Good Stay
Bear Hollow was clean and had just about everything we needed. It was a bit away from the downtown area so we did have to drive and park for the Aquarium and other visits. Not a big issue but closer would have been nice. The price was very affordable compared to other listings and Lynn was very responsive and helpful with communication. We had four adults, four kids (3,4,5,6) and one infant and had plenty of room. A bear took a nap on the hot tub in the middle of the night and Lynn sent us a snap of the camera. The kids loved it! Great spot if you want somewhere a little quieter to relax with family.

Great location and property
This property was perfect for our family. The master bed was so comfortable and the kids loved the bunk beds. The house is nicely done and even decorated for the holidays, which was a nice surprise. The hot tub was a perfect ending to our days. The house feels secluded, but is within a mile of the main Gatlinburg area or go the back way and miss the traffic and head towards Pigeon Forge. Only negative at all was the dishwasher was broke during our stay. We would definitely book again.

About the host

Hosted by Lynn Gross

Host profile image
Vacationing in the Great Smoky Mountains is our favorite pastime. We are four generations of family who have made memories in these mountains over the last six decades.

We own Bear Hollow so that we can offer other families the experience we have so loved. Come stay with us and experience our family home at the foot of the mountains. We hope you enjoy it there as much as we do! If you decide to stay at our home, you'll be working directly with us, the owners.

Why they chose this property

Bear Hollow offers a cozy and affordable vacation rental to families - especially families with children. Having 12 grandchildren ourselves, it's important to us that our home is inviting to the smallest of mountaineers and accommodating for family togetherness.

Our grown children even bring their friends and stay together in the house. Sleeping 10, it perfectly holds two adult couples and a gaggle of children. With a large front yard, it's a great place to let kids run free while you sit on the deck, sip coffee, and admire Mt. LeConte.

What makes this property unique

Bear Hollow is fantastically located in Gatlinburg. Just a short drive to downtown, to the park entrance, to the grocery store and to the historic arts & crafts trail. The more adventurous among you can even make a 5 minute stroll to the restaurants at the foot of the mountain (Little House of Pancakes, LeConte Tappas & Grill and Alamo Steakhouse) or a 15 minute walk into downtown.
