The overall space of this property, large bedrooms with their own ensuites, ample seating on the deck, room to easily navigate around the kitchen island and not bump into one another, and most importantly the dining table that easily seated all 12 of us every evening where we could listen & tell the adventures of our day. We all enjoyed the game room & hot tub, steaks on the grill, and certainly the gorgeous views. We did see a beautiful bear pass through - fun for all! Communication from the owner, Gary, was great. We couldn't have asked for anything more from the house or our experience there - it really was absolutely perfect!

Upon entering the front door you were WOWed with the spectacular view of the Smoky Mountain Range that continuously changed throughout the day. It was very relaxing & comfortable. We were fine just staying there, we did do a few things a couple of hikes, a cavern, pigeon forge for 1/2 a day, the Old mill for lunch & a morning of antiquing & Cherokee for a day, but really we just liked hanging out at the house, creating memories with great friends & enjoying the nature all around us.

Our family stayed at Blackstone for a family birthday celebration. The owner was very nice, the home was stunning yet so comfortable and very clean! The big windows capture the views from every room and a well thought out kitchen. We made memories there that will last a lifetime! Highly recommend!

My stay was nothing short of Amazing!! Mr. Gary is the absolutely best ever. The cabin is so breath taking and relaxing. I can't wait to revisit the property again.

We had 6 couples and I cant say enough great things about the entire experience. The property is just as described and absolutely beautiful.The communication from the owners was top notch and the place has everything you need and more!!!

We chose this home for our family’s stay as we celebrated our daughter’s NYE wedding. It was beautiful, very spacious and was close to the wedding venue. It had everything we needed and the views were absolutely amazing! Gary was an exceptional host and very pleasant to work with. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend.

Our family of 14 which spanned 4 generations, spent the week of Thanksgiving 2023 in this beautiful house. The views were spectacular, especially the window seat on the top floor overlooking the town. We had plenty of room and all of the bedrooms and bathrooms were big and clean. The kitchen was awesome and the dining table fit all of us! The game room and theater room were great as well. The switches were labeled so there was no guessing which light turned on (never stayed in a house with this but it was awesome). And surprisingly we loved the fact there was no TV in the main living room, nice to gather around the fireplace and talk. We also loved there were coffee stations on every floor! We have stayed in many cabins in Pigeon Forge but this house was hands down our favorite! The kids really enjoyed the hot tub and the games. We even had a bear visit us when we were at the fire pit while we were doing s’mores. Apparently he enjoyed the s’mores because he showed up again the next day on the front porch. It was exciting to finally see a bear even though he got a little too close. Gary was the best host, very informative and communicated very well and answered all questions we had. We had a great time staying here and hope to return again. This house is perfect for a large group and we highly recommend it. It was the perfect week and we will cherish the wonderful memories made.

Wow!! What an amazing stay. This home was in a terrific neighborhood, very convenient to the main strip in Pigeon Forge and Dollywood and the view was breathtaking. Everything was incredibly clean. Very spacious and a fun game console as well as a theater room. The communication from the time we booked until after we left was timely and thorough. We will definitely be back!

Very satisfied, would rent again

The pictures truly do not do the views or the house justice. The house is in exceptionally good condition and does not feel under-maintained like many other mountain rentals, the entire house was very clean, the switches are all labeled (which is a huge help), it is well stocked with utensils, cups, etc., and layout was very comfortable for the 6 couples we had. The owner/manager is also very responsive and helpful. We hope to be back!

This is our family’s second visit to this stunning home in the mountains. While we have never met the owners in person, they feel like long time friends. Consistently gracious and attentive to our needs! We are booked again for next year and counting the days until then.

We loved so many things about this mountain home that are really hard to find. First, this is not your typical TN cabin rental. It was so modern and luxurious while still having the cabin feel you expect in the Smokey Mountains. The craftsmanship was just beautiful. The bedrooms were all well appointed and spread out for privacy with two large master bedroom suites on each of the three levels. It’s extremely rare to find all master suites so that no one has to share a bathroom. We appreciated that the main level living room /great room didn’t have a TV. We spent a ton of quality time in this gathering space which was also close to the kitchen and dining area where we enjoyed all of our meals together at a table that fit us all. Some of us taking in the peaceful view and quiet time and others playing cards around the table. The outdoor space had very adequate seating for large families and groups. The lower level kept all of the younger ones entertained with pool table, tv, hot tub and an amazing theater room for all. We got to witness a mama bear and her three baby cubs pass by the side of the home on day one. What a way to start off our stay! Gary was the best host, very communicative, He really cares about his home and the people who visit it. The community itself was also so impressive! As you drive up the mountain, you pass so many other exquisite homes, all of them built so unique. The roads were wide and paved. This place by far is our favorite one yet! We’ll be back!

Blackstone Lodge is the perfect Smoky Mountain destination for our family. The views from the porch are incredible. The home is very well-maintained, clean, well-stocked, and secure. I would recommend without hesitation to family and friends.

Thank you for hosting our family at your beautiful property it exceeded our expectations! Lovely home and perfect location for our family reunion. Gorgeous views made it unnecessary to spend our days anywhere else even though everything was close by. Truly unforgettable! We truly had a memorable vacation! Highly recommend booking.

