Property was clean and provided all the basic needed for a nice weekend with a nice view and can be recommended.Comfy beds, well stocked kitchen and grill (which we used). Located about 30 minutes from southern entrance to Smoky Mountains.Some hiccups with wifi connection and dirty sheets, but a quick response from owner/manager resolved it without issues.Some of property website photos are misleading as no jacuzzi nor some of 'views' in photo library as it is not the view from the property, but from the surrounding area. Also would have been nice to know 1 bathroom is on lower floor, and not close to the bedrooms.

First off, the pictures are misleading. I was looking forward to the hot tub. This was my anniversary trip. There was no hot tub, no pond & Mountain View has grown up. There was also an issue with the WiFi. The documents they sent me said no password required. I messaged the property manager who told me to use an Xfinity remote to get the password on the tv. There was no xfinity remote. I finally found the password on the welcome book. Also the drive up to the cabin was terrible. If I didn’t have a 4x4, I would’ve been stuck. Also the 3 car parking is directly in a line with no way to get out but to have everyone move their cars behind you. The driveway is steep, one way, & gravel. It also washes out when it rains. It’s scary! If that wasn’t enough, the hot water runs out after one shower & they provided 4 towels that had to be washed several times during our stay until I went & bought more. Make sure you bring extra blankets because the only ones provided is what is on the bed & it gets cold at night. I had to replace batteries in one of the tv remotes while I was there. There were only good reviews before I stayed so I just wanted to leave an honest review so that other people know. The hot tub alone would’ve been enough for me to choose another place. I wish I would’ve known.

Hideaway

Nice home but it feels sketchy driving up the road to get there. Take the 2nd access road it’s a bit easier.
Response from VrboOwner on 29 Jul, 2025
Hello Julie, thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the home itself, but we completely understand how the drive up the road could feel a bit unsettling. We appreciate your tip about taking the second access road—it’s helpful for future guests to know. Your comfort and safety are very important to us, and we’ll be sure to pass along your comments to our local team to see how we can improve the experience. Wishing you safe and smooth travels ahead

Quick weekend getaway

We had a quick weekend getaway at the cabin. Cabin was nice. I was surprised by the road to the cabin it was very steep and gravel but we'll maintained. The cabin was great my kids loved the air hockey and pool table. The view was amazing. Would stay here again.

Gorgeous mountain cabin

The cabin was very spacious and clean. I love how things were labeled in the kitchen cabinets and drawers, it made things very accessible. The bedrooms were spacious and had plenty of closet space. The basement gameroom will keep the kids occupied. I would definitely recommend Brother Bear Hollow and we would stay again.

The cabin was laid out nicely. The neighborhood was peaceful. The only complaints I have is the hot tub was unusable due to the lid being broken and too heavy to lift due to water logging, the cleanliness was great on the surface but each bed had food and bottles under them and the kitchen trashcan had molded cookies and old food in it along with molded coffee grounds in the coffee pot. The large trashcan outside was half full of loose garbage from previous renters which made me nervous that I would be accused of leaving loose trash in the can. Despite that, I thought the cabin was lovely and added to my vacation experience.

Short but sweet stay!

We had a long weekend planned with just a two nights stay at this property. Two nights was NOT long enough! We could’ve stayed a week! This is such a beautiful home in a peaceful location! Loved drinking our coffee on the back deck overlooking the trees and mountains! Our son enjoyed fishing in the nearby neighborhood pond and playing in the game room in the evening. The only thing that would have made this trip more perfect is if we could’ve stayed longer!

Peaceful hideaway

Greatly secluded home in a very remote of the grid location. I do not recommend driving in at night for the first time. You will get lost. The home itself, beautiful inside and out. Love the cabin feel and the fireplace. I will come back again. They do need to upgrade the WiFi and put televisions in the bedrooms. Basement had a foosball table and pool table but TV would not work correctly to watch it.

fun game basement

Fun game basement for all ages. Cabin is old but very clean. No dishwasher so bring paper plates or extra dish soap if staying more than two days. Hot tub not working first day. Vacasa quick to respond and working the next day. Beautiful mountain view. Very hard bunk beds to sleep on. The theramstats are Eco and very difficult to regulate. Never did figure them out. The management Vacasa was great. On the rental of cabin you pay a fee to them and VRBO.

We always rent a house for Memorial Day weekend and this house was extremely nice. They provided lots of options to cook with plus even had kids plates and bowls and silverware. Which is a huge plus for us as we have a child.
