Had a wonderful experience for our first cabin trip. Place was super clean and so comfortable and cozy. Host was very easy to get in touch with and super accommodating. Definitely planing to go back to Hey Bear 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.
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!
Nice cozy cabin with open floor plan. Enjoyed the hot tub and sitting on the porch listening to nature.

Nice cabin but needs help
There are no 1/2 stars, but I would really give it a 3-1/2. The cabin is really nice. But the reason we can't give a higher rating is the condition of things in the cabin. I really should have paid better attention to the write ups before our stay. It appears that the arcade game and the air hockey game have been down for several months. We saw these things in the ad and were looking forward to using them, but nothing worked. These things either need to be fixed or taken away and out of the pictures. This is the end of January and reading reviews online and in a book in the cabin, people have been complaining about this since July. A few other little things just all added up. Hope they fix these things. Could be a much better place.
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!!
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!
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.
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
Hey Bear Cabin is amazing! On rainy days when we couldn’t go into town, this place was perfect for just relaxing and enjoying the day inside. Definitely hope to stay here again on our next visit.
Loved staying here. This cabin was so cozy and had nice homely touches. The view was amazing. It was an easy drive into Gatlinburg. We would definitely stay here again.
Very easy check in process and the host was very communicative! Very romantic and fun place to book for a weekend getaway! Only complaint was that it wasn’t very clean upon our arrival and the hot tub had a lot of dirt in it! Other than that it was great and definitely recommend!
