This place was very beautiful, and in a great location. The host was very communicative and helpful with anything we needed. We did see bears which was the highlight of our trip. The house was very accommodating, and spacious with lots of windows to view nature from inside. The outdoor area was well lite…we used the fire pit and they provided wood. This house had everything we needed including a Christmas tree. It was 11 of us and we were super comfortable. I will say this when the trash outside gets full, you have to go to across the way to dump it for free… it closes at 4pm and the others closes at 6pm just keep that in mind.
We will be returning 5⭐️’s!!!!

There were 17 of us and we all thoroughly enjoyed Hoobear Lodge during our family vacation! Cabin was beautiful and clean. Host was quick to respond to any questions we had and took great care of us during our stay. There were lots of reviews about how steep the road is to the cabin, but it really wasn't bad. Just take it slow and it's fine! Lots of bear sightings which the kids, old and young, loved!

The road to the house is paved but extraordinarily
steep with a hairpin turn and drop offs. The good news - it a short drive up the mountain from downtown. If you are aware and can be prepared it is manageable. If you are not expecting it, it is terrifying. You can walk to downtown but it is not feasible with kids. On the positive side, the house is very nice. It is comfortable and had plenty of room for our group. The mama bear and triplets are worth the trip. We saw them every day. The kids loved the hot tub - we could not get them out. Be prepared to launder lots of towels! Once you get there, it is a beautiful and enjoyable spot! Fun was had by all!

Without a doubt the best cabin in Gatlinburg.
Super easy access to downtown with countless attractions, restaurants and the host Eva, the treatment was excellent. Super easy communication and attentive to our needs.
We will be back soon, thank you for making our vacation a dream.
Thank you Eva.

Amazing place everything you would possibly need for your stay great hot tub and nice firepit to sit and chat kids loved all the games and all had their own room and bathroom and to top it off we saw a bear right out the door it is very special place and would sure come back

Perfect place to stay for a large group! We went for our Christmas in the summer with all kiddos and grands. Within 30 minutes of arriving a mama bear and 3 cubs came up from the woods and walked all around the yard and driveway! So exciting and Made the trip for us all! We enjoyed the pool/spa, the large kitchen and family area and having our own king suites with bathrooms. The only thing different than we expected is it would have been tough to walk downtown with the steepness of the drive. A bit longer and steeper than expected. Overall though—very clean and a great place where we made some awesome memories! Thank you for the rental!! Would definitely book this lodge again!

We had 6 girls stay for a girls trip. We saw a Baer 2 of the days- which was super cool. The hot tub was awesome, the house was beautiful, and the walk downtown was a nice feature. There is some construction going on down the mountain that could get pretty loud at times (not much you can do about that!) This house is amazing and we would definitely go back!

We had 18 people stay here together for our daughters cheer competition. It was the perfect set up and location to the convention center and down! Great time was had by all! We even had a visit from a bear!

We needed a cabin close to gatlinburg strip and Mt Leconte. This home was the perfect location! Very spacious and well suited for a large gathering. All the bedrooms are private and have their own bathrooms which was really nice. The property is beautiful and upscale decor and amenities. We had a wonderful time and look forward to going back!

This place was beautiful! Perfect for 6 adults and 9 senior high school kids! Looks just as pictures suggest! Host was accessible and quick to respond! The only challenging thing about the property is the long, steep, narrow driveway to get to house! We walked it up once and we’re done lol! But would not stop me from going back! Great access to downtown gatlinburg!

Our church youth group stayed here during a youth retreat, and the property was wonderful! We had space to spread out, there were plenty of beds for our group of 15, the hot tub was a big hit with the students, and the nice quiet area around the cabin was very peaceful. My wife and I brought our 1 and 3 year old children, and the amenities they offer were wonderful. There were multiple Pack n Play cribs, the high chair was easy to set up, and our baby monitor reached anywhere but the basement from the far upstairs bedrooms, which let our kids sleep while we played games together.
The hosts were FANTASTIC, Eva usually texted me back on the VRBO app within the hour, answering all our questions! There were multiple times that she reached out to me, just to see if we needed anything, which was very kind and thoughtful. This was the most hospitable family we have ever worked with on a property rental app; you can tell they care about their guests. I can tell you that your group will be treated very well if you book with the Hooie family.
Our only downside to the entire trip (where I left 4 stars instead of 5) is that the first photo in the ad says "Walk to downtown Gatlinburg." While it is certainly the closest cabin we've ever booked, the road leading to the cabin is incredibly steep. Our group did not feel comfortable walking to the convention center, so that is something to plan for: driving and parking each trip to town. I mentioned that to the host after our stay and she said that many guests still choose to walk to downtown; our group didn't feel comfortable with walking down/up that steep, one-lane road, especially at night time when our events were ending.
Other than that we had a marvelous time, and we are already planning to stay here next year!

Could not have been a better family trip. We had unseasonably cold weather so some downtown shops were closed but didn’t damper the trip at all! Easy access to everything and the house could not have been more perfect for us to celebrate Christmas. There was 14 of us and we all had our own space but loved the main floor for gathering!
5.0
We’ve been coming to the Smokies over Thanksgiving for the past forty years and HooBear was easily one of the best places we’ve stayed. The layout was perfect for our group of 5 couples and 5 kids. Being so close to Downtown and the Park entrance allowed us to avoid all the traffic. Kitchen was well stocked and the kids loved the swim spa. And, of course, the daily visits from bears made this a trip we’ll never forget. We will be back!

