SEASONAL GUIDE TO STAYING AT URSA MAJOR Staying at Ursa Major or the Gatlinburg / Pigeon Forge area is amazing all year round, but there are some things things that are better depending on the season. Here's a general guide: Spring (March/April/May) Temperatures are generally mild with highs mostly in the 60s-70s and lows in the mid 30s-50s. March is one of the busiest months in the area. Bears are starting to venture out of their dens and seeing them around the neighborhood is a regular occurrence (sometimes even with new cubs!). Wildflowers and lightning bugs also are stars of the National Park. Increasing spring rains bring new green foliage, full streams and waterfalls. Note that mountain views from Ursa Major begin to lessen as the leaves fill in. Also, this is a great time to check out Dollywood when it opens for the year. Summer (June/July/August) Average highs in the high 80s and lows in the 60s. Chalet Village pools and recreational facilities are open to Ursa Major guests, and usually are open between Memorial Day and Labor Day. If you're looking for great hiking, the National Park is in full swing. On hotter days, keep in mind that the temperatures cool off by sometimes 10 degrees or more at the higher elevations. Please note that Views are obscured by dense trees at Ursa Major at this time and it feels like a cozy treehouse in the forest! Fall (September/October/November) Obviously the area is known for its amazing fall colors, and Ursa Major is right in the middle of the show! Though the timing of the peak colors vary from year to year, generally you will get to see some foliage between mid-September and early November. The timing also varies by elevation (Ursa Major is about 1100 feet above the town of Gatlinburg). There are many fall festivals happening including Octoberfest at Ober Gatlinburg, Gatlinburg Chili Cookoff, the Craftmen's Fair, Ripley's Fright Nights leading up to Halloween, and more. The leaves fall heavily this time of year and views start getting better depending on the timing. We do have a leaf blower for guest use as it is sometimes difficult for us to keep up with the falling leaves. Winter (December/January/February) While this is the generally the slowest tourist time of year in the area, it's also a great opportunity to enjoy the area without the crowds! If shopping is your thing, that is definitely still on in downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. If you like to ski, Ober Gatlinburg is usually open and they do have snow making capabilities (check their site for current conditions). With the leaves having fallen, mountain views from Ursa Major's window-filled living room and decks are at their best. Make sure to see an amazing sunset from the chalet! Also, keep an eye on the weather - snow and ice are possible, and conditions can even change from downtown on the way up the mountain. Four wheel drive vehicles and snow chains may be needed to get around Chalet Village in the winter months. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Communal pool - Hot tub - Sauna ### Internet - Available in the accommodation: WiFi ### Parking and transport -

Just like last year we absolutely loved our stay. I traveled with my mother, wife and three kids who are 14, 9 and 7\. The cabin offers something for everybody. I love the two wood burning fire places. The pool table and games are wonderful and it also offers a nice, large hot tub. It is very spacious to where everybody can get away when needed. The drive up is fine as long as you are familiar with mountain driving. I have contacted the hosts on both of my trips and they are wonderful people. We have seen bears both of the times we stayed here and it was snowing when we left on the last day. We didn't want to leave. We will definitely be back. ##### James L.

It rained most of our stay. Cabin was cozy. One side of the house was letting water in from the rain so our charcoal got wet, but it was fine. Messaged owner and received an immediate response. Was expecting new towels the next day due to having to get the water off the floor. We didn’t get any, but we’re able to wash what we had (was more worried about damage to the house for the owner). Bears greeted us within 20 minutes of our arrival. It was a very nice stay! ##### Melissa M.

I’ve been to several cabins where pool sticks were broken and no chalk or maybe hot tub wasn’t functioning properly. However, this owner was wonderful. Flexible and attention to detail were spot on. Hot tub was clean and working. Pool table had nice cues and included ample chalk. We got to see some bears coming up the mountain on the way to the cabin. Great experience overall - thank you! ##### Brett B.

Including daily visits from the local bears. (We actually loved seeing them after we got use to it). The owner was fast to reply on questions and concern. We spent 4 nights at this property and found it to be a nice trip to Gatlinburg or Pigeon Forge and the Smokies. Made sure we headed back before dark as the switch back road getting to the house was a bit scary the first time but had no trouble after the first time in daylight. The hot tub and sauna were wonderful as well as the pool table. We loved being on the deck in the evening and first thing in the morning as the sun was coming up. The house had lots of space for 4 of us and a 7 month old baby. ##### Cheryl D.

