My son and I had such a special getaway in this lovely cabin in Tennessee. It was even better than we anticipated! We began each day with coffee in a front porch rocker taking in the scenery and fresh air. My son loved the fire pit and the well lit pond out front. Our dog loved the space to run and play, and he definitely was intrigued by the neighboring horses. The amenities are exactly as described, and we had everything we needed to feel right at home. Mike is an incredibly responsive, thoughtful, and friendly host. We cannot wait to return…Perfectly peaceful!

Cabin was clean and close to where we needed to be. Great access for TV watching (happened to be March Madness).

My bestie and I were supposed to attend a scrapbooking retreat that got canceled and decided to come down anyway. We chose this cabin with no regrets. We gained some sweet horse friends with apples and carrots and thoroughly enjoyed the serene view and night sounds by the pond. The cabin was clean, comfortable and well maintained by an amazing host. Thank you Mike - we will be back soon! :)

Fantastic rental. House is beautiful. Love the pond. Quite area.

This place is awesome…. If your a trout fisherman or just looking to relax in a country setting this is it! Just about a 100 yard walk from the Watauga river! Great Host

We loved the cabin and our stay. Mike was wonderful to work with. There are horses next door that are super friendly, the fish feeding was a nice experience. Overall it was a great experience.

Mike was a pleasure to talk with. He was very informative and helpful when needed. The cabin was cute and cozy. Watching the trout at feeding time was an added pleasure. Thanks again for making our anniversary special!

This is a very beautiful cabin with plenty of space inside. It would be perfect for a group, but also cozy enough if you just want a little getaway for 2. There's lot's of places to eat and grocery stores close by if you need anything. The owner was also very accommodating.

Mike was an excellent host. Responded quickly to any questions that we had. The cabin was super cozy and very clean. This was a perfect get away location. My husband and son enjoyed making a snowman for the first time being that we live in Florida. Absolutely amazing/beautiful firepit area out by the pond that we enjoyed nightly. Was sad to leave. Will definitely be back. Thank you for all the great memories.

The cabin was such a wonderful experience. I had to go down for my mother’s funeral and it was serene. The pond was lite up and the cabin was warm. I would definitely stay again.

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.

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

Wonderful cabin in a beautiful setting. We had a quick trip to Johnson City and stayed just one night but will definitely stay here again if our travels take us back to the area. The living room is so inviting and cozy, and the bed was very comfortable.

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
