This is an awesome place. Can’t wait to go back.

This place was great. It's an awesome place to get away. Definitely a peaceful break from the ordinary. Our dog enjoyed it, as well -- he was obsessed with watching the horses in the field next to the cabin. The host is extremely knowledgeable about the area and answers questions to steer you in the right direction with things like fishing spots and guides. Thanks so much for sharing this corner of the world.

Our stay at this unique cabin was ideal. It was decorated beautifully including a gorgeous XMas tree. The property was located in a convenient area and easy to get to. Mike is the best host we have dealt with on this site. He was thoughtful and very informative. We would look forward to returning.

Small but cozy and comfortable. Nicely decorated for Christmas!

Absolutely enjoyed our stay. Cabin has everything needed for an enjoyable mountain getaway. Went for fall foliage and was beautiful. Would go agsin

The cabin was gorgeous along with the pond . Mike was amazing to deal with and very informative on things to do in the area along with being very personable to talk to. If you are in the area and need a place to stay I highly recommend this cabin

Great place, fantastic area. Highly recommend

5++++ I am obsessed with this cabin! When we pulled up on the property, I told my husband “they are going to have to evict me - I’m not going home”. Then we went inside. Oh my gosh. The pictures do not do it justice. The decor is incredible and makes this perfect mountain cabin even more perfect. We were greeted with soft music playing and the electric fireplace glowing. There is nothing more relaxing than sitting in the rocking chairs on the porch overlooking the pond and fountain. There are gates on the porch so your children or pets can’t roam off. I enjoyed watching the fish feed daily in the pond when the feeder went off. Added bonus #1 - the cabin is in the middle of a horse farm. We enjoyed watching the children that were taking riding lessons. All of the horses were so sweet and calm, and beautiful! Added bonus #2 - we were able to bring our Basset Hound with us, and she had plenty of room to roam. She wasn’t sure about the horses - she had never seen one before. She liked them as long as they didn’t pay her any attention. She took off running if they came to the fence to see her! Most important added bonus - your host, Mike. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a wonderful stay. He is very easy to get in touch with and extremely helpful with information and suggestions about the area. He even hooked us up with a fishing guide for a float trip down the river. If you are visiting the area, do not miss the opportunity to experience this amazing property.

Couldnt ask for a nicer cabin and a better host mike is great and your stay is guaranteed to be nice and relaxing. The cabin and pond make for an amazing place to relax and enjoy the mountains

We loved this cabin. My husband and I were in town to fish for a few days. We floated the Watagua and it was so convenient, I was able to hop off the boat, walk a few minutes to the cabin and let our dogs out for a potty break before hopping back on the boat to finish out our float! Close to grocery stores and food too.

The cabin was immaculate! It was everything we could have asked for. Furniture was comfortable and the AC was blowing cold to make our stay that much more comfortable. We brought both of our dogs and they loved playing outside in the yard that had lots of room. The horses next door were and added bonus and very friendly. Mike is a great host and is easy to get a hold of and extremely helpful with any questions you have. From fishing spots to restaurants and hiking he had all the answers and you got them immediately. Would highly recommend this cabin

My son and I had a guys fishing trip and I found Black Bear Cabin. It was a great find! Mike ensured we had everything we needed. The cabin is located in a very quiet neighborhood and conveniently located to grocery store and restaurants. The pond in front of the cabin with the fountain made the evening very relaxing sitting out on the porch in the rocker. Looking forward to staying on our ne t trip.

We loved this cabin! Not only was the cabin immaculate and the pond beautifully lit up, the owner is awesome! Excellent communication any time we had any questions. We had a intimate wedding there, standing by the pond. We will never forget the wonderful weekend we had there and will definitely go back on our anniversaries! We highly recommend!

