This is truly a deluxe penthouse. The furnishings were luxurious, the kitchen was modern and the condo was quite large. My husband loved the jacuzzi bath tub in the master. The kids loved the heated indoor swimming pool. This is truly a year round holiday spot.

Mark & Debbie, we had a wonderful stay at Black Bear Ridge last week. Everything was just perfect at the cabin & we loved being there. We will certainly come back every chance we get. Hope to see you next time we're there!!!!

Our family (my husband & me along with our 3 married sons & their families) traveled from Iowa, New Jersey, Georgia, & South Carolina to spend a week at Over the Rainbow & we had a wonderful time! The layout and size of the cabin are great - even with 8 adults & 7 kids there was plenty of room for everyone. The living room had enough seating that we all could gather there, including the grandkids & their toys, without seeming too crowded. Our grandkids are all a little too young yet to “turn them loose” in the basement rec area, but in a few more years that would be a great option for them. They did love sleeping in the bunkbed room, and we all enjoyed watching the Super Bowl in the theater room. Several areas (living room, bedrooms) of the cabin have very nice carpeting which provided great soundproofing for those who tried to sleep in a little in the mornings! The dining room table was also nice & big and provided a great spot for crafts for the kids & games for the adults. There was even enough room in the dining room that we put up our own little Christmas tree, as we were celebrating our family Christmas during this vacation! The views are as beautiful as everyone says - it was a little too cold to be outside a lot during most of our visit, so didn’t get to spend much time sitting out on the deck, but it was nice to have snow for our Christmas! We had toured this cabin the last time we were in the Smokies two years ago, and could see that improvements are continually being made: the area of the deck with the grill now has a roof over it, complete with a ceiling fan, which would be great in the summer! Also, one night we enjoyed a fire in the outdoor firepit, which has had massive log benches added since we had seen it last. The full size washer & dryer were also very helpful for our crew. Mark was very accommodating to work with and responded promptly to all our emails. There was one problem with the hot tub, but he had a repairman out very quickly to work on it, and called to give us an update of the repairs. We wouldn’t hesitate to rent this cabin again!

My husband and I chose Black Bear Hollow Cabins for our 44th anniversary trip. The cabin was not a disappointment. It is a beautiful cabin in a gorgeous setting. When we arrived, we had an unexpected issue with the water system. I called Mark and Debbie and it turned out they had the well pump replaced the previous day; the well maintenance company had not flushed the lines. Mark had someone there within 30 minutes to hook us up to an alternate water line and almost immediately we had fresh clean water. Black Bear Hollow is very convenient to the commercialized areas of Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. I thought it was quiet at my house but there is complete silence at Black Bear Creek. It is also very close to Cades Cove which was one of the main places we wanted to visit and did not once but twice. There's also the quaint little area of Townsend. We enjoyed our stay and would recommend Black Bear Hollow and would also like to return perhaps next year.

Our group once again LOVED staying at Black Bear Hollow Cabins! It is the perfect place for a marriage retreat. Everything was clean and a very inviting atmosphere. We will definitely be in contact when we decide to do another retreat. Thanks so much!

We enjoyed our stay at the Black Bear Hollow Cabins so very much. The cabin was clean and beautifully decorated and the accommodations were wonderful. All the people in the group commented on what a very good time they had and would like to do it again.

Black Bear Hollow is our most favorite place to stay in the Smokies. It's secluded, quiet, & inspiring. We are repeat guests (9-10 times), and would not think of staying anywhere else. The cabins are located in Wears Valley in a non-commercial area, but near enough to all the attractions to make it the ideal place to stay. We have had no problems with any of the amenities such as internet, and /or phone service from our provider. Once again, A GREAT PLACE & our home away from home.

Our stay at Precious Memoriea couldn't have been more perfect. The house is comfortable, clean and well stocked. The views are fabulous, and the peace and quiet was just what we needed. It's away from all the commercial places, but close enough to go see anything. This was our 3rd stay and we will definitely be back again and again! The hot tub is great especially in the cold!

This is our very favorite place to stay when we come to Tennesee.love the cabin its always neat and ready for us to have a great time.wish we could come more often but when we do it will be at bear ridge cabin.hope to see you all soon.

