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.

We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful home! The hosts were incredibly kind, friendly, and quick to respond when we had a question, which made everything feel smooth and stress-free. The house is exactly as described on VRBO — if anything, even better in person.The home was spotless and clearly very well cared for. Everything was thoughtfully labeled, the TVs were easy to use, and the layout was perfect for a family gathering. We loved how comfortable and welcoming it felt.The location is fantastic — so close to Dollywood and other attractions, yet still peaceful and relaxing. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better place to stay.10/10 — super clean, great location, and we would absolutely stay here again!

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

Amazing stay!

We had a great time at this cabin! It was perfect for my family of 8 adults/teens! Would have been comfortable with a few more people - there was plenty of room with the pull out sofas. Location was fantastic - easy on and off the parkway. House was beautiful and the pool and hot tube were a huge hit! We loved having bathrooms for each bedroom - such a great feature with so many in the house. Would 100% recommend this cabin to friends and family.

Everything we were looking for and more

Grandparents (late 60’s), parents (mid 40’s) and children 7 and 11. Perfect accommodations for all. The elderly claimed the first level bedroom suites and the upstairs was perfect for everyone else. The cabin was very spacious and well equipped. Everyone enjoyed the pool and hot tub. Watching the grandchildren splash around in the pool was my favorite part. The location was amazing, centrally located to all the major attractions both in Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg. Last but not least, I would be very remiss if I didn’t mention how accommodating the hosts were. Thank you for making our stay awesome!
