Black Bear Bungalow

The house was exactly as listed. The beds were comfortable and had enough blankets to keep warm in the cool nights. The theater room was a wonderful bonus as my birthday girl LOVES to watch movies!!! Loved the privacy of the house and was excited to see a bear!! Thank you for allowing us to stay in your home!!

Justin was a great host! Very responsive, and accommodating.

Our stay at Justin’s cabin was perfect for our family. Our kids loved the hot tub, game room, and all the bear decor. It’s 10 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg which was ideal to get away from the crowds. The cabin was very clean and I was impressed that there were no bugs inside despite being in a wooded area. Justin is very responsive and a great host throughout the reservation process. Highly recommend this cabin!

My husband and our two teenage daughters stayed at this cabin for four nights in March and it was a great experience. The cabin was exactly as described and had all of the essentials. The hot tub and media room were a big hit. The location is perfect. A short drive to a grocery store and not far from everything you might want to do. It was clean and felt remote even though there are other cabins close by. The outdoor fire pit was also really great to have for making s’mores and sitting around talking. Checkin and checkout was easy and the property manager was very responsive. Highly recommend this cabin for people under 70 and over the age of 4. There are a lot of stairs and the surrounding landscape might be a lot to manage for older seniors or families with very young children.

We enjoyed our stay here. Everything was described accurately. House was clean and had all necessities. It was quiet and in a good location

We rented this cabin due to its location. We had a volleyball tournament at Rocky Top Sports and this was only 4 mins away! It’s such a nice place. We really enjoyed the hot tub. The property manager was so helpful and did everything needed to make our trip enjoyable. We would def stay again in the future.

Bedroom #2 and bedroom #3 are the same bedroom but there is a Murphy bed in the theatre room. Aside from that it was great!

The cabin is clean and cozy and offers many amenities to help make your stay comfortable. I liked that things were clearly labeled, and instructions were available for the fireplace and hot tub. My family and I had a wonderful time in Gatlinburg and this cabin helped to make that possible. I can't wait to go back.

I have to start saying that this place is beautiful! Out of a movie! We enjoyed our stay and we’re definitely coming back next year!
If you’re looking to get out of your routine and the city, this is the perfect place.
Beautiful cabin, private and the best part we even saw a bear in our front door! Scary but a memory that we’ll have forever 🤍
Thank you Justin and family for all the recommendations!
Ps. Don’t forget to sign and read the guest book!

There are a million choices of cabins to stay in and I was a bit overwhelmed by the choices. I am so glad we picked this one! It was clean, perfect for 2 couples or a family. We can’t wait to come back and bring our kids!

I really enjoyed staying in this cabin. It had everything I needed for my 4 night stay and I honestly hated leaving! There was absolutely no trouble in finding the place when checking in and I felt there was good communication with the host. It was an overall great experience for my first time in Gatlinburg!

- Posted: 10/18/2024

Everything was great I just wish it would have been easier to get in.

My wife and I had a great visit. The property is quite secluded and well stocked with everything we needed. Highly recommended. Very close to Gatlinburg and the Arts district.

We visit Gatlinburg once or twice a year. We try to use different cabins just to get different things, locations, views, ect. But after booking this one we might have found one to use all the time. It is large with large rooms. We only had 4 but could easily handle 6 adults. Taking the back roads to Pigeon Ford was about 20 minutes and only took 8 minutes to get to the strip in Gatlinburg.

My fiancé and I really enjoyed our short time staying here! Host is super informative and helpful. We had everything we needed and enjoyed all the amenities. Perfect place to relax and unwind after exploring the Smokey’s :) We’re already planning to come back to Black Bear Bungalow!!

From the moment we walked in the door, we were excited and happy to be there. We traveled from Michigan with my 3 month old granddaughter, and the amenities provided were adequate for our stay. There was plenty to do to keep us busy if we weren’t out enjoying Gatlinburg or pigeon Forge. The only thing I was sorry about was not including a full day to just enjoy the cabin itself. We were able to cook our meals, enjoy the hot tub, do our laundry and adequately take care of the baby while doing all our activities. Justin was very quick to reply to all messages and I will go thru him for any future trips. Thanks to Tennessee for the wonderful hospitality from us Michiganders!!

We loved the cabin! Such wonderful amenities. Be aware that both sleeping accommodation are either upstairs or downstairs. No problem for us but some may have an issue. We didn’t use the theater/game room but it was so nice! All in all, we’d highly recommend this property!

Great place! Very clean and spacious! Loved how close we were to everything, but when you go on the deck it feels like you’re near no one. Loved this place and will definitely stay again!
