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!

We had a lovely stay here at Mountain Dewey’s. The condo has a stocked small functional kitchen. Although, if you want to grill, I would bring charcoal (we did) and utensils as we couldn’t find any anywhere in the kitchen. The master room, bed and bathroom were perfect for us. We have 2 kiddos so the 2nd bedroom was perfect as it has 2 twin beds. The balcony out back is small but it worked for a family of 4, when the bear came up out of the woods every night and we were all out there to watch them. The bear also walk around the complex so be mindful. Don’t feed them, stay back and watch from a distance. We would absolutely stay here again. Thank you for sharing your place with us.

Cozy

Great place to stay! Beds are out of this world comfy and the set up of the condo is perfect for families. Host was easy to get ahold of and so incredibly kind and efficient with needs. The road up to the condo is intense, so be ready! The directions provided for the drive are spot on. We did see bears on the road but none at the property (although we did get to see a coyote from the back deck), and had a silly bluebird like to watch us form the back deck.

Owls and bears!

Lots of owls and bears decorate the condo. We saw in the guest book that someone had done a scavenger hunt. All of us spent some time trying to count the owls and bears in the condo. It occupied us for a good 30-45 minutes. We didn't see any real bears on this trip, but we have stayed in the complex before and did see them then. Only issue we had was that it took forever to boil water on the apartment-sized stove. But the condo had everything we needed for our 2 night stay.

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.

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.
