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.

Highly recommended. We spent our anniversary here and will definitely be back!! The hot tub was amazing and the beds were extremely comfortable.

We had an amazing trip, and truly enjoyed the stay at this cabin. Everything you need is there as well as things you didn't think of. We love the location and all around atmosphere. We felt safe having the gated entrance. The cabin is kept clean and cozy. Will be coming again soon for another stay :) Thanks Again and Gob Bless!

My wife and I stayed at Bear Creek as a surprise for her 61st Birthday. The cabin was fantastic and what a great location, close to everything but far enough away for peace and quite. We saw Turkeys and a coyote from the cabin. In Cades Cove we saw lots of Deer and the hike to Abrahams Falls was great. Really enjoyed the Hot Tub and just relaxing on the front porch. Hope to return with our Boy's and there families in the future.

We love the Townsend area so much. We were so lucky to find Black Bear Hollow Cabins, the cabins are very nice and clean but most of all the owners are the most caring and kindest people you will ever find, they make you feel like your family. Take our advice try them you will never be disappointed they are perfect!

My wife and I loved the cabin and the views. The cabin was exceptionally clean and very comfortable.

Over the past five years we have stayed in several of the cabins. We come up once to twice a year and always stay at Black Bear Hollow. Always nice and clean. Just a lil piece of heaven in the mountains:)

We stayed at Black Bear Ridge and thoroughly enjoyed the cabin. The location was great, near Cades Cove. The cabin itself was very clean and well kept. I personally loved the appointments in regards to the furniture and décor. Everything we needed was provided so that it felt like home when we were there. We would definitely stay in the same cabin again. Thanks.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at black bear cabins. The cabin we had was clean and very pleasantly decorated. We liked the layout and the amenities. The keyless system made it very convenient for arriving and coming and going without a problem. I regret that we did not get a chance to meet the owners or anyone else at the property. We had come to hike and that's what we did. ..a lot! The hot tub was very welcome at the end of the day. The location was perfect. Secluded, yet close to town and great hiking trails. I would definitely use this facility again. Thank you for a great experience.

These are some of the best cabins at the best prices we have found. Secluded and they have everything you need except the food. The owners are very nice people too. The only cabins we stay at when we are in the Smokies.

We recently enjoyed another relaxing, long weekend at Black Bear Hollow. As always we found the cabin clean and well-maintained. Recent paving of the lane up the hollow made access even easier. This is a great location, quiet and peaceful yet an easy drive to shops and the park. Already checking the calendar for another visit.

My husband and I rented the Black Bear Creek cabin for our anniversary. We fell in love with the cabin and the little town of Townsend. The cabin was just as it appeared in the pictures on the website. The cabin was very clean and decorated so delitefully. I loved all of the bear decor and rustic looking furniture. We really enjoyed the hot tub and the remoteness of the cabins. We will definately be returning as soon as we can. Thanks so much for an enjoyable stay!

My first trip to Tennessee and it was amazing. The cabin was absolutely beautiful, I really had a wonderful time. I will definitely be returning next year.

My wife and I usually do a getaway in May for our anniversary-31 yrs now. This year we just wanted something quiet in the mountains. We love Gatlinburg and like to stay outside town, so this was perfect. First of all the cabin was very clean. That is always at the top of my list. The king bed was very comfortable, the rocking chairs on the porch were nice for reading and the TV was great. The kitchen was suitable and we brought all our groceries. Check in was no hassle. All you need is your entry code and you are there. No complaints. Hope to come back.

We enjoyed the cabin. It met all of our needs.

My husband and I enjoyed our recent stay at the Bear Cave cabin. Upon our arrival we found the cabin clean and cozy. Loved the cabin décor, bears everywhere. The furniture and the bed was comfortable. The shower was roomy and water pressure great. The covered porch was a nice place to sit and relax. It was nice to come "home" to the cabin after a day in the park instead of a hotel room. Cooked on the grill often (bought some ribeye steaks at the grocery and was our best dinner of the trip.) Loved that it was so close to Cades Cove and the shortcut to Gatlinburg was easy enough. I would highly recommend Black Bear Hollow Cabin rentals and will book with you again next time we visit GSMNP in the future. It was a fantastic vacation!

We loved our stay at Bear Mountain. Great cabin with nice amenities and privacy. we hope to come back again next year!

We spent the weekend at Black Bear Ridge Cabin. We really enjoyed it! Cabin was very nice and very clean. It was far enough out for peace and privacy yet close enough to be convenient to anywhere you would like to go in area. It is very convenient to Cades Cove, which we love! We will be back! Thanks for sharing your cabin!!

We only stayed a weekend for our anniversary, but we so enjoyed the quiet time. The cabin was clean, loved the covered porch & swing. We will be visiting again.

