Black Bear Loft a Retreat for Adventure Seekers Unplugged

We enjoyed our stay at Black bear. The cabin was clean and smelled good..not musty.. air was good, water hot and good pressure, nicely decorated. Fire pit was nice along with the washer and dryer. Kitchen was well equipped along with paper products and towels.

2nd bedroom had 2 double beds and it’s own bathroom

45 minutes drive to Gatlinburg and about 30 minutes drive to a lot of good Smokey mountains hikes.

The only drawback was the steep, rutty, gravel drive. Most awd/fed vehicles can get up it fine, but it is quite a bumpy ride.

Very nice, clean cabin. Beautiful scenery, nice and quiet. Road a little rough. Very steep incline and too many ruts in the gravel road.

Cabin is located away from everything, way back in woods. Once you leave the paved road and access the gravel road the fun begins. As long as you drive slow and take your time you will be ok, the road leading to cabin is a little steep and bumpy, but there is no deep ruts and there is no huge pot holes, just a few bumps here and there. I drove my 2018 Chevy Cruze and it handled the road very well. Just remember slow and easy. Once we made it to the cabin, the views from the 2nd and third floor are breathtaking. We was greeted by a few spotted lizards and a few butterflies on the huge wrap around porch before entering the cabin. The lizards and butterflies were very friendly. This cabin has plenty of room, you will get about 7 or so channels on the TV. Really good reception. Our phones worked great ( ATT, Straight talk) we was really surprised how nice this cabin was.

Everything was perfect. There is a Wal-Mart and a cracker barrel only 5 miles away. Do not stop at the hillbilly truck stop right before you get on interstate.

These hillbillies are crazy, and I'm a hillbilly!!!!! The only suggestion I would like to add is just go to Walmart and spend $150-$200 and get a 32 " inch or so tv and install in upstairs bedroom.

We drove to Gatlinburg for the day there was many attractions and places to eat. We hiked to Rainbow Falls in the Smoky Mountain National Forest and found a nice little Mexican restaurant where we had dinner on the balcony and there was live entertainment. We look forward to coming back in the future and we had a wonderful time celebrating our 20th anniversary. Thank you for your hospitality.

I loved the cabin it was beautiful the inside was so clean and nice actual dishes and cooking tools down to paper towels and even a washer and dryer. The owner was super sweet can’t wait to deal with her again. It was me and my girlfriend 4 year anniversary and I wouldn’t of went anywhere else
