Thank you for spending your Valentines weekend with us! We are glad you had fun and we hope you can visit us again soon at one of our three VRBO properties! Thank you Clay and Glenda
Our stay was great . It’s a beautiful condo and very clean. It is walkable to the strip however for my elder mother that was with me it was to far and up hill making it impossible for her to walk. However that didn’t effect our stay we throughly enjoy the condo and would highly recommend it.

Thanks for staying with us! So glad you had fun! yes GATLINBURG IS IN THE MOUNTAINS for sure. We have walked this town for two decades or more and we find it easy to navigate from here but yes if you are bringing elderly guests it is probably best to drive all over the area, even downtown Gatlinburg is not flat. Thanks and we hope you can stay with us again soon. Thanks, Clay and Glenda

Snoring Bear condo was a lovely place to stay. Beautifully decorated, very clean, a nice outdoor pool and super close to downtown Gatlinburg. Clay Dalton was fantastic when we needed an extra nights stay and ensured we had everything we needed for our stay. We will definitely book this condo again.

So glad we could accomodate your needs and that you enjoyed your stay with us, we strive to make every visit a 5-star experience! Hope you can visit one of our three VRBO properties again soon! Clay and Glenda
The condo is perfect for 2 couples. Clean, nicely decorated and very comfy. The only reason we gave 4 stars is that it is on a very steep hill and not walkable to town for older people or those with knee or hip issues. Even tho the trollie stops on the corner of the street, it is still a steep climb to get back to condo. The condo itself was perfect for our needs.

Thanks for staying with us, we strive for 5-star reviews and are disappointed that you left us a 4-star review because Gatlinburg is in the mountains, certainly you can drive anywhere in Gatlinburg if you needed to, you should probably check with owners about the terrain nearby for your special needs if that is a factor for your family trips. Thanks again and best wishes! Clay and Glenda Dalton
We enjoyed our stay at the snoring bear. It was so cozy and perfect for our couples trip! We will most definitely book again!!!

Fantastic! So glad you had fun! We were just there and decorated for Christmas by putting up the tree! Hope you can visit us again soon! Thanks Clay and Glenda Dalton
I have stayed here multiple times. Its a great condo. Pro Tip. If you go out the front door around the right side of the building, there is a path through a small wooded area that comes out by the hotel and you can have a 5 minute walk down to the main street of Gatlinburg.

Thanks for staying with us in the beautiful SNOWY winter wonderland of GATLINBURG TENNESSEE! I know that was beautiful to see! I think Bubba bear must have been in hibernation and maybe you can see him next trip! Thanks for being a VRBO guest and we hope you can visit one of our 3 10-star properties again soon! Clay and Glenda, your hosts!
This condo was beautiful! So clean, cozy, and a great location. The owners checked on us to make sure we arrived and everything met our satisfaction.

Thank you for your great review. We always strive for a 5-star experience for our guests and one of the most concerning issues for guests is "who do we call if we cant find the property, or have trouble with the door?" We like to make sure folks can contact us if needed. Hope you can stay with us again soon. Beautiful Christmas lights just around the corner!
Clay & Glenda were very accommodating! Their condo was well equipped, very clean & sooo cozy! The location was perfect with a beautiful view, close to downtown Gatlinburg but away from all the traffic! We definitely recommend the Snoring Bear condo!

So glad our favorite bear performed for yall on your trip! It's all fun and games until they sneak up on you! About 2 years ago I was standing outside and heard something breathing! Turned around to see a bear about 20 feet away! He was small like a dog but he went his way and I went mine! Thanks for staying with us! Book your holiday trips now at one of our 3 properties!
We have loved it here. When we arrived the Condo was so clean I could have ate off the floor. That’s hard to find in Gatlinburg! Location was amazing, private, quiet. If I could give it 10 stars I would! Condo was well stocked and even had a Christmas tree which my daughter loved. Great place and Great Owner!!

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.