Our stay was so beautiful and peaceful ! The listing was everything and more. Gary and Jennifer were great hosts and communicated often from beginning to end of your stay! The house is spacious, beautifully furnished and the views are spectacular … I would sit on the porch and just soak up the clean air. Everything is close by ( shopping outlet, grocery, Dollywood, water rafting, restaurants…) Ideal location, great hosts, beautiful surroundings and beautiful house! Thank you Gary and Jennifer, it was magical!

Blackstone Lodge was perfect vacation lodge for a family of eleven. The lodge had amazing views of the mountains. The owner checked in with us to make sure everything was in order, again before we checked out with final instructions and again after we left. The kids loved the game room, especially the pool table and the entertainment room. The adults loved the large front room, the deck with plenty of furniture for seating, the large dinning room table and kitchen island, the fully equipped kitchen, the spacious and amazing bedrooms with bathrooms, the large parking area. This is a five star lodge that met all our needs and is well worth the rental cost.

Home was beautiful, clean,and had everything we needed. the location was ideal! Access to the National Park was scenic and quick (entered through Townsend). Access to Pidgeon Forge and activities was close and also a quick trip. Property owner was friendly and very helpful and quick to response to any questions.

We had a great experience of the smoky hills. Cabin in great condition and spacious. Great communication during our stay.

The house was beautiful and spacious. It was very clean and had a fully stocked kitchen. The deck and bedrooms were excellent and allowed my group of friends and family to enjoy ourselves. I would highly recommend this house to anyone!!!

Best house every rented! Wonderful location.

We loved our stay and wished we didn't have to leave. The house was clean and well-appointed, with nice touches such as attractive chalkboard signage explaining how to use the grill and the arcade machine. Every bedroom was comfortable, and there were plenty of public spaces to hang out in, so we never got bored. It was a short drive to get groceries and convenient enough for picking people up at the airport. We will definitely book again if we come back to the area. Big thank you to the hosts!

We so enjoyed our stay at BLACKSTONE Lodge. The property was great and the host was in contact if you need anything.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at Blackstone! The pictures do not give justice to the views, especially the sunrises. Gary was extremely helpful after booking all the way through checking out. The home included everything we needed for a group of 13! This place had the space for all of us - coffee on the patios, adult kids hanging at the fire pit or playing pool, younger kids/grandkids enjoying Bluey in the theatre room or having dance parties and space for walkers and play areas for the youngest! Thank you for the opportunity to create amazing family memories!

We have been renting homes in this area for several years and this is the best. Our children and grandchildren all enjoyed their rooms. There is no bad room in the house. It was spotless and very well maintained. Also in a good location with great views. Gary and Jennifer are the best host’s we’ve had. Very responsive and detailed. Sharon K Sharon K

A truly beautiful and tranquil place to visit. We had a wonderful time. The location is absolutely perfect, and the views from all rooms are amazing!! One of our best experiences yet! Gary was a gracious and accommodating host, and Blackstone Lodge is next to perfect.

Beautiful, clean, & spacious cabin! Made so many wonderful memories during our short stay here. The game room and outdoor fire pit were a big hit with the whole family. And you absolutely cannot beat the gorgeous views of the smokies off the balcony! You definitely won’t regret staying here! It’s fabulous!!

This cabin is beautiful and has all the amenities needed to feel at home. The views are stunning! Great location! Very close to everything but very private and mountain vibe. We will definitely be back!

We enjoyed our stay at the Blackstone Lodge. We had a family gathering for Christmas coming from Ohio, Georgia, and Florida. It was beautifully decorated and had plenty of space for our entire family of 13. The host was very responsive and provided great information about the location. Thank you Gary and Jennifer for your hospitality. We will be back. ❤️

The house was totally amazing, best experience ever!!

Our time at BLACKSTONE was fantastic. It was the perfect place to gather with my family to celebrate both Christmas and my birthday. Every detail of the property was exactly as shown/listed and the view was absolutely incredible. It’s apparent that the owners, Gary & Jennifer, take great pride in this home that they so graciously share with us. It was well appointed and large enough for us 14 adults to gather together or have private space. And it’s and VERY clean! Mother Nature brought forth an Arctic blast (wind chills below zero) during a few of our days and we didn’t get experience as much outdoors as we wanted to, so we’ve already begun thinking about our return trip to BLACKSTONE!!

I don’t know where to begin…. everything was exceptional from start to finish! I’m one that reads reviews so I’m telling you this is thee home to pick! We booked Blackstone for our family Christmas Vacation of 10 ( ages 25-64) plus an 11 month old. First of all the hosts, Gary and Jennifer, are amazing and their lodge is homey with a Ritz flare! Gary was so attentive, provided a list of activities and sites in the area, and made the entire process delightful. I feel like I’ve known Gary for years… he has a heart of gold! The lodge is magnificent and the views are breathtaking…. and that’s an understatement! I’d give this lodge and host more than 5 stars if I could! And to top it off my son proposed to his girlfriend at Abrams Falls Great Smoky Mountains….. my heart is full!! So many unbelievable and cherished memories made at this beautiful lodge. I could go on and on. I questioned “ how a place could have 5/5 stars”……sounded too good to be true, now I see why! We’ll be revisiting ! Thank you Gary and Jennifer for sharing lovely Blackstone Lodge! ❤️

The views are amazing, the property is spacious, and the host is readily available! What we loved about this property vs some others that we stayed in was that each bedroom was a suite with its own bathroom!! The rooms are all spacious, the porches are amazing/spacious, the kitchen/dining area is open, and the layout is very friendly to large groups!! You will not regret booking this property!!
