About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire condo to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Everyone Welcome! Private WiFi, Heated Pool, Gas Grills, Catch the View!

Mountain Dewey's borders the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and is close to the arts & crafts community, theme parks, aquarium & museums, shopping, water sports, nature trails, hiking, dinner shows, and more.

Begin your mornings with a cup of hot coffee on our second-floor balcony with a breathtaking vista that overlooks the town of Pigeon Forge, about 6 miles down the mountain. The same view sparkles after dark with the lights from hundreds of shops, restaurants, and fun places to play. My pictures from our balcony are all taken roughly from the same angle at different times of day, and all seasons of the year.

Our quiet and peaceful condo is on a mountaintop, which is not in town, but near town. Cozy and comfortable, we welcome visitors from all walks of life and backgrounds. Minutes from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and the wilderness, there are no limits of places to go and things to see.

Many of our guests comment on how nice it is to have a quiet place to relax after the bustling activities in Gatlinburg & Pigeon Forge, or a beautiful hike on one of the myriad trails in the Smokies. Theme parks, horseback riding, swimming, biking, water sports, shopping, skiing, and zip-lining are great fun, all of which let you appreciate a good night's sleep! We offer three beds - one queen and two twin/singles. A fifth person could sleep on the sofa if they're not a giant, and there’s also a twin-size inflatable air mattress with an electric pump. Plenty of extra quilts, blankets, and throws are provided. I personally like to wrap up in a quilt when sitting on the balcony.

While the kitchen is compact, it is efficient and equipped well enough for the finest cook to serve a gourmet meal. In addition to the ordinary necessities, we have two coffee makers - a full-sized pot and a single-serve Keurig, an electric hand-mixer, a slow-cooker, blender, toaster, & microwave, and plenty of dishes, glasses, & silverware. There are wire whisks, corkscrews, can openers, measuring utensils, muffin pans, mixing bowls, cutting boards, and sharp knives. The refrigerator has an icemaker. The stove and dishwasher are apartment-sized due to limited space. We also have a set of child-size dishes and silverware for smaller hands. They are dishwasher and microwave safe, so use them with abandon.

A 50" Smart TV with cable is in the living room, and each bedroom has a 40" Smart TV. All three televisions have Blue-ray DVD players, Netflix, and Prime Video. If nothing playing on TV suits you, there's a collection of over 300 DVDs plus about 100 books. We have our own private WiFi server, which is far superior to most other units.

There are 2 hot tubs and a year-round indoor pool as well as a seasonal outdoor pool. We have several pool noodles in the condo, but please bring your own beach towels. Coin-operated laundry facilities are on-site, and firewood is provided for a small fee during the cooler months. The huge free parking lot surrounds the main office building, which includes the indoor pools and laundry facilities.

Although our second-floor balcony is small, we've added a bar-height bistro set with cushioned swivel chairs. This added height above the treetops gives an unobstructed view of the mountains and valley below. You can see all the way to Pigeon Forge and beyond. Each season offers a different view, one more breathtaking than the next. There are mountains as far as the eye can see.

The entire condominium is open for your pleasure. I hope you'll enjoy taking advantage of our games, books, and DVDs in your downtime. We furnish all bed linens and towels, as well as paper goods, toothpaste, shampoo, and soap. There's also dishwashing liquid and dishwasher pods in the kitchen. Additionally, you will find an iron and ironing board, 2 hairdryers, and two hand mirrors.

Our unit is on the second floor, and accessible by stairs only.

Due to the impact of the buildings settling over the years, the sliding door and adjacent window are askew. The window is so far off square that it won't open, so please don't attempt it. Although the sliding door closes all the way, it’s sometimes difficult to lock, so we have provided a wooden wedge to prevent outside entry. Our balcony is fairly high up, therefore it's highly doubtful that it could be accessed anyway, but the wedge gives a better sense of security. It's also possible that the lock may be fixed by the time you read this.

In addition to signing our guestbook, we would appreciate you leaving a review on this site, especially with suggestions as to improvements needed or other ways in which we can make your visit more pleasurable.

