We enjoyed our stay and even saw bears! There was constant communication with the property manager. The condo was nice and represented accurately on the posting. Very pleasant experience! Only drawback is the two flights of stairs with elderly guests was difficult but no ones fault. Next time, I'd book a third floor unit (which is ground level with the parking spots), just didn't know that ahead of time. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

Comfy and much needed!
The property manager is amazing! Never experienced such kindness and follow through at a stay before. The condo is super comfy and everything you need is there. There are alot of bears in all of the area of Gatlinburg so be aware to keep your doors on cars locked and no food or scents in your vehicle. We watched a bear try to get in my car and go into many vehicles with our own eyes. Take it seriously. Would definitely go back in a heart beat!

Smoky mountain get-away
We had a great stay. I do have a few suggestions. It would be helpful to have a few more items available for cooking, more dishes to use, more toilet paper available for a family of 5 and maybe a few more items available for cooking (different seasonings, oil etc). Also, if the rental has been said to sleep 6 people, make sure the blow-up mattress on the pull-out couch is in working order. Thank you

A perfect spot to relax
We had a great time staying at Alpine Bear! The place is very cozy and the perfect spot to relax. It was neat and well-maintained, providing a comfortable and enjoyable stay. Its proximity to downtown Gatlinburg is a major plus, as there are plenty of activities and attractions nearby to keep you entertained. Highly recommended for a fun and relaxing getaway!

Nice Condo
This condo was very nice and clean. We watched bears play in the back yard. Very curvy roads getting there and our gps never took us the same way twice. We enjoyed our stay very nice owners we would recommend!
