Clean room with a hot shower, cold air conditioning, and a soft bed. Staff was exceptionally friendly at both the front desk and the restaurant/bar. Room came with a free pancake breakfast at the restaurant. If you are someone who nitpicks small cosmetic flaws or prefers a modern Marriott aesthetic, this place may not be for you.

Room was clean, beds are okay. Staff is was great. We plan to stay again next year but will definitely ask for a first floor with my husband being disabled there is no elevator and the way to get up and down is not very easy. Other than that I highly recommend didn’t try the pool. But saw others using it so I’m assuming it was good to go.
Clean room with great staff. Sliding lock was broken but the dead bolt worked fine.

Wood work around the lavatory could have been a little cleaner. For the age of the facility it was good. The beds and bathroom were very clean. The location for Pigeon Forge was very convenient, very accessible.
It was a pleasant surprise what a great price gets you at Wild Bear Inn! The hotel has a retro feel but the room was clean and the staff was very friendly! It was a cozy spot and we loved the pool outside too. We were given free breakfast vouchers and it was a good breakfast! We even stopped back into their tavern for dinner on the second day of our stay- very good! We have decided that we’ll stay here again next time we visit the Pigeon Forge area! Highly recommend for a pleasant stay on a budget!
My wife and I stayed 8 nights here and I have no complaints. I really liked they are pet friendly and if you need anything like towels or bed sheets it was by text and they were left outside your room. We didn't spend alot of time there except to sleep with all the activities we had planned. On the 2nd floor there was a balcony area with comfortable chairs and a fireplace always lit. On the cooler nights we sat down there for a bit just enjoying time together with our 2 pups relaxing. I would stay here again for sure. 4 3/4 stars.