Arrived late, and found the cabin spotless! It was everything we had hoped for. The decor was beautiful and fit with the mountains! After enjoying the hot tub, the hiking, and the area we will be back. We left feeling completely renewed and at peace. the owners are very nice, and assisted in our plans as though we were old friends.

We have stayed at several of the cabins in Black Bear Hollow over the past ten years. Most recently we stayed at Bear Creek. Cabin was well equipped. We came in late and luv the ability to go straight to the cabin. Easy to find and centrally located. We have never had any issues. Getting ready to plan our Oct visit. Give them a try!!! Saw three bears Cades Cove.

We loved our stay at the cabin over the past weekend the cabin was very clean cozy we loved the hot tub and grilling we will be staying again very soon

Once we went through the gated entry we were very surprised that the road was paved all the way to the cabin. Not a big thing but I have had rougher drives. The cabin was great and a lot of it had been remodeled. The cabin was large and spacious. The appliances were new and up to date. The location was great, as I am a photographer and traveling to Cades Cove and was not at all a bad drive. This area is great for staying on the Peaceful side of the Smokies.

Mark and debbie were great to us...called a few times before we rented the cabin with questions and they were always there ready to answer...first off the cabin was amazing,very clean and done up nicely,we stayed pretty busy but enjoyed the hot tub and the views every night....a very comfy and cozy cabin with everything you need for your stay.....we will be back again for sure....the kids will come next time so will be renting a bigger cabin for sure....thanks again mark and debbie for our wonderful stay

Our stay at Black bear hollow cabins was wonderful as always We have stay there a few times in different cabins ,They are always very clean ,well maintained,have everything you need ..Love how is a private gated community makes you feel safe ..But best of all it has the best website so easy to navigate and book on line is a snap.

My family and I recently stayed at Bear Mountain and had a very relaxing time at the cabin and Townsend area. We really appreciated the secluded setting of Bear Mountain and the friendly staff that made out trip worry free. We look forward to returning in the future.

We and our friends had a wonderful time at the cabins. The cabin was attractive, clean, easy to get to and very comfortable. The location was great, very close to the Pigeon Forge Gatlinburg area with all the tourist places to go. But was still close enough to the Smoky Mountains. You can be as busy as you want with shows, shopping, eating, rides and Dolly World or you can put your feet up and totally relax. Plus we found the people in the area to be friendly and hospitable. It is a great place to bring the grandkids. We are already making plans to return next summer with the WHOLE family. And did I mention so many places to eat and eat and eat. This was the best vacation my husband and I have had in many years

We have been staying at Black Bear Hollow for 15 years. We have made many memories here. We have stayed at every cabin in the hollow at some point. Bear Creek is our favorite but all of the cabins are awesome. The cabins are immaculate. The hollow offers the peaceful setting that we need. My kids are almost grown now and have been coming here since they can remember. They still ask to come to Mr. Mark's cabins. It is a great family retreat!! See yall Soon!!!

We have stayed at Black Bear Hollow twice now and have had a great experience both times. The last time we had a miscommunication and ended up in the wrong cabin and Mark was extremely quick and responsive to remedy the situation. We will definitely be back. Not only because of the cabins but because they are great people to work with which is hard to find.

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Cave. A home away from home. The cabin met all our needs and was clean and comfy. The beauty of God's creation in this setting surrounded by the mountains is awesome. There is plenty to see and do or just relax with a cup of coffee on the front porch and enjoy the peace and quite away from the busyness and chaos of everday life. The one way drive through Cades Cove in Smoky Mountain National Park is worth the time. There are plenty of pull-over spots and parking areas to admire the Great Smoky Mountains. Also take the hike to Abrams Falls in Cades Cove. It's a lengthy hike but not challenging. The path and terrain is up and down with roots and rocks. Very scenic along the river with wildlife sightings. Swimming with caution is allowed at the Falls. Also a drive through Foothills Parkway with less congestion for more breathtaking views is a bonus. We would stay here again on a return visit to Tennessee.

My husband and I stayed here during the first week of June. The place was just perfect. We brought our own groceries for the week in order to cook there at the cabin. Everything was clean and in great working order. We definitely loved this cabin and will be back. My husband is a photographer. This photo was taken near Cades Cove during our stay at the Bear Mountain cabin. https://flic.kr/p/u8oQJA

We have rented from Black Bear Hollow at least 5 times, and we are never disappointed. We will continue to return here as long as possible. We have stayed in 4 different cabins and all of them were very comfortable and accommodating.

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.

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.

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!

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.

The cabin was beautiful!!! We enjoyed our stay and will return for another visit. The cabin had everything needed and love the hot tub!! Thank you for the accommodations and we will be telling others of the. Beautiful cabin!!

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.

Loved the location, front and back porch, place was so clean, nicely decorated, all the extras that make it a home away from home. We will be back!! Thank you for making our vacation such a pleasant one :)

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.
