memories
One more time, we have stayed at Black Bear Hollow & made wonderful, new memories to cherish! The cabin is great, & in looking back over the years & stays with you, we think the cabin on the hill behind Bear Cave is the only one (including the 2 in Fawn Hollow) that we have not stayed in. Looking forward to the next time, & always thankful for the "divine appointment" that brought us to your website some 12 years ago.

Very Nice!!!
Couldn't ask for a nicer location or cabin. It was perfect! Clean, comfortable bed, air hockey, pool table, bags, jaccuzzi, gas grill, wifi, whirlpool. Mark and Debbie were great hosts and easy to talk to and work with.

A Wonderful Week
We had a great stay at Bear Mountain. The cabin was beautiful and we enjoyed the pool table. The rocking chairs on the porch were perfect after a day of hiking or running around town. They were also super for morning devotional/Bible reading. We had our two sons and our younger son's wife with us. Everyone had privacy and yet we were all together. It was a great family time!

Well worth it
I typically don't write reviews, so I'll keep this short and sweet. First and foremost, this cabin was well worth the money and time spent within. Compared to competitors, you're getting a great deal. The space was roomy, well taken care of, and in a very quiet, serene location. I actually got to see a nice group of turkey cross by every morning... It's a great cabin and beautiful area.

Black Bear Cave
I have stayed at Black Bear Hollow Cabins twice this year. The owners are very nice and easy to work with. The cabins are secluded and offer everything you might need while on vacation plus extras you might not even think about. My family enjoys spending time in the Great Smoky Mtns, but Black Bear Hollow is so nice that both times we have stayed there we have not wanted to leave our cabin. I highly recommend staying at Black Bear Hollow.

Relaxing, Peaceful
My husband and I absolutely enjoyed every minute spent at Bear Cave cabin.........from the furnishings to the hot tub. We spent many hours rocking on the porch enjoying the scenery around us. Our only regret was that we couldn't stay longer! We will definitely be returning to this little piece of heaven.

Bear Mountain Cabin FIVE STARS!!!
Had a great 2-night stay at Bear Mtn. Cabin was clean, comfortable & well-appointed. Loved the decor and the porch swing & rocking chairs were my favorite for enjoying morning coffee. We'll be back! :)

Peaceful Cabin
We all enjoyed our stay at the Bear Ridge very much. The cabin is a one level which I was looking for and had everything we needed. We enjoyed sitting on the front and back porches just talking and we ate out on the back porch a couple of times,it was perfect. We love going to Cades Cove and we got up every morning early to go and it didn't take us long at all the cabin is in a great location. We saw bears, deer and turkeys in Cades Cove and when we got back we had several walking in the yard by the cabin. Thank You for a wonderful place to stay!

Great Fall Vacation
Black Bear Hollow Cabins is the only cabins my family has stayed at for the last 8!years. Every cabin is well cared for and the owners are amazing. I've stayed in the majority of the choices of cabins and have never been disappointed. This stay was no exception, everything was great!

Foxes in the Woods
No, we didn't see any foxes, but since our last name is Fox, we were "Foxes in the Woods" and loved every minute at the Bear Cave. It was the perfect place for the two of us and allowed us a quiet and comfortable place to unwind and enjoy the fall colors in the Smoky Mountains. The location was perfect for visiting Cades Cove and for exploring several of the trails near by. We hope to come back again and enjoy God's creation.

No better cabins ANYWHERE!!!
This was our third time to stay at Black Bear Hollow Cabins and it NEVER disappoints! There are other places to stay mountainside that are closer to where we live but we will continue to make the trek to Townsend Tennessee because of the uniqueness of Black Bear Hollow. We love the fact that its gated and the cabins are extremely private, yet minutes from town. Many other places feel overcrowded with cabins stacked one after another, whereas Black Bear Hollow feels like we have the mountain all to ourselves! The views, amenities, and cleanliness are topnotch. From the first time I spoke with Mark over the phone 3 years ago, I felt our comfort and satisfaction were important. Because of this, we chose to try the cabins, and now, well, no need to ever stay anywhere else! See you in 2016 Black Bear Hollow!

Bear Ridge getaway
Thanks so much for the use of your cabin, Bear Ridge! It was the perfect house for my brother and I. He was planning on just a weekend in the mountains by himself but I told him I wanted to come so we rented this cabin. We had an enjoyable stay and everything was just perfect! Once again, thanks for the use of this fine cabin!

Peaceful and private, we loved it!
We truly enjoyed our recent stay in your lovely cabin, Bear Creek. The location is serene and beautiful, it was wonderful to just sit in the swing or rockers and soak in the beautiful view and watch the falling leaves. I love the black bear décor, and all of the details that made the cabin a home away from home. We grilled steaks on the deck one night, and everything we needed was right there at hand. We enjoyed the restaurants and shops nearby as well. The beds are super comfortable, and everything was sparkling clean! We usually camp when we come to the Smokies, but I think we'll make it a tradition at least once a year to stay in one of your cabins for a totally relaxing retreat, and we look forward to having other family members join us there! Thanks for the hospitality!

Love Black Bear Hollow Rentals!
We have been renting cabins in the Smokies for about 12 years. A few years ago we found Black Bear Hollow Cabins. Always clean and well maintained. if there is any issue, they respond very quickly. We will keep returning

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!

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.

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.
