Everything was exactly as described. We had everything we needed and more. Owners responded to question in a fast and professional manner. Would absolutely recommend to friends and family.

Bear Lodge has become our home away from home. We booked last minute after a busy year and I am sure glad we did. There is no better place to us to go relax and enjoy the peaceful, beautiful landscape of the Smokey Mountains. This was our 11th stay at these cabins and we have already booked our next stay at Bear Lodge for the kid’s spring break. Can’t wait to get back.

What a wonderful cabin. We had a family vacation. The cabin is a great setup with King beds on every floor. The basement was perfect for my family. The fireplace was cozy and the couches very comfortable. The cabin is only 20 minutes from Pigeon Forge and 35 from Gatlinburg. The views are breathtaking on the way to anywhere!

The Bear Falls Cabin was a great place for our group to gather. It had everything we needed and more! It was very clean and true to photos of the property. The hot tub was perfect in the rainy/cold weather.

We loved our stay at Simpy Golden! On October 10th, hurricane Michael swept through our county leaving behind it, very few trees and piles, and piles of debris and blue tarped roofs. Luckily, last January, we put a deposit on a cabin in Tennessee for a Christmas get away for the entire family. Little did we know, how much we would need the break. The cabin was spectacular, the view stunning, and the location central to any place we wanted to go (My grandson did not want to come home - 4 years old). We highly recommend Smoky Mountain Secluded Cabin / Simply Golden.

We are so grateful we had a chance to stay at this wonderful cabin. It was our first big family vacation and we absolutely loved it. The cabin was everything we could ask for and more. The living room was absolutely wonderful and we spent lots of time there putting together one of the puzzles we found tucked away in the drawer. We also appreciated the Christmas decorations - it made things nice and cozy. We loved having the hot tub and it was so nice to sit and soak after a long day of hiking in the Smokies. Our 10 year old daughter was a big fan of the air hockey table! The kitchen & outdoor grill had everything we needed and we loved sitting around the table together to enjoy some great food with great company. The location was perfect with just a short drive to Townsend or Pigeon Forge. We enjoyed lots of local activities and couldn't ask for a better place to stay. Your family was so welcoming to us and helpful both prior to and during our stay, and we thank you so much for that. It's great to have that personal touch. We're already looking forward to booking our next stay with you.

Our 2018 Christmas vacation at Golden View Lodge was awesome!! We had a wonderful week with family and friends. Thank you Donn and Margeret for sharing your beautiful cabin with us. We are already making plans for a return visit in 2019.

I had a great stay at the Golden Memories cabin. I'm even homesick for it. The views, the song birds in the morning while drinking coffee, the cows mooing through the valley, the comfy warmth in front of the fire. I miss it all now that I'm back home. I've never in such a magical place before. Also, Jerry is great. I had an issue with something and Jerry called me back to help me it. I'm a beginner when it comes to hot tubs and he walked me through it on the phone after 9pm. I felt horrible to have to disturb him so late but he assured me it was not a problem. What great customer service. I'll definitely be back. Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful place.

From the moment we got there we knew we picked the right place to stay. The views were spectacular and the rooms we spacious and comfy. We enjoyed our time in the jucuzzi and playing pool. All in all we loved it and can’t wait to return.

The "Bear Falls" cabin in Black Bear Hollow is our favorite place for our family to gather for our THANKSMAS Holiday every year. We've been celebrating in this cabin for the last several years, and also have utilized other cabins in black Bear Hollow our anniversary & other getaway occasions. We rate all the cabins in Black Bear Hollow FIVE Stars in every category.

We just had a fantastic trip! It was just what we needed-family time to laugh and have fun. We got snowed in and Donn came up to check on us and help any way he could. We were very appreciative and hope to stay again real soon!!!

This a great cabin for a large family. If you like privacy, but still be close enough to the main attractions, then this cabin is perfect. The view is awesome. The cabin was clean and very attractive. We would love to stay here again.

Our family of 10 had a wonderful stay at Golden View Lodge. This cabin was VERY CLEAN, spacious, comfortable and well equipped with everything that we needed. Views of the mountains were beautiful !! The drive up was steep but manageable. The owners Donn & Margaret Tisch were wonderful to work with. They were very thorough and responded very quick with any questions or concerns that we had. I would highly recommend staying at this cabin. We hope to return very soon.

Loved the view, the fire pit and the cabin. Highly recommend.

We planned a long weekend trip for 6 adults so we could ride our motorcycles through the area. The cabin was clean and provided a great place to relax with plenty of parking for everyone. Will definitely plan a trip with the Tisch hosts again.

We stayed for a week in November in Simply Golden Cabin! We did not want to leave! Everything was clean and was more than we expected! The decor was perfect and furniture so comfortable. A beautiful view to wake to each day, we spent a lot of time in the cabin due to rainy weather but didn’t mind s but because just being there was awesome! Cannot day enough good things shout out stay!

Beautiful cabin, high up on the mountain where it is private and peaceful. Very comfortable beds, relaxing hot tub, pool table and plenty of room.

