Great stay cabin was perfect. Great weather Saturday and Sunday. Xmas day 70 mile winds, touch and go at times. Easy ride to downtown. Loft was perfect when folks wanted to do different things or watch different shows. Hot tub was perfect as well, chlorine holder could be replaced, kitchen was well stocked and screened in porch off kitchen was a nice little addition for kitchen. We also saw 4 black bears around our cars the last evening.

The property was great. Porch and hot tub were a hit. Place was clean, cozy and comfortable. Good to knows, It was not walking distance to town. If your car doesn’t do well up hills it will be challenging getting up the mountain.

Really enjoyed the cabin, great location and view of Mount LeConte.

Our family mountains trip was wonderful. Beautiful views and room for the whole family. We did see bears on the way to the chalet 3 nights, and we wanted to. The step roads and driveway were a bit worrisome for city drivers...but it is a mountain. Great place to stay

The cabin and its amenities were just what we needed after long, fun days in the Gatlinburg-Sevierville area. With a little fine-tuning, it could be perfect! As-is, it's the perfect mix of vintage charm and modern comfort. Would stay here again!
5.0
Had a wonderful time staying here with my parents and our kids. It was a great location to get anywhere in the area including downtown Gatlinburg, pigeon forge and the National Park for hiking. We also had amazing weather and saw lots of wildlife, including bears several days! Awesome stay making memories!

The property was very beautiful the view of the mountain was breathtaking ,lots of room for the 5 of us! The only thing i wished for was a tv in the bedrooms downstairs I do enjoy laying in bed watching a good movie! Didnt care for the road up and down at first , but once you knew the roads it was'nt so bad,slow and steady is a must! Alan was very helpful!

The property was as pictured and described. The detailed directions were very helpful. The owner was very attentive and quick to respond (door code didn’t work upon arrival) and the situation was resolved in less than 5 minutes. We had a family of 6 and there was more than enough room for everyone. The cabin was fully stocked with everything that you could possibly think to need.
The Honey Bear cabin name is perfect as we were visited by bears on multiple occasions during our visit. Overall it was a perfect trip in the perfect location.

We really loved the place and would stay again when in the area. Next time we will bring some trail cams to catch all the bears! We saw 3 different bears right from the porch. Great experience! House has everything needed and was extremely comfortable. In the fall, beware of falling acorns, though, because there are lots and they hurt! :)

The home had everything we needed. Comfortable, clean and good location to the Smokies. Had a couple visits from some black bears which we enjoyed.

Great family friendly cabin. Was perfect for our family of 4 but could have accommodated more people comfortably. Cabin is close to all the activities we wanted to do and we saw bears every single day!

We enjoyed our time at the cabin. Everything was clean and we had no issues during our stay. We saw several bears each day which was pretty neat. They didn’t pay much attention to us and just went along on their way. Please lock your doors while unloading the car upon arrival. My brother did not lock his car while unloading and one opened the door and got inside within 2 min of being there. It took a bag of chips and ran off. We heard the neighbors yelling at one in their car was well. If you lock your doors you shouldn’t have any problems. The roads to the cabin are a little steep but slow and steady will get you there. The view of the mountains from the deck is great. Cabin location is great to downtown. Pool was also great for the little ones. We would stay again.

Honeybear is a lovely little chalet in the woods. Nicely kept, though some updates would enhance the experience: needs better/brighter/more lighting, and mattress in one BR is not great. True to it's name, a momma bear and 3 cubs visited two days in a row. Enjoyed our stay!

The cabin was VERY clean and well taken care of. We absolutely loved it. We had 3 teenagers with us and they loved the upstairs. They played a lot of pool up there. The pullout couch was very comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped, everything you need was there. 3 king beds were great. The comforter and sheets were a little stiff but ok. The cabin was plenty large enough for 7 people. Nice property, not on a Cliff. Alan responded to messages promptly. The drive to the cabin wasn’t bad. Our other sister was on Luzerne st and it was a horrible drive up to her cabin. Ours wasn’t real steep and cars could pass each other easily. Would definitely come back to this cabin. Oh—- and the BEST part of it was you had bears everyday. One day we had bears 4 different times. We started to name them. They literally just roam the streets and they are not aggressive. They pretty much look at you and then go on about their business. Just make sure the garbage is secured in the garbage boxes and don’t feed them. Definitely a five star cabin.