Hosted an annual sales meeting at Over The Rainbow and couldn't ask for a better place! Amazing views, clean, great entertainment and plenty of room to relax . I'm already considering a return trip....

My daughter found this condo on the internet, and I am so glad that she did. It was like being in a gorgeous lighthouse. The view is simply breathtaking. The internet site states, "Spectacular Views, Private Balcony, Upscale, Luxurious, Professional Decorated!" That description is spot on. The furniture is extremely comfortable. The kitchen is fully stocked to accommodate any cooking style. Mark responds to your needs extremely quick! Orange Beach, Alabama is truly a hidden gem. We are looking forward to our next stay!

Thanks Mark and Debbie for being such gracious hosts. This is our 13th annual girls get-a-way and it has been our favorite. Over the Rainbow is an awesome name to describe the amenites from the wonderful media room to the comfy beds to the immaculate housekeeping. Your quick response to our questions was very much appreciated. We will be returing customers.

We loved our stay here! The windows span across the condo and offer a gorgeous view. There are reclining chairs, and the couches recline in 4 places, so everyone can lie down and relax! We felt so pampered the whole time. Can't wait to go back!

Hi Mark & Debbie I wanted to thank you for one of the most wonderful vacation we had at Precious Memories the cabin was Oh so super. The weather was great, the view was one we will never forget. Mark just wanted to tell you, the day you came down to fix the water line was great. We had time to talk with each other, some of that male bonding was cool. Thanks for lighting the fireplace. Again we want to thank you both for being such great people. The 5 days we stayed at the cabin were great, got to see some wild life on the porch what a surprise. Not something you would see at home. We want to come back next January, want to stay at Over the rainbow. That's the super cabin cant wait. Again thanks so much, and God Bless You !!! Thanks so much. Terry & Jackie

DWILL BE BACK) THE STAY, AND WE

We would like to thank you guys for such a great cabin getaway in the beautiful TN mountains! We were pretty pleased with the amenities. The cabin (Bear Cave) was extremely clean and nice, secluded, yet not far from the town at all. We definitely want to come back. Thanks. Appreciate ya.

Love every visit to your cabins. Always clean and ready to enjoy. The Over The Rainbow cabin is the ultimate for a group gathering or a large family. It's truly the best of the best.

Great few days of a much needed get away, family time and time to refresh and grow closer to God and family . Over the rainbow cabin made this very easy to accomplish. Accommodations were awesome and the view made it worth the trip. The management are very easy to work with and will definitely come back. God Bless .. Jeff

We had a great time. We enjoyed Townsend in the (off) season. Sitting in front of the fireplace at night was great. We were able to park right in front of our favorite stores in Pigeon Forge.

My husband and I stayed in Black Bear Cave at Black Bear Hollow Cabins for the week of our 32nd wedding anniversary. It was such a beautiful setting and the cabin was wonderful. I loved the huge king sized bed!! It was so comfortable. We enjoyed the hot tub, and the Jacuzzi tub and the gas fireplace was lovely. Everything we needed for a quiet and peaceful week was there!! We will definitely stay there again!!

Hi There, I stayed in one of your cabins with a friend for New Years. The stay was very satisfactory. The house was pleasant, clean, and rose to every expectation I had. I'm really satisfied with the help you provided in booking this cabin for me on very short notice. I didn't think I would be able to find a place in the location I wanted. The only really very small complaint I have is that the master bedroom/bathroom smelled slightly of cigarettes when we arrived. I know you explicitly said no smoking at all, so I just wanted to let you know. Other than that, the cabin was great! I had a lot of fun building fires and cooking meals there. Honestly, I wish I could have stayed there for weeks. Thank you, Mark.

My girlfriend and I came across this cabin with last minute plans for New Years. It could not have worked out better we absolutely loved it! We plan on coming back this summer and spending more time here. It comes completely equipped, clean and picturesque.

Beautiful peaceful place can't wait to stay again.

We visited orange beach with our life long friends who are Ohio State grads. We being Alabama fans, (4 children graduated there) watched the semi final college football game together. If not for the excellent surroundings and wonderful beds, my wife and I would have not slept Jan 1st night. we commented more than once to each other how great the bed was. We even stripped the sheets to see who made it! All in all a great time but they sang the fight song every time OSU scored! Next time we go with just those that are in our corner. The jinx lives on!