Best place I’ve ever stayed in the Smokies. Beautiful views, clean cabin, easy access just a very warm comfortable place. Thanks for sharing your cabin. Loved it.

We had an amazing stay at your cabin!! I stayed at Bear Falls last Dec ('17) with my cousins and I knew Bear Hollow would be my destination for future visits. The Lodge was cozy, peaceful and serene. I brought my mom and pup. It was his first vacation and he did so well! I love everything about this location and I will for sure use y'all again. The owners, Jerry and Nikki are prompt with responding to any questions and truly feel like longtime friends. Thank you for the beautiful, relaxing getaway !!

What a beautiful cabin clean and the view of the mountains was spectacular,thank you for a memorial weekend.

We Came for the friends. Weather wasn’t the greatest so it was nice to have a Cabin with lists of room and things to do. Games, pool table, fooseball, Bonfire at night was nice.

My husband and I witnessed the mountains of Wears Valley come alive with golds and reds! What a fabulous view we had from Simply Golden cabin!! The comfort and convenience of this cabin are well worth the travel time from Mississippi! We have stayed at other cabins over the years, but we think Simply Golden is our favorite. Donn, I sure hope we can stay there again next year!

I really enjoyed my stay . The owners were very nice. The cabin was clean . The cabin was romantic and secluded . The view was beautiful.

This is our second time staying in this cabin. With 6 bedrooms and 5 baths, it is the perfect size for a gathering of family or friends. The cabin is situated on top of a hill, so it is private and has a wrap-around porch with stellar views. Clean, well-cared for and spacious, this cabin is a perfect spot anyone wanting to enjoy the mountains!

We had a great time.The house was very nice we would stay there agin.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cabin was a great place for extended family, and nicely furnished. The great room and kitchen were very comfortable with seating for everyone, making it easy to visit and enjoy the natural setting. All bedrooms were nice with comfortable beds, too! We would definitely recommend this place!

This vacation was my husband and I second visit. Our first was for our second Anniversary we enjoyed it so much that we had to bring family for my birthday. They loved how clean and beautiful the cabin was,and how beautiful the scenery was. It definitely was an amazing experience for us all. We all agreed we didn't have enough time to do all we wanted so we HAVE to plan another visit. Thanks so much for our family memories.

Our second time to stay at this great cabin. Love the view and the location. Hope to be back soon. The cabin is very clean and was stocked with everything we needed. Works well for a handicapped person.

Our family group of six had a wonderful week at the Bear Lodge. We enjoyed exploring the area around the cabin and also the Cades Cove area. The wildlife was quite enjoyable with a small flock of five turkeys in our front yard one morning. They (the turkeys) seemed to enjoy the "drone" company as well and my son got some neat pictures. We dined, shopped, and fly fished in Gatlinburg, Pidgeon Forge, and Sevierville. A very fun and relaxing vacation. Thanks for the wonderful accommodations! The Cooks, Campbells, Paces, Pitchers, and Heuseveldts

One of the most relaxing, peaceful vacations we have had. My wife and I loved the open clean cabin with spectacular views of The mountains. Tucked away in a great area, the cabin is close to many attractions and some great hiking. We really loved our stay and would like to come back for a winter getaway. Thanks

My children, grandchildren and I stayed in Simply Golden. The view is amazing!!! The cabin is beautiful and very roomy and comfortable. We enjoyed cooking together and eating at the large table. I would love to come back for another stay, very relaxing and homey.....

My friends and I very much enjoyed staying in this cabin. It was beautiful with a lot of space and very clean. With the covered decks, we could sit outside and enjoy the views even when it rained. There were a few issues, but the owners were very responsive. I would definitely reserve this cabin again.

This cabin is in an excellent location. Quiet and quaint and still close to all of the places we wanted to experience. Clean with great mountain view. This has been our 2nd year in a row that we have stayed. Definitely will be back

My husband and I were married at this cabin in September of 2017 and we just returned for our first anniversary. This cabin is very simplistic with the open floor plan, but modern enough to keep it cozy and comfortable. We love the location and intend to stay again!

The view from the cabin is incredible The cabin was beautiful and nice and clean everything we needed pots and pans it was all there We had a great time

This was the best experience I have had in a long time. Very relaxing cabin was very spacious. Actually ended up being more room than expected. Will definitely return with my family.

We had a n awesome time! Beautiful, clean home! Very spacious and good location!!

My family had a great time at the rental over the weekend. The stay was really not long enough and we plan on renting from you again in the future. The mountain views were really beautiful and relaxing. The cabin was very clean and a lot larger than I realized which was good so the family could stretch out. I have left a 5 star rating on VRBO website for this rental. Thank you again for a great rental experience

It was our 4th year staying in your cabin and as always a wonderful time! The house is always clean and well maintained. We appreciate the updates you seem to do every year. Will definitely stay again.

Great Cabin on a great little road.no TRAFFIC/Noise! But still close to everything. EASY access to PF
