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

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.

Amazing stay!

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.
