About this property
Private Indoor Pool + Hot Tub · 4BR/4BA · Sleeps 10 · Minutes to Dollywood
Splash, soak, and unwind — your family's private indoor heated pool awaits, open year-round, 24 hours a day. Black Bear Lodge is the only thing standing between your crew and the best cabin weekend in the Smokies: 4 king bedrooms, 4 en-suite baths, a covered hot tub, arcade and foosball in the loft, and views of Pigeon Forge Parkway — all minutes from Dollywood, no mountain roads to navigate.
WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE BLACK BEAR LODGE ✓ Private indoor heated pool — yours alone, no pool hours ✓ Covered hot tub on the wraparound porch ✓ 4 king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom ✓ Sleeps up to 10 (loft has a queen sleeper sofa) ✓ 5 minutes from Dollywood & Dolly Parton's Stampede ✓ Views overlooking Pigeon Forge Parkway ✓ No mountain roads — flat, easy access from the Parkway
THE SPACE At 2,400+ sq ft across two levels, this cabin is built for groups who want space to breathe. The open-concept main floor flows from the fully equipped kitchen and dining area (seats 8) to the living room — and straight into the pool room. Walk out of the pool, towel off, and sink into the couch by the electric fireplace. This is what cabin living is supposed to feel like.
Upstairs, the open loft has a multi-game arcade cabinet, foosball table, and large-screen TV — a great spot for kids and adults to hang out between pool sessions. Two more king bedrooms are on this level.
SLEEP All 4 bedrooms feature king-size beds and private en-suite bathrooms. No bunk beds. No shared bathrooms. Just quiet, comfortable sleep after big days in the Smokies.
THE LOCATION Heritage Hill is the sweet spot of Pigeon Forge — elevated enough for views and privacy, flat enough for easy access. You're: • 10 min walk to Dolly Parton's Stampede • 10 min drive to Dollywood • 20 min walk to Old Mill • 20 min to Gatlinburg • 30 min to GSMNP entrance
No mountain roads to navigate — just a short, flat drive from the Parkway.
PERFECT FOR CELEBRATIONS Planning a birthday weekend, family reunion, anniversary trip, or girls' getaway? Black Bear Lodge is built for groups who want to be together — with enough space (and enough bathrooms) that nobody feels cramped. The pool, hot tub, and loft entertainment area mean you never need to leave the cabin unless you want to.
AMENITIES Indoor heated private pool (open 24/7, year-round) · Covered outdoor hot tub · Upstairs loft with arcade & foosball · 4 king bedrooms · 4 en-suite bathrooms · Full kitchen with granite & stainless appliances · Dining for 8 · Charcoal BBQ grill · Electric fireplace · Smart TVs throughout · Fast WiFi (128 Mbps) · Washer & dryer · 4-car parking

The location was great right off of the parkway. The house was very clean. The online listing was accurate and perfect for our family of 7 that included 2 adult children and their spouses. Highly recommend staying here with this host. We’ll be back!
We decided to take a little getaway for Christmas this year and this cabin met all of our expectations! It was a wonderful trip and we really enjoyed our stay!
Our family of 10 had a great time, the owners were very responsive. Our only issue was the pool heat, the mgmt company said it was set at 86-87, but the water was “cold”.
The cabin was exactly as advertised. Great location. The host was very responsive to any questions we had during our stay. Would definitely choose this cabin again.
Our experience from start to finish was excellent. The home was well cleaned. The hot tub was on and waiting for a relaxing experience. The pool was very clean and the temperature just right.
Our stay at Black Bear Lodge was very comfortable. We loved being close to restaurants, shops, and activities. The hot tub and indoor pool were also a big hit after long days at Dollywood or hikes in the Smokies. The house was clean and everything was as described. We would highly recommend staying here when visiting Pigeon Forge.
This house is awesome. It was perfect for our family of 10. The location is great. The neighborhood is quiet and peaceful. My granddaughters took full advantage of the pool and hot tub.
This was a family vacation ages ranging from 2-70. The location and house was perfect! The pool was awesome- the kids loved it! We will definitely be booking again!
We had a great time at this cabin! It was perfect for my family of 8 adults/teens! Would have been comfortable with a few more people - there was plenty of room with the pull out sofas. Location was fantastic - easy on and off the parkway. House was beautiful and the pool and hot tube were a huge hit! We loved having bathrooms for each bedroom - such a great feature with so many in the house. Would 100% recommend this cabin to friends and family.
We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and quick to respond when we had a question, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The house is exactly as described on VRBO — if anything, even better in person.The home was spotless and clearly very well cared for. Everything was thoughtfully labeled, the TVs were easy to use, and the layout was perfect for a family gathering. We loved how comfortable and welcoming it felt.The location is fantastic — so close to Dollywood and other attractions, yet still peaceful and relaxing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.10/10 — super clean, great location, and we would absolutely stay here again!
