Great cabin
The cabin looked just like it did in the photos. The place was clean and beautiful. The drive up was a bit scary for me the first time but after that it was fine. Beautiful, clean cabin with a really cool shower. We had a few minor issues when we arrived but the host text back right away. Great communication the entire time .

A little disappointed
WIFI password was not on the refrigerator as in the check in email listed. Also, no starter shampoo/conditioner, no black washcloths, fitted bed sheet wouldn't stay on and stains on pad underneath, and many light bulbs burnt out.

This property is exactly as pictured and is probably the cleanest rental I've ever stayed in. We did have an issue with the refrigerator not working while we were there, but the owner quickly got a repair person out and the decision was made to order a new onrather than

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.

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!
