Reviews for Black Bear Crossing

Yen
We had a lovely stay at this cabin. Clean facilities with lovely viewing decks and spacious bedrooms for the family. The classic arcade games were a blast in the upstairs! Make sure you drive up the correct hill to get there as there are some surrounding driveways that are even steeper and borderline dangerous if you go up them (we went up one wrong one on the way in and somehow got down). The cabin itself is located on reasonable roads and hills. Good tv set up with streaming services for kids if need with good voice controls which we always appreciate! We saw one black bear on the street on our last night driving back to the cabin so please practice good safety to protect yourself and the bears. We were too scared to use the hot tub since we saw the bear but it looked beautiful!
Response from Cabins for You
Yen, thank you for staying with us and for the detailed review. We're glad you enjoyed the clean cabin, viewing decks, spacious bedrooms, and the classic arcade games upstairs — sounds like the family had fun. Good to hear the TV streaming and voice controls worked well. Thanks for the heads-up about the nearby driveways; we’ll update our arrival instructions to help guests find the correct hill. Sorry you spotted a bear and felt uncomfortable using the hot tub — we appreciate the reminder to follow bear-safety practices like securing food and keeping a safe distance. We’d love to host you again. Please come back anytime.
Thank you,
Cabins For You

I am usually 5 star ratings person but I have to give a 4 star rating. Below are the pros and cons.
Pros:
-Beautiful cabin
-Loved all the balconies and scenic views
-Clean
-Excellent mattresses
-Convenient location to Gatlinburg
Cons:
-Sheets are very poor quality and the top sheet does not even reach the full length of the bed
-Bathroom towels are also poor quality
-Pillows are flat
- Received the below message at 11pm the night before I could cancel for a full refund.

(Important information to help prepare for your stay:
*What We Provide
- 1 towel + 1 washcloth per guest
- 1 bar of soap + 1 roll of toilet paper per bathroom

*What to Pack (Or Grab in Town)
- Extra towels
- Toiletries (shampoo, conditioner, body wash, etc.)
- Dishwashing detergent
- Dish soap
- Laundry detergent + dryer sheets
We flew from out of state and stayed for 7 nights. I’m not sure this cabin would have been my choice if provided all information at booking.

We’ve been to Gatlinburg multiple times throughout the years and by far this cabin was the best! The location is what we liked the most. Up high with a great view of the city and mountains yet only 5 minutes to downtown! The cabin was very new and was fully furnished with everything you need! The kids loved the game room!
PS, bear are everywhere haha.

Beautiful cabin, beautiful views.

Everything! Just had a little difficulty with all the different remotes to the tvs. They were scattered throughout the cabin. Also the cabin above us could see directly down into the hot tub and one of the bathrooms if those blinds were open

We appreciate a host that put in extra efforts to make their place feel like home to their guests, every lil detail means alot from silverwares to other things.
We enjoyed our stay here, felt homey and cozy, love the game room, the view of the smoky mountain scenic loop, lots of bear visits, hot tub was definitely great after an eventful day, good location close to all attractions with tons of things to do with kids.
The house beside us can definitely see the tub even though it is barricaded thats cause they're on the higher side of the mountain.
It would be nice if the linens and comforters were not dusty and floors clean free of insects.
overall the place is clean and I highly recommend it ????????
the company hosting service was great aswell and flexible response.
Response from Cabins for You

Beary Special Spring Break

Great place to stay for a family vacation. Close to downtown and other attractions. Game room was great for a rainy day.

The cabin was clean, comfortable and well maintained. The location was ideal and allowed us to be in Gatlinburg while also feeling secluded in the mountains. We would definitely stay here again.

Everything was as listed. Beautiful cabin and very clean. The location was also great, not a lot of through traffic, and it was very close to the main strip. The only downside was that the cabin next door is able to see into the second floor restroom if the blinds are open, and the hot tub area since it is out in the open. I will also add that the host didn't reply to the messages and I had to call the number given to get the keypad code. Besides that it is a great and peaceful place to stay.
Response from Cabins for You
Thank you so much for your lovely feedback, Alex! We're thrilled to hear you enjoyed the beautiful cabin and its serene location. It's great that the privacy concern regarding the blinds and the hot tub has been highlighted—rest assured, we're on it to ensure a more secluded experience. We apologize for any inconvenience with communication; we're currently enhancing our responsiveness to provide even smoother stays. We hope to host you again for another peaceful getaway!
