Blissful bear lodge

My family was there for 5 nights. Cabin was ready by 4 pm on Sunday afternoon so that was ready on time. The cabin was very clean and everything worked like it was supposed to. The cabin is a beautiful cabin with plenty of room for large families. The view out the back was awesome. Very good cabin to stay in. I would definitely stay there again.

Family Vacation

The cabin is incredibly spacious as described with very good size rooms. The issue is that it needs a refresh across-the-board. The dining room table was chipping, as was the red couch in the Family room. Unfortunately, the air-conditioning in the main part of the house broke during our stay and it took them several days to get a portable unit. Location was good.

Perfect for our group!

Perfect space for our group! The kids loved the pool, game room, and theater. Beds were comfortable for adults and we all had plenty of room. We loved having a Christmas tree to enjoy along with the fireplace. We also liked that it was close to town as we headed out to Dollywood one day and to Gatlinburg. The company responded very quickly when we had a question. It was a wonderful trip!

Family vacation

The house fit our needs perfectly! Plenty of space to spread out. Three generations! Relaxing atmosphere all around! Grandkids loved the game room, theater and pool! Always something to fill their free time. Had difficulty with the upstairs air conditioning unit twice not working properly but the house maintenance was quick to respond. Would definitely recommend this property!

Only a few suggestions. 1) More and better kitchen items for cooking and utensils. 2) The cable/enternet was terrible. The cable would go out and automatically reboot itself about every hour. This took up to 10-40 minutes to take place.

Great trip!

The house was wonderful and yes very clean upon check-in. With so many things to do no child was ever bored. We did take two whole days of just chilling at the cabin and there were no complaints. There were two small maintenance items that didn't impact our stay but the email we sent was promptly addressed. The view is phenomenal and the house was very well stocked. The only item we needed and didn't have was a pizza cutter. As others have noted the air conditioner in the pool area doesn't work. Or if it does there was no remote to operate it and the windows are locked. It did get warm in there and it would have been nice to have some air moving. The pool was at a perfect temperature! The cabins are a bit close and if you have the same luck as we did to get a group singing loudly and badly at all hours next to you, you may want to make sure to have something for white noise. Fortunately, we only had two nights of 1 am serenades.

Spring Break 2024

We just had so much fun at the Blissful Bear Lodge!! Our family of 19 drove in from New York and Illinois to have a family reunion. Everything in the house was clean and organized and management was quick to respond to a few questions we had while there! The house was big enough giving our family the space it needed with 9 adults and 10 children. The kids love love loved the pool! At first we were slightly disappointed as there were no pool toys as shown in the photos on VRBO. But that didn't stop the kids from swimming and having a blast. Bring some pool toys just in case! The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed to cook. We had a 1 year old and we were able to contain him without using any baby gates. The location was perfect, a short drive to Gatlinburg, Dollywood, and Smokey Mountain National Park. However, during spring break there was a ton traffic and everywhere was crowded. If you go durning spring break just keep in mind that there will be crowds and traffic! We did not have any bear sightings and am I crazy to say I am kind of sad we didn't get to see any!! So many wonderful memories were made during our week at Blissful Bear and we will definitely be back!

Christmas in the Smokies

We decided to get away for Christmas this year! And who wouldn’t want a Christmas in the Smoky Mountains! We had a few small issues, and some bigger issues due to the arctic vortex that decided to hit. Those issues were out of anyone’s control. We had an issue with most of the outlets in the kitchen not working, and needing to make Christmas dinner was difficult, had to adjust. Trash hadn’t been picked up from previous tenants, so bins was 3/4 full. Tennessee decided to have rolling blackouts on Christmas Eve during the big freeze. Main drain froze, out of anyones control, but couldn’t use any water whatsoever. We had to drive down the mountain to a gas station anytime someone needed to use the restroom. Their plumber was able to fix, after working for 4 hours! He was our saving grace that day! All in all, our family enjoyed spending time together, kids enjoyed Golden Tee golf tourneys, and playing poker! Hot tub on the deck was “life changing” according to my 16 yr old :). Beautiful view of the mountains! Lots of space for everyone to spread out.