We had a wonderful stay in this property. It's very conveniently located to all of the the Gatlinburg attractions, but is private and remote enough to not feel like you're in the hustle of it all. We did hear and see bears around the cabin each day. The kids loved the pool table and the adults loved the swim spa and there was more than enough room for 15 members of our family to stay comfortably. The owner was very responsive and we really enjoyed being able to spend time together at this house.

Beautiful cabin absolutely no complaints there! Had a few little issues with the electrical flickering often especially when starting the dryer or hair dryer. The road leading up was terrifying and should maybe come with a warning, I have high car anxiety so I had to walk up and down and have people pick me up at the bottom, my legs are definitely feeling that walk up. The hot tub was a little tricky to figure out, one of the jets was spraying water everywhere and we couldn’t figure out how to just turn those off. We did see bears which was amazing! I loved how much was supplied for use at this cabin, there was everything you need for cooking and dining plus the 2 dishwashers is genius! All in all we had a great time!

Family reunion with 17 people- great time!! 5 master bedrooms with bathrooms . Downstairs bunk beds & bathroom with pullout couches up & downstairs. 3 levels in house & 2 living areas. Large outside spa. Pool table & video machine are kid sized so a bit disappointed in that. Family was able to spread out & kitchen is really big into living/dining area. Grandkids saw lots of bears & loved that!!

Quiet and relaxing!
This home was great for our family. We loved the separation, the hot tub, and the 2 dishwashers. We did not see bears on the property, but we saw them as we drove up or down the road. We did see evidence that they were on the property. It was very quiet and felt isolated even tho there were places above and below us. We stayed over a week and would have liked more dressers. Overall, it is a wonderful place to stay.

Torbet family vacation 2022
We had a great time at Hoo Bear Lodge. We had 4 Bear sightings during our stay, which we all really enjoyed. The lodge was comfortable for all
of us. The kids had the lower level to play and sleep in, which gave the adults the main floor for relaxing and enjoying each other’s company.

The property is amazing ...the owner was very prompt on response plenty of room.....the bears made it very hard to enjoy the outdoor amenities if you are traveling with a disabled person confined to a wheelchair you have to be ready to run from the bears at any moment..the hill to reach the property is very steep it will test your driving. .other than the running from bears every couple hours this house is amazing

This home fit our family well. Kitchen is well equipped. House was clean & comfortable. We fully enjoyed the huge spa pool. No bear sighted, but we did have a bobcat in the yard one afternoon. There was firewood for s’mores around the fire pit. The front door lock was simple & very easy to use. Cozy and enjoyable stay.

The Hoobear Lodge is a very nice property with spectacular views. We really loved the open concept main area and the fire pit area. The main reason the cleaniness and overall rating is not five because the fire pit chairs were down the hill when we got there because of a storm and the swim spa was not clean. Our host was quick to respond and get this taken care of.

See the bears and enjoy your family
HooBear Lodge was exactly as described-- convenient location, high probability of seeing bears that live in the vicinity, plenty of space and accommodations for large groups, and themed, high-end decor that puts this property over the top in comparison to others that you might consider in the area. The kitchen is fully stocked with any appliance or tool or convenience necessary to prepare meals. The bunk room/game room area downstairs is perfect to allow a group of kids/teens to have their own space and will keep them entertained for hours on end. This property is one of a kind and I would highly recommend it to others coming to Gatlinburg.

We really enjoyed our stay here! The house was very clean and the pictures in the listing are just as the house is! We would definitely stay again!
There were a few small things I felt the kitchen was missing...a crockpot, salt and pepper, sugar, coffee filters and cooking spray... but that's small things that would just make things a little easier.
I would recommend bringing extra trash bags, paper towels and toilet paper if you're staying more than a night.
I would also recommend bringing non slide slippers or flip flops to wear inside, several of us slipped in our socks a fell of the inside steps, lol.
If you plan on using the swim spa as a hot tub I would recommend turing the heat up on it as soon as you get there.
Traffic in town is horrendous so go to the store on your way in our early in the morning!

This property was amazing!
Our family came together and there was plenty of space to do all that we wanted. With each room essentially being a master, my parents, me, and my 4 siblings were all able to get together in one house with our little families of our own. It was magical.

We brought 15 of our team members down for our 10 year celebration of being open as a salon for ten years! Great location! Loved the fire pit and the swim spa! There was room for all 15 of us in there at one time! We were also visited by a momma bear and 2 baby bears every day! The house had everything we needed! Plenary of space!

Cannot say enough about this house. It’s big yet cozy, private yet close to everything, modern yet still with that cabin feel. We saw bears 2 of the 3 days walking right by the house twice. Bear sightings were the highlight of our trip! The house had to have been done by a designer. Every single detail is so well thought out & literally perfect. Each room in the top 2 levels has king beds & it’s own bathroom and with a large group we could not ask for more. Loved every minute. I’d love to return again & stay even longer. Owner was responsive & pleasant to communicate with.
