Perfect Stay

The cabin was perfect! Clean, spacious, and well-stocked. We enjoyed the fishing pond, the well-equipped kitchen, and the games in the Buckeye basement. We could probably have stayed a week and not gotten bored.

We had an amazing time here! Not only was this cabin beautiful but the little things that were set up there made our stay even better. We loved the s’mores basket for us to enjoy (we forgot our smore stuff). My daughter loved to fish and all the games! We will definitely stay here again!

Cambridge, OH Holiday Stay in a Log Cabin Home

We stayed here Dec 21-23 for our family Christmas and birthday celebration. The place was beautifully decorated with a Christmas tree, lights and lots of cool and unique items. The house was immaculately cleaned. We were pleased with how well stocked the kitchen and bathrooms were-literally everything one needs. The host even provides snacks and Smores fixins'. The grounds were lovely too. Even though it was 20 degrees out, we took a short hike around. We saw families of deers, hawks, other birds, and even a mink on the partially frozen pond. One highlight for many of us was the hot tub on the patio. We spent the evening in Cambridge enjoying the Christmas Dickens scenes, dinner at a nice local restaurant Theo's , and the courthouse light show. Then back to relax in the hot tub and watch the OSU football game in the basement , which BTW is stocked with tons of games to play! This was an amazing time in a home away from home!

Wonderful home away from home

We loved the property and appreciate how clean and festive it was upon our arrival. The kitchen had everything you could ever need and we loved the smores basket! Once we got the fireplace in motion we enjoyed a fire in it every day we were there along the outside fire ring by the hot tub. We had an amazing Thanksgiving vacation and would certainly come again. It would be nice for some high traffic carpeting in the basement :) to help cozy it up since there’s no tv in the main floor of the house.

6 early spring days at BlackBearHoller

Great family stay and play cabin. Many amenities, and host provided extras. We walked in to find: Easter eggs ready to hide for the kiddos, Gourmet Smore supplies, snack treats, popcorn, muffin mix with refrigerated ingredients, fishing supplies, hot tub, grill and great walking trail for the whole family. Kids loved the evening light show, catching fish, playing games and even got in some TV time with a Happy Feet DVD. Streaming music and places to hide and read are also available. Gaming in the basement was a big hit, especially the little Putt-Putt for the kiddos. Kudos to the Hosts for going all in to make our stay at BlackBearHoller relaxing and enjoyable.

Amazing

My husband and I absolutely loved it here! It is such a beautiful cabin and we fell in love with it from the moment we pulled in the drive. It has everything, plus more that you can even imagine. They thought of everything even down to lip balm and hair ties. The hot tub was amazing to sit in at night and enjoy all the sounds of nature, along with all the stars in the sky. It is so peaceful and relaxing. You will not want to leave. Everyday we did see some kind of wild life. The owner is amazing and did a fabulous job and is easy to correspond with. It is amazing and if we could rate it on the 5 stars it would definitely surpass it by 100.

A perfect getaway

The cabin delivered all I expected and more. Beautiful decorated with a comfy black bear theme, this cabin was a perfect setting for a family getaway. There is such attention to detail from the toiletries to the s'mores kit to the fishing rods/tackle/bait to a stocked spice cabinet to family indoor/outdoor games etc. I could go on and on. Whether the weather is sunny, raining, snowing etc this little piece of heaven has something to offer. Greg even messaged us about the meteor shower and where to look for it on Saturday evening. A great friend and family getaway! Highly recommend.

A wonderful cabin and location

Let me start with location. We were 25 minutes or less from all the places we wanted to visit. (i.e. -Weasel Boy brewing, The Wilds and Salt Fork State Park. The cabin was outfitted with everything you needed. A well stock kitchen, plenty of bathrooms, comfortable beds and a hot tub with each seated jetted differently. The porch overlooking the pond was great for evening get togethers. The pond was well stocked with fish and was the highlight for my grandson. The firepit was enjoyable for late night adult beverages and Smores making. Our whole weekend was a total joy. Greg was quick to respond and very helpful when we needed to make changes. I highly recommend this cabin.

Everything and more

Check-in/checkout was easy and the communication of local places to check out by Greg was very much appreciated. The house was super cute. It was decorated with a black bear and woods theme. All the amenities were an awesome plus! The beds were so comfy (I purchased the same bed the day we got home). The linens were great! The kitchen was stocked with everything you could ask for. Pots, pans, crockpot, awesome tumblers, coozies, paper towels, napkins, tissues, all utensils you need. There were a plethora of K-cups, creamer, tea bags, honey and hot chocolate (We were all surprised). The cupboards were completely stocked with every seasoning you need to cook with. (We had packed our own and were surprised they were provided) A "smores making station" stocked with chocolate, marshmallows, Graham crackers and a "menu" of different types of smores we could make. The large, rustic dining room table provided ample room for many hours of food, fun and games. The master bath also had amenities supplied I would've never expected. For example, there was contact solution and case, deodorant, lotions, toothbrushes, toothpaste, sunscreen and the shower had built-in shampoo, conditioner and shower gel dispensers. The towels and washcloths were brand new and very soft. The laundry room came with a plenty of detergents and softeners. Ironing board and iron. There was a portable propane fire pit which was nice to be able to move to different locations (also brand new). The brand new outdoor

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Host profile image
We love providing a property that enables families and friends to get together in a comfortable space. The property offers plenty to do from hiking and fishing to cornhole, ping pong, and poker, to doing absolutely nothing but sitting and enjoying the views and the wildlife! Food is an integral part of any family/friends gathering so we've stocked the kitchen with every appliance, dish, pot/pan, and utensil you could imagine. There's a beautiful wooden, hand-carved, live-edge table with chairs and bench seating for 8 so there's plenty of room for gathering together. While we're a pet-free property, we do love dogs! We donate 1% of our gross revenue (before taxes and expenses) to the Guernsey County Sherrif's Office to fund a new kennel shelter for unhoused dogs.

Why they chose this property

In 2022, we stayed at a VRBO in Cambridge. We had a great weekend and loved the area. As we drove home, we looked to see if there were any properties for sale that we could turn into a vacation home for ourselves. This property had just gone on the market the Friday before. Based on the pictures, we knew we'd love it here. A few months later and we were the proud owners of this beautiful home!

What makes this property unique

We love nature and the outdoors, and this log cabin is the perfect place for both! There are 10.5 acres to wander around on, two fishing ponds, and this beautifully comfortable home to hunker down inside when the weather is bad. The views from the deck and the sunroom are fantastic. You can sit for hours, listening to the birds and the bullfrogs, and watching the wildlife move through the holler. We regularly see deer and turkey, and have also seen foxes. There are binoculars near the door to help you get that "up close and personal" experience. During football season, there's no better place to watch the Buckeyes play than in the Buckeye Cave!