Great cabin

This cabin was great. Great location the drive up is not bad (not to scary lol). Great views and very accommodating for a large group. Only a few complaints the shower heads could be better something with settings or at least detachable almost everyone didn’t like the shower heads. There was not a fold out bed in the front room or in the movie theater but we made things work. The pool was extremely cold I kept forgetting to see if purchasing heat was an option but next time will make sure I check that ahead of time and pay for that. Kids still enjoyed the pool, the hot tub, the theater, the pool table and all the games offered.in the cabin. Location was amazing. Will book again!

Disappointed

The location and view were awesome. Loved having the game room, pool, hot tub and movie room. The bedrooms were great. The dryer did not work and a part needed to be ordered so we did not have it the entire week. Because of timers on the water heaters we were unable to get hot showers except for certain times. We were taking cold showers most of the time. The couches need to be replaced and also the kitchen table. We had a leaky toilet but it was repaired when we called. One of the refrigerators was missing shelves which we could have used. It could be a great place if these issues are addressed.

Family vacation

We had a wonderful time at The Blissful Bear Lodge. Clean and spacious. 4 generations and all were happy! The only criticism would be the grandparents needed a ladder to get into the beds on the main level and kitchen wasn’t stocked for cooking with a large family. Very spacious and spectacular view.

Family Getaway for 20

The Blissful Bear Lodge was just as listed. No surprises. Easy check in and check out. Cabin was well furnished and had most anything you needed. It was a short drive into Pigeon Forge. We had 20 family members ranging from 1 to 70 year old. Loved that each bedroom had its own bathroom!! Teenagers were well entertained with the amenities provided! Two things could have made the stay perfect… a cookie sheet and floors needed a deep clean. Socks got yucky within first little bit. But we had lots of traffic as well. We would definitely stay again!!

Mother's Day Vacay

Where do I begin? Our stay at the Blissful Bear Lodge was phenomenal. We were four families with children, celebrating Mother’s Day and a Mom's birthday. Everything about this place was beautiful—the stunning views, the luxurious accommodations, the pool, and the movie theater room. Every aspect exceeded our expectations. Everyone loved the cabin and wished we could have stayed longer, but we had to return to our normal lives. Everything was impeccably clean and in excellent condition. We encountered no issues during our stay. We hope to return in the winter to experience the splendid views once more.

Perfect vacation

Beautiful cabin with amazing views! Cabin was clean and well kept, furniture was comfortable and we had an abundance of space (we went with just bur family of 4). The pool was a huge hit with my girls (age 5 and 13) and we appreciated that it was a in a locked separate section off the game room. Also the pool was sooo warm! So many reviews (not of this cabin but other pool cabins) have people complaining about the temperature of the indoor pool but that was not a problem here. Game room was also a success, we had some heated air hockey tournaments and my husband loved golden tee. A few things worth mentioning- the heater upstairs is VERY loud when it’s running, so loud it woke my 5 year old up the first 2 nights and then we just decided to turn it off at night, which worked out ok, it was cold upstairs but not terrible. We will 100% book this cabin again, it was everything we were looking for, we enjoyed it so much we extended our stay an extra day.

Awesome Vacay

We had an AWESOME & AMAZING VACATION staying at the Blissful Bear Lodge. We didn’t get a chance to see any bears and that’s what everyone wanted after reading previous reviews butttttt we loved it still. The entire family loved the bedrooms and private bathrooms, the family room as well as the kitchen. We prepared meals together and enjoyed tv time. The teens and children enjoyed the heated and wel lite pool as well as the game room. The theater was enjoyed by all ages… the infants watched all the movies they wanted in the theater room during tv time. Recommend and we give 5 stars

Beautiful family getaway

This house was so beautiful and definitely spacious enough for our family of 17. The kids loved the pool and hot tub and everyone loved the game room and theatre room. The open concept of the living room and dining room made hanging out so easy. We also loved the privacy of each room and the fact that each bedroom had its own bathroom was a game changer. Thanks for having us!!!