The cabin was beautiful and very relaxing. Well equipped with everything or anything we needed. Very well kept. Furniture very comfortable. Linens and towels were clean. The pond with its fountain and landscaping were awesome with all the lights Mike, our host, what can I say. He’s the best. Any questions or concerns, he answered promptly. Very informative and full of suggestions of what to do in the area. We will be back. Thank you Mike and Eastern Tennessee for your hospitality

The cabin was immaculately clean. The photos in the listing were spot on. Our host Mike provided everything we could ask for tips for local dining suggestions for outdoor adventures, and communicating with him was easy and he was very friendly. We brought our small dog, and the beautiful property was perfect for chasing the ball. The inside of the cabin was decorated in normal cabin attire, and felt inviting and cozy. The cabin had everything we could need for a weekend away. The furniture was comfortable and updated, the linens were lush and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked with all of the essentials to cook there. The AC ran so well that we had to turn it up a few degrees as the rooms were too cold, but coming from South Carolina. It was a blessing I have zero complaints about our stay and we are already planning our next visit to this wonderful location and will book this cabin again. The area and the grounds were well kept, but we did not have other people right up on us. We were looking for something private, but not secluded. Thanks again to our host Mike for the hospitality and we will see you soon.

I had a great time staying at the cabin. It was so quiet n relaxing! The cabin was very clean I got there. The host Mike was a great help, always there when I had a question. I couldn’t ask for a better place to stay. I will be coming back to stay.

My wife and I loved this place. It was exactly as described and the host is excellent with constant communication. You really can’t ask for any better. If you are looking for a place to stay in the area this is it.

Mike is the best. Wholeheartedly recommend Black Bear Cabin.

Mike is the best. Wholeheartedly recommend Black Bear Cabin.

It was very relaxing and surrounded by beauty. I will definitely stay there again. The owner was very nice and accommodating

Wonderful cabin, very clean and comfortable, the host was great and responded promptly to any questions we had about the cabin or even the area in general. Very great experience and I would highly recommend!!

Nice cabin Lovely pond w/fountain & lights

Mike was a great host! We had a very relaxing stay at the cabin. Our dog enjoyed his stay as well! Cabin is conveniently located close to town & surrounding towns for sight seeing.

Our stay in this cabin was so nice! The neighborhood was lovely and not far from any amenities that were needed. Being pet friendly allowed us to bring our 10 year old dog along, which we loved.. We were only in town for a short time, and didn’t get a chance to do any fishing, but the river is within walking distance. Will definitely consider staying here again!

Great place to stay. Clean and everything you need for your visit.

We had a great time fly fishing and hiking in the surrounding area. The streams are slammed with fish and the vistas from local trails are top notch. The cabin is in an excellent location and is a wonderful place to unwind. The host is absolutely the best host I’ve had since beginning to use this app 5 years ago.

This place is perfect if you want a quite relaxing get away. Log cabin feel inside walk outside and get to see and feed horses. At night you get to see deer. The pond is stunning during the day and at night with the lights. We will be back.

The moment we pulled up I was in love with this home and property. Just beautiful! Mike was pleasant and responsive to any questions. The cabin is decorated with warm lighting with so many touches which makes it so cozy. The decor is perfect. He had a cozy heater/fireplace on with wonderful retro country music. I just kept looking around and finding things I loved even more. The porch and pond are so gorgeous. The beautiful horses next door enjoyed the carrots we gave them. Rules were very appropriate. I hope my husband has to travel there for business again because we would definitely stay there

We have traveled all over the world and stayed in many 5 star hotels and resorts. This cabin is AWESOME and it is very unique in décor and style. We loved sitting on the porch listening to the pond fountain and gazing at the beautiful Holston Mountain Range. The cabin has a country feel, yet only 5 minutes to town. The area surrounding the cabin is magnificent with horses, cows and beautiful mountains in all directions. The cabin is fully furnished with everything you need; we were impressed with the attention to details, and the cleanliness. Excellent Internet speed and cell phone service while working from the cabin. We would leave this place a 10 star review if we could. We highly recommend this cabin, it was the nicest one in the area bar none. Honestly one of the most unique places we’ve ever stayed. A+++++

We had an amazing stay at the cabin. The cabin was clean and stocked with all that you need. The cabin was beautifully decorated. The host Mike was great with communication and available if we needed anything. It was a real treat to sit out on the front porch and over look the private pond. This will be a stay that we will always remember.

Cute place! Accessible owner.

What a fantastic place to spend a long weekend to celebrate a birthday and get into the Christmas spirit. Some great opportunities for capturing the moment with pictures inside and outside the cabin...even some for Christmas cards. We like to fish and Mike was very informative about the incredible local opportunity. We are planning another stay in the spring to take full advantage of what the area has to offer.