We stayed five nights and were able to come back each day after hiking and siteseeiing to enjoy a quiet and relaxing time resting in the comfy beds, living room or hot tub. The place was very clean and well stocked. The kitchen is a little bit tiny but we made do. It is quite a windy and a little bit scary drive to the cabin for me -a flatlander ;) - but my husband didn’t have a problem. The bear were definitely around. One crawled in our car after we brought pizza home- we forgot to lock the doors and it could smell the pizza though there was none in the car. No damage but gave my sister a fright when she went out to get something g outside and the bear was right there. Another bear crawled up the tree as my husband was sitting in the hot tub literally about ten feet away! The owners were very responsive and it was super easy to check in and out. We definitely recommend this place! and stocked well. ##### Tanya E.

Our stay at Pete and Tara's home was wonderful! With a group of six, we had daily bear sightings—an exciting, unique experience. The bedrooms were cozy, and the double decks were perfect for relaxing among the trees. There wasn’t much of a mountain view due to tall trees, but the listing photos accurately show each season’s views. We visited in fall, and the scenery matched the winter photos with bare trees. The updated rec room sound system was great, and I loved the Bluetooth speakers! The sauna and hot tub were also perfect for unwinding after a day of hiking or exploring the city. There were plenty of games to keep us entertained indoors. If you’re not comfortable with steep, curvy roads, this spot might not be ideal. Have someone guide you into the driveway and watch for bears. While we had no issues, bears did open a nearby car door, so keep cars locked and food out. The house had ample space for all of us, and the kitchen was well-equipped. I’d recommend grabbing groceries at Walmart before heading up, especially if you want to avoid driving at night. The owners were fantastic and quickly shared our bear encounter video, which gave us all a good laugh! Just a short drive to town, the location is convenient for shopping, moonshine tasting, and dining. The house was thoughtfully stocked with essentials, and we felt safe with the bears nearby by following the owners’ advice. We would definitely stay here again! ##### Danielle E.

My family and I came down to Gatlinburg for my daughters dance nationals. This house was about 15 minutes from the convention center, which is where we needed to go daily. The house was cery clean, and organized. We loved the hot tub out on the patio. The seperate upstairs/downstairs was perfect for splitting up the family and the gameroom bed was perfect for my 4 and 6 year olds! The community pool was PERFECT for my kids. It was clean, nice staff, and facilities were cleaned. We were bery careful to keep our car doors locked and food out od the vehicle. However, we did come home for a quick lunch and shower. We came back outside to find the passenger door was opened and the neighbors stated a bear opened it. The bear was next door and smashed the window of that vehicle...thankfully not ours! SO...make sure you DO NOT HAVE FOOD IN YOUR CAR, and LOCK YOUR DOORS! We did see about 6 bears in the area. They are really cute, but that last bear was a little intense. Must've been a mama! The communication between myself and the owners was very womderful. We needed to extend our stau by one day. The week before, they reached out right back with confirmation. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would love to stay there again! ##### Courtney K.

I have stayed in several cabins in the Gatlinburg area and the interior of this one is my favorite so far. The main floor is so comfortable windows everywhere. The kitchen looks small on the pictures, but it is an open enough floor plan so you really don't think about it. The master bed room is huge. All bedrooms were very comfortable and met our needs. I have a 13 year old and she stayed on the bed in the game room and loved it. It gave her some space. Speaking of the game room, it has a very nice pool table with everything you need and a perfectly placed bar area. The hot tub was perfect and we used it every night. My favorite part of the cabin is that it has wood burning fireplaces on both levels. It was wonderful to have one upstairs while watching tv, but also be able to light one if you are going to be downstairs. Make sure to bring your own wood. I grilled burgers and the grill works great. I had a few questions for Pete during the week and he answered me very quickly every time. He even called once to explain something, so the hosts are great. All week we were looking for the bears. On the last day, after we had given up, I was about to go outside to put something in my truck and there they were walking down the road. We watched 4 of them for about 15 minutes. If I had to say anything negative, I have stayed in cabins with better views, but it is still good. Great place. 10/10!!! ##### James L.
