One of our recent guests said: “We did not want to leave! Had an amazing time, this cabin has every creature comfort and something fun for everyone!! The kids were in heaven and swimming for hours every day! Fireflies gave the evenings even more magic! There was space for everyone if needed and plenty of bathrooms. We could have stayed at the house the whole time without exploring the area and had a great trip! (Although pigeon forge was super fun too) Thank you for an awesome trip, we want to go back for sure!!” Date of arrival - June 6, 2024

Cabin was as described. Clean. We enjoyed the location because we were not wanting to drive up windy mountain hills to get to our location. Great outdoor porch with fireplace that we used a lot. .
With four kids and four adults, we had plenty of room with all the amenities! Great location, easy to get to, easy drive to downtown pigeon forge. Great communication with host. Will definitely book again!
This property was perfect for our family and kiddos of all ages! The property manager was very prompt and helpful when we had an issue arise. We are looking forward to staying there again in the future!
Our family of 8 LOVED our stay here! The game room and theatre was a hit with our teens/young adults and the indoor pool and ship playhouse kept my 8 year old entertained the entire time! Erik was a great host! Will definitely stay again!
Water Bear is an amazing cabin!! We throughly enjoyed our stay! The neighborhood is quiet, the house has all you want and more. We spent time enjoying the outdoor fire place. The children enjoyed the pool and adults enjoyed the hot tub. We can’t wait to stay here again!
Erik is awesome to work with. He is spot on with everything you need to have a memorable stay. The cabin was very clean, well stocked, and i cant say enough about how great the pool is. My entire family loved every minute of our stay and we would definitely consider staying here again.
We truly enjoyed this beautifully decorated cabin. Our favorites were the outdoor fireplace, hot tub and the indoor pool! There was plenty of space for our party of 8 with room to spare! We definitely would consider staying here again!
We loved this property! We stayed for a long weekend for our son’s birthday. There were 6 adults and 6 children, and there was plenty of room! The kids loved the pool, playground, game room and theatre! Perfect stay! Can’t wait to go back!
We loved everything about this property! The cabin was so nice and has so many things for everyone to do. The kids loved the indoor pool and the outdoor ship. The location was great and so close to the main rd in pigeon forge. The host was great and very easy to communicate with: thanks for a great stay, we will be back!
This was a great location for a Smoky Mountain get away. Close to Dollywood, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The house was very clean and well equipped. The pool, game room and theatre room were big hits.
This cabin was everything it was marketed to be in the overview and description. Absolutely gorgeous, more than spacious for our group of 9, all the things you need to cook meals and enjoy the kitchen for meals together. Pool room was a hit for the kids, hottub was great for adults. Totally convenient location to everything we wanted to enjoy, national park hiking, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, really perfect.
We stayed for a week with my family for Christmas. We all enjoyed the facilities. The pool, the cinema room, etc. No one was bored. We had a very pleasant week.
We had a wonderful trip and experience staying at this home. The area surrounding is so beautiful and peaceful. Our kiddos loved the movie room, game room, and the indoor pool. The location is great as you feel secluded but took only 10ish minutes to get into Pigeon Forge. We saw a ton of wildlife from the deck/porch. An amazing stay—we would stay again and hope to in the future!
This is the second time our family of 10 has enjoyed Fall Break at Water Bear. The property is pristine, large enough to accommodate us all, and well equipped for a fun weekend with kids! We will definitely return.
It’s hard to get all the family (parents, kids and grandparents) together under the same roof with work, school and life but we took the perfect fall break vacation together and had the best time! Perfect location, spacious house, comfortable beds, everything clean and the pool/hot tub/outside living area provided great entertainment. Perfect for large families. Will be back again and recommend to everyone we know!
Our entire family had so much fun! It was close enough to the necessities and a short drive to pigeon forge! It was also far enough away to enjoy the peace and sounds of nature! The real star was the outdoor ship! So much time was spent outside playing! I cannot recommend this cabin enough. We will be back!
Water Bear is a great location if you are wanting to stay in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. It is just far enough outside of Pigeon Forge to feel like you are secluded, but close enough to quickly get to Pigeon Forge. My wife and I stayed with our 2 year old, who greatly enjoyed the pirate ship and private swimming pool. This is one of the cleanest and well maintained VRBO's that we stayed in. Erik was very responsive and ensured our stay met our expectations. The rooms are very spacious and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and had pretty much any cookware/utensils you would need while on vacation. Would highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting the area.
