Smoky Mountain Golden Cabins Guestbook
Please sign our guestbook! Thanks!
absolutely wonderful!
From the moment i spoke to the owners on the phone i was impressed. Very helpful and courteous. Our family had a wonderful time staying in the cabins. they are close enough to town but far enough away to feel secluded. Very clean and beautiful. It was a perfect vacation and we didnt want ti leave. We can't wait to bring our extended family with us next year to stay even longer! I highly recommend staying at any of the Black Bear Hollow cabins you will not be sorry!

A perfect cabin for a winter getaway! My wife and I had a wonderful time enjoying the peaceful surrounding, and the hot tub of course!

Home away from Home!
We've stayed at Bear Mountain so often over the years that we consider it a "Home away from Home." Nice cabin, well maintained, secluded AND well away from the crowds! Very peaceful place that we are always sad to leaave. The Keelings

This cabin was beautiful and spacious. It was very clean and well maintained. The owners were very hospitable and made sure our stay was lovely. I would recommend this company to any wanting to stay in the area.

Wonderful Stay
This was our first visit to the Smoky Mountains and we will definitely be back! Our cabin was perfect for our family and was very quiet and secluded, plus it was surrounded by beautiful woods. We loved the hot tub on the back patio, too! Looking forward to our next visit already!

beautiful
We truly had a wonderful time at golden view lodge. The cabin is beautiful. The pictures don't do justice to this beautiful place in the clouds, looking atop the trees. It will take your breath away. It even dusted us with snow and the tops of the mountains were breathtaking. We are truly blessed with a big, close family and this was perfect. Donn is also a nice guy and responded immediately anytime we needed anything.

BEAUTIFUL CABIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The cabin was clean, easily accessible, and located within excellent views of the mountains. This is truly one of the nicer cabins in the area. We have stayed with this company before, and will continue to do so as the staff is very friendly and helpful.

Nothing but compliments
This was our second time at staying in the "Families Memories" cabin. It was just as good this year as it was last year. All of our immediate family were able to go this year (6 adults and 3 Grand-children) and we all had a wonderful time. It is convenient located for several attractions. We would be happy to stay there again!

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.

Perfect vacation
Beat falls was AMAZING!!!! The cabin was clean and very nicely accommodated. Although we only had our family of 4 staying, we could have easily had another 2 families stay!! Gatlinburg and pigeon forge are only a short drive away allowing you to enjoy the peaceful serenity of the smokies without all the city lights and buzz.

Wonderful cabin
Bear Falls is a lovely cabin with plenty of room for large groups. There is space for everyone to spread out, plus there are large common areas for everyone to spend time together. The game room is a wonderful bonus...great on rainy days! The cabin is clean and well-equipped, and the views are breathtaking. For folks who have back pain/sleeping issues, even the mattresses are great and comfortable, which is a big deal! I would definitely recommend to friends and family, and we will be back. :-)

Wonderful cabin! The location is great, right in the middle of everything. The cabin was everything we thought it would be....as advertised. Loved the living room wall of windows. The bedrooms were even bigger than they looked in the pictures too. Will definitely be back.

This is a fantastic cabin! Very spacious seating area and dining table. We enjoyed the wrap around deck and all of the comfortable outdoor furniture. The gas grill was very nice. All of the bedrooms were comfortable and the beds very comfy. We had a wonderful family time!

Can't wait to return!
We really love Black Bear Hollow Cabins. Mark and Debbie are great and the reservation process is easy. We've booked twice with them so far, and can't wait to return! We've stayed at Black Bear Falls and Over The Rainbow, both of which were spacious and enjoyable. The cabins are always exceptionally clean and well maintained. The view from Over The Rainbow is spectacular!! We met our family from Ohio at these cabins, which makes for a fun, relaxing time in the mountains. We love how the Black Bear Hollow Cabins are so secluded and quiet, yet close enough to drive to any Smoky Mountain adventure we want to experience. I hope to book again with them soon!

My family Vacation
Me and my family rented three cabins in Black Bear Hollow. We had a blast the three days we were there. The cabins were beautiful and clean. It was everything I imagine it would be. It's was very secluded and private we felt right at home we will definitely be coming back next year. We really enjoyed the town and the experience.

Bears & Family Fun
Our family of 13 loved this cabin. There was sleeping space for all of us as well as a great room gathering area. It was very clean and well kept. The location is close to many activities. We did zip line, tubing, horseback riding, caving, alpine sledding and hiking in the park. Oh, we had a visit by a young bear on our porch! Thanks!

Florida vistors
We arrived after dark and was pleasantly surprised that everything fell into place as promised with gate codes and keyless entry. The house is warm and cozy, much larger than we needed, but perfect in so many ways. I like the location close the smokies but near Maryville and Knoxville too. I appreciate the way the host has good responses to email and confirmations. A first class operation.