Visited with my adult children and house worked well for us. Having three rooms all with king size beds is great. As others have commented the living room is too dark and really needs some better lighting. Also wished there had been some more comfortable seating on the deck. Metal chairs are practical but not comfortable for sitting in to relax. Finally wish there had been some more supplies. We were told that there was just starter supplies so should have known but did have to run out and buy toilet paper, garbage bags, and dish soap.

Very nice place to stay. Comfortable and charming. Got to see some bears. Close enough to town and Pigeon Forge without having to travel a long distance, yet far enough away for peace and quiet. Great views. Thank you

We stayed at Honey Bear Chalet in early May and enjoyed our stay: comfortable beds; spotless throughout. All three of us are readers and were disappointed with the lighting. There was only an overhead light fixture between the living and dining rooms. The house truly needs a couple of floor lamps in the living room and higher wattage bulbs in the lamps upstairs. Overall, it was a lovely home close to downtown Gatlinburg (but away from the bustle) and the national park.

The cabin was just as described and so clean and spotless! And the hot tub was so relaxing. On our last night, it rained some, and then a beautiful rainbow appeared. It was like a postcard picture. I posted it on Facebook! Thanks for giving us a wonderful place to make great memories!

This is a beautiful chalet that is so clean and well decorated. It was the perfect size for my daughter and SIL, their two children, and my husband and myself. The view of the mountains from the chalet is breathtaking. We did have some issues with the hot tub at times, but Alan was quick to respond to any problems we had. You will need a four wheel drive vehicle to get to the property and enjoy the spectacular view.

We have been going for the past two years and we love it each time. My daughters love going and my older daughter specifically wanted this house and calls it “out mountain house” 😂. We can’t wait to go back next year

Great stay, Everything looked clean and maintained.The only reason I gave it a 4 star it's due to some small improvements. For example, there is a pool table and we had to go buy the cue tips, they were old and used so of course the pool sticks didnt work properly. The lighting at the chalet was too dimmed and although the living area had a swicht for the diammable lamp to work it Either did not work or didn't had the right bulbs. We didn't dare to seat on the table that was in the living area as one of the seats had a leg that was about to break so we choose to always eat in the kitchen. Small things that just need a bit maintenance other than that it is a small cozy chalet, I'm not sure why the living area looked bigger in pictures but it was smaller than expected however, My family and I had a great time.

Honey bear was a very nice experience. I did not know the roads were so steep getting to it but that was the only issue. The view was very pretty. Especially when we woke up to snow. All together a great experience.

The home was very nice-It filled all of our needs. We had so many bear encounters there. Love the view and hot tub. It was a family adult get together and love every moment! Property was clean and loved that we did not need to bring sheets and towels! Thanks for sharing your home with us!

Saw bears almost every day at the cabin. It was comfortable for 6 adults. Great location and easy to get everywhere. I hope to come back again someday!

The real down fall to the stay was that I got a bacterial infection from the hot tub. So I spent the whole week getting more spots on me and itching all over. I had to take benadryl the whole time after day 2.

My family and I really enjoyed the week we spent here. Beautiful Chalet! Bears! Close enough to town but secluded enough too. Would definitely recommend to others if looking in the area!

If you want to see bears this is the house for you. There were quite a few different bears that roamed in the area. Keep your vehicles locked at all times even if you are just running into the house for a few minute. We had just arrived and were unloading still. We were all in the house and my dad thankfully walked out onto the deck to his surprise he saw a big ol’ bear in the drivers seat of his trucks. The bear had rummaged through his truck, drank a soda, and tried to open other things. We would go outside to find bear prints on our car windows. We saw a bear everyday at the house. As far as the house it is a very cute house in a great location I relationship to Gatlinburg and the national park. The kids loved the pool table. We went to one of the 3 pools one evening and it was nice as well. The Is older with some things now working, but they didn’t effect our stay. We would stay here again.

Quiet and Relaxing
Honey Bear Chalet is exactly what we needed in our busy lives! We were close enough to downtown Gatlinburg but far enough away from the rest of the world! Even thought there was great internet, we were able to disconnect and enjoy some family and friend time. The kids played pool and chilled in the hot tub while us parents enjoyed all the bear sightings and hanging out on deck!
