A Little More About Us...
The owners, Roger and Sierra Tinsley, both graduated from Appalachian State University in 2004. They have 2 children and they are already following in the footsteps of the family business. Roger had a natural gift for understanding numbers and math as well as a very strong background in mortgages and banking. Sierra still has to use a calculator most of the time (lol) but she has extensive knowledge and experience in real estate and hospitality. And from Roger and Sierra’s collective minds and ideas and working together as a team, Black Bear Vacations was born almost 15 years ago!
Roger passed away suddenly and unexpectedly in 2017. He is missed more than words can begin to say…but BBV continues to thrive and grow in his memory, just like he would have wanted it to, and I know he would be proud to see what our company has become.
BBV is local, so in the unlikely event you have any concerns during your stay, any member of our team can be there to assist you at a moment’s notice. We meticulously maintain our cabins, listen and react to your questions and needs, and take great pride in our customer service.
Additionally, we have been working with the same housekeeping and maintenance crews for the better part of our 15 years in business. They do an amazing job and we are honored to work with them. If you're looking for a vacation cabin in the Great Smoky Mountains, a cabin in Gatlinburg or a cabin in Pigeon Forge, you've come to the right place. Please reach out to me (Sierra) anytime if you have any questions or if there’s anything I can do to help you! I’m available via phone or text at 704-577-3255 or email at Sierra@BlackBearVacations.com. Thank you for your interest in our cabins and we look forward to hosting you!
