One of our recent guests said: “We did not want to leave! Had an amazing time, this cabin has every creature comfort and something fun for everyone!! The kids were in heaven and swimming for hours every day!
Fireflies gave the evenings even more magic!
There was space for everyone if needed and plenty of bathrooms. We could have stayed at the house the whole time without exploring the area and had a great trip! (Although pigeon forge was super fun too) Thank you for an awesome trip, we want to go back for sure!!”

Great Stay for 2 families

We had 4 adults and 4 young kids 6 and under. It was the perfect cabin to accommodate everyone. The kids had a blast on the pirate ship when it was warmish. We were forecasted to get snow and we did but only an inch at the cabin so we went up the mountain and there was 4 inches, the kids loved it. We really enjoyed the hot tub and pool as well as the outdoor fireplace while the kids were in the hot tub. The kitchen was very well stocked, heck the knife set I want for my house. It would be nice to have a few actual glasses that aren’t plastic. We also found really soft blankets that we also wanted but found out they were discontinued. Overall very happy with the cabin and the property manager was accommodating to our requests. We would recommend this place.

Luxury, Spacious, Convenient

This cabin was everything it was marketed to be in the overview and description. Absolutely gorgeous, more than spacious for our group of 9, all the things you need to cook meals and enjoy the kitchen for meals together. Pool room was a hit for the kids, hottub was great for adults. Totally convenient location to everything we wanted to enjoy, national park hiking, Dollywood, Gatlinburg, really perfect.

Week long getaway

Water Bear is a great location if you are wanting to stay in the Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg area. It is just far enough outside of Pigeon Forge to feel like you are secluded, but close enough to quickly get to Pigeon Forge. My wife and I stayed with our 2 year old, who greatly enjoyed the pirate ship and private swimming pool. This is one of the cleanest and well maintained VRBO's that we stayed in. Erik was very responsive and ensured our stay met our expectations. The rooms are very spacious and accommodating. The kitchen was well stocked and had pretty much any cookware/utensils you would need while on vacation. Would highly recommend this rental for anyone visiting the area.
