Recent visitors had this to say about their experience
❛❛ Beautiful winding mountain drive, seemingly secluded home, yet near a few small markets with all necessities available for purchase. Easy access to both Gatlinburg via Ski Mountains Road and Pigeon Forge via Bypass. Prickly Bear is the first unit a row of 4 townhouses, but the place is sound proof- we never heard the neighboring guests. This home was so comfortable and the perfect cozy space for my family of 6. ❜❜ (Lori)
❛❛ We came down for a family vacation and was very pleased with the stay. The place was clean and had the all the essentials. It even had food storage containers which I thought was a really nice touch and something I don't usually see at other places. The location was great and even got to see a bear up close! It came to our door, but still felt safe, the bear left shortly after visiting. It was a great experience for the kids, precious memories. ❜❜ (William)
❛❛ Nice place located just less than 3 miles from downtown Gatlinburg. Quiet neighborhood. Nice Condo and amenities ❜❜ (Derrell)
