Disgusting!!!

This place was absolutely filthy! My wife and I stay at properties all over the Gatlinburg area. Usually 8-10 times a year. This was by far the nastiest cabins we've ever been too. I would say stayed at but we didn't stay. After walking in and around we found that it was covered with filth. Couches covered with dog hairs to the point you couldn't set down. There were human hairs all over the bed and bathrooms. Beddings were stained and disgusting. The whole house stunk of dog piss all over. The hot tub had hairs all over the top and dirt in the bottom along with green slime around the top. We communicated with the host with no resolution other than him saying he'd look into it. Looking at this property thats about the response I figured we'd get. Some people just don't give a damn and Casey is definitely one. Just a word of advise. Stay anywhere but here!!

Good stay

While the property and location were ideal. The house had not been cleaned thoroughly. Dust build up, dead bugs in blankets, and even Christmas decorations still out. There was what appeared to be a small water leak that dripped down to the guest bathroom. Weeds had over grown onto the steps up into the property. Most of the games either didn’t work properly or were missing pieces. Overall, not a bad experience, but it left a little to be desired.

Weekend Getaway

This cabin was the perfect retreat for me and my partner during our weekend getaway. It was cozy, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The only small note I’d mention is that we occasionally heard what sounded like birds nesting in the master bedroom wall. It might just be from the surrounding vegetation, but it could be worth checking out just in case. Overall, though, we had a wonderful stay!

Review

The home is clean but lacks sufficient lighting at night, and the stairs are quite steep. They can be slippery when wet, so it is recommended to add traction tape for safety.The driveway is poorly lit, which made it challenging to locate the home during nighttime visits.While the hot tub is nice, the keypad on its door does not illuminate, making it difficult to see and operate at night. You need to tap it just right for it to work properly.

VERY disappointing

Immediately upon walking in to the cabin it was apparent that it was going to be an uncomfortable stay for us. The entire cabin reeked of dog urine. The cabin looked like it had not been cleaned in a very long time. My wife and I travel often and never have we stayed in a place as filthy as this cabin. There was dust and dirt EVERY WHERE. In the upstairs bathroom, there was tooth paste splatters all over the wall. Dishes in the cabinet had visible food on them. The towels in the cabin appear to have originally been white, but were in fact grey, dingy and wrinkled. It honestly looked like they had not been washed since the last visitors. The hot tub, that we cautiously chose not to use, smelled like mold. We ended up going into town and purchasing our own towels, cleaning supplies, candles, air freshener and toilet paper. Even still, my wife was uncomfortable the entire stay. And to top it all off, about an hr after we checked out, I realized I left a few pairs of pants and shirts in the upstairs closet. I immediately sent a message and asked if they could be sent to me at my expense. I had to send a couple messages before I got a response. Even then, I was told that the cleaning crew did not find them. I replied that they were left in the closet. I stopped getting replies after that. I guess we can count my clothes as gone. Overall, this was an unpleasant experience. If these owners truly use a cleaning crew, they need to find a new one!!!

Beautiful 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.

Weekend stay at Hey Bear Cabin

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 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.

Hey Bear!

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.

Very nice

It is a beautiful home, lots of stairs though. If you have issues with stairs this is not the place for you, we enjoyed it very much. It is a peaceful home and relaxing on the porch is a treat. There is not a view, just a very wooded yard. The games inside are nice, the air hockey table needs repairs done. There is also a rotted spot on the first stoop on the right side so be careful. Overall a very pretty and quiet place. We enjoyed it.
