We welcome you and your registered guests to host your private events at Black Bear Lodge. The lodge can be a great place for an intimate wedding ceremony, a special birthday or team retreat.

The free ticket program through Xplorie provides one free ticket per day per group to each of the attractions listed. The tickets are not cumulative, but they do reset each night. So, for example if you wanted to go to Dollywood you would not receive multiple tickets that could be used at the same time but if you wanted to go on various days one person would get in free each day. There is no limit to the number of attractions you can visit in a day. Tickets for your entire group can be purchased through the Xplorie call center when you call to register for your free ticket. Further details will be sent with your booking confirmation.

A ramp is provided to access the lodge for guests who have difficulty climbing stairs. This is a multilevel home with a staircase inside to access the upper level.
