A family of bears decided to join a group of friends who were vacationing and sharing a cabin near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, one morning.
Levi Kim told The Dodo, “My friend was out enjoying the early morning misty scenery when he heard rustling and spotted a black bear cub approaching the deck.” He quickly went inside and alerted a few of us. The second bear cub and the mother bear cub then appeared on the back deck. With the hot tub cover, they began to play.
The momma bear noticed the friend group watching her family but didn’t seem to mind, and the bear cubs were too busy exploring and playing to notice anything else. They were having a blast and decided to climb on top of a parked car — and that’s when both the cubs and the friend group realized the car window was open.
“We were astonished and very amused to see the cubs climbing through the window,” Kim said. “We were so surprised to see how curious they were about Mark’s van! We were also not at all surprised that Mark left his windows down in bear country — typical Mark Ryan. He is the goofball of the friend group.”

Poor Ryan watched helplessly as the bear cubs had a blast inside his car while everyone just laughed. Luckily, though, there wasn’t any damage done to the car, and everyone was honestly kind of glad it happened. It definitely made the vacation a lot more memorable!
We don’t typically have black bear experiences like this because we are from Ohio, Kim said. “I believe we were all amazed and enjoying the occasion. Although we might have easily scared them away right away, we decided to savor this unique opportunity while we were on vacation. Sincerely, that was the high point of our trip!
