Private Indoor Pool + Hot Tub · 4BR/4BA · Sleeps 10 · Minutes to Dollywood

Splash, soak, and unwind — your family's private indoor heated pool awaits, open year-round, 24 hours a day. Black Bear Lodge is the only thing standing between your crew and the best cabin weekend in the Smokies: 4 king bedrooms, 4 en-suite baths, a covered hot tub, arcade and foosball in the loft, and views of Pigeon Forge Parkway — all minutes from Dollywood, no mountain roads to navigate.

WHY FAMILIES CHOOSE BLACK BEAR LODGE
✓ Private indoor heated pool — yours alone, no pool hours
✓ Covered hot tub on the wraparound porch
✓ 4 king bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom
✓ Sleeps up to 10 (loft has a queen sleeper sofa)
✓ 5 minutes from Dollywood & Dolly Parton's Stampede
✓ Views overlooking Pigeon Forge Parkway
✓ No mountain roads — flat, easy access from the Parkway

THE SPACE
At 2,400+ sq ft across two levels, this cabin is built for groups who want space to breathe. The open-concept main floor flows from the fully equipped kitchen and dining area (seats 8) to the living room — and straight into the pool room. Walk out of the pool, towel off, and sink into the couch by the electric fireplace. This is what cabin living is supposed to feel like.

Upstairs, the open loft has a multi-game arcade cabinet, foosball table, and large-screen TV — a great spot for kids and adults to hang out between pool sessions. Two more king bedrooms are on this level.

SLEEP
All 4 bedrooms feature king-size beds and private en-suite bathrooms. No bunk beds. No shared bathrooms. Just quiet, comfortable sleep after big days in the Smokies.

THE LOCATION
Heritage Hill is the sweet spot of Pigeon Forge — elevated enough for views and privacy, flat enough for easy access. You're:
• 10 min walk to Dolly Parton's Stampede
• 10 min drive to Dollywood
• 20 min walk to Old Mill
• 20 min to Gatlinburg
• 30 min to GSMNP entrance

No mountain roads to navigate — just a short, flat drive from the Parkway.

PERFECT FOR CELEBRATIONS
Planning a birthday weekend, family reunion, anniversary trip, or girls' getaway? Black Bear Lodge is built for groups who want to be together — with enough space (and enough bathrooms) that nobody feels cramped. The pool, hot tub, and loft entertainment area mean you never need to leave the cabin unless you want to.

Convenient to parkway

Enjoyed our stay. Four couples had 4 king bedrooms each with their own bath. Had to pull up a couple chairs in living room to have enough seating for eight people. Enjoyed the hot tub. Could use some new pillows on bedding. Very convenient to parkway. It snowed during our trip so didn’t have to worry about steep roads. Would stay again.

Pigeon Forge Getaway

This cabin is wonderful. There was plenty of room for everyone. The kitchen is well stocked. There is a bathroom in each room. The pool and hot tub were very popular. I was a little concerned about the location so close to the Main Road, but it was perfect. We were close to everything and easy to get back to the cabin. You can’t go wrong with this cabin. Matthew was very attentive and responded quickly when we had a question.

Our family had the most incredible stay at Black Bear Lodge! From the moment we arrived, we could tell this was going to be something special. The cabin is absolutely stunning — spacious, spotless, and beautifully decorated with warm mountain charm and modern touches.The location couldn’t be better. It’s tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and private, yet it’s only minutes from all the best attractions in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. We loved being so close to Dollywood, The Island, and the Great Smoky Mountains National Park — we could explore all day and then come “home” to total comfort.Inside, the cabin has everything you could possibly want. Each bedroom was like a private suite — all with king beds, their own bathrooms, and smart TVs. The open-concept living area was perfect for spending time together — we cooked meals in the fully stocked kitchen (the granite countertops and stainless appliances were a nice touch), gathered around the fireplace in the evenings, and just enjoyed the cozy atmosphere.The indoor heated pool was a huge hit with the kids (and honestly, the adults too!). We spent hours swimming, even when it rained, and then relaxed in the outdoor hot tub under the covered deck while taking in the mountain air. The game room upstairs kept everyone entertained — between the arcade, foosball, and big TV, we barely needed to leave the cabin some days!We also loved the thoughtful details — plenty of towels, comfortable beds, strong Wi-Fi, and easy p

Fantastic Family Fun

Wonderful property located just off the parkway and so convenient to everything (which is what we wanted; we could not hear traffic - very quiet). Super clean and rooms/space was perfect for 8 adults and 2 children. Everyone having their own bathroom was a huge plus. Furniture was very comfortable, plenty of seating, and the kitchen had everything you could need. Pool and hot tub got lots of use. Plenty of room to park 3 large vehicles easily. Enjoyed the wrap around porch and rocking chairs. Matthew was very responsive. Highly recommend!!!!

Cabin was a highlight of the trip

The cabin is exactly as pictured. Very clean and spacious. It was a so nice that everyone could have their own king bed and bathroom. The kids loved playing in the hot tub. We were there when the weather was in the 50s and they thought the pool was a little too cold to get in (probably b/c they had been in the hot tub first). Communication with the host was excellent - he was quick to respond when we asked him a question about the hot tub. The cabin is RIGHT OFF the main strip of Pigeon Forge. So on the upside, close to a lot of stuff but also means you have to be on that crazy busy road to get anywhere (tip...don't try to turn left!) Even though it's near a busy road, you do feel a little bit of privacy up on top of the hill where the cabin sits. All in all, a great place. Not sure we'd choose to come back to Pigeon Forge for a vacation - too busy for us - but if we did, we'd be happy to stay at this cabin again.

Family Post Christmas Celebration

Spent a few days at the cabin with family after Christmas. One daughter came from Houston, TX with her six year old son. Another daughter came with 13 year old son. They loved the cabin, the game room, the pool and the hot tub. It was a great experience. When we arrived after check-in, the cleaning staff had started oven cleaning process and it was not finished. We cleared the process and it took a long time to cool down so we could use the oven. We were going to use the grill but there was not gas. We bought a tank; but were reimbursed for the cost after speaking with Matthew. Also had to buy dishwashing detergent which was ok. Cleaning staff just need to make sure those items are stocked or make you aware you need to purchase them before stay. These are the reasons I did not give 5 stars for cleaning.
