The property was amazing. The service was top notch too. We had to ask a couple questions and they responded immediately. We had a blast and made great core memories. We were there with our family ranging from mid 70s to 2 years old and it was perfect for everyone. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely fantastic property - highly, highly recommend! Cabin has a very thoughtful layout that was ideal for 4 couples and up to 4 kids. Saw at least one bear every day. Location was excellent - less than 10 minutes from both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. Up in the mountains just enough for spectacular views, but not so far that is was painstaking to get to and from. Property is very well maintained.

Home Away from Home Experience - A Perfect Getaway for Friends and Family

We had an incredible 3-day stay at Funky Bear Lodge and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. The lodge had the perfect balance of comfort, charm, and rustic beauty—ideal for reconnecting with both nature and each other.The space was spotless, cozy, and thoughtfully decorated with a fun, funky flair that gave it so much character. There was plenty of room for our group of friends and family to spread out and relax, yet it still felt warm and inviting. The kitchen was well-equipped, making it easy to prepare meals together, and the outdoor area was a highlight—perfect for morning coffee, evening chats around the fire pit, and stargazing.Every little detail, from the comfortable beds to the scenic views, was spot-on. The hosts were responsive, friendly, and made sure we had everything we needed for a stress-free stay.Funky Bear Lodge is now at the top of our list for future retreats. Highly recommended for anyone looking to enjoy great company in a unique and memorable setting!

A perfect mountain getaway

The Funky Bear Lodge is a beautiful home in a great, accessible location with stunning views and easy access to downtown. The check-in process was seamless, and Zack was incredibly helpful, providing us with great recommendations for our stay. Each bedroom was spacious and featured a fully equipped bathroom with plenty of towels. The kitchen was spotless and had everything we needed, and the furniture throughout the home was super comfortable. We especially loved the game room, relaxing in the hot tub, and the amazing movie theater—it really made our stay special.

Perfect for large family - checked all boxes!

The cabin did not disappoint! It was located in a central area that it took us no longer than 15 minutes to get to all the attractions in Gatlinburg, the Island of Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and yes even Publix!. The views of the city were breathtaking. The cabin itself was one of the cleanest VRBOs I have ever stayed in and the decor was so cute and cozy for the holidays I felt like I was at home. Communication with Zack was 5 star from the very beginning during the initial booking period when my family was picking dates and throughout our stay. I had reached out when we first got there to notify him that the microwave handle was broken (not a big deal on our end but just wanted to let him know that I found it like that when we arrived). I had no expectation of the microwave being fixed while we were there but to our surprise Zack reached out within a few hours and had his parents there to fix the handle. The theater room and game room got a lot of play with our family. Perfect spot for everyone to gather at the end of our days. My only wish is that we had a real fireplace to be able to roast s’mores, but the electric fireplace in the living room gave off enough heat to keep us warm and was a beautiful statement piece in the living room. Will definitely recommend to family and friends and would come back again!

Amazing home

Funky Bear Lodge was hands down the best VRBO house our family has stayed at. The king beds in each bedroom made all of the couples in our group comfortable and the room with the twin beds was great for the kids. The theme of the home is fun and all the artwork is awesome. We had a "pet" bear who visited around the same time each day and just casually wandered through the parking lot. We got lots of great pictures. The view is spectacular, there's tons of seating for everyone, we really appreciated how clean everything was, and the movie room was great! This home can't be beat.
