Chubby Bear

We went here on our honeymoon and we loved it so much! The hot tub and sauna were amazing and the views were gorgeous! Everything was great!

This cabin is the perfect spot for a mountain getaway. It has it all: hot tub, sauna, pool table, home movie theater, and so much more! It has beautiful views and all the peaceful tranquility your soul desires!

Chubby Bear was a beautiful cabin with beautiful views! My code didn’t work to get in the house, but Justin had a new one entered in a matter of minutes which got us in! The upstairs bathroom did have some dripping from the ceiling (probably ac above us) and a leak in the basement when main floor shower was in use. We let the host know so that could be fixed and didn’t cause bigger problems later. Other than that it was great! Good distance to town, gorgeous views!

It was cold and dreary but the cabin was beautiful and comfortable. The hot tub was a great benefit as our plans at Dollywood were rained out.

Beautiful cabin located high up in the smokey mountains. It has a wonderful view over a valley and everyone enjoyed themselves. Close to Pigeon Forge and Dollywood.

We planned a girl's trip. We loved the cabin especially the hot tub and fireplace. 2 of the seats in the front row of the movie theater were broke and didn't recline. The host was great at communicating before and during the trip.

great place to stay and the kids loved the games and pool table.

We had a great stay at the Cabin! Shane and Justin were easy to communicate with and responded quickly to our questions. We had a nice stay and enjoyed relaxing evenings at the cabin in the hot tub and sauna and using the movie room after long days enjoying all there is to do in town!

Great place for our family, making memories!

Great cabin, all amenities matched the pictures and description perfectly. Host was responsive and very helpful with all things we possibly needed. Would definitely book again.

Shane and Justin were both extremely helpful, great communicators. They were both helpful and kind. It was quiet and cozy with remarkable views! This home made our family getaway amazing.

- Posted: 9/22/2024

It was a little hard to find, small roads, so if you have a large truck, it might be tricky. Beautiful surroundings, close to everything Pigeon Forge has to offer. Great Host!!! Will come back again!

- Posted: 9/15/2024

We had a GREAT time while at Chubby Bear Cabin!! Even tho we lost water due to storms, the stay was everything we expected!! The pool table was the most used item in the cabin!! The renter was very responsive with and questions or concerns and responded in a very timely manner! We will for sure be visiting again!! Thank you for the memories!

Aita thank you for taking the time to leave your review for Chubby Bear. I'm happy to hear that you had a great stay! Thank you for choosing to stay with me and we hope that you'll come back and stay again.

The house has an amazing view. A great play room/ tv area that my kids enjoyed. The house had no major issues just some small improvements probably from being used by multiple renters. Shane was great at reaching out and answering any questions I had, he also sent lots of information about things to do. Since there was our first experience at staying in the area I can’t compare but overall if I didn’t stay at this house I would reach out for the other cabins available that he hosts!

- Posted: 7/27/2024

Thanks for the positive review Cindy! I'm glad you and your kids enjoyed the play room and the amazing view from the house. . I'm always happy to answer any questions and provide recommendations for things to do in the area. If you ever come back to the area, I'd love to host you again. Thanks for choosing Chubby Bear for your stay!

Hey Maritza! Thanks for the great review. I'm glad you enjoyed your stay and everything went smoothly. It's always nice to hear my guests had a good time. You're welcome back anytime for future vacations. Take care!

Smoky Mountain Holiday staff

It was really cool to be that far up in the mountain, felt like we were in the clouds with amazing sunsets. There was plenty to do activity wise, but we settled most nights on the top floor with pool and sunsets. This house was the perfect place to come back to after a day around Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge.

- Posted: 7/3/2024

Hey John! Thanks for your review. I'm so glad you enjoyed your stay and the amazing sunsets from the top floor—one of my favorite spots too! Happy to hear you found plenty to do in the area. Thanks for choosing my place, and I hope to have you back in the future!

We enjoyed our stay at Chubby Bear cabin. The view is spectacular. We had 8 people and had just enough space to spread out and not be on top of each other. Hot tub and sauna were great. All four TVs worked fine, but it might be helpful to have some laminated instructions since each one operates differently and we spent a good amount of time figuring each one out. Loved all the board game options but every one we picked out had a significant number of pieces missing, so we had to make our own replacement pieces. Check in was easy but we were there right at 4pm and it wasn’t ready until 4:45 so we waited in our cars and were offered an extra hour to check out. The kitchen was perfect, fully stocked with everything we needed. Beds were mostly comfortable, but the Queen on the lowest level was very hard and could use a mattress topper. The movie theater was set up awesome with game tables and recliners but the front row of recliners weren’t working so we couldn’t enjoy them as a group as we had hoped. We notified them and were told they would be repaired during our stay but no one came. Overall, we had a great time. We spent the majority of our time in the cabin to enjoy it so it was a little disappointing to look forward to what was advertised and not fully get to use it. We understand things happen, just giving an honest review.

Hey Marcia! Thanks for taking the time to leave a review for my Chubby Bear cabin. I’m glad you enjoyed the spectacular view and spaciousness. I’m sorry about the missing board game pieces and the confusion with the TVs; I appreciate your feedback about the laminated instructions. I also apologize for the recliners in the movie theater not working; I’ll get them repaired immediately. Despite these issues, I’m happy to hear you had a great time overall and enjoyed the fully stocked kitchen. Thank you for choosing my cabin, and I hope to have you back for another visit in the future!

We had an amazing stay! The cabin was comfortable and the views amazing! We highly recommend this wonderful spot.

We had an amazing time and wished we could've stayed longer. We had 3 teenagers with us who absolutely loved playing pool, the hot tub and the game/movie room. The layout was perfect for our group with 4 separate sleeping areas.

Hi Kimberly! It's fantastic to hear that you had an amazing time at the cabin! Teenagers can be tough to please, so it's wonderful that they loved the pool, hot tub, and game/movie room. And having a layout that works well for your group is the cherry on top! We're thrilled that you enjoyed your stay, and we'd love to have you back for even more unforgettable memories in the future!

It was our first AirBnB and our experience was great. It was away from the bustle of town but close enough to not take very long to get to places.
The cabin itself felt like home. We loved the hot tube on the deck overlooking the mountains. The decor of the cabin made the experience even more special.
The cabin is as most others up in the mountains, but the roads are clearly marked and not as steep as some places we saw. We had no trouble at all getting back and forth to our home away from home.
Again, very good experience!

- Posted: 5/10/2024

Hello there, Heidi. Well, I couldn't be happier to hear that your first Airbnb adventure went so smoothly! It's all about finding that sweet spot between serenity and accessibility, right? And there's something extraordinary about a cabin that feels like home, especially with a relaxing hot tub and those majestic mountain views! So glad those mountain roads didn't pose any trouble for you and your family. Here's to many more wonderful experiences together!

Fantastic location, peaceful surroundings.

Would highly recommend, and return, for future stays!!

This place was perfect for me and my 8 year olds vacation. Amazing cabin and had everything to keep us entertained for our whole 7 day stay without leaving the cabin at all. It made our vacation amazing. Location is pristine and just minutes from everything. And at a great price. I highly recommend this cabin. It sleeps 8 people comfortably. We had plenty of room.