Black Bear Falls
We've stayed at this cabin twice now for our annual girl's weekend with 7 ladies. Clean and plenty of room for everyone! Conveniently located so its super easy to get to Townsend/Cades Cove as well as Pigeon Forge area. Driveway is easy to navigate with a nice flat parking pad up top. Lots of deck areas for relaxing. We totally enjoyed this cabin!

Bear Lodge
This was our 6th stay in Black Bear Hollow Cabins. We find everything we need in Black Bear Hollow cabins, very nice accomadations, well equiped,the amount of space we need and close but not too close to things we want to do in the Townsend area. The best way to sum up our experience is nothing is a hassle. Will we come again, yes.

Wonderful weekend getaway
My family really enjoyed getting away from the normal and spending quality time together - sitting around the fire pit, making smores, exploring the surrounding woods, playing wiffle ball in the front grass, playing pool at night, the hot tub, etc. We only left the cabin for a few additional supplies. My kids were bugging me to buy the cabin! We will return soon...

Our Stay at Black Bear Lodge

We saw a bear in the neighbor's yard and a mama turkey with babies in our yard! everything was beautiful inside and outside of the cabin. We will be back!

Great place to stay
We loved our stay at the Black Bear Lodge. It was a wonderful combination of being close to nature and yet had all the comforts of home (and then some!) Very clean, comfortable bed in master, and all the modern conveniences. The front porch on the second floor felt like we were up in the trees and where we spent most of our time. We would love to come back again in the fall with our whole family.

Great cabin for large groups
The cabin was beautiful and had more than enough space for my group of 6. We enjoyed the setting and felt secluded from nearby cabins. The location was very close to the entrance of Smokey Mountain National Park, making it great for hiking.

Home away from home!!
Everything was very clean so when I got there I was able to just relax in the hot tub & play pool. It's very close to all the attractions in Gatlinburg so we didn't have to drive very far to do everything we wanted to do. I am definitely going back next year. Thanks for everything Mr. Mark & Mrs. Debbie!!

So peaceful and beautiful
Loved our stay here, extremely romantic, quiet and peaceful. Cottage is gorgeous, we wanted for nothing at all! Everything we needed was at our fingertips. I brought our crock pot and cooked our meals each day while we were out hiking. Got home each night to a warm home cooked meal. We loved sitting in front of the fireplace, sitting outside in the hot tub, sitting outside on the front porch swing, we just loved our stay here!

"Home Away from Home"
We've lost count of the number of times that we've stayed in Black Bear Hollow. It's "our home away from home". We love the peace, serenity, & solitude that we find there. Over the years we've stayed in Bear Ridge, Bear Lodge, Bear Creek & Bear Falls and have never encountered any problems or issues. We just recently had our 4 children & spouses & our 8 grandchildren up for a family vacation in Bear Falls & Bear Lodge. They loved the spaciousness of Bear Falls for our family time together. We are already planning our family vacation to be there again next year.

Amazing cabins and wonderful owners
We couldn't have asked for better accommodations. The cabin was perfect. It was perfected located, a close drive to Pigeon Forge, yet secluded enough to offer privacy. It was exactly as promised on the website. The owners were amazing. They worked with us in every way possible to ensure we had a wonderful Christmas vacation and we couldn't be more grateful. We will certainly be making Black Bear Hollow our annual accommodation spot from now on. Mr. and Mrs. Tisch are wonderful people and offer the best cabins in the Smokies.

Great Stay!
We enjoyed staying at the Family Memories cabin! It was very roomy and had a beautiful view of the Smoky Mountains.They don't call them the Smokys' for nothing! It rained the entire time we were there except the first night, so we took advantage of the fire pit, we knew it would be the only night we could use it. We made the best of our trip despite the rain. We took the Trolley ride to see the lights, went to the Smoky Mountain National Park and it was beautiful! The rest of the time was spent shopping. Hopefully our next trip with be weather friendly! Can't wait for our next stay!

Perfect Cabin for a family!!
We (2 adults, 3 kids, 1 dog) LOVED our stay at Family Memories cabin! It was close to Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg but it was much quieter and very relaxing. I had never been through the Wears Valley area before and we loved it. We had easy access to anything we needed without enduring the heavy tourism traffic. The cabin is clean, spacious, and had everything we needed and then some! We loved the game room/pool table and of course the daily hot tub time was perfect after a long hike. The decor was tasteful and the beds are comfy. The fenced in yard was great for our dog. I would definitely stay here again if we return to the Smoky Mts, beautiful cabin! Thank you!
