Short but GREAT stay

The house was exactly what we expected when we arrived. It was clean, spacious, close to a few restaurants and a short walk to the trolley stop. We will definitely stay here again.

Great Home away from Home

This is a wonderful place to stay in Gatlinburg! The large front yard, patio area, and the home its self met all our needs for us, our children and grandchildren. Its location is close to Gatlinburg, but feels like you are in the country. I would recommend highly.

Clean, comfortable and great location!

We stayed for 3 nights to celebrate my husband’s birthday. The house was just as expected. We loved that there was a grocery store just a couple of minutes away. The host had extras that we don’t typically find in rentals including laundry detergent, coffee pods and grounds, sugar and hand soap in all bathrooms. There were plenty of towels for showers and the hot tub. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location and property

This property was perfect for our family. The master bed was so comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. The house is nicely done and even decorated for the holidays, which was a nice surprise. The hot tub was a perfect ending to our days. The house feels secluded, but is within a mile of the main Gatlinburg area or go the back way and miss the traffic and head towards Pigeon Forge. Only negative at all was the dishwasher was broke during our stay. We would definitely book again.

Great Smoky Mountain Long Weekend

Perfect for our family of 6. Good location. Most comfortable beds ever. Nice selection of kitchen stuff especially kuerig/coffee maker. Just bring your suitcases and whatever food you want & you’re good to go. Toilet in master bath needs to be bolted down better only issue. Granddaughters we’re looking for more kid/family DVD’s. They were so excited when a bear walked thru front yard! Would definitely stay at Bear Hollow again!👍

Good Stay

Bear Hollow was clean and had just about everything we needed. It was a bit away from the downtown area so we did have to drive and park for the Aquarium and other visits. Not a big issue but closer would have been nice. The price was very affordable compared to other listings and Lynn was very responsive and helpful with communication. We had four adults, four kids (3,4,5,6) and one infant and had plenty of room. A bear took a nap on the hot tub in the middle of the night and Lynn sent us a snap of the camera. The kids loved it! Great spot if you want somewhere a little quieter to relax with family.

Peaceful retreat

We absolutely loved this place! Close enough to the city but far enough away to have peace and quiet. The fireflies were an amazing site each night too! The house is spacious and had everything you could need. It made our kids feel right at home and even had a few DVDs and games. Everything was conveniently located near the property location and though we had a vehicle, the trolley stop is within a half mile of walking, along with a few nearby restaurants, grocery, and a great donut/dessert place. A plus for us was that we traveled by RV and the driveway had plenty of space for us to park it and use the rental Jeep we acquired to get around. Nice quiet, peaceful, end of the street location with a huge property yard space for kids to run around outside while grilling and relaxing! I would definitely stay here again if we return to Gatlinburg! Owner was great on communication and to respond to our questions.
