It is closed to cars and open to runners and cyclists Wednesday and Saturday mornings until 10:00am Early May to Late September. Gorgeous views, wildlife, and a pretty good chance you'll see a bear.

There are plenty of amazing hikes at Newfound Gap on the way up such as Andrews Bald and "The Jump Off" and more hikes in the Clingman's Dome area.

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!

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!

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.

Vacation Get Away

This cabin was absolutely wonderful! So much so even my husband complemented me multiple times on what a great booking I selected. The hot tub was so relaxing after each days hike through the Smokies. We even got to see two black bear encounters on the property! This place is perfect for couples looking to have a quiet relaxing get away!!

Hey Bear Cabin

This was a nice secluded place to stay, check in/out was easy. The cabin is well arranged and decorated. I will say the walls need a good dusting but over all it was clean. We did bring our dog and the grass area was a bit smaller than I expected but it was enough. We enjoyed our stay and would do so again!

Outdoor living was more private than neighboring cabins.

It was peaceful but close enough to town that a day trip was not a problem.
