Perfect location, Seclusion, Pet Friendly, Wooded Paradise

Look no further! Black Bear Lodge is a private, secluded cabin located in a perfect, central location between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We have three cabins located on this private, secluded 7 Acres all situated perfectly for ultimate privacy. Trappers Ridge holds Black Bear Lodge, Flying Squirrel, and Turkey Feathers.

Black Bear Lodge is a two bedroom/two bathroom cabin that can sleep up to 6 (4 adults maximum) and is perfect for a family getaway, a few friends looking for some time away, or even just a couple on an anniversary or honeymoon retreat. There is one king bedroom and one bathroom upstairs with the kitchen and living room. Downstairs you will find the second bedroom (queen) and bathroom with the gameroom. Game room has two twin size sleeping areas. Each level has its own private deck viewing the beautiful wooded property. The large hot tub sits on the lower deck.

The kitchen comes fully stocked with all main appliances, cookware, dishes and utensils. No food or pantry items are provided.

We provide towels and linens as well as only a starter supply of toilet paper, paper towels, trash bags, dish soap, and two dishwasher and laundry pods. For extended stays, you may need to bring or replenish these items.

Awesome cabin with perfect location

Everything was just as described. We could not have asked for anything more. This cabin is not far from the main strips of Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge yet it is very private. We loved the wrap around porch and all the little details inside the cabin.

Perfect Cozy Cabin

We highly recommend Black Bear Lodge! The owners were so kind and very welcoming. Messaged me and offered us the cabin a day early to beat the inticipated snow. The cabin was very clean. Location is in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, so ideal. Would definitely stay here again.

Very nice and cozy cabin

The cabin is very clean, warm and welcoming. We used the hot tub a few times and it was very clean as well. Our kids, ages 10 & 13, really enjoyed the game room. It is pretty secluded, we could barely see the other cabins. It was very convenient being close to both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We did try to be back to the cabin before it got dark though because of the steep roads and sharp turns to get to the cabin.

Cozy & great location

The Black Bear Lodge cabin was very nice. We loved the location, the hot tub, the fire places, and the promptness of the owner’s communication with us. The cabin was very tidy, and everything had its place. The only issues we had, were that the recliners need to be replaced, new mattresses, and the main bathroom outlets didn’t work. We let the owner know, so these things could be corrected for the future. All and all, we had a great stay.

Black Bear Lodge is a peaceful, fully well equipped paradise retreat.

This cabins location and nearby amenities were perfect for our week getaway. The cleanliness, furnishings, and standard supply stock of kitchen, bath, and bedrooms were more than adequate for a two person stay. Bed was extremely comfortable. There were no mechanical issues at all. Having on site amenities of recreation room & hot tub was very enjoyable. The proximity to both Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge allowed us to the flexibility and spontaneity we were looking for in this trip. Hosts were always available for questions both prior to and after arrival. Hosts are extremely helpful and timely in response. We had a very enjoyable week. The access to cabin was a bit tight. It's single lane, so meeting another car, which happened only once during our week's stay, required 1 vehicle to have to back up. There are 3 cabins that share this access road. Overall, this cabin is a 10 out of 10, and I would highly recommend it.

Awesome cabin

This cabin was very nice, it isn’t a 5 star hotel, it is a cabin in the woods. So keep that in mind when booking any cabin But this one had all the games you could need as well as the hot tub! My only complaint was the mattresses both need to be replaced. They were very uncomfortable, with that being said I would absolutely book again and recommend to anyone!

Anniversary trip

We really enjoyed our stay. Property was just as described. The power went out while we were there and property manager was very good of keeping us informed on when it might come back on. The only negative I could say was the bed was extremely uncomfortable. It was very hard, so if you like a hard bed your golden. I would suggest a small refrigerator in the downstairs area, so if your using game room or hot tub you don’t have to keep going back upstairs. We loved the cabin and will definitely stay again.

Great!!

Really enjoyed our stay. Awesome location in between Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. The cabin was surrounded by woods so it kind of felt like we were in a treehouse while we sat on the deck. You will get loud thumps on the roof every now and then from falling acorns but once you figure out that’s what it is you just kinda laugh about it. Only negative I would say is the hot tub is not big enough for 4 grown adults. Fits 2 comfortably. Overall we had a wonderful time and the cabin was great!

Perfect Getaway

I wanted to share our experience with anyone looking for a nice place to stay in the perfect location. It was very quiet and serene; our kids saw a little black bear outside. The pool table was the perfect addition and we spent a lot of time playing with the kids. We slept comfortably and the cabin is well appointed. My only surprise was the road to get to the cabin. It was manageable but it is a bit steep(I do drive a surburban) so getting around the tight corners was a challenge. Otherwise, everything was perfect. Thank you!

Cute

Black Bear cottage was very clean and cute. However, the kitchen cabinets didn't close, the light on the stove didn't work, no where to put your groceries. Lots of bees on the deck! No blankets. Not enough dishes or silverware. Electric griddle, toaster need to be replaced. Misty was super nice to work with!

Stunning

Our stay at the Black Bear Lodge was absolutely amazing it was just as it was in the pictures if not more. The secludedness of it the views just everything was beautiful. We wasn’t even out of the driveway yet and our kids was already asking when we were going to come back. If we had to say anything at all on a somewhat negative level it would be extremely hard but one thing we did have a small issue with was the hot tub though it was still amazing there was a couple things that we dealt with one being the temp button was messed up and every time we would pull the cover off to get in there would be this layer of white stuff all over the top of the water we wasn’t exactly sure what it was but it wouldn’t go away. Other than that it was absolutely amazing and we WILL definitely be booking it again for sure. Also if you are afraid of heights you will probably want to close your eyes on the drive up the road to the cabin it’s pretty steep but I promise you once you pull in that driveway it’ll all be extremely worth it. Thank you again for sharing your beautiful cabin with my family and I. Love The Taylor Family ❤️😊🥰

Relax after our daughters SC wedding 6-6-23

We stayed in the cabin June 7-10, 2023 Oh my goodness, where do I begin…. The cabin was amazing, so super clean, kitchen organized and well stocked! My grandkids (2&9yrs old) stopped by and they LOVED the old arcade games!!! The cabin was nice and cool and bonus, you cannot hear anyone walking on the porch or on the main floor. The cabin is well made and just perfect!!! The first day we found a scorpion… that was interesting and second day a mommy and baby bear cub visited us!! Third day two bears playing in the road right in front of the cabin. When we drove by the bear, it sat down like a dog!!! Black Bear cabin is Perfectly named!!! 🧸🐻🧸 Our only regret is we spent too much time in town and didn’t get to enjoy the cabin as much as we would have liked. The host really out done herself making this cabin perfection!!! I cannot wait to book this sweet little cabin in the NEAR future! Thank you for an amazing adventure!! From your new Ohio Family! ❤️❤️

About the host

Hosted by Misty Tobitt

We are a couple of Tennessee residents who absolutely love traveling to the Smoky Mountains. We were born and raised in Nashville and have recently just moved a little North of Nashville to a more country-like setting. We have been married since 1994 and our first experience with Gatlinburg was our honeymoon. We loved it then and still do! It has been a treat seeing the growth of this place over the last 20+ years.

Why they chose this property

We chose Black Bear Lodge to finish off our private 7 acre retreat. There are only three cabins located on this property and having already owned two of them (Turkey Feathers and Flying Squirrel), we have been anticipating the day we could add the third one (Black Bear Lodge) into our family!

What makes this property unique

Black Bear Lodge is located in an easily accessible location right in the middle of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg.
