Gatlin Lodge 3 Miles to Downtown Gatlinburg
Looking for a great view? Gatlin Lodge, located in Black Bear Falls, is your place! Just picture yourself sitting on our one of our expansive decks watching birds soar, clouds move over the mountains and, if you’re lucky, watching a storm move over the Smokies! This is the perfect place for morning coffee or a glass of wine in the evening. The good news is there’s not just one large deck but two! Both covered decks offer seating for enjoying the view and then there’s the hot tub! Relax in the hot tub on a starlit night. The moon is not bad either – ahh romance!
The inside of the cabin is just as impressive! The open floor plan means everyone is always part of the action. Relax in the comfortable living room complete with a stacked stone fireplace with gas logs – no messy wood! You can even have dinner with a view! The chef will appreciate our well-equipped kitchen.
Gatlin Lodge is in the city limits of Gatlinburg and conveniently located close to the national forest and all the attractions in our area. After a hard day of having fun, it’s time to rest up for your next day in one of our comfy king beds. Each bedroom is on a different floor to ensure privacy. In addition, each bedroom has an attached full bathroom. And each bedroom has a TV, just in case you want to watch in bed.
Everyone will love the game room on the terrace level. Who wants to play pool? Here’s your chance. This is one of the few cabins with a second fireplace situated in the game room. Perfect on a chilly night! Just off the game room is another large deck! In case you’re in the mood to do laundry, the washer and dryer are located on this level.
Good news for those with allergies – neither smoking nor animals allowed, this is strictly enforced. Driveway is camera monitored for safety. *

Beautiful view, very cozy. Loved the 3 floors each with bedroom and bathroom. The 3 couples could easily all hang out together or be in their own space.The only thing i did not like was the hill for the "driveway", but it was worth it for the mountain view.

Gatlinburg Getaway
Just a little weekend getaway to break the monotony. The cabin was awesome, the host was very responsive, and the girls loved the hot tub. It appears that all of the cabins in this community are three stories with a bedroom and bathroom on every floor.. what absolutely stay here again.

Beautiful Cabin
Very clean and beds were very comfortable. Driveway was little steep, but you're in the mountains. Close to Downtown Gatlinburg and neighbors were very friendly. Hot tub was clean and very useful after riding Harley around the mountains all day. I would stay here again.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
We really enjoyed our time here. The cabin was very clean and comfortable. We especially like having a bedroom and bathroom on each of the 3 floors so everyone could have their own space. The deck was great for hanging out and eating outside. We especially enjoyed the hot tub and the gas fireplace. The cabin is a quick easy drive to the Gatlinburg business district. I would highly recommend.

Post Christmas Trip
No issues with cabin! It was perfect for our family.
Only thing to keep in mind is the parking. This cabin shares a driveway with another cabin and it was tight with parking. The driveway is short and very steep! It would be so hard to get up and down if bad weather. But this is similar to most cabins.

great location for a quiet fall getaway
We always love staying in the Black Bear Falls cabin community when we go to Gatlinburg. It’s close enough to downtown to see all the sites, yet far enough away to have the quiet and less busy feeling. It’s very close to the Art and Crafts community and has a great grocery store just down the street. Check in was easy and everything was clean. We loved staying here. Two couches converted into pull out beds. We travelled with our two small children and my two in-laws. Would recommend staying here!

BEST vacation for my adult children
We had the BEST trip to the Gatlin Lodge & Gatlinburg this week!
The cabin was so very nice & clean!! My 4 adult children enjoyed it too. With 3 floors & 3 bedrooms & bathrooms, all were comfortable for whatever each felt like doing. My Daughter had to work a little remotely each day, and she had several places to do that. Rooms are exactly as depicted on VRBO! Property owner was very responsive to any questions also!! He even came by and introduced himself & emptied our outdoor trash container! Our hot tub was also in good condition & was well enjoyed!! We traveled with another family from our area, and they were in “The Songbird” & we could walk to their cabin!
We did see a big black Bear the 1st 2 nights that we were in Gburg!! But the whole Black Bear Falls community is beautiful, quiet & relaxing for all!!! And it was only 3 miles to Gatlinburg!!!
Our cabin also was equipped with great amenities! Cookware & kitchen supplies were great; water pressure & hot water was way above average!! Strong & steady!!! Shocked that it was so awesome even with competing showers!!
We only wished that the pool was warmer! But had a FANTASTIC FAMILY VACATION !!! We will be back!!

Amazing Cabin
This cabin is perfect. We loved our week long stay. We had a lot of rain so we were at the cabin a lot and loved it. The kitchen has plenty of dishes and utensils. The property manager responded to my question right away and was so kind and helpful. The driveway is steep but it was nothing my car couldn’t handle.
