We only stayed 1 out of the 3 nights we booked the cabin since the AC wasn't working. Kids likes the hot tub, although the railing was loose and the deck is reeaally high up, not to mention a ton of carpenter bees. The pool table downstairs was a lot of fun, and the bathroom was spacious, although the shower is IN the jetted tub and there's no safety bar, so not ideal for young kids or older folks afraid of falling. In comparison, the bathroom upstairs is meant for one person at a time. My 6' husband had to sit sideways just to use the toilet. There is no ceiling over the upstairs bedroom, so it's not acoustically ideal for parents wanting "adult time." My son farted downstairs and I heard it upstairs like he was right beside me, so we forwent the jacuzzi. I like a firm mattress, but this one was rock hard and made for a sleepless night. A bear walking by the cabin was the best part.There were no linens for the pull out bed, but the rental company was quick to bring some by that first night. And when we realized the AC had failed on our second night they were quick to move us to another (much nicer) cabin for the rest of our stay. I would not stay at this property again, nor recommend it to others, however the rental company was top notch and I'd go through them again. Make sure to stop by the office, they'll give you parking vouchers for downtown Gatlinburg and have a great list of nearby restaurants and grocery stores. Property: 2/10Parkside Cabin Rentals: 10/10

Cabin in smokies

It was a beautiful and quiet location. Some amenities lacked, which cause us to not be able to clean as efficiently as we would have liked. Things like Kleenex, dish soap, broom, would have been nice included in the fee. Also the carpenter bees were TERRIBLE. We couldn't walk in and out without getting swarmed!

Short and sweet

Hot tub and pull table are a big plus! Plenty of room. House is represented as it was online. This was our 2nd stay and we will definitely stay again in the future.

Overall had a great stay. Noticed a few things were very dirty. Found food on the pull out sofa, dishes were nasty, and hot tub was low on water, the back deck (very high up) the balcony ledge was VERY VERY loose.

Amazing! But…

We had an amazing time here, but the mattresses are god awful, it felt like we were sleeping on cinderblocks. The hot tub played a huge part in loosening up lol. But overall this cabin was in a great location, my family enjoyed themselves.

The cabin was okay, like w/others in the past the couch & love seat were just not comfortable at all & that's disappointing when you're there a week. Upstairs mattress very hard - hurt my back. Cabin had cob webs & just very dusty every where. Had no broom that we could find, We will be back to the mountains for sure but will not stay at this cabin. Will try out something different.

We had a great time and enjoyed our stay at the Black Bear Lodge. It was conveniently located near downtown Gatlinburg and easy driving distance from Pigeon Forge and surrounding areas. Perfect location for a family vacation in the mountains!

Nice but not perfect

I’ll start with the bad: 1. The beds are absolutely horrible. No exaggeration, but the worst mattress I’ve ever tried to sleep on. After the first day I slept on the couch. It was that bad. 2. Advertised as being 3 minutes from downtown Gatlinburg. More like 20. 3. Wi-Fi was horrible but who cares right? My daughter did but it’s not that big of an issue. Good things: Very nice cabin, awesome bathtubs and a nice hot tub. Pool table in one of the rooms. Nice and quiet. Overall a nice experience. If they had better beds it would have been 4 stars

Needs a few things

Pillows too small. Not enough storage for clothes in upstairs bedroom. Needs a dresser at least. Lots of cobwebs. Minor stuff but could be perfect with a few changes.

did not like the location. Back porch was too high for me & didn't show that online. I'm afraid of heights. No parking area. Did not like where my car sit at. Wasn't listed on the web about that. I will not pick that location ever again. I probably want be back to Gatlinburg for quite some time. Thank You!

Very beautiful cabin in the hills. We loved eating breakfast on the covered porch. Although there was a hottub we did not use it. We did use the pool table downstairs. Very nice for the money.
