Perfect for our family

Had a great stay at the cabin. It was perfect for our family! The description and photos perfectly describe the property. It is easy to get to the Gatlinburg strip, and close to some hiking trails. The cabin is really clean and well appointed. Had everything we needed. The communication with the owner was great too. Very helpful.

Overall nice

It is a very nice cabin. Had plenty of room everything was clean. The only two complaints is the driveway in has this hump and my boyfriends car scrapped really bad on it i thought it was gonna be stuck the other complaint is the pool sticks were all broken at the tip. We ended up buying our own because thats one of the main reasons we booked the place. Also i forgot to mention how the hot tub was so clean it bleached our clothes we went in with. But overall we enjoyed the place and we had fun. It has everything you need and olenty of space.

Perfect Cozy Cabin!

What a wonderful cabin! It was very clean, exactly as listed, and in an area that is very quiet with no immediate neighbors but not totally isolated, as there are other houses down the streets (which I liked!) The host was very communicative pre-check in, and was quick to answer any questions I had. The cabin also had charming seasonal decor (fall), which was an added touch I really enjoyed. The WiFi connection was strong and stable throughout my stay, which definitely helped staying connected because I had no service in the area. I loved the multistory layout, and felt like my group had plenty of space to enjoy together and privately. This is one of the few times on vacation where I actually wanted to stay in and enjoy our lodging more — my only regret is not booking more time at this property! Overall, quite literally the perfect cozy cabin for a small family or group of friends!

As described

The cabin was great. As described. This place was great for our family. We had 4 of the grand kids aging from 3 - 13. The game room was a huge hit for adults too. Enjoyed the pool table, retro arcade games and the kids really enjoyed the board games. Kept them entertained the entire time. The loft was perfect for the kids. Well stocked utensils and everything you needed. Hot tub was great. We loved our stay. The only negative would be the driveway. It is hard to get in and out of and turn around, especially at night. Highly recommend this place and loved the quiet location. Hosts thought of everything. Couldn't have asked for a better stay.

Visiting Gaitlinburg

Stay was as expected/ as listing described. My only suggestion/ask would be for full roll of paper towels or a second roll to replace the half roll left in the kitchen. Hot tub was not warm enough to use for the first two days (from refill and power tripping). Owners answered questions promptly

Great cabin! Very clean and laid out nicely. Room for everyone! Girls loved the hot tub, and the arcade game brought back memories of playing as a kid. Coffee on the front deck in the morning was so peaceful and quiet. Would definitely book again!

Don't arrive for the weekend expecting to use the hot tub.

The property was nice. Cabin itself is nice. But the selling point / amenity that we were most excited for was the Hot Tub and we were unable to use it at all during our stay. This was very disappointing as it was the main reason we chose this cabin. We completely understand that the hot tub had been emptied and sanitized and we greatly appreciated this. However, we were there for the entire weekend and it never reached over 85-87 degrees. We contacted the owners who live out of town and followed their instructions without success. Whichever owner I was communicating with via messaging was very condescending and also informed me that I could "Contact any hot tub manufacturer and they will educate me". They finally called the cabin the next evening after dinner to troubleshoot without success. Keep in mind we were to check out at 10AM the next morning. I hope that in the future the owners will realize that kindness goes a lot further than the treatment we received. I finally stopped messaging as it was getting us nowhere. The advertisement for this cabin should be more transparent. We were told that it will take "a few" hours for the hot tub to heat up. We did not realize that this would mean the entire weekend. I just wanted to give others the transparency we wish we had been given. Our group won't be choosing to stay at their property(ies) again due to this experience.

Nice, but needs a few improvements

The host was very communicative and very helpful and the property was nice and comfortable. The view is not that great but, the location is good for downtown Gatlinburg. Tthe supplies were very limited. We had no extra trash bags and only one dishwasher pod. With 3 people staying 4 days, we needed more than this. The outlets in the bedrooms either didn’t work at all or worked sporadically, so any charging had to be done in bathrooms and the kitchen. The cleaning crew missed some things — the coffee pot had not been cleaned and there were grounds still in the filter. There was soap residue in the main floor shower that could easily have been cleaned off but was not. All in all, it was okay, but I have stayed in nicer places.

Bearly AMAZING

The cabin was everything advertised. The first thing my wife and I both noticed was the fresh smell of fall spices when we opened the door. It was not overwhelming like they were trying to cover an odor but very welcoming. The second evening there we returned from sight seeing after dark and was greeted by a black bear in the driveway. He politely walked into the woods and disappeared. The next morning I was on the deck drinking my morning coffee and heard a noise and in tree about 40 yards away were 3 little cubs playing. The kids all enjoyed the game room and hot tub. Great place a little off the beaten path and just what our family needed. Will definitely be back. Thank you for sharing the cabin with our family.

About the host

Hosted by Shelly

Host profile image
Honey Bear's Hideaway was purchased in November 2019 and we, as the owners have totally renovated the cabin as it was in a very neglected state. We fell in love with the cabins warmth and charm and we hope that our guests will thoroughly love it as much as we do. We have put much thought into making each stay a memorable one and are here for our guests anytime needed.
We love the Smokies! It is our home! We want families to create lasting memories of a lifetime here, just as we have!

What makes this property unique

Honey Bear's Hideaway isn't your typical cabin. It has so much space, it is convenient to Gatlinburg's Strip yet it is in a very private setting.
