Great cabin
We enjoyed the close proximity to the Rocky Top Sports Complex for a soccer tournament! We also enjoyed the hot tub! Very clean!

Love 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.

Beautiful place
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!

Cozy bungalow
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.

Excellent cabin
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!

Great cabin
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.

Top of our list
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.

Everything you need and then some
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!!

Hello there, Melissa. Thanks a bunch for your lovely feedback and for choosing to stay at my Black Bear Bungalow! ???? I'm thrilled to hear that you had a great time and that the amenities hit the spot for your stay. Exploring the area and soaking in the hot tub sounds like a blast! I'm already looking forward to your next visit!

Short stay in Gatlinburg
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!
