Great cabin. It is an older building built in the 70s, but REALLY well maintained. Host communication was timely and the place was spotless. The view of the mountains from the porch is mostly obstructed by trees, but there are amazing views from the road every time you are leaving or coming back to the cabin, so not a big deal.This cabin is on a bear path and it is highly likely that you will see black bear. Don't leave food outside and you shouldn't have too much to worry about.Would rent again.

Thanks for staying at Honey Bear and glad you enjoyed your time! Honey Bear is a classic A-frame from the 70s and it was a pleasure modernizing it with all the comforts and conveniences that we have come to expect on vacation. Can't beat a real mountain lodge for atmosphere! Hope to see you all again!

This cabin was beautiful and the perfect spot for us to go snowboarding at Ober Mountain as well as visit downtown Gatlinburg. Alan was so helpful when our dates changed very last minute. The bed was comfy, and we definitely made use of the fireplace, hot tub, and pool table.

The cabin was cozy, great location, and as expected. It was a quick drive to anything we wanted to do and a fairly private feel. Beautiful view and of course we were ecstatic to see bears walking up the road. Our only complaint was the terrible TP and the old drip coffee maker instead of a Keurig :)

Response from VrboOwner on 13 October 2025
Thanks for the review! We try to provide easy to service coffee options including a recently purchased filter drip coffee maker, french press, and moka pot. Regarding T.P., we use recycled, septic approved product. The mountain environment is sensitive to such things. Glad you enjoyed your stay and hope to see you again!

About the host

Hosted by Alan

Host profile image
Well-traveled, south-east family with a love for the natural beauty of the area! Grew up vacationing near the Smoky's (in tents) with the family in the 80s.

Why they chose this property

Perfect location for family fun in Gatlinburg!! Stay at home and enjoy the mountain around or use it as the base to go visit the local sights. Honey Bear will fit the bill!

Located 1/2 a mile from Ober Gatlinburg Ski Resort and right above Gatlinburg (5 min drive to downtown Gatlinburg and Smoky Mountain Park entrance).

Honey Bear is on a ridge with direct views of Mt LecConte and side views of the mountains behind and to the sides. The chalet gets good natural light from all sides and throughout the day. It had 'good bones' and was ready for a contemporary renovation! Close to everything the area has to offer but with privacy and exceptional scenery!

What makes this property unique

Honey Bear has been renovated and maintained to embrace modern living while maintaining the heart of an 'authentic mountain chalet'. It was never intended as a business, but rather as a place that our extended family would want to come and gather together. We expect high standards and want our guests to have the same experience!

Expect high quality finishes, furnishings 'made in America' , and decorated in a unique and tasteful manner. Think: traditional mountain home, but without sacrificing modern comforts.

After a day of hiking or in the city, there is nothing quite like returning to Honey Bear Chalet to enjoy outdoor grilling, a hot tub under the stars, and movie nights together!
