Gatlinburg Bear Decides to Take Lid Off of Hot Tub at Family's Vacation Rental

It's been a long week: You're stressed, you're tired, you're running on empty. How does a nice soak in the hot tub sound to you? Sometimes, a bear just wants to indulge, too.

As Knoxville's WBIR-10 recently reported, one family vacationing in Gatlinburg recently saw a bear trying to make its way into their cabin's hot tub for some much needed R&R. "Tim Brumlow and his family looked outside last weekend and saw a bear pulling the lid off the hot tub," reports Lauren Hoar for WBIR-10. "He and his family took several videos as the bear roamed the porch, checked out the trash bin, and eventually started to drink from the hot tub." As experts would advise, the family remained indoors to stay safe while the bear was roaming the home's grounds. Watch the clip below.

Hey, even bears need to take a break sometime from the hustle and bustle of the daily grind and enjoy a quiet moment of contemplation.
