Thanksgiving with friends and family

We checked in Wednesday and checked out Sunday. Our Thanksgiving vacation was amazing. The views from the house were spectacular, and the theatre room and game room were very popular. All the bedrooms were comfortable and it was nice to have each bedroom with its own bathroom.

Beautiful cabin in an excellent location

Our family of 11 had a wonderful stay at The Funky Bear Cabin! There is plenty of room for a large group. The game room, theatre and hot tub were a highlight for the kids. The location is perfect with an easy drive down into downtown Gatlinburg and easy drive over to Pigeon Forge as well. The views are absolutely incredible - we even saw a few bears! We look forward to staying at The Funky Bear again in the future!

Fantastic mini-break

We visited the week of July 4th with our two teens, friends of ours, and their two teens. The house was perfect. Immaculately clean and plenty of space to all of us to sleep, hang out, play and just be. Location was a short drive to town and area activities. The host was responsive and thorough in all communications. As 8 picky travelers, we all really enjoyed our stay and would stay here again next time we are in the area. Thanks for an easy and great trip!

Amazing home

Funky Bear Lodge was hands down the best VRBO house our family has stayed at. The king beds in each bedroom made all of the couples in our group comfortable and the room with the twin beds was great for the kids. The theme of the home is fun and all the artwork is awesome. We had a "pet" bear who visited around the same time each day and just casually wandered through the parking lot. We got lots of great pictures. The view is spectacular, there's tons of seating for everyone, we really appreciated how clean everything was, and the movie room was great! This home can't be beat.

Amazing house with great views and amenities

I stayed here with a group of 10 friends. We found the place very clean, spacious, and accommodating to other needs. The amenities including the hot tub, game room, and multiple TVs added to the enjoyment. The views from the balconies were spectacular and the proximity to the park was very convenient. Although the communication from the host was less personal and more automated, the communications were clear and informative and the host provided contact info if more personal communication was needed.

We rented the cabin for a large family trip. The cabin had everything we needed and the view was amazing! It was tucked away in the mountains, but within 10 minutes of Gatlinburg. Zack was very responsive when we needed a few things along the way and took care of us. We will definitely consider this property in the future.

Perfect for large family - checked all boxes!

The cabin did not disappoint! It was located in a central area that it took us no longer than 15 minutes to get to all the attractions in Gatlinburg, the Island of Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and yes even Publix!. The views of the city were breathtaking. The cabin itself was one of the cleanest VRBOs I have ever stayed in and the decor was so cute and cozy for the holidays I felt like I was at home. Communication with Zack was 5 star from the very beginning during the initial booking period when my family was picking dates and throughout our stay. I had reached out when we first got there to notify him that the microwave handle was broken (not a big deal on our end but just wanted to let him know that I found it like that when we arrived). I had no expectation of the microwave being fixed while we were there but to our surprise Zack reached out within a few hours and had his parents there to fix the handle. The theater room and game room got a lot of play with our family. Perfect spot for everyone to gather at the end of our days. My only wish is that we had a real fireplace to be able to roast s’mores, but the electric fireplace in the living room gave off enough heat to keep us warm and was a beautiful statement piece in the living room. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and would come back again!

Beautiful house with spectacular views!

Our family stayed here with my sister and her family for our kids’ spring break, kids aged 3-12. It was perfect! The view caught my attention and it is even more beautiful in person, especially during sunrise. Everything about the set up of this house is well thought-out, from the labels on the light switches and kitchen drawers and shelves to the 6 beach towels in the lower level for the hot tub. The lower level was fun for kids and adults and everything was set up with clear directions and worked perfectly (including the ease of the tv set up). On top of that, the decorating in the house is perfect! I loved the bear theme - pay attention to the movie poster titles in the movie room, nice touch! The furniture on the porch was comfortable. The beds were also very comfortable. Zach was also quick to respond to any questions. If I had to give any constructive feedback, it would be to have a larger porch if more similar houses were being built (we did appreciate being able to eat meals on the porch at the table but that was a bit tight for 8 of us to move around the table.) My husband said the theater room would be even better with surround sound. I can’t wait to return and hope we can return to this property.
