Lovely cabins
The Paradise View cabin was comfortable, roomy, beautiful views! Unfortunately there was an unforeseen and not preventable water pump problem after a few days. We were directed to move to another cabin which was not as scenic or large but very adequate, comfy and cute decor. The issue at Paradise was fixed asap and we could have moved back but decided to leave a day early. We will definitely recommend both these cabins to others. The owners were communicative and gracious as possible under the circumstances. We hope to return.

We were blown away by the beauty of our surroundings and the cabin itself. We were continuously stunned and thrilled the entire stay. We definitely plan to stay again. For a longer time next time, for sure. Two days was not near enough time to enjoy the mountains and surrounding area, particularly Gatlinburg.

Just like Heaven
This cabin was fully loaded with everything you need dishes, towels, washer/dryer, so you can feel like you are at home. Just bring your own food. My fiancé and I stayed here for 4 nights and we both agreed that out of all our vacations this is our best one. The cabin had a ungodly view I mean it was a view like no other and you get different angles when you step up on the top patio. We didn’t use the hot tub but it was clean and ready. We slept peacefully and couldn’t wait to wake up and see the sunset. The service was great they answered all questions and were very friendly. We were 10 minutes away from everything, all the activities were right there no long amounts of driving! The weather called for thunderstorms the whole week but the weather was on our side and it rained when it was needed so we got to do everything from ziplining, water rafting, fine dining, horseback riding, chair lifts, coasters, Aquarium, it’s so much to do there I could live in the Smokey’s. We will definitely reserve this cabin every year from here on out.

The perfect stay for the GSM
We loved our stay in the beautiful bear ridge cabin. Everything was well maintained and it was spotless clean! We loved the jacuzzi after hiking through the GSM. The barbecue was also perfect. We will stay here again if we come back to the GSM.

Great family cabin!
We had a great weekend trip to Gatlinburg with 3 families/friends. The house was well equipped for everything we needed. The drive to all the activities was close enough yet far enough out to enjoy the beautiful scenery. Thank you!

What a great time we had!! Thank you again for sharing your cabin with us. There was a raccoon on the front porch and then a momma bear and 2 cubs came to visit too. The momma bear came up on the porch and took my diet coke. HA HA. What an experience!!! Thanks again and we hope to visit again in a few years.

Weekend Getaway
My husband and I took this opportunity for a long weekend getaway and wanted to stay in a cabin instead of a hotel. Great decision; as was selecting Bear Cave Cabin. Everything we needed for a comfortable weekend was already there. The cabin was spotless and the amenities were terrific. Can't wait until our next trip so we can book the cabin again.

Great getaway!
My family and I stayed at Precious Memories as a college graduation/family vacation trip. The secluded location and views were just what we were looking for. No long winding road to travel to get to cabin. Just a quarter mile off of Wears Valley Road. We will definitely seek to stay here again.

Great Cabin, nice and secluded!
We loved our time at your cabin. It was clean, comfortable and secluded. It was on a street with a few other cabins, but not in a cabin neighborhood which was nice if you want seclusion. The kitchen had everything you need, but we only cooked breakfast twice. We would stay here again next time we are up in the area.

Such a great weekend making memories
We surprised my oldest with a trip back to see her friends and the cabin was the center of our trip! Everyone enjoyed lounging, grilling, and just catching up at the cabin! We will most definitely be back!

Great week with family
Over the rainbow was beautiful and CLEAN! We had 20 family members from age 2 months to 84 years old. We made such great memories. The cabins comfy beds, many bathrooms, and large living spaces made it comfortable for everyone. The only complaint was that we ran out of gas for the grill but we were able to finish cooking in the oven. Thank you for a great vacation. We hope to be able to visit again!

Awesome stay.
Had a wonderful time at the cabin! The view was amazing. The road up was a little tricky but manageable. The cabin was very clean and well stocked. The hot tub was much needed after days hiking in the gorgeous mountains. We will be back!

Awesome Stay
We were fortunate enough to stay at Precious Memories Cabin outside of Townsend, TN. The cabin had everything that we needed, including space, TVs, a full kitchen, a hot tub, and great views. We could not have been more satisfied with the cabin and the rate that we payed to stay. Thanks for having us!

Wonderful location and beautiful cabin
This was our second stay in Black Bear Lodge and it was just as wonderful as our previous stay. We love the location because it offers seclusion and the cabin was well stocked and very clean. The owner, Jerry was very friendly and quick to fix a small repair in the bathroom. Couldn't ask for a better stay and we are already planning our next trip.

This is one of the cleanest cabins we have ever stayed. The beds are very comfortable. We love Cade’s Cove and this was a great place to stay because it is so close. You also don’t have to fight all the traffic staying at this location.

Fabulous experience
Our family stayed here and had an outstanding experience. I travel way too much and stay in lots of places. This cabin was a great refreshment and restful time for our family to relax and have fun together. All utilities functioned, there were plenty of towels and it was a cozy environment. Further, they were kind on the phone and got us in a great place for our family.Thank you again.

ANOTHER Great Stay at Black Bear Mountain
We try to come at least once a year. We have stayed in many of the cabins but have settled on Black Bear Mountain for the last few years. It's usually just the 2 of us and it seems like home away from home, except in the very peaceful mountains. The cabin is always nice, well kept and comfortable. I really like the privacy and the quiet. Danny has been great to deal with and we always look forward to our return visit. Definitely 5 of 5 rating.

Great Family Get Away
We love this cabin! It was so clean and well stocked. The owners were so attentive and got back quickly with all our questions. It is a great location, close enough to Gatlinburg and secluded enough to have that mountain cabin feel. We would definitely stay there again! You will not be disappointed!

Wonderful Weekend
We stayed at Over The Rainbow for 3 nights during New Years Eve weekend with our 4 adult children and spouses and our 6 grandchildren. This was so much fun. The location is perfect. We loved being away from the crowds. It was close enough in for a meal out or for shopping. The cabin is beautiful. The grandkids loved the air hockey table and theater room. We cooked most of our meals with ease and loved the family time. We would definitely rent again.

Amazing & will be repeat customer annually!
I am late posting this review. We are thinking of staying again soon so I looked up the reservation in my email. We had the most incredible experience and vacation. We stay in two different cabins owned by the same people. Everything was clean and cozy. I loved being so close to Cade's Cove. I was pregnant with our first and only child while we were there, and we could not agree on his name until this trip. It will always be a special trip for us to reflect on, and a special place for us to visit in the future. We ended up naming our son Caden while driving through Cade's Cove while we were there. We plan on bringing Caden (now 2 1/2 years) to visit, and stay in one of the same cabins. We look forward to making it an annual visit, and a chance to tell our son the story of how we came up with his name. Everything about the trip was perfect, and stress free. We still tell people about the cabins we stayed in, and if they want something secluded and relaxing to stay in one of the cabin we stayed in during our visit. If you want seclusion, clean cabin, not too far of a drive from Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge, with an amazing view, and close to Cade's Cove....this is the cabin for you!
