The house was gorgeous and had everything we needed. Communication was great and location was amazing. Home as clean and everything was very comfortable. We will def be back.
Everything about this place was fabulous!!! Lynn was wonderful and was always available to answer any questions and to make sure everything was going good. We will definetly be back.
We enjoyed our stay - the views from the decks were amazing, and we got to see bears (on our to-do list). Bedrooms were comfortable and well-appointed; overall, we'd recommend it to anyone wanting a unique experience of the Gatlinburg area.
Our Family of 5 spent the week here after Christmas for New Years. We have 3 boys and 2 of them are older teenagers and they loved that they both had their own rooms and bathrooms. We loved the fully stocked Kitchen so I was able to make most meals at the Cabin. We had an amazing view and even was able to see the ball drop in Gatlinburg Downtown from the comfort of our Balcony. My older boys enjoyed playing pool against each other. Even got the utilize the hot tub once or twice. If we make it back to Gatlinburg soon, well definitely be staying here. The location was also perfect for being able to do everything around town and in Pigeon Forge.
Amazing views! We loved the well supplied kitchen - the best equipped we have encountered in almost 15 years of staying in Black Bear Falls properties. We would have liked to have access to a couple of microwave safe plates as this made using leftovers challenging. We would definitely stay again.
Beautiful cabin in a great location. Cabin was clean and had everything we needed for our stay. Great views of the mountains, and saw some bears from a distance. Lynn was wonderful at checking on us after arriving to make sure if we needed anything.
Great location, minutes to downtown Gatlinburg and entrance to the Smokies! Amazing views! Even when it rained, you could still enjoy the deck, the back deck was fully covered. We enjoyed our stay.
The cabin was perfect for our family's three couples, having a master suite on all three levels. Great deck for viewing mountains and nature and also close to so many things to do in Gatlinburg and the surrounding area. Will consider staying here again!
The cabin was beautiful, with a nice view from the deck. The kitchen had everything you could want and our teenage kids loved having their own bedroom and bathroom. We enjoyed playing pool and shuffleboard on the bottom floor, and relaxing at the community pool. We hope to stay here again.
We had a great time at the cabin. It was very close to everything we wanted to do. We visited the Gatlinburg area, Pigeon Forge and the Park. The house was super clean, very accommodating and very easy. Beds were comfy too!

About the host
Hosted by Lynn Farr
My husband, Donald, and I are from Peachtree City, GA and have 2 kids and 3 grandchildren. High Mountain Lodge has been a labor of love for us. We have been in the vacation home rental business for over 20 years and have endeavored to make each of our properties 'Simply the Best'. We own an oceanfront vacation rental property and decided to try something completely different which led us to the mountains. Our reviews are full of the most wonderful comments from the families who have stayed with us. Let High Mountain Lodge be your next adventure in the Smokies!
Why they chose this property
After a two year search of the Gatlinburg area we kept coming back to Black Bear Falls, which is widely considered to be the premier log home community in Gatlinburg. Our search took us up many winding, sometimes scary roads and to some cabins that appeared to be barely hanging onto the side of a mountain. It was a great adventure! We wanted a beautiful cabin with breathtaking views, good roads (not too much adventure), nice club house with a heated pool, and all in a well maintained community. Black Bear Falls Log Home Community and the cabin we discovered there met and exceeded all of our expectations. High Mountain Lodge is convenient to all of the fun and excitement that Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge have to offer and yet lends itself to peace and quiet after a day of fun. We're close to the national park, hiking trails and many other outdoor activities.
What makes this property unique
If you love great views both day and night High Mountain Lodge is the cabin for you. The huge covered decks provide the perfect place to enjoy the spectacular views, read a good book, or spend quality time with friends and family. Just picture yourself soaking in the hot tub under the stars - ah romance! The 6 flat screen TVs, pool table, surround sound system, and Texas Shuffleboard will keep everyone entertained. If you're in the mood for a good mystery just pick one from the extensive mystery collection. If you don't have time to finish it just return it when you visit us next time. For those of you who love to cook, the gourmet kitchen, complete with stainless steel appliances and granite, awaits you. The cocktail patio is the perfect place to grill out and watch the sun set. On those chilly winter nights just snuggle up in front of the stacked stone gas fireplace, all the warmth without the mess of wood and soot.
