Other Things to Note
Please be aware, we are in the mountains, we have bears! While they seem cute and friendly, do not approach the bears, call bears to you, feed the bears, and do not leave trash out. If you are eating on the balcony and bears approach, please take all your food, drinks, and accessories and go indoors. Bears can and will climb onto the balcony for your food, even if you are out there. Do not leave food in your vehicles, (not even Happy Meal crumbs 🥰) bears can open doors and will get into your vehicle and may cause damages. Bears are often in our area; we are very close to the National Park! Keep your doors locked and windows up at all times! As long as you leave the bears alone, they will normally leave you alone and keep to themselves.

Wi-Fi/cable can be unreliable as we are in the mountains. If an outage occurs there is nothing we can do until the cable company is able to fix the issue.

Smoking is prohibited inside the condo and on the back balcony. If you smoke inside, you will be charged an additional cleaning fee. You are welcome to smoke on the front covered patio. Close the door securely so smoke does not enter the condo. You will also be responsible for proper disposal of cigarette butts. Do not “flick” cigarettes on the ground. Thank you for your cooperation and courtesy.
Make yourself comfortable in this air-conditioned condo, which features a fireplace and a Smart TV. There's a private balcony. A kitchen is outfitted with a refrigerator, an oven, and a stovetop. Complimentary wireless internet access keeps you connected, and a DVD player is provided for your entertainment.

Great Trip!

This was a wonderful home. The location was perfect for everything we wanted to do. The condo was very nice and had that welcoming feeling. The host(s) thought of everything from information that would help on our visit to amenities of home. She was so friendly and genuinely wanted us to be comfortable and have a good time. Will be staying here again!

The property was clean and well maintained. The location is nice, it’s only about a 15 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg. The owner was very easy to communicate with and very helpful.

Beautiful place

Great place and it had everything we needed. The only downside is the curvy road that you must take in and out of the property. This location would not be good for anyone afraid of driving in the mountains. The property is well kept and is a great place to get away from the busy Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge touristy areas!

This condo was fabulous. Clean, great communication from the owner, and fully equipped. The road to the condo is not for the faint of heart. Very Steep, narrow, and winding.

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!

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!
