About this property

The Blackbear 4 bed log cabin with loft and cathedral ceilings

4 bedrooms (one on the main floor), 3 baths, lots of windows, Jacuzzi tub in main bathroom, cathedral ceilings, central air and heat, fully equipped kitchen, authentic log furniture.

This recently designed 3 level log home features an open floor plan where the kitchen, dining area and living room seamlessly blend into each other. Lots of light is provided through the two story high windows and a huge wraparound deck and covered porch are easily accessed for outdoor dining. A stone fireplace with a pellet stove makes for cozy winters and above the fireplace whilst an authentic Black Bear watches over you. The kitchen of course is fully equipped with everything you would expect and the furniture in the living room is very comfortable. Towards the back, you will find the Master Bed Room with a queen bed. It connects to the Master bathroom with Jacuzzi tub, separate shower, toilet and a double vanity.

The house offers easy access for those with moderate mobility problems, as we installed a gently sloping ramp between the parking lot and the front door.

Upstairs, you will find two bed rooms, each with two twin beds. One of the two bed rooms has private access to the full bathroom with separate toilet, shower tub and double vanity. At the front of the house, there is a loft for relaxing with extensive views. On the lower level, you will find another bed room with a queen bed. The bathroom has a tiled shower, toilet and sink. The Family room offers a comfortable two seat sofa, a couch, an easy chair and a 42 inch TV. At the back of the cabin, there is a picnic table, fire pit and a park style grill.

Gorgeous winter getaway!!

This home was absolutely beautiful, nestled away in the Pipestem State Park. It snowed the entire weekend and the host was gracious to give us great directions and assistance if anyone got stuck. Would recommend for a group ski trip to Winterplace!

Retreat at Pipestem.

Had a wonderful stay with 10 of our family. Very spacious and adequate accommodations for our group. We have stayed at the Retreat several times before 4 or 5 years ago, and the cabins, and appliances were cleaner and in much better condition. The Black Bear especially was somewhat rundown and not very clean. I hope the owners are made aware of the deficiencies so that they can be corrected. Such a beautiful place and it would be ashamed to let it get run down further. We hope to return some day.

Perfect Location!

We loved staying at Blackbear Cabin. It was the perfect size and location for our family cabin getaway. Super close to Pipestem, Bluestone, and Hinton. We were even able to drive a little further out to see the New River Gorge Bridge!

Piece of Heaven

The Black Bear Cabin was wonderful! Even better in person than the pictures. Privacy in a beautiful wooded setting with a huge wrap around deck and covered outdoor area from the lower level entrance. The cabin is decorated so nice and has every amenity you would need. We had a family trip with our 4 adult children and grandchildren and the cabin is so close to all activities at Pipestem State Park! The cabin was clean and well maintained and great for a family trip. Bathrooms were also perfect for a larger group! Wonderful 5 stars!

Family Fun!

This was our second time staying at this beautiful cabin for a family ski trip. Winterplace is a quick drive from the cabin. Kitchen is well stock for family meals at home versus eating out. Three levels are perfect for some quiet time or for hang out space for different age groups. The manager responded timely to all my wuestions about the cabin and activities in the area.

Fantastic Cabin

We had a wonderful experience at The Black Bear Cabin. Our small Scout Troop stayed here while skiing at Winterplace. It was very nice, clean, and comfortable. The kitchen was well equipped and easy layout. Sleeping was comfortable and flexible. Very private. You must follow the directions to get there very carefully!

The prefect place for a family Christmas retreat.

This cabin was very comfortable and cozy. Plenty of room for everyone. One of our grandchildren said: “I don’t want to leave, I like this cabin.” I think that says it all. We will be back again.

Wonderful Place for Birthdays Celebrations!

An adventure to get there, we were glad to have exact distance directions to arrive at this beautiful, peaceful, comfortable, and equipped timber lodge. It felt like home when we entered. Mindful of three floors of wood, we all knew LIFE happens when lots of people are in there together, but that made it more comfy. The fire pit was fun! The Care Instructions were easy to follow. The location is within easy distance and time to many sights, activities, views, walks, restaurants, and adventures in Pipestem Park and on Hwy. 20. Our ladies group would enjoy being there again!

Beautiful property in and out! Plenty of room for us to be together and to spread out. Near lots of gorgeous hikes, outdoor activities, and parks. Comfortable beds and furnishings. Gas fireplace, air hockey, porch swing and of course Pipestem State Park at the door. Property Manager Tammy was very kind and responsive for questions and advice. Already planning for a return visit! The whole family was very impressed!