We've seen black bears on the premises more than once, which is always a thrill, but it is expressly forbidden to feed them...so no throwing food off the balcony!

Thank you for considering Mountain Dewey's for your stay in the Great Smoky Mountains. We look forward to being your host!

It was an ok place to stay, older place. Master bathroom shower curtain hangs in tub by 4", makes it dangerous and can't be great to keep it clean. Cable kept going off and on. Instructions for the cable or dish would be great addition (Spectrum remote didn't seem to do anything) Could not get WIFI to work, no network or password on modem. A lot of stuff in the place which made it seem to cluttered.

Stayed sun 9/15- sun 9/22 make that they know your arrival date. We got there the place was not cleaned up, because they thought we were coming on the next day. They made things right.

Love this location. Seen bears every day of our stay down below the balcony. Even had a bobcat stroll across one evening. Not a brand new property, but still very good. Can't wait to come back.

Wonderful Family Reunion Stay
Location, space, and activities were the theme of this VRBO. We had family from three states meet at the 'Unaware Bear' property. We were close to Dollywood, Splash, and the Old Mill. Each family had their own space and we also had plenty of room to get together as a group. Pigeon Forge offered many activities as did the 'Unaware Bear' with games, arcades, a hot tub, and swimming pool access. We enjoyed our visit!

The listing is accurate, it is located on the top of mountain you drive up at 20 miles an hour. The feeling of peace and beauty of the mountains surround you. We saw black bear on three separate occasions around the property. Wishing we could stay longer to enjoy hikes.

This was a cozy little condo that had plenty of space for my family. They had provided everything that we may need. I couldn’t get enough of the view. Actually got to see a black bear everyday we were there, which was amazing.

Nice place
The property was nice. Slight musty smell and the handle and lock on the sliding door to the balcony was broken, practically coming off. We didn’t call the handyman due to this issue having been written in other reviews numerous time, figured our call wouldn’t make a difference. Loved that there were crayons, toys, books, etc provided. I’m these were nice surprises. The kitchen was well stocked with gadgets, and the bathrooms had extra stuff in case toothbrushes were forgotten. The property manager was great about communicating. Very thorough details. We saw bears in the parking lots twice and were told that a car had been broken into by one the night before we arrived. It was nice to see them from the condo though. An indoor swimming pool was mentioned in the description but wasn’t open due to needing to pass an inspection. That was very disappointing as we had already changed into swim suits.

Steep and windy to get to.
Stayed here for a soccer tournament. It was a half hour drive. We prepared and ate breakfast here. The condo was clean and cozy. Thanks for sharing your space. Wanted to wash dirty soccer clothes but did not have information on the laundry room. Upon arrival, we spent 30 minutes to find wifi password and link because accesing my cellphone was not easy to do. Also the sliding door is a safety issue. Door would not shut or lock and there was a cold draft inside from this. We left early both mornings and did not return on Sunday after we started the dishwasher. We could not wait for the dishwasher to complete the cycle and put clean dishes up as requested. Other issues... I had to go to my email to find instructions on checkout duties. Did not get a return call on laundry. I highly suggest to have a printed instruction with relevant information to the rental. This could have made our stay more enjoyable. No I would not recommend this place to a friend.

My family and I stayed here for Christmas as our first time in Tennessee. It was a cute little condo at the top of the mountain. I do wish the condo was decorated for Christmas decor like I thought it was going to be. But overall, it was a very quaint place for my family of 5 and we enjoyed the fireplace and the views!

We had a second level room. It would be nice for us older folks to have an elevator to get our luggage up to our room. Living area is small. Beds are wore out and soft. Not good. Furniture as for chairs are out dated and small and uncomfortable. We had a recliner in the living room that was small and broken. The place was way over decorated. On a scale of 1-10 I would rate the place a 5. The stairs are a heartache waiting to happen.

The condo was very nice. The view was beautiful. But I have to say I was not happy with the road to the condo. If I’d of had any idea it was like that we would not have rented it. Actually left a day early I wouldn’t have to drive it again. I’m afraid of heights and have panic attacks. Not a good combination. No cell service, and the door didn’t lock.
