Black Bear Retreat • 2Bed 2Bath Cabin • Peaceful Retreat

The place was very clean and a great layout. Everything you need from the kitchen, to laundry, to entertainment is included. The hot tub was great and the bike path was a nice proximity. Location was great for accessing the park, Gaitlinburg, etc but quiet and away from the touristy areas.

Everything was as advertised... Great location.. Have stayed in the same cabin last year...

It was a excellent place to stay. My kids enjoyed the place as well. My daughter enjoyed the hot tub. The place checked all the boxes. It is in a great location in Townsend, Tennessee. I would definitely try to book this cabin again in the future.

Wonderful stay! Would recommend this place to everyone!

Cabin is in a great location. It is well stocked, clean, and very roomy. Our hosts were very easy to communicate with and were very welcoming. Definitely a place we will stay again.

Had a wonderful trip! The cabin was so nice and clean! Had everything we needed. The owners communication skills are outstanding, provided all the information that we needed for our stay prior to arrival. They also messaged us to make sure we had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend!

Hosts were extremely welcoming and very easy to communicate with. The house was far better than I expected (reading past reviews). We would come back here anytime.

Very clean and comfortable. I have stayed here before and would stay here again.

Everything was excellent

The property was beautiful and the host was perfect! Great stay!

The cabin was perfect for our family. It had everything we needed.It's right in town close to everything.When we arrived the host had the lights and heater on for us. It was warm and cozy. The beds were comfortable plenty of blankets. It was very clean.Jared and Molly we're very responsive when I had questions. The check-in was so easy. I would definitely stay here again.

Wonderful wonderful wonderful! This cabin is fantastic. The host's have excellent communication. The cabin is in the perfect location. It is very clean, has everything you will want. I do not have anything bad to say about it. We will definately book again 100%!

Everything was perfect. Absolutely no complaints easy to get to. I will say that the downstairs area was a lot bigger than when I thought it was gonna be. It’s almost like having a small little apartment down there. It’s nice too because there’s a gas station/small grocery store almost across the street but I would definitely stay there again.

Everything was furnished just as they listed. Ideal place to stay. Did see a black bear saunter across in front of the cabin one night. We would definitely recommend this.

We had such a great time in this cozy cabin. The layout was really nice and made for an enjoyable time together. The hot tub was a great addition. The proximity to the bike path was perfect and made it easy to take short rides to the various local businesses nearby. Hosts were accessible and kind. This was our first time in Townsend and now we are huge fans- we prefer the Peaceful Side of the Smokys.

It was wonderful! Everything made easy

We especially enjoyed the location of Black Bear Retreat because of the close location to the bike/walking path. Very convenient to restaurants & Cades Cove entrance. The cabin was very clean & well equipped. We had a wonderful stay!

excellent place I highly recommend it. The owners are amazing. It’s located in a wonderful spot. Very convenient too. The quiet side of the mountain. Very well stocked very clean! Plenty of space! we will absolutely rent from them again. It’s a hidden gem!

We loved our stay at the Black Bear cabin. It is very clean and the perfect location for visiting the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. We will definitely stay here again.

Very nice cabin and enjoyable stay. We will book again on our next adventure to Townsend.

We loved the cabin. Cabin had a lot of amenities & a perfect location to everything. City of Townsend is so nice. Lots of things to see there. So close to the Smoky Mountains Park.

Very disappointed that there was no TV in basement. Had to go purchase one for our stay. Also I felt like we were being watched and heard at the house. When you texted about driving on the property, we had just discussed this issue about one of our family members who had a disability due to a catastrophic injury and how to get him into the house. You had to have heard our conversation to be able to respond to me as quickly as you did, about not driving on the property, which of course we did not.

The cabin was conveniently located to our daughter’s wedding venue. The cabin was extremely roomy, clean, and new. We loved our stay and would definitely stay there again.

Everything about our stay here was perfect. The house was incredibly clean, well stocked, and communication with the hosts was excellent. The hot tub was a huge plus as well! Highly recommend!!

Had a great 3 night stay here for spring break. It is in a wonderful location in Townsend just off the main road but still super quiet. The layout is nice with the 3 bedroom areas all separated. It was impeccably clean. We will certainly be back.

The property and location was great. The only downside was it needed a TV in the downstairs bedroom suite.

Treated very nice and the owner kept in touch.

This cabin is very clean and comfortable! The walkng/bike trail is almost in your front yard. You can easily walk to resturants and shops. Very close to the Smoky Mountain Park entrance. Close to lots of hiking trailheads and the Cades Cove area.

Property was larger than expected. We had fun hiking, hot tubing, doing yoga, running and eating out. Everything was close and the cabin was easy to find.

Exactly what I was looking for, and very well equipped kitchen. Super clean and great location.

Very nice and spacious. Would stay there again.

Property was easy to find, and convenient to everything; including entertainment, National Park, restaurants, shopping and Knoxville. Jared and Molly were the best. We were in contact before, during and after our stay. Our granddaughters loved the hot tub. Got in to relax everyday after Theme Parks, touring and antiquing. Our family enjoyed a wonderful Christmas morning, and a Christmas dinner at our daughters home in Maryville about 20 miles away.

We stayed here for the week of my brother’s wedding in Townsend. I cannot recommend this property enough. The hosts were always checking in to see if we were comfortable or needed anything. The property is very clean and home-like feeling. My family & I would 100% stay here again.

Cabin was in close proximity to Cades Cove and some great restaurants/pubs, all within a mile or two or less! Hot tub was very clean, and the kitchen had everything we needed and more. Cabin is clean and in great shape. Recommend.

Great place to stay. It was very clean. Will definitely go back.

Cute cabin and clean. Easy access and check out .

We loved every minute of our 7 day stay. The cabin was well stocked, well equipped, and very comfortable.

Met up with family in Townsend. They were at a campground very close to the cabin. We had a wonderful stay and needed nothing but groceries and personal items. Very comfortable and cozy. Highly recommend this location as it is close to Cades Cove, Gatlinburg and Pigeon Forge. IGA grocery store and restaurants close by if needed. We hope to return in April 2025.

Perfectly clean. Great location. Easy check in and out.
