About this property

Blackberry Bear is Ready for Your Spring or Summer Visit!

Welcome to Blackberry Bear, a 2 bedroom, 2 bath cabin in the Blackberry Ridge Resort in Pigeon Forge, Tennessee, just minutes off the Parkway. This cabin sleeps 6. It's just far enough away from the bustle of the Parkway, while still being within 5 to 10 minutes drive of most everything. With easy paved road access (no mountains to climb) and an in-town location, you’ll spend less time driving and more time having fun! With 3 parking places, Blackberry Bear is a great starting point if you're coming for Rod Run, the Smoky Mountain Jeep Invasion or any of the other fun special events! Many are held at The Island, which is less than a mile away. The Cal Ripkin Experience is also very close, if your kids are participating in it.

As soon as you enter Blackberry Bear, you’ll be amazed at how beautiful and comfortable this cabin is. The expansive living room features beautiful wood tones and log style tables, a stone accented fireplace, cozy décor and a cathedral ceiling that creates more space and openness. There is an entire 2 story wall of windows, which makes the cabin very bright, and there are drapes across the lower half which can be opened, or closed for privacy. They have been tinted in the spring of 2021 to reduce the glare and heat which comes through the glass.

The main floor has a living room with a queen sized sleeper sofa and comfortable seating; the gas log fireplace is seasonally available. Cable TV and WiFi are included, along with a DVD player, should you want to venture to Redbox to pick up one of the latest videos. The kitchen is recently redone, with a side by side refrigerator including through the door ice and water dispenser, stove and dishwasher, and full of the dishes and cooking necessities to keep you happy through your stay. The dining table has plenty of room for the family, while the breakfast bar is perfect for grabbing a quick bite before adventuring out for the day. There is a king bedroom on the main floor, with a TV and adjoining bath. The bath has a tub/shower combination. The cabin also has a washer and dryer, so if you want to do a quick load of laundry, it's very convenient. We do provide a couple of laundry pods, but if you're going to do a lot of laundry, you might want to bring more.

Upstairs you'll find the game loft, complete with pool table, seating and a bright, airy window. There's also a table upstairs for playing a board game, and it's also a good spot if you're trying to do a little remote work while on vacation. The master bedroom is upstairs, with a king sized bed, private bath, and in-room jacuzzi tub.

On the back deck you'll find new, comfortable wood log rockers, along with a gas grill and new hot tub. You'll find a bistro table with 2 seats on the back deck, near the grill. It's great for holding your food as you grill, but it is also a wonderful place to sit in the morning and enjoy your coffee. There is a privacy screen at the end of the deck near the hot tub. It's very secluded and quiet, with a nice wooded view.

From mid-November through January, Pigeon Forge. Gatlinburg, and Dollywood are decorated for the Christmas celebration, and so is Blackberry Bear! Come have an early (or late) celebration here, in a place where everyone loves the holidays!

A short walk from the cabin, you'll find the community pool, which is available from the end of May until some time in late September to the middle of October, depending upon the weather, and has free WiFi available, as well. Pool hours are 9AM to 9PM. Additionally, there is a clubhouse near the pool, which is available for rent by guests. We can put you in touch with the management if you're interested in this!

This resort is just six miles from Dollywood and the Old Mill, giving guests easy access to some of the best attractions in the area! Stop by The Island, about 3 minutes away, to take a spin on the Great Smoky Mountain Wheel. Across the street from the main entrance to Blackberry Ridge Resort is a stop for the Pigeon Forge Trolley. It's an easy way to get a tour around the area, or a ride to your destination without worry about parking, and the fare is very inexpensive. Visit downtown Gatlinburg, only 11 miles away, with so much to do it’ll have you planning your next trip! Enjoy mountain air on an easy hike along Boulevard Trail or check out Rainbow Falls Trail and be rewarded with a remarkable view of the highest single-drop waterfall in the Smokies.

This is a great cabin for a romantic getaway, friends' weekend, or a family vacation. There's plenty of room for everyone, lots to do in the area, and a nice spot if you just want a little down time!

A couple of important things to note:

We do not offer refunds due to weather. We would highly recommend trip insurance to protect your vacation.

Rates are subject to change at any time before a reservation is confirmed.

Fireplace is in operation from October 15 to March 31st only.

Please, no smoking, for the health and safety of everyone.

Perfect location

Our stay was excellent! The cabin was just the right size for my family of 6. It was very clean and cozy. The location was the best! We were minutes from all of the experiences we had pre booked for our get away (Dollywood, Paula Deen’s, Alcatraz Museum, Titanic Museum). We will definitely book again.

Convenience...Convenience...Convenience!

I have stayed in Pingeon Forge multiple times. If you have never stayed in Pingeon Forge, you do not know exactly what to seek in a cabin. This cabin is truly located very convenient to everything. The cabin is NOT located on top of a hill/mountain which makes the return at night very safe. Many cabins are located on dark windy roads.Going up hills/mountains, makes it a challenge at night and in the event of snow. This cabin is located in a cabin community, again safer. This was the only cabin in the community that was decorated for Christmas when we were there (owners take pride in it). The TV's, Wi-Fi, fireplace, thermostate was very consumer friendly. Some I have stayed at, you need an electrical degree to operate. Our stay was very pleasant with no surprises...highly recommend!

Smokey mountain motorcycle riding

We throughly enjoyed staying here, it was very convenient and close to town for eating out after a long day of bike rides and or seeing the sites. Host was very prompt at responding to all questions. The views of Tennessee were absolutely beautiful and the weather couldn’t have been any better. Was a very great trip.

539 Blackberry - will make you merry

The cabin was incredibly comfortable and provided a relaxing and satisfying place to wind down at the end of a long day of sightseeing, hiking, whitewater rafting, etc. The amenities were perfect and our group thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Great location - just minutes from Pigeon Forge and short drives to all main attractions and National Park. Price is worth it. Thanks!

Comfy Cabin

Plenty of room for the two of us. King bedrooms were very comfortable. Enjoyed the hot tub after a day of walking around Dollywood. The upstairs jetted tub was great. Even though we didn't cook, the kitchen was fully stocked, just like home. Cabin is very close to all the tourist attractions, food and shopping and a quick run to Walmart was close by. Great communication with our host, Dan. Definitely would stay here again :)

Why they chose this property

This is a great location in a nice community. It's close to the family attractions in Pigeon Forge, an easy trip to Ober Gatlinburg during ski season, and a great starting point for trips to the Great Smoky Mountain National Park. There is parking for 3 cars right in front of the cabin, which makes getting in very easy.
