Living Room

Bearly Ober will impress you from the moment you enter. (Pro-tip: if you want to earn brownie points, carry your bride over the threshold, no matter how long you’ve been married! This is sure to kick your vacation off right).

Ample leather seating and a flat-screen are waiting for you, as well as access to the screened-in porch. Grab a snack and put your feet up in front of the stone fireplace—it’s time for #vacationlife.

Kitchen

The sleek kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to sustain your family while you spend long days seeing all of the sights. Granite counters and stainless steel appliances await your favorite recipes, and a pass-through window makes it easy to serve meals.

This kitchen is stocked for your convenience, from utensils to plates, to cookware. You won’t have to worry about a thing!

Dining Room

Pull up a seat at the farm-style wooden table that seats up to six. This area is perfect for family game night—for Scrabble, Uno, and Go-fish. Spend hours playing Monopoly until someone eventually takes one for the team and gives up so you can do something else.

The dining room is within arm’s reach of the kitchen for your convenience.

Bedrooms

Two well-appointed bedrooms are upstairs for you to choose from.

The master suite features a comfortable King bed with a private en-suite bath, and the second has two full beds with a nearby full bath for additional privacy. No matter which you choose, you will have plenty of space to spread out in, and windows to gaze out of. Sweet dreams!

Hiking and bear siting

Great spot to get away from the craziness of town but close enough to easily access Gatlinburg and hiking, perfectly clean and greatly decorated. We took a wrong turn up near our chalet one morning and ended up crossing paths with a good sized bear.

A Beary Great Time!

Our stay at Beary Ober was great! The unit was exceptionally clean and well stocked. This is an older unit however, it is very spacious and parts of it have been nicely redone. We saw a couple of large bears passing through the parking lot when we arrived which made our day. The pool area was fantastic and close. Property management responded promptly to all of my questions however phone reception was in and out. We would definitely recommend and would love to stay here again.

Bearly Ober

Well needed vacation in a nice quiet relaxing condo. We stayed 2 weeks and in the middle of our stay we drove to Nashville and stayed there for 3 days and came back to our condo easy drive not even 4hrs from Gatlinburg. We did see 2 🐻 bears not far from the condo which last year i stayed here 1 week in July a saw one on the back wall of the condo. Its also a 15/20 minute drive to downtown Gatlinburg and also Pigeon Forge so it makes it great location.

Nice property, uncomfortable beds

We initially had a hard time finding our site because no one mentioned that the back entire to the complex (where our site was located) was off a side street. Once we got in, the condo was nice. The kitchen was well stocked, but kind of small, especially if multiple people were cooking. The bathrooms were also pretty small, with the toilet in the master bathroom nearly touching the tub. Our biggest complaints were that the beds were not very comfortable. They seemed more on par with something from a Motel 6. Overall, this condo served its purpose, but we won't be staying here again if we come back to the area.

Perfect mountain living!

We were so happy with our stay at Bearly Ober. It was the perfect size for our family of four, and felt so cozy. It was clean, and spacious, and nicely stocked even for our week-long stay. It was a quick drive down to the nearby small markets and even a quick drive directly into downtown Gatlinburg. The beds were comfy, in fact all the furniture was. It was truly the perfect little retreat for us; incredibly homey and warm. We are thinking of coming next year and want to stay here again. The only things I’d mention were that it would be super useful to be more detailed in the rental notes about how to get there. I’d looked up reviews prior and saw someone say, you have to go down a side road and around the back to get to your rental - and thank goodness I saw that because it could’ve been confusing! Also, a guide to the TV might be good - it never quite worked right for us, seemed to not want to load or something - but we didn’t use it too much anyway, so it wasn’t a huge deal. These are not criticisms at all, just notes! We were absolutely thrilled with this rental and truly hope to stay here again in future!

Beware ***

I am not one to normally complain much. As we have stayed many different places that have been well equipped with better things for your stay especially for a week. The things provided are like hotel accommodations. We rent places like this for convenience of being like a home away from home. These are the things that are a bit aggravating to us. * the salt shaker has rust on top and in it. *the coffee maker was dirty. *The kitchen is not well equipped with things to cook with or are from 80s. And gross. *A mixer would be great. & mixing bowls. *Air fryer would be great. *Small set of pots and pans that are not peeling and gross. (Unhealthy) Toaster doesn't work right. *Dawn dish soap. * A wet jet mop to clean up a spill. And appropriate cleaning supplies. * downstairs toilet runs have to adjust it to make it stop. *Master bathroom outlet doesn't work. The barn door in master bathroom on the left side is broke doesn't close. * the carpet has gross stains all over it upstairs and downstairs. * the storm door coming in is broke. * I have never rented a place that has a camera at the door. Colonial Properties responce. We offer starter boxes that have travel sized items to get you through the first night. However, we do not offer any extra as that is up to the guest.

We enjoyed our stay in Gatlinburg. The condo’s pictures are a good representation of the property. However, I feel like it could have been cleaner. That could be due to the cleaning company/people that are being used. It needs to have some standards like salt, pepper and coffee filters. There were only wash clothes and regular bath towels. It would be nice to have hand towels for the bathrooms. There should be clearer instructions when you checkout regarding where to our dirty towels or dishes.
