Long Weekend with Friends

All around great experience! We had a group of 19 adults and there was plenty of space for all of us. The cabin is beautiful both inside and out. The views of the mountains are also incredible. Swim spa was a hit with the group and a major plus for this property! Canā€™t beat the location also. You will be close enough to everything in downtown Gatlinburg, but still feel the seclusion of a mountain cabin as other cabins are a good distance apart. Hosts are kind, responsive, and do a wonderful job making this property feel like a home for your stay! 10/10 would stay here again and I recommend this property for any large group.

Fantastic cabin stay

We had an amazing stay at this cabin with our group of 18! The spacious master suites provided the adults with plenty of comfort, and the thrill of spotting bears nearby added an unforgettable touch to our trip. However, we decided not to use the fire pit to roast marshmallows for this reason! The cabin's convenient proximity to town made it easy to explore local attractions. The owner was also very responsive. Highly recommend!

Gatlinburg Vacation at Hoobear Lodge

The house was excellent, plenty of beds and bathrooms. The view of the mountains and the town were amazing, and the town was only a short drive away. The visiting bears were exciting.

Great Location

The location to the main strip was great. Once down the hill just steps from Ober to your right and the Smokey Mt park a short drive to your left. The walk down to the strip wasnā€™t as difficult as going up. We walked down but when we returned we had some who easily could walk up the steep hill get the car and drive us up. The house did Not feel cramped with our family of 16 - only 5 were under 14. The host was responsive to anything that came up. We would stay there again. The kids had a great time in their space on the lower floor.

Family time

Wonderful vacation home. Bears were a little worrying, we had a few in the backyard several times. Driveway was a bit crowded for five vehicles and Savage Road would be improved if a few mirrors would added to help with the very tight turns.

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 otherā€™s company.

Great place to stay!

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!

Great location!

Pros: location to Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Size of the house for large groups was great. We enjoyed seeing the bears - maybe too many? lol The bears were not at all afraid of us and walked right up to the porch and over the gate while we were on it. Cons: would have been nice to have dressers in the bedrooms and hangers in the closets. Between all 6 bedrooms we found 5 or 6 hangers to share. We had to live out of our suitcases for the week.

Great location, daily bear visits

The house is very new and all the amenities worked well. The pictures are accurate. Overall, we had a great experience and would rent this house again if we were to go back to Gatlinburg. The house is located on the end of the strip, so I highly recommend using the bypass to get there. We did have a young male bear visit the house everyday and a female with two cubs came by 2 out of 4 days, Definitely keep the doors locked on the house and cars.

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.

Gorgeous Views and Perfect Location

Perfect location in Gatlinburg, on the edge of the Smokey Mountains with an amazing view from almost every room. The house had plenty of space for our family of 10. Very clean, comfortable beds and furniture and everyone enjoyed the huge hot tub overlooking Anakeesta. Quiet and peaceful outside space for our dogs as well as a fire pit. Located close to the only trail in Gatlinburg that allows dogs for our daily walks. Convenient little store at the bottom of the hill, to pick up food, snacks, drinks and adult beverages with a gas station next door. We had a great time exploring the area for a week vacation. We also enjoyed relaxing and cooking breakfast and dinner in the kitchen. Eva was very easy to communicate with and we had no issues or problems with anything. We hope to come visit again soon.
