3,800 Sq Ft Luxury Cabin on Private Acre, Hot Tub, 2 Game Rooms, Sleeps 16
3,800 sq ft of designed-for-real-life luxury, tucked on a private wooded acre — 5 minutes from Gatlinburg, 6 from Pigeon Forge, and a world away from the noise.
This is the cabin you book when the trip actually matters. When you want the hot tub under string lights, the game room the kids never want to leave, and the kind of layout where 16 people can be together when they want to — and apart when they need to.

We loved our stay! It was in the perfect spot between gatlinburg and pigeon forge so didn’t take long to get anywhere. It was in a very quiet neighborhood. Our kids were very entertained between the game room , pool table and hot tub. The decor and inside was very clean and beautifully decorated. It was very well stocked from pots and pans to even toothbrushes. The lights were on when we arrived which was nice touch. The only negative for us was the low water pressure in the middle of our stay. The hosts were very responsive and we would stay again! Thanks for sharing your home.

Thank you for the thoughtful review. We’re so happy your family enjoyed the location, peaceful setting, and all the fun amenities for the kids 😊 We love hearing that the cabin felt clean, comfortable, and well stocked for your stay. We’d absolutely love to host your family again!
This stay was EVERYTHING!!! we booked it for Christmas ! This was the first time my family has ever done anything like this due to the passing of my granny ! We wanted to get away and this place made our first Christmas without her special. It has everything you need ! Very peaceful , clean and it’s by everything !! The farthest you may have to travel is to Walmart and that’s 10-15 minutes down the road! I have recommend this place to a lot of my people and I will be booking again! 10/10 !!

This review means so much to us, thank you for sharing something so personal. We’re honored your family chose our cabin for such a meaningful Christmas getaway, and it truly warms our hearts knowing the space helped make those memories special!
Thank you for the kind words, recommendations, and for treating the cabin like your own. We would absolutely love to welcome you back again someday!
We had an excellent stay and were truly impressed with the property. The home was exceptionally clean and thoughtfully stocked with everything we could possibly need. It was clear that great care was taken to ensure guests feel comfortable and well accommodated. The host was also very responsive and prompt in addressing any questions or messages, which we greatly appreciated.We experienced a bit of snowfall on the day we arrived, and the driveway was quite icy. After reaching out, the host promptly arranged for someone to come out the following morning to shovel the entire driveway. That level of attentiveness did not go unnoticed and made our stay even more enjoyable.The home itself was beautifully decorated and very well maintained. There were plenty of games and activities for the children, which kept them entertained throughout our trip. The fire pit beside the house was a wonderful touch and provided the perfect way to unwind in the evenings. The beds were clean and comfortably firm, and there were more than enough blankets and towels available for everyone. The third level was especially charming and worked perfectly for our boys.If we were to offer minor suggestions for improvement, we recommend adding blinds or window coverings to the downstairs bedroom for added privacy. Closet space downstairs was somewhat limited, as it was shared with the bunk room, and while we understand layout constraints, an additional bathroom would have been helpful for a larger group.

About the host
Hosted by Nikki and Zach
Hi, we’re Zach and Nikki! We poured our heart and soul into creating Black Bear Ridge, designing it with families and groups in mind so everyone can feel at home in the Smokies. Hosting is special to us because we love helping people make memories — whether it’s relaxing in the hot tub, playing games together, or exploring Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge just minutes away. We can’t wait to share this lodge with you and hope it becomes part of your family’s favorite traditions.
Why they chose this property
We chose this neighborhood because it offers the best of both worlds: privacy and convenience. Black Bear Ridge sits on a full acre, giving you space to relax without neighbors right on top of you, yet it’s only minutes from everything — 5 minutes to Gatlinburg, 6 minutes to Pigeon Forge, 8 minutes to Dollywood, and 10 minutes to the Smoky Mountain National Park. The roads are smooth and easy to drive (no steep mountain climbs), so getting here is simple for everyone. We love that our guests can enjoy a private, peaceful retreat while staying right in the heart of the Smokies.
What makes this property unique
Black Bear Ridge combines the charm of a classic Smoky Mountain cabin with the comfort of modern amenities. Unlike many rentals, it has two full game rooms with a PS5, arcades, pool table, foosball, and darts — giving kids and adults endless ways to play. Families love the thoughtful touches: a kid’s playhouse cabin, bunk spaces, and two stocked coffee bars for the grownups. The cabin sleeps up to 16 guests comfortably, making it perfect for multi-generational trips or group getaways. Best of all, it sits on smooth, easy-to-drive roads (no steep climbs) and is just minutes from Gatlinburg, Pigeon Forge, Dollywood, and the National Park. It’s the ideal mix of fun, relaxation, and unbeatable location.
