Beautiful home and great location. All the amenities were amazing, and the host was very attentive. Thanks for a great stay. We highly recommend, and would definitely stay again!
Went here for ponies in the smokies. What an amazing cabin. Great location as well as amazing views. The cabin was very clean and nice on the inside. The hot tub topped it all off! Recommend staying here !
We loved our stay at the Black Bear Lodge. The accomodations were wonderful, clean , and bonus of great views. The location was amazing; quiet mountaintop but close to the national park entrance and perfectly situated between Gatlinburg and Pigeon forge downtown areas. Lots of great memories were made and the kids were asking to return again in the future before we even left.
House is wonderful. Everything is exactly as described and the views are amazing. We saw six bears in the neighborhood during our stay so be alert. Really cool though to see them in person. Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and GSMNP are all very close to this property. The host was quick to respond and communicated effectively. Would highly recommend this property.
The home was even better in person. The view is spectacular! We had an unexpected snow storm and the owner was very thoughtful and accomodating with me and my family. This home had everything we needed to be comfortable and feel at home. I would definitely come back again with my family.
First thing that made me smile was the view! Breathtaking colors. Was fortunate enough to see a mother bear and two cubs! Minutes from downtown yet very peaceful and private cabin. Love it!
Our Black Bear Lodge is a fantastic cabin. Super clean and has all the ammenities! We saw several bears in our travels and you can see the fireworks at Dollywood from the deck. This neighborhood is still being rebuilt from the big fire but the construction crews were very courteous and evenings were peacefully quiet.
I cannot begin to say how beautiful this property was how amazing the hosts were I was all struck by the beauty every single thing and it was perfection the most amazing experience and I think them so much for letting us stay in this beautiful home

Thank you so much Sandi for a great review! You were a joy to have as guests.
The cabin was an amazing place to stay. There are so many things to do in Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge and there were days that we were sad to leave the cabin because it was just so enjoyable. I really wish we had more days out there just so we could enjoy the cabin more. The place was very clean and pretty much had everything we needed. We had some great meals that we made there. We like to travel to different places each year but this place makes us just want to back here each year. We are so happy that we had the opportunity to stay here. Also, the host was very responsive. I would get a response immediately when I would ask a question.
The property was absolutely everything we could have asked for! The views are incredible. It's location on a dead-end street with very little traffic made for a wonderfully relaxing experience. The cabin itself is comfortable, well stocked, and spacious.
There is construction next door, but there wasn't anyone working while we were there. There is still quite a bit of construction going on in the area as a result of the fires in 2018, so we weren't surprised.
Our hosts were accommodating and very responsive. Our departure was delayed on leaving day due to 2 bears snoozing under the front door porch and they completely understood 😀
I highly recommend this property and would most definitely stay there again!
This house was perfect for our stay. The roads are a bit windy to get to the house, but the views are totally worth it. We saw bears nearly every morning right out our front door. Even a mama and 3 cubs climbing a tree. Catching the sunrise off the deck every morning was my favorite. The peacefulness before everyone awakes was a perfect way to start my day. The house was perfect for our family of 5. Each boy had their own room, and with the table on the deck and in the kitchen, we were able to have our cousins over for dinner one night without it feeling too crowded. We enjoyed the game room downstairs each night. We took advantage of the pool one night, which was decent size and had a slide that my son enjoyed. The kitchen was fully stocked, and we had no issues that required us to contact Carlos during our stay. Highly recommend! If we find ourselves back in the Smokys, we will definitely be staying here! Thanks for the wonderful memories!

Hi Molly! Thank you for this touching review. Reviews like this one are exactly why we decided to build Our Black Bear Lodge. Our family would gather at cabins like ours over the years and create memories we would cherish forever. We look forward to having you and your family stay again, so please do! Thank you for choosing Our Black Bear Lodge and welcome to the family.
We rented this amazing cabin for my kids, their spouses and my grandkids to attend my son’s wedding in Gatlinburg. As we opened the door and walked in, all we could say was WOW!! Extremely clean, beautifully decorated and breathtaking views. Loved sitting on the decks watching the sunrise, playing bags, and just relaxing. The hosts were exceptional communicators and make sure the cabin is equipped with everything needed for a great experience. We were even able to observe a bear with their cubs and even papa bear stand up and scratch his back against the electrical post! We highly recommend this cabin and these hosts, and would love to visit again!! 🐻❤️
Upon arrival, overall the place was beautiful. However, construction is a displeasure as they start rather early with the surrounding homes. This cabin is not meant for a family as they include each child as a "guest" reaching their max at 8 guests total with no accommodations. The owners will find any excuse to request more money from you.

Hi Michael!
We do tell guests there is construction going on and you didn't seem to care considering the low price at which you managed to book our cabin.
Our cabin is absolutely a family cabin! It is just not meant for two families resulting in a total of 13 guests. Unfortunately, in 2021, I would think most parents consider children to be a guest. They are most certainly not pets that's for sure!
I am also sorry you were unable to read our guest manual despite it being emailed to you ahead of time where it clearly states $165 per unannounced overnight guest.
If a guest wishes to have a few more family members packed in, they could ask and simply be charged $25 per additional person per night.
We are sorry you and your family failed to read through the manual, failed to follow instructions and failed to respect our rules.
We hope you find a future stay that is more aligned with your viewpoint that children aren't guests.
Best of luck!
About the host
Hosted by Carlos & Marisela
We have spent many summers and winters vacationing in the valleys that hold Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, and Sevierville. Finally, it is with deep pride and great pleasure that we have purchased our first property in the area, and we'd like to share the experience with you.
We hope you and your crew have a wonderful time in the cabin. Summers and winters in Tennessee have always been among the best vacations we've ever had. We hope your vacation at Our Black Bear Lodge is the same.
We have put a lot of love and labor into building and designing this cabin. This is truly our home away from home, and we hope it becomes yours, too.
