We saw bears!

Bearadise as advertised! We saw two black bears! Close to the hubbub of Gatlinburg, but far enough up the mountain to get away from it all, too! Literally right next to the entrance to the National Park, so each morning went into Smokey Mountain National Park for morning hikes. Loved our stay!

Great mountain cabin

We had a great stay at a beautiful cabin. Property was very clean and comfortable. Was lucky enough to see a few bears. Wish there would have been chalk for the pool table. The washing machine unfortunately did not work but that problem was addressed the same day we called about it. Would definitely stay at this cabin again

Quiet & Clean in the Mountains - Loved It!

The quiet seclusion and the cleanliness of the property were exceptional with a game room to add to it for the kids. It's up in the mountains right next to the Smoky Mountain boundary with beautiful morning sunrises! We were able to get to Gatlinburg easily, but also enjoyed being away from the crowded streets. It's definitely on a hilltop, but when we saw a full size bus go up the road we knew we could too. There were TVs in every area of the house for the downtime needed after long hikes. We enjoyed the hot tub and outdoor grill too. We would definitely stay here again!

Wonderful cabin feel

This was a nice place to stay for 2 nights. If you like to hike, there is a path nearby that goes right into the Smoky Mountains. Ober Gatlinburg is also a close drive, and that was an awesome way to take the gondola down into Gatlinburg and avoid traffic. The house is small, but very quaint. As other reviewers said, the driveway is VERY steep and tricky to pull in/out of, but that is the nature of all the roads up this high in the mountains. The view is not a wide open one, but you still have beautiful glimpses of the mountains.

Cozy

Overall, this was a cozy cabin. However, the drive to get to it was very steep and winding and we did not feel safe driving it at night. The water pressure in the showers was not good. Pool cues were broken and the foosball table had a ping pong ball in it which made it unusable. The hot tub would also be so much better on the second deck! This one has potential and overall, we had a fine stay, but probably would choose somewhere else next time.

Zero Mountain Views

My family and I enjoyed our stay at this property. However, we were disappointed as we booked this property because of the beautiful Mountain Views from the top floor balcony that are shown in one of the pictures as well as documented in the description of the property. The property is surrounded by trees and has zero Mountain Views. The trees have clearly grown in since the initial pictures were taken. It would be nice if the description and pictures were updated so you knew what you were paying money for.

We got to our cabin on a Friday. It started storming shortly after arrival which was fine until we had power issues. We called the maintenance number and they had my husband go flip a breaker (almost getting struck by lightning while doing so) which did not help. We were informed that someone would be there in about a hour. This was roughly 9pm. 12:30 someone is beating on a door that has a couch blocking it waking up and scaring to death a 9 year old he couldn't work on the power as we were all asleep since we had driven all day. The next morning I called and spoke with a manager explaining to her what had happened and she was extremely rude and hung up on me. My husband went out and messed with the power some more since it was no longer storming and was able to get it back on. When I called back to let the office know once again very rude and never told the worker who was coming to fix it. We were on vacation and did not have plans on working on electricity or just sitting around waiting for someone to show up hours later to work on it. The cabin could have been a lot cleaner. The cabin was very cluttered in the main living areas. The bath tub drains could not be plugged to give children a bath and the hot tub water was dirty and smelled of alcohol. We were very disappointed with how we were treated by staff and the presentation of the cabin.

This was a beautiful area to stay in with a pretty good view. Not as great as some of the others around the same area and if it were summer there wouldnt be as good of a view. The drive up the driveway is very steep and we had to rent a vehicle capable which was an suv for the stay in order to get up and down the driveway. The car wouldnt make it up at all the. I wish i had known that steep in some of the comments included cars probably wont be appropriate. The stairs are wood and slick, 2 different people in our family fell from more than halfway down the bottom steps both at different times. There are definitely bears in the area and one had gotten in our truck the first night we were there unloading it and had to have the police come up and scare it off with fireworks because it wouldnt leave for us to finish getting our things out. You really can't leave anything open like doors of anykind open or unlocked because it can happen so quickly lol..so this was definitely an experience to remember. We will have to look for something more easily accessible the next time but everyone i spoke with were very nice. Good luck!

Loved the quiet. Clean and ready, staff helped with late check in. Cabin is great except, to crowded within the living spaces. the hot tub was not on second floor balcony as shown but first at parking level and the top is in dire need to be replaced, as well as fix lights. inside lights and fan on cat walk need fixed not working, disappointed in no view trees are blocking everything.

