We were in Gatlinburg last June in a cabin on Ski Mtn Road. Saw lots of bear and people were feeding them. We forgot to lock our car door one night and a bear got in the next morning. We didn't see it but a neighbor did. It was a rental and fortunately it was empty (we had not eaten in it either). We did see dusty prints, some slobber and they did open the center counsel and pulled out a Kleenex box and ripped it up. No damage. They were walking the sidewalk as we were packing up. Little too close for comfort for me, but still very cool and we got some good pictures from the safety of the elevated back balcony.
