Black Bear Ridge Review
biggest pro here is proximity to gatlinburg strip and the hiking trails. biggest con is the view off the back deck. not the best. if youre looking for clear views of the smokies, this is not your ideal place. Its still a nice place overall though. Some critiques: needs some attention to the curb appeal. bulbs were out in the master bedroom and on the deck. outdoor fireplace wouldn't turn on. Not sure if gas was turned off or not. bathroom tub had a contstant leak from the faucet. mattress wasnt the worst I have ever slept on but for sure not the best. Cool shower. a little challenging to figure out the hot water controls but a nice shower for two. it is NOT a sauna FYI. Overall I would give it an A-/B+ For the price per night I was hoping for some better views. 2 nights was over $700

Great smoky experience!
Great place to use as a central operations site to visit the smoky and Gatlinburg, the pictures of the cabin fall short on it, making a very good surprise to arrive to the cabin.

Short Stay
Very nice place. Would absolutely recommend. Cons... outside pretty overgrown. Half of light bulbs were out and unfortunately there was major construction taking place next door. There was construction equipment noise (no fault of the property owner) (crane

Great Place For Rest
Wonderful property! Had everything we needed to have a great romantic Anniversary stay. The shower is Amazing! The outside deck area was very relaxing along with the hot tube! The only thing I would suggest is some blinds over the windows next to the door so the neighbors can’t look in on you. Thanks for letting us stay!

True mountain experience
The cabin was exactly as pictured and described. It was clean and ready for new guests. The porch, hot tub, and shower were definitely the highlights. If you do not like driving up steep mountain sides without guard rails this is not the place for you! It is a true mountain experience from the drive up and even the parking was pretty steep angles. Sierra was very easy to contact and quick to respond. If we ever had the opportunity to come back, just the two of us, we would definitely stay here again.

Gatlinburg Getaway
Black bear ridge was a great get away for my wife and I. The cabin was accurately described in the listing. The view from the porch was amazing especially for morning coffee. Neighborhood was quiet. Only small issue we ran into was getting connected to the WiFi. Not a big deal the host was extremely responsive. No complaints with black bear ridge would 100% stay again.

Perfect Cabin for Two
We loved the cabin and location. The fireplace/back porch was so cute and cozy (it was too cold to sit outside and enjoy but we did try). The shower was amazing. Comfy bed. We would definitely stay there again.

Great place to stay if you are in the area
This cabin was beautiful, clean, and the owner was awesome. She answered any and all questions, and was a text away if we had any issues! The location is perfect, it is pretty much in the middle of everything we did in pigeon forge and in Gatlinburg.

Christmas in the mountains
The stay was awesome, the Christmas tree was beautiful. Everything was as describe. The bed was very comfortable and i love the extra pillows and comforters. We really enjoyed the outside tv, fireplace, and hot tube. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. This was our first time renting through VRBO . We will be back.

Great Weekend Getaway
Perfect Cabin for a couples retreat. Everything was very clean. Plenty of space. Loved the back deck - relaxed in the hot tub and then hung out on couch by the fire to watch some of our favorite TV shows! Beautiful stone shower and two sinks in the bathroom. Would definitely stay again!!!!

Me and my wife enjoyed the time we were able to spend of our honeymoon here. It is the perfect cabin for a couple located conveniently between downtown Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. The shower was very relaxing and the back porch was the perfect getaway.