Birthday wish come true!

Hilltop had everything needed to host my family’s Smokey Mountain getaway, including a detailed Guestbook with nearby attractions and plenty of bears to see. Instructions for switches, wifi, cable and hot tub are clearly labeled, with Timber Tops just a call away if any questions. The cabin’s 3 stories and 3rd floor bridge to the top balcony is a delight to see and explore. During our stay my daughter wanted to ice skate for her BDay and we were worried too far away, but behold Ober Mountain Ski Resort is only 2 miles away and even has a Wildlife Preserve to see more bears. Out of her 11 birthdays she declares her Hilltop Bearadise BDay the best! We arrived from Texas with little planned but no worries, thanks to Hilltop and Timber Tops the kids stayed busy and we are planning a return.

Wonderful cabin!

Loved the cabin!! Loft with walk out was great. Kitchen and living area perfect. We loved sitting out on the porch with coffee in the mornings. The game room was nice, but we were out exploring and missed using it. Kitchen was well stocked with all that was needed. Loved our stay!!

Happy with our visit

The apartment was clean upon arrival and the rooms are accurately represented by the pictures online. The drive through the mountains and up the driveway was stressful, but we weren't the only cabin with such issues. Unfortunately, the foosball table only had ping pong balls for us to play with, which was disappointing because of how excited we were to play foosball. Only one TV had a signal, and we only saw one bear playing with the neighbor's trash. Other than we enjoyed the cabin very much and would come back again.

Disappointing

Overpriced for what we got. Not enough room in living room. Very dirty windows. NOT an amazing view.! Steep and awkward driveway entrance. My expectations were high for paying that much money. I don’t usually spend that much money but it was supposed to be a special treat for my family. Sorry I will not stay there again.

Poor cabin for the money

Total price of the cabin was just over $400 per day so you would expect to have a VERY nice place to stay- but that was not the case. The location was great but that was the only positive thing. We have several complaints about this cabin. -It was dirty. There was dust and dirt everywhere, dead bugs everywhere, the upstairs windows were so dirty they were hard to see out of. The shower curtain in the loft bathroom had mold on it. -The blinds were almost all broken (actually broken off pieces or just didn’t work) or missing. -The closet door in the main floor was broken so we couldn’t use the closet. -The fooseball table had no ball, so our kids couldn’t even use it and the pool table didn’t have any chalk and on 1 of the pool sticks was not broken.

Beary Cute!

PROS: The house was so clean - probably one of the cleanest rentals I've ever stayed in. It was well furnished, and decorated very nicely. Each bedroom had a connecting bathroom. The kitchen was well equipped. We saw so many bears! We didn't use the hot tub, so can't comment on that. CONS: it is STEEP! Both of our vehicles bottomed out exiting the driveway. We had an after-hours maintenance issue that could have been handled better. Overall: Our family had a great time and we would stay again. A great value!

Very disappointed!

I never write reviews, but felt compelled to this time because of our experience... The pictures are VERY deceiving. There is NO VIEW of the mountains, as shown in the pictures - the trees completely block the view. This was the reason we booked this place, for the private balcony with a view. Secondly, the living room/kitchen areas are way too small, good luck getting 2 people in the kitchen. There were no fitted sheets on the loft bed, we had a regular sheet only. The mattress cover says DO NOT REMOVE, no telling what's underneath - absolutely disgusting. There were no blinds or shades for the loft & it faces East. No matter what time we went to bed, we were woken up by the sun before 6am. Also, the temperature between the bottom floor & top floor is drastically different (freezing in the bottom, still hot upstairs). At least they provided fans & a heater. We didnt have chalk for the pool table, which should DEFINITELY be provided if the homeowner doesn't want the table destroyed. Lastly, I believe we overpaid by mile, compared to other places available for rent. The only positive is that you WILL see bears on the property, which was awesome! We saw three & know others were around since they clawed the hot tub & knocked over the garbage can (on separate occasions).

Great place to stay. I would recommend to others to remove food and lock car doors to discourage bears from poking around vehicles.

Hilltop Beardise

We had an amazing stay! The cabin was very well kept and the place was amazing and 8 people for comfortable! The place is literally what the name of the cabin is on the top of the hill with lots of bears! We saw bears everyday at the cabin. The only bad thing is the steep driveway but that’s because we are not used to that but once we did it once it was super easy!
