Great Place for a Getaway!

We had a tremendous experience at this place. We saw bears daily in our driveway and on the mountain! The pool table and game room were wonderful for a party atmosphere, the upper deck offered a beautiful view of the Great Smokey Mountains, and the lower deck featured a jacuzzi that was perfect. The appliances were top notch, the beds comfortable, and the Black Bear decorating theme was spot on. We will stay there again!

There’s a reason this place gets almost 5 full stars. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would most definitely book this cabin again should we find ourselves back in Gatlinburg.

Spectacular views - very quiet!

Hard to visualize the setting of this property from photos - all the listing photos are very accurate of the home and amenities. The location - although some might think challenging to reach, renders the most incredible views. Perched high above the town of Gatlinburg - great vistas of the mountains and the lights of Gatlinburg below at night. Yet still very close to town and all the sights!

Great hosts and cabin!

We really enjoyed our stay and the property and amenities were just as described. Cabin owner was quick to respond any time we had a question. The drive up and down the mountain to reach the cabin was a little disconcerting at first, but we got used to it after a couple times driving it. Yhe neighborhood felt very safe. You can reach downtown Gatlinburg in only 10 minutes. Would definitely stay here again.

Perfect Family Retreat

The location was perfect. Peaceful and quiet, however, the road to get to the house was definitely a challenge (well worth it though). Our main entertainment was numerous bear sightings, which never grew old. The house was perfect for us and our 3 adult kids. Lots of wonderful family memories were made playing cards, watching movies, shooting pool, cooking and eating meals together. The Owner was always very responsive. I would stay here again.

Short Getaway

This home ranks as a top rental for us. Super nice owners, amazing views, well appointed. The hot tub had recently broken and was scheduled to be replaced the following week of our stay but the homeowner gave us a discount. There is great, flat parking, which is unusual for this area. We also saw some bears in the neighborhood. We had a great time!

Loved it!

Cozy and comfy with all the right spaces for our party. The main floor master suite worked great for my 84 year old mother, and the downstairs bedrooms and walk in shower worked well for the other two in our party. Decorated with cute bears throughout and lots of games for the family. The occasional bear sightings in the neighborhood were thrilling! And the owners have a FAC book for visitors that was very informative. Plus, they respond quickly to direct communications. We couldn’t have been happier with our stay!
