Our stay was wonderful! Our group of 12 had plenty of room. The kitchen/living room setup was ideal. It was nice that we didn’t have to drive too far up the mountain. All around great cabin, wonderful hosts!

Beautiful, Clean, Amazing Views

We had an amazing time at the cabins. Our group ranged from ages 1 – 41. Everything you would need was available. There was even a baby gate available for use. The owners are amazing. I reached out to upon my arrival about some issues, and they promptly responded and resolved the issues. I highly recommend these cabins, and look forward to returning for a third visit.

Girls Weekend

I planned this girls trip to come see a show Thurs night at a bar in knoxville. The 4 other girls live near Winchester and would drive up, I was flying down from OH. Weds night we found out they cancelled the show. I said well, we’ll still have a great time! By golly we did. Smoky Mtns feels like home to me, TN im general feels like home. It’d been over 10 years since I been and your place was amazing. The girls had a great time, it was relaxing, fun and full of memories for a quick 48 hrs. Thank you for sharing your home, the place was immaculate, towels were shaped cute, having a starter supply of everything was nice. Plan on being back real soon! Jen and girls

A great cabin in a wonderful community

We rented this cabin for a long weekend in the mountains with our children and grandchildren. Everyone loved this cabin! It was beautiful inside and out and it had games that the children could play like Foosball and air hockey. We loved the fire-pit area where we roasted marshmallows and made s’mores. The cabin is also in a great location which gives you access to some of the back-roads to get around Pigeon Forge traffic! We are glad we found Smoky Mountain Golden Cabins on the web!

Serene getaway spot

Bear Falls cabin had everything we needed! Great kitchen with lots of supplies, including a dishwasher which made cleanup easy; washer/dryer, which came in handy after fishing and hiking in the rain and mud; hottub and jaccuzi tub for relaxing; lots of games, etc. It was also super close to the park, but also very secluded – we felt like we were in the middle of nowhere, but actually had just a short drive to the park, grocery, etc. Looking forward to staying again with friends! Thanks

Fantastic Bear Falls stay

Our group had a fantastic time at Bear Falls. It wa a group of eight women who are all friends and knitters. We reserved it for the eclipse weekend and had a great time. The cabin was very clean and well furnished. We used the kitchen and it had all the equipment we needed. We also used the grill. The wrap and porches were great too. Lots of outdoor sitting and dining. We would all highly recommend a stay with Black bear Cabins.

Family “Thanksmas” Vacation

Black Bear Hollow means more to us than the tired old cliche’ “Home Away From Home”. We vacationed in several of the Black Bear Hollow cabins over the last fifteen years. For the last four years we have utilized Bear Lodge & Bear Falls for our family’s Thanksgiving & Christmas holidays. The cabins are spacious, well furnished, clean and have all the amenities that we need to have a great time in the Smokies. The cabins are secluded in a great peaceful & serene setting. As all the kids said as they walked in this year “Hey, I’m Home”.

Perfect place – perfect location!

We stayed in Bear Falls for our son’s wedding. We had a total of 13 people, spanning 3 generations, for the weekend while my husband and I had a couple days by ourselves. The cabin was perfect for the whole situation. I can’t recommend this cabin highly enough. We took time to enjoy the hot tub and the fire pit while the kids enjoyed the foosball, air hockey, and pool tables. It was perfect for spending time with family for such a special weekend!

Private, Large & Cozy

We (a family of 6) had a great week long stay. The cabin was fabulous. Large but cozy and cute but not cheesy. The beds are super comfortable and everything was clean. We had one small issue that was QUICKLY resolved by the owners. They are very responsive and friendly. We Would recommend this cabin highly. Our only negative would be that we were traveling with a 2 year old and there are lots of stairs to be mindful of…

Beautiful Cabin

We enjoyed our stay in your very clean and comfortable cabin. Although it was only the two of us it still seemed cozy. Of course we pretty much just used the main floor. The cabin is close enough to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but not too close. We really like how secluded it is. The highlight of the trip was our visits to the national park. It is spectacular! We hope to come back with our adult children and stay at Bear Falls again. Oh, the couches are amazing and the bed was very comfortable too.

