  The owners of Black Bear Lodge were very helpful and friendly. The cabin was stocked with everything you need. If you plan on cooking you will need to bring all your food and spices, but they have all the cookware needed. There's plenty of room and roughly 9 parking spaces for your group! We loved our stay and will definetely be back!

  Our family of 30 people enjoyed the Black Bear Lodge property. The property was clean and spacious enough for all of us. We had to call the host to confirm a broken chair and an issue with one of the stove. However, the host responded right away and sent someone out right away. Besides that, the whole family enjoyed the stay at the property and would go back again.

  Alicia C from Columbus, IN recommends this vacation rental

  This cabin was beautiful, perfectly laid out for our family of 32, and clean. We had a very good time exploring this beautiful country. There could be some improvement only in the kitchen amenities available such as a pancake griddle, decent pans, dish cloths, and enough silverware for all guests. However, these were minor and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

  This rental was the best experience we have had in the years we have gathered together. The location was excellent and easy to access as well as visit the surrounding attractions and shopping. The description of the property was true and precise. I was extremely impressed with the management as the responses for any questions or problems were immediately answered and resolved. The cabin was extremely clean and well maintained. It was an excellent experience and all my guests want to stay here if we return to this area. The experience was five star.

  Management was very responsive. Our 2nd floor AC wasn't working very well and they responded quickly to my text and a tech was at our door in no time. Problem fixed and all was well for the rest of the stay. Beds were very comfortable, whole house was clean. BBQ area was convenient. Plenty of kitchen ware!! Memories were created here for our family reunion and all were very pleased with their stay. Very convenient to all that Pigeon Forge has to offer.

  Stephanie M from Tampa, FL recommends this vacation rental

  We stayed at this location for a family reunion and the layout was perfect. Private rooms and baths and great central gathering locations. Kitchen was great and we were able to easily prepare big meals for everyone. Very minor issue was that there were very limited starter supplies (dishwasher tabs, trash bags) and no basic cooking spices/oils (no salt and pepper/olive oil) but this is a very minor thing and there were lots of stores close by. We loved the hottub and game room! Kids had a great time. Views were incredible. We would absolutely stay again!!

  Stacey M from RICHLAND CENTER, WI recommends this vacation rental

  We have a large family. There were 32 of us in the cabin and it did not disappoint. We had littles, teens, and us older folks. The den was a perfect hang out space of our teens they loved it. Our littles had plenty of space downstairs to run around. We should have brought a gate so they could not use the stairs. We used a couple of stools to block them from going upstairs. Kitchen was fantastic for all the cooking and meal prep that went on. Also a gathering place for conversation. Hot tub worked and was used by all. Location was easy for any off site activities. Most of our were at the cabin. We used the Walmart pick up for our groceries. Sure saved time. We will keep this in mind for our next reunion. The team took great care of making sure we could get into our cabin a bit early. Very clean and well maintained. Customer service could not have been better. We had a lot of questions and the team responded very timely.

  Tiffany M recommends this vacation rental

  We rented this cabin for our 1st family holiday gathering getaway. The cabin was everything as described online. The manager was very responsive to all of my emails and inquiries. We had a small issue when we first arrived and I sent a message late that evening of our first night to the manager and to my surprise she responded right away. The issue was resolved the very next morning. We had a blast not only hanging out at the cabin but the location to everything in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg was perfect.

  We rent the cabin for 4 nights. The cabin was perfect for our large family. Plenty of space to gather and have away time as well. It is in a great location close to so many things, but still feel you are in the mountains. The agency was so easy to work with as well.
