Our Stay

Our stay here was amazing! The property was in excellent condition! We had a couple minor problems, but none that kept us from enjoying our stay. The only major concern was that the fridge did not stay very cold, so make sure you have a cooler on hand.

Great cabin in the mountains!

We stayed here for a wedding that was at The vineyards at Betty’s creek - we were so close to the venue, which was perfect! The cabin was great but was a bit tricky to get to. I recommend getting there in the daylight! :)

Blackberry ridge

Great cabin but no real view . Beautiful forest though . The gas fireplace was not working. Maybe no gas ? Florida folks were chilly in the am . Everything about the cabin was wonderful . Directions to cabin need to be revamped. Directions need to be more explicit.

We saw bears, and couldn’t have been more thrilled!!

Blackberry Ridge was a fantastic Great Smoky Mountains base camp for our stay. Picturesque & super comfortable, we really enjoyed the porch, hot tub & firepit (my daughters appreciated the great roasting sticks for our s’mores sessions). Our first afternoon at the cabin we were treated to the sight of two bears moving through the hill below the cabin. The dry leaves alerted my wife to their presence and we could just make them out from the deck. I came around the driveway and got a great look at them as they headed down the road, pausing to give us a look before they went on their way. Wildlife aside it was a wonderful location for our 4 day visit. We headed off to hikes in and around the park & enjoyed coming back to the cabin, cooking dinner together & some great family time in the evening. (I will say the Monopoly game desperately needs another dice, as playing with just one clearly gave my wife a strategic advantage she somehow leveraged to clean the board with us).

Place was nice but could be improved.

They were nice enough to give us a discount since the internet did not work. There is a very small TV and it didn't get ESPN and other basics. The cabin is nice but needs some TLC. For instance, there is an outlet in upstairs king bedroom that isn't attached to the wall. Other outlets have similar problems. There was a nail sticking out of wood flooring on the stairs inside. Ouch! Needs better pillows and the so called pullout was a disaster. Yard keeping was lacking too. This cabin has so much potential.... Overall, it was a nice quiet place and our family did have a good time.
