Property Description

Splashing Bear Lodge sits high in Black Bear Ridge Resort, and the view is what you notice first. Ridgeline after ridgeline, unobstructed, running out to the horizon from the main deck -- in a resort where most of the cabins sit on interior lots without it. The main level opens into a great room under cathedral ceilings, anchored by a stacked-stone gas fireplace, with a gourmet kitchen in stainless and granite, bar seating for four and two dining tables that seat ten more. Wood floors throughout, and deck access off the living room so the mountains are never more than a few steps away. Upstairs, four en-suite bedrooms, each with its own private bath. Downstairs is the part that keeps the calendar full. A private heated indoor pool, enclosed and usable in January, when the outdoor-water cabins go quiet. A game room beside it, laundry, and walkout access to the deck and hot tub. Black Bear Ridge adds a community pool and a wedding chapel. Five minutes to the Pigeon Forge Parkway puts Dollywood, Splash Country, the dinner theaters and the national park entrance inside an easy drive. Close enough for a long weekend, far enough up the mountain to feel like you left. The cabin has earned its keep. Since March 2022 it has produced $614,354 in gross rental revenue across four full seasons, including $124,439 in 2024 and $112,645 in 2025. Through August 2026 it has collected $75,028, ahead of the same eight months of 2025, with another $16,116 confirmed on the books for September and October. Trailing twelve-month occupancy is 74%. Applying historical fill rates to remaining open inventory, 2026 models to approximately $116,900 in gross rental revenue. For an owner who wants a mountain place that works when they are not in it, the record is documented and continuous. Recent money has gone into the things that matter rather than the things that show. New water heater in 2025, moved indoors to eliminate the freeze risk that takes cabins offline in January.
