Anniversary Getaway

I'm not sure how we missed it but this property is a part of a clubhouse. We were pleasantly surprised to get pool access to 3 pools but unpleasantly surprised how surrounded by neighbors we were. The driveway is very steep which we were prepared for but we did think there would be a flatish spot to park. However, there was not so just be prepared for that. Overall we really enjoyed our stay at the cabin! The soaker tub and hot tub were great. The bed is super comfy. We spent a lot of time just relaxing, reading, and watching the Olympics which was so perfect on our time away from the kids. There were a lot of cobwebs unfortunately which is why we didn’t rate the cleanliness high. And there were lots of extra pillows but no pillowcases for them. We did text the owners and they said use what we could find but unfortunately there were none anywhere.

Peaceful Stay but Close to So Much!

We had a wonderful stay nestled in the mountains and found the location to be convenient for all the activities we wanted to do and all the attractions we wanted to see. Thank you for letting us stay at the cabin!

Amazing!

The cabin is gorgeous and so close to downtown gatlinburg. The roads up to the cabin are very steep, but that is what makes the mountain staying experience so much fun. The hosts are so nice and responsive as well. 10/10 would recomend.

Steep driveway....Beware.

The road to the cabin is very narrow. We left our friends who stayed in town early every night to get back to the cabin before dark. I lived in Denver with mountains but these roads were narrow and not a place for a van that we used. The cabin was great. Clean as a pin. Very pleased but the driveway is on a slope. I would not stay here again due to roads and parking conditions.

It was OK

The description wasn't very accurate. We chose this cabin because the reviews said how clean it was. We didnt think it was very clean. It needed a good "Spring cleaning", floors had dust on them, quite a bit under furniture. Loved the washer and dryer, the bears that visited, the bed was comfy, kitchen was nice, furniture in living room was not very comfortable, not enough bath towels and washcloths but maybe that was because washer and dryer were available. It was reasonably priced compared to others. It doesn't have any "yard space" only outside area is the deck. Make sure you keep the gate closed on the deck as a bear was trying to get up there. I hated the driveway and the scary roads to the cabin. Definitely need 4WD for the driveway, which we had.

Spring hiking in the smoky mountains

Drive way very steep with sharp turn into a sloped parking space. A bit of a challenge in our very large rental pick-up truck which we were not accustomed to driving. We had requested a small SUV, but the pick-up was all the rental agency had when we got in.

Rustic refuge

Quiet, peaceful getaway on the mountainside above Gatlinburg. We enjoyed driving through the Smokey Miuntsin state park, especially the Cades Cove loop. Gatlinburg had lots of beautiful Christmas lights and shopping. Enjoyed our time here.

Beautiful cabin

The cabin was beautiful! The bed was extremely comfortable- the cabin was neat and orderly but definitely needed a good dusting. Chunks of dust and dirt were on the lampshades in the bedroom- there was hair in the shower the outside of the kitchen trash can was filthy. Don’t get me wrong it didn’t ruin our trip by any means but it could use a good scrub down.

Anniversary trip

We had a very enjoyable’s trip, and we’re extremely close to Gatlinburg and pigeon Forge. The owners of the property were wonderful, and even helped my husband set up a surprise for when we arrived with flowers. I would recommend this unit and appreciate the owners for letting us stay at their great cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Kim Meyer

Host profile image
Kim, who is from New Orleans, Louisiana, has been a frequent visitor to Gatlinburg since early childhood. After experiencing the beauty of the mountains, views, waterfalls and all of the activities offered in the area, she knew she wanted to have a vacation home here. When the cabin became available, she convinced her husband, John, who is from Lafayette, Louisiana, to buy and renovate it. Black Bear Ridge was born and for the past ten years has been upgraded and kept in pristine condition. Our cabin had been with a rental company but we decided to change to VRBO. We hope you give us a chance to introduce you to a true mountain experience.

Why they chose this property

Once you come to Gatlinburg, you will know why we chose this area; the friendly people, entertainment, which includes all of the amenities located in both Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg, outdoor activities, shopping and wonderful dining. Some of these amenities include Dollywood, Splash Country water park, the aquarium, Titanic, The Island, which includes unique shops, dining and a 200 foot ferris wheel. The dining includes a vast array of restaurants such as The Park, Cherokee Grill, Smoky Mountain Brewery and No Way Jose's. The activities include hiking in the Smokies, ice skating ( year round), skiing, white water rafting, tubing, zip lining, shopping in the arts and crafts community where local artisans create and sell their crafts. For the nonhiker, the Motor Nature Trail is an option for those wanting to view the Smokies from the comfort of their vehicle, which is located at traffic light number 8, Airport Road.

What makes this property unique

One cannot help but fall in love with Black Bear Ridge, an authentic, lovely log cabin. Staying in this cabin affords you the true mountain experience. Upon waking in the morning and smelling the crisp mountain air while sitting out on the deck surrounded by nature (and sometimes viewing wildlife), you'll soon feel your cares drift away.
