Extremely clean, great amenities, including pool and hot tub with plenty of bedrooms and bathrooms for our two families. Very quiet during the week with a livelier crowd over the weekend. Close to Pigeon Forge while at the same time feeling like we were a step away from the hustle and bustle. Excellent communication with host, we enjoyed our stay! Thank you!
We enjoyed our 2nd stay at Black Bear Lodge and loved it! It is the perfect place for our family to reconnect. We love that the bedrooms are on one floor, the common area is on another floor, and the pool/fun area is on a separate floor. This allows "together" time and yet allows everyone to have "private" time. The owner, Karen, was just an email away for anything that we needed. Thank you for allowing us to make another year of memories b sharing your wonderful house and the beautiful views.
The cabin was very clean and the beds, comfortable. The views of the mountainside were perfect! The host’s instructions were thorough where we didn’t to contact them for additional information. The pool was clean and the water, warm.
This property was amazing! It was beautiful inside with spacious well-decorated rooms, each having an ensuite bathroom. Loved that! My grandsons loved the huge bunk beds. The long farmhouse table was great for meals. The game table was nice so the kids could leave their games out. We cooked 2 meals a day in the kitchen. And the inside pool was a hit, as was the jacuzzi. And the view was gorgeous. We loved this place and highly recommend it.
The rooms were clean, and the house was as described. The host was very quick to respond to our messages and willing to send people out to troubleshoot some issues we had, and said they would look into the issues after our departure. While we opted to not have anyone come out and the issues were mostly minimal we did experience a few things; all but one bedroom tv did not stay connected to the internet, making the TV's not functional. The ceiling fan in bedroom 4 wobbled that it ended up disturbing the person sleeping in that room. Bedroom 2 had some old/missing rubber seal on the shower door which made a mess of water on the floor. Again these issues weren't a huge deal and we made due. The views were amazing and couldn't be beat. Enjoyed our morning coffee and evening drinks out on the decks. There are alarms on all the doors on the lower level, while I appreciate the safety, the alarms got really annoying after a short while. It would be nice to have the option to turn them off especially with groups of older kids and adults. Out on the porches we noticed a ton of carpenter bees flying around, not sure if this is the season for them or if they are always out. They didn't bother us and we ended up just watching them fly around. You may want to keep an eye on little ones because the female bees can sting if they are bothered. Overall we had a great stay and would love to come back again!
What an amazing property! We were in town for a family reunion and our first time in the area. Our cabin was perfect for the occasion. We enjoyed the cabin so much we decided to stay an extra day. The staff was quick to respond and accommodate our family. We were close to everything we needed and more.
This cabin was perfect for our Thanksgiving vacation. Communication was great both before and during the stay. The indoor pool and hot tub were a hit with everyone and the kids loved the game room. We would definitely stay here again.
