Great Stay for 2 families

We had 4 adults and 4 young kids 6 and under. It was the perfect cabin to accommodate everyone. The kids had a blast on the pirate ship when it was warmish. We were forecasted to get snow and we did but only an inch at the cabin so we went up the mountain and there was 4 inches, the kids loved it. We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool as well as the outdoor fireplace while the kids were in the hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked, heck the knife set I want for my house. It would be nice to have a few actual glasses that aren’t plastic. We also found really soft blankets that we also wanted but found out they were discontinued. Overall very happy with the cabin and the property manager was accommodating to our requests. We would recommend this place.

Luxury, Spacious, Convenient

This cabin was everything it was marketed to be in the overview and description. Absolutely gorgeous, more than spacious for our group of 9, all the things you need to cook meals and enjoy the kitchen for meals together. Pool room was a hit for the kids, hottub was great for adults. Totally convenient location to everything we wanted to enjoy, national park hiking, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, really perfect.

Week long getaway

Water Bear is a great location if you are wanting to stay in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. It is just far enough outside of Pigeon Forge to feel like you are secluded, but close enough to quickly get to Pigeon Forge. My wife and I stayed with our 2 year old, who greatly enjoyed the pirate ship and private swimming pool. This is one of the cleanest and well maintained VRBO's that we stayed in. Erik was very responsive and ensured our stay met our expectations. The rooms are very spacious and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and had pretty much any cookware/utensils you would need while on vacation. Would highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting the area.

Family Mountain Vacation

We have stayed in a many of cabins from Gatlinburg, to Pigeon Forge and even Sevierville, but none compare to Water Bear. This was the cleanest rental I have ever stayed in. Erik was very responsive and the communication was top notch. After I was sent the renters guide, I had zero questions. Literally everything was in there that I needed to know. This house was very spacious and kept my 5 and 7 year old entertained for 8 days and still wasn’t ready to leave on day 8. The porch with the TV and fire place were our absolute favorite. My husband and I could sit and enjoy the fire while our kids played on the play ship. This cabin was also the perfect location to be in a quiet neighborhood, but also super close to pigeon forge, Sevierville and Gatlinburg. I highly recommend this cabin and we can’t wait to go back next year!

Great Cabin Stay

Cabin was excellent. Plenty of space for family to spread out or be together to eat or watch a movie in movie room. Pool and hot tub used regularly and both were super. Real plus to have a bathroom in each bedroom. We played in game area and did a puzzle. Cabin and outdoor areas just as in pictures on website. Very easy to find from parkway in just minutes. Contact person very responsive to correct any issues and there were very few of those. We have stayed in several cabins in this area and Water Bear was the best. We will plan to stay here again
