Great place close to town
We enjoyed our stay! Plenty of room for the 4 of us. Also, very close to town. Might be able to walk but we didn’t try. The Walgreens in town is large and we were able to stock up on a few essentials for meals. Kitchen is small but perfect for a few meals at home. Love the king size bed in the master! On site laundry was inexpensive but there's no change machine so bring quarters. We saw a bear come around the property a few times so be aware when outside!

Clean and efficient experience in The Bear Condo
It begins with communication and communication from the owner was perfect. We felt very prepared to enter the unit and found it as we expected. The balcony was a nice place and was very comfortable and peaceful. We felt like we had a great location as we were not on the strip, but we were not far away either. The Keurig that was there was a great addition and enjoyed by all of us. The kitchenette was simple, but efficient. The Condo was very clean and We would definitely stay there again.

Comfortable and quiet!
This condo is nicely located to the main tourist strip of Gatlinburg. There are many stairs, which my family enjoyed walking after eating downtown. Beds are comfortable, there is a fully stocked coffee station and a large balcony to enjoy your morning coffee. The host was kind enough to reach out via text and email with helpful details. We even saw three baby black bears as we were packing up the car to travel home!

Perfect!
The condo was spotlessly clean, beautifully decorated, and cozy as can be. The unit’s location right next to the elevator is very convenient. The beds were super comfortable as was the recliner in the living room. Perfect places to rest after lots of walking! We had everything we needed and would be more than happy to stay again in the future!

My family and I were able to stay here a couple of nights during spring break. Perfect of our little ones and close to downtown. The trolly stop nearby made this experience even better. We were able to jump on and not fight the traffic/parking.

The distance to downtown Gatlinburg or the trolley were amazingly close. Also, you are right beside the Smokies. However, the views are not great from this particular unit, but we were hardly in the room but the beds were super comfy and the property is cozy and quiet.

Super Stay
This is my second time staying at Laurel Inn and my first at this 2 bedroom condo. It was perfect for me and 3 teenagers for a youth retreat in Gatlinburg. The condo has everything we needed. Vey cozy. It is right next to the elevators and quick to get to and from the parking lot. The communication was great.
