About this property
Perfect location, Secluded, 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.
Being 3.5 miles to downtown Gatlinburg and 5 miles to Pigeon Forge, you have the best of both worlds. You will feel as though you are in the middle of nowhere but are a matter of minutes to restaurants, attractions, shopping, and the Great Smoky Mountain National Park entrance.
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.

Great place with a very very clean house. Perfect for all our needs. It was hard to get our kids to go do anything because they loved the property so much!
This cabin is comfy and cozy; easy to get to; close to everything; and all you need for a nice mountain stay! We got married in this cabin 16 years ago and celebrated our anniversary here this year! Great way to celebrate with very special memories!
No matter how hard we planned to see the town we were too content to leave the confort of the cabin

Fall Break
The property was very nice. You are definitely on the mountain and get that experience. The cabin was big enough for 5 of us, but not a lot of extra room. We enjoyed the hot tub.
Loved the location of this cabin. Spent a day at Dollywood and another at Anakeesta. Cabin is directly between pigeon forge and Gatlinburg. Surrounded by the quiet woods and even saw deer and a bear on the ride into and out of the cabin a couple times. 10/10 would stay again!
We enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Lodge Cabin. It was centrally located which made for a more enjoyable time. The cabin was very clean and cozy. It included beautiful views and we loved the secluded area. I have only good things to say about the cabin. I will definitely be using again!

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.

Weekend Getaway
The cabin was nice and very secluded. The upstairs bed does not sleep very well , could use updated. It is a little noisy at night from the chestnuts falling on roof. Cabin was very clean..overall good experience.
Great location between gatlinburg and pigeon Forge. Very clean cabin and was accurate in posting. Only suggestion would be to have some more commonly used items (paper towels, toilet paper, etc.) as those were sparse. Or just be sure to pack your own. The amount given will not suffice a family of 4+. Overall great place at a great price.
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.

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!
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!

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.

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 ❤️😊🥰
It’s a very cozy cabin. It was nice to come back and relax in the hot tub, watched Christmas movies. Just a very relaxing time.

Perfect place and perfect location.
My Tennessee cabins have out done themselves. This is what a Smoky Mountain cabin experience is meant to be. Close to everything and tucked away in a private setting this place is incredible. We visited in October and the leaves were amazing but to top it off we saw 4 bears at this cabin. What an amazing experience. We will be back to book with My Tennessee Cabins.
This cabin was exactly as described and a perfect place for our family of 4. It was extremely clean, provided plenty to do for the kids…they especially loved the pool table and arcade games…and was close to everything! I would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.
Cabin was cozy and relaxing. Secluded in the wooded mountain side. Quiet and easy to get to. Plenty of entertainment for kids and the beds were really comfortable.

Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication
I will say the beds are comfortable but there was something not right with the hot tub leaving out hair and swim suits very mildew-y smell. So much so, we had to use a special shampoo several times to get the smell out! And the front steps are broken. They say it’s dog friendly but no where to really use the bathroom for the dogs. Also not really room for 2 cars to park.
