This was the most amazing Vrbo stay. First the condo was decorated to the umpth degree. The host and his wife were amazing. So caring and engaged due to the blizzard. Great location and walk. Will definitely be back. Top of list for excellence.

This was an excellent location. The condo was nicely cleaned and cozy. We enjoyed the balcony and fireplace. Will definitely be back.
Grandma and Grandpa rented the Snoring Bear condo and our three kids and five grandkids rented other condos at Holly Ridge. We thoroughly enjoyed our time in Snoring Bear and we all enjoyed staying at Holly Ridge. We walked downtown to shop and eat and thought the location was perfect for our needs.
The condo was immaculate. The host was professional and always available for any questions or needs. Highly recommend this property. Resident bear made an appearance. The walk down to the Parkway was easy, however, we caught the trolley back up.
Loved our stay! Close to all the shops and hiking areas 10/10

My family really enjoyed our stay here! Not only was it within easy walking and driving distance of Gatlinburg and the various sights of the Great Smokey Mountains, it was quiet and fully furnished with all the amenities we needed! It felt at home far away from home. Would definitely stay here again if we visit the Smokey Mountains again!

This condo was just right. We felt right at home. It was about the cleanest rental we’ve ever stayed at. It was close enough to walk anywhere downtown yet far enough to have a peaceful atmosphere.
This property is in the perfect location. Just minutes from anything you want to walk to but far enough away to enjoy some quiet time. The unit was clean, warm, and cozy. We will definitely book this unit again for our next mountain stay.
It was so clean, comfortable and beautifully decorated; It felt so homey! The location was perfect and the balcony view was gorgeous!! We met a few neighbors and they were so friendly and helpful with information getting around town.
Highly recommend!
The condo was very clean and well supplied. It was just as expected from the listing! We were able to walk to the main street for meals and shopping. I loved that it was within walking distance! We really enjoyed our stay!
The condo was really nice. Clean, comfortable, close to town. Just as described. We Walked everywhere. Owners were very easy to contact and answered all our questions. Would love to come back!
The location of the apartment was just perfect. Walking distance to lots of attractions yet very quiet. The apartment was decorated with lots of love, was super clean and had everything a family could possibly need. The view from the balcony was beautiful and we loved having a pool. Can’t recommend enough. Thanks for a great stay!
It was everything they described and more. Perfect location for us and the Christmas tree was such an added unexpected pleasure. Thank you so much. It was beautiful.
Very clean, comfortable beds, well stocked, and had everything we needed. Attractively decorated throughout.
Loved especially the balcony which had great views including a bear that walked just below us one evening!
Many thanks to Clay and Glenda for all their help with our many TV connection questions and for an enjoyable stay!
Great location. Just a short walk to town which made it so convenient. Clean, cozy and spacious. Large balcony that gave you that extra outdoor space to drink your morning coffee etc. The parking lot was a few short steps away from the front door. Would stay here again!
We had THE BEST visit. Snoring Bear condo was perfect for my husband and me, and my parents. It's far enough from the crazy of downtown Gatlinburg, but close enough to walk to it. There is also a trolley stop at the foot of the main drive if you don't want to walk.Everything about this trip was awesome. The condo was clean and well stocked. Instructions for using the tv were clear and simple. We got to see the resident bear twice!We have been talking about making this an annual trip and will definitely look to stay here again if we do.Thank you so much for being a part of this amazing trip!
