, which is great in the middle of the day.

Dream stay in Gatlinburg!

Fantastic luxury property!!! This place had everything you could ever need - if you never left you would still have the time of your life. But with it's central location to Gatlinburg (and not far from Pigeon Forge), it's an amazing homebase to have. The kids loved all of the games there (pool table, air hockey, arcade machine) and the hot tub. But the biggest draw is the VIEW - it's a majestic way to wake up every day. One thing to note: much like many Smoky Mountain properties, there are some steep hills to climb, so make sure you have a car that you're comfortable doing that with. But that's certainly not a negative - just a watch out! The climb is worth it for this place.

Just like home!

Great house / experience. It’s a very memorable drive up the mountain but once there, the views and location are worth it! Great space for four families. Kitchen was fully stocked with plenty of everything. Great serving / food storage options too. Downstairs area is actually quite large. The picture made the area appear smaller but it’s not at all. Only thing to be aware of when renting is that the loft area is very open to the kitchen / living area. It was a perfect space for the 7 kids we had with us but not private / quiet. We did not see any bears which was a bummer. Would recommend this house!!

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Meyer

Host profile image
.My husband and I purchased our cabin in 2007 after renting it a couple of times ourselves. The view was breathtaking which led us to our vision of building our dream vacation home. We demolished the entire home except the foundation and begin the design. We currently reside in New Haven, Mo. however after 39 years of marriage, my husband grew to love the Smoky Mountains. The name Four Bears Hideaway is named after our four children. (Pictured above). In 2016 our cabin was one of the 1700 structures that was destroyed in the wild fires, Our hearts were broken, but the memories we shared in family holidays, weddings and reunions will forever be cherished. I lost my husband suddenly in December 2018 before he could see the new cabin completed. However each room and vision he had will forever be displayed in his memory. Our cabin is family owned and operated. Our goal is to share our home, so you can have as many memories as we have had throughout the years. And share the beauty of the mountains.

Why they chose this property

I lived in Tennessee my whole life until moving to Missouri. I can honestly say I've stayed in many areas and visited many places and by far this is the best view around. There are no words to express the view of this property. We have been told by many vendors, guests and neighbors that are view is worth a million dollars. Our cabin is located far enough away to enjoy the peace of the smoky's and yet close enough to all the attractions.

What makes this property unique

Two extra large decks for enjoying the views. The bottom deck is waterproof so you can still enjoy being outdoors regardless of weather conditions. We also have another deck with a large 8-person hot tub overlooking downtown Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains.
We have a game room and a card room to entertain the children along with a lot of other entertainment as well. We have 7 grandchildren ourselves, so we chose everything to accommodate all age groups. Each room inside the cabin has a view of the mountain scenery.