Had a wonderful & delightful stay. The Cabin was inviting and we all felt like we were at home. I would recommend Black Bear Hollow cabins to anyone and look forward to our next vacation.

We love renting from black bear hollow! Always great cabins and in great condition and you are actually in the mountains! We love it

We had a wonderful time with all of our family in the cabins. The cabins were beautiful, clean, and beautifully decorated. I especially loved the Christmas decorations and tree. Our stay went to quickly and we look forward to returning in the future.

This is our family's fourth time staying at your cabins. We have fell in love with the "Over the Rainbow " cabin. It is perfect! Very clean, spacious, and secluded. We will continue to come back.

We had a wonderful time with our two sons, their wives and our four grandchildren! We've never had a destination Christmas with all of them and we could not have picked a better location or cabin! We loved the secluded nature of this cabin. The view was spectacular and we loved waking up to that mountain view each morning. We all had plenty of room to spread out play and the kids loved the pool table. We enjoyed exploring the outdoors around the cabin and its proximity to all the activities in Gatlinburg.

We had a lovely time at the Bear Ridge Cabin. We needed a little time away as a family and this was the perfect place for us. Cozy, Clean & Comfortable. Would love to come back again. I have already recommended to different family members who are considering it in the future.

We had such fun staying in the Bear Cave Cabin in Black Bear Hollow last Christmas that we decided to reserve again for this year and invite more famliy along. It did not disappoint. In fact, they had since made some upgrades to the furniture and put in new gas logs for the fireplace. We also enjoyed the firepit outside on one of our milder nights along with the hottub. This year since we stayed a couple of days longer, we were able to check out the general stores and even a Christmas Eve candlelight service just down the road. We love staying in the area, and especially Black Bear Hollow for our holiday. Thanks again!

I have no idea where to begin, but here it goes. My wife and I live 45 min from Townsend, so when we just need a great get away we come to Townsend. We have stayed at various cabins through out Townsend, that is until now. Since we have stayed at Black Bear Hollow cabins we will stay no where else. The cabins are absolutely fabulous and the hospitality is incredible. We stayed there last winter and got trapped during a snow storm which was actually great!! But the owners where there right away clearing snow and making our way clear. We like it so much there that we actually book our get aways around there availability because my wife and I will stay no where else. We enjoy it so much that we booked our Daughters Honeymoon for them them there. The owners made sure they had the perfect cabin. I strongly advise you if you are looking for a great place to stay this is it. Thank you Black Bear Hollow!!!!!! I look forward to all of our future visits!!!

Precious Memories cabin was a wonderful place to stay. The location was beautiful and peaceful. The cabin had plenty of room for our family of five. It was very clean and comfortable. The location to Smokey Mountain National Park, the hikes we wanted to do, Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg was ideal for us. This location gives you a quiet mountain getaway within a reasonable distance of the activities in the area. The owners of this home are wonderful to work with. We would highly recommend Precious Memories for your mountain getaway.

We had a great time at the Black Bear Cave Cabin. Nice and secluded. Nicely furnished and it had everything we needed except for the food. And the price was great too. We drove around and looked at some of the other Black Bear Hollow Cabins while we were there and they all looked great. We will definitely be staying there again when we go back to the Smokies. I sure wish I had that 1960 Thunderbird that was sitting under the shed.

I've stayed in Black Bear Mountain twice now! It has all the amenities. It's secluded with a nice fire pit and huge hot tub! I've stayed in many local cabins, and this is my favorite! I will definitely go back!

We just had a short time before the thanksgiving holidays to bring some friends to Gatlinburg. The cabin was perfect...clean and inviting!

I would like to say this was a great choice staying with Black Bear Cabins. Everything was as it should be. The wife and I had a great time hanging out on our mini getaway. We only left the cabin once to visit Cades Cove for about 4 hours. I would recommend them to anyone!

We had 8 adults and 11 kids and this house was amazing! From the front door to the back porch it is cozy,homey and the views are fabulous! We are planning on another stay next year!

Loved the gas fireplace and hot tub. Very cozy cabin for a weekend getaway. My wife and I also had fun playing air hockey and trying some restaurants that are just a few mins drive from the cabin.