Bliss in the Mountains

Our stay at Black Bear Falls cabin was the best. Where were 8 of us, my husband, myself and our three adult kids and their significant others. There was plenty of room for privacy and an open floor plan when we gathered. The cabin was very conveniently located to all the attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Also just 10 minutes from the entrance to the National Park. We all LOVED this cabin. It is beautiful, clean and my family made memories there. We will be back!!! Thank you for sharing your amazing cabin in the mountains with us.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in the Smoky Mountains. The cabin was perfect for our needs, with plenty of beds, a nice kitchen and game tables for our inside time. We enjoyed s’mores over a fire in the fire pit one evening. There were plenty of linens and the cabin was very clean. We hope to return someday and explore the areas we did not have time to explore on this trip!

Bear Falls Cabin

What a great cabin for our group. We have been going on trips to watch the final four for 36 years. We come from all over. Cincinnati, St Louis, Omaha, Atlanta and Indianapolis. We have been coming to the Gatlinburg area most of these trips and this is the first time we actually had plenty of space for all to stretch out. Easy access to the local grocery store, restaurants and golf courses. Very private and quiet. Nice to hear of the new changes to the cabin. As a group we really liked the cabin and like to come back if the cabin is available the first weekend of April in 2017. Only suggestion these old men made was maybe a larger screen TV in the living room area. Thanks again! Tom

Bear Falls is Perfect!

This is the second time that our campus ministry has booked a cabin with the Tisch family and we have no plans of ever booking with anyone else. The Tisch family have always been quick to respond to any questions, have strove to go above and beyond to make each stay the best one, and we always know that our stay will be top-notch. Bear Falls was roomy, the accommodations surpassed all expectation–beautiful scenery, large cabin, comfy beds, and plenty of seating–not to mention a fantastic all of this was at a fantastic price!

Great Place to Stay!!!

Black Bear Falls is a gorgeous cabin! The house is well decorated and the fireplace was wonderful. We cooked our meals almost every night in the beautiful, well-stocked kitchen and enjoyed game after game of pool, air hockey, and fooseball in the upstairs loft and downstairs game room. It was great that the linens were provided (less packing for us) and the beds were very comfortable. The owners were very easy to work with, even when we had some surprise guests come and stay with us for one night. Since it was winter time and the chance of snow was very likely, we were concerned with snow; however, there was no need because the house is easily accessible with a paved driveway and only a few hundred feet off of the main road. The cabin is only a little drive away from downtown Pigeon Forge, Gatlinburg and also Cades Cove (where we seen some HUGE bucks and a black bear) which was fantastic because we went to several attractions and shopping there. Black bear falls is a perfect place to stay for anyone going on a family vacation to the Great Smoky Mountains. Might I also add that the picnic area with the fire pit and the cave were also really cool features to this property.

Beautiful Black Bear Falls!

Our family of five and two friends stayed five nights at Black Bear Falls and had a wonderful time. The cabin is very spacious and clean! It has three levels, so our kids were spread out and had space for themselves. The owners always responded to my questions in a very timely manner. The part I liked best was the ease of arrival and departure. We were given a code to the door, so we didn’t have to stop anywhere to pick up or drop off keys which takes time away from vacationing. We were there in March so we had a few cold nights, but the fireplace kept us cozy and warm. The kids took walks, built fairy houses down by the waterfall, played volleyball at the picnic area and used the hot tub every day. We were centrally located, so we were able to spend time in Townsend (check out the swinging bridge behind Lilly’s Cafe!) and go to some attractions in Pigeon Forge. We went horseback riding, explored Tuckaleechee Caverns, shopped at the outlets, rode the alpine coaster, went to a great magic show at Wonderworks, and even flew in a helicopter! It was always so nice to come back to relax in the inviting cabin. Would definitely recommend Black Bear Falls and renting from the Tisch family.
