Amazing!

I feel like the pictures don’t do this place justice! It was one of the most beautiful cabins we have ever stayed in. The deck and grill were absolutely perfect for our family when we wanted to cook at home. Everything you could imagine needing was provided! We will be back in the future!

Wonderful trip, great memories

INCREDIBLE!!!!

This property is amazing! It has everything you can think of and more! We had the grandkids upstairs in the loft and the adults took the bedrooms. Plenty of room for everyone. It was an easy drive to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Simply an amazing vacation at an amazing property with an absolutely beautiful view. Would definitely recommend to anyone with a group. And yes...we did see bears!!!!!

Thanksgiving family gathering

Beautiful property with awesome views. This was the first time our family has attempted coming together from the north and the south for a vacation and Four Bears Hideaway proved to be an awesome location. Close enough to town, shops and adventure while providing a great escape from the hustle and bustle. With a family of 17 ranging from age 82 to 17 there was plenty of space for gathering and entertainment for all. Would definitely recommend as a great getaway location. Best of all was our bear sighting of mama bear and three cubs. A special thanks to Cindy for answering all my questions and making us feel welcome after a long day of travel.

Dream stay in Gatlinburg!

Fantastic luxury property!!! This place had everything you could ever need - if you never left you would still have the time of your life. But with it's central location to Gatlinburg (and not far from Pigeon Forge), it's an amazing homebase to have. The kids loved all of the games there (pool table, air hockey, arcade machine) and the hot tub. But the biggest draw is the VIEW - it's a majestic way to wake up every day. One thing to note: much like many Smoky Mountain properties, there are some steep hills to climb, so make sure you have a car that you're comfortable doing that with. But that's certainly not a negative - just a watch out! The climb is worth it for this place.

We had a great stay at 4 Bears Hideaway! Our group of 12 former college swimming teammates LOVED the house with its large granite kitchen island, generous kitchen cabinets, beautifully decorated and spacious bedrooms, wine fridge, awesome long-range views of the Smokies from both decks, the relaxing hot tub and multiple spaces to just sit and relax and reconnect. We would highly recommend this place! Note: There is some work to be done on the upper deck and sliding doors but the owner/manager is well-aware and we're confident that it will be taken care of.

Flawless Luxary Cabin

My family and friends (8 of us) stayed here for 3 nights and it was remarkable. This cabin is absolutely excellent. Upon arrival the cabin was very clean. The view is like no other from the deck. We were all very comfortable and this cabin could easily accomdate way more than 8 guests at a time with the 4 full bathrooms. As promised, we were visited 2 mornings in a row by a smaller black bear which was very cool to see. This cabin is a way to be super close with nature, without sacrificing any comforts. The basement is a great way to spend a night in playing pool, foosball, and poker with friends and family. The location is also excellent as it is a short drive to Pigeon Forge or to downtown Gatlinburg. Ubers also do pickup and drop off at this cabin which was very convenient. I would not hesitate to stay at this same cabin again in the future.

This property is amazing. The views are must see but 100% better in person than the amazing ones online. We had 15 people and still plenty of room as we used all three floors and decks all the time. Kids all had an amazing time in the game room and hot tub as well as the entire loft area as their own (which was huge.

Unparalleled Views!

We had a beautiful stay at Four Bears Hideaway. My immediate and extended family have been traveling to this area of Gatlinburg for 30 years. Each of us said that the views from this cabin were unparalleled and nothing like we’ve ever seen. The cabin is updated beautifully, beds were comfy, the cabin was super clean, the listing is accurate, and the property manager and owner were super responsive with communication during our stay. We had some various hiccups with the air conditioning during our stay (we picked an unseasonably hot week for Gatlinburg!) and the owner went above and beyond to ensure that the AC was immediately fixed, and that our stay was as enjoyable. We cannot wait to come back, hopefully in the fall to view the beautiful fall trees from this vantage point!

Gorgeous Just Doesn’t Describe It!!

From the moment we stepped out of our car and saw the breath taking views, tears of joy and awe streamed down my cheeks. The cabin is beyond gorgeous, with everything you could possibly need, and the views, WOW!!! Cindy was absolutely AMAZING to communicate with and was so responsive. As this was my family’s first time in Tennessee, it was also my kids’ first trip on an airplane and we saw snow!! Everything was absolutely perfect, and we actually extended our stay a day and didn’t want to leave!! We will definitely be booking with Cindy, with this cabin, through out the future. Thank you for making all of our dreams come true and being such an amazing person!!

We knew going into our stay It was going to be a beautiful home, but when we pulled up and stood on the back deck, we realized we had the best house around. Inside is extremely clean and well kept. The beds are very comfortable and everything we needed was there. You are at a dead end which makes it even better. The neighbor next to you is extremely friendly and quiet. Do not hesitate to book this amazing home in the mountains.

Great week

My brother and I took our families to Gatlinburg along with our parents to help celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. The cabin was spacious and easily kept our six kids, attention with foosball air, hockey, pool table and arcade. There was also a really neat card room in the basement. The views were absolutely amazing. The drive up wasn’t as steep or bad as I’ve had with other cabins and similar views. My Bed slept comfortable. The kitchen was stocked with all of our needs. The host was very easy to communicate with. The master bedroom and bathroom was very easy to use for my father who’s had some recent healthcare issues. I would highly recommend for multiple families in the Gatlinburg/smoky national Park area

About the host

Hosted by Cindy Meyer

Host profile image
.My husband and I purchased our cabin in 2007 after renting it a couple of times ourselves. The view was breathtaking which led us to our vision of building our dream vacation home. We demolished the entire home except the foundation and begin the design. We currently reside in New Haven, Mo. however after 39 years of marriage, my husband grew to love the Smoky Mountains. The name Four Bears Hideaway is named after our four children. (Pictured above). In 2016 our cabin was one of the 1700 structures that was destroyed in the wild fires, Our hearts were broken, but the memories we shared in family holidays, weddings and reunions will forever be cherished. I lost my husband suddenly in December 2018 before he could see the new cabin completed. However each room and vision he had will forever be displayed in his memory. Our cabin is family owned and operated. Our goal is to share our home, so you can have as many memories as we have had throughout the years. And share the beauty of the mountains.

Why they chose this property

I lived in Tennessee my whole life until moving to Missouri. I can honestly say I've stayed in many areas and visited many places and by far this is the best view around. There are no words to express the view of this property. We have been told by many vendors, guests and neighbors that are view is worth a million dollars. Our cabin is located far enough away to enjoy the peace of the smoky's and yet close enough to all the attractions.

What makes this property unique

Two extra large decks for enjoying the views. The bottom deck is waterproof so you can still enjoy being outdoors regardless of weather conditions. We also have another deck with a large 8-person hot tub overlooking downtown Gatlinburg and the Smoky Mountains.
We have a game room and a card room to entertain the children along with a lot of other entertainment as well. We have 7 grandchildren ourselves, so we chose everything to accommodate all age groups. Each room inside the cabin has a view of the mountain scenery.
