Beautiful little cabin

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay. We adored the cabin and the deer nearby. The local people were so nice and helpful. We did the 5 and 1/2 mile gorge hike at Whetstone and visited Witaker Park. Our stay was everything we hoped it would be. Highly recommend!!!

Black bear is lovely

This was our third time at the cabin. It is lovely—spotlessly clean and a great place to stay while visiting family! You do have to be careful of water use because it’s a reserve tank and not a well, but we have never run out of water. Bonnie is super responsive to any questions!

Rustic, cozy and beautiful

Thank you again Bonnie! We absolutely loved staying at Black Bear Cabin. The cabin was decorated just absolutely adorable! It had everything you might need available right there. It was clean, comfortable and just so cozy. It was nice and private with no one else too close, just the deer passing through. There was no issues at all there. Just a wonderfully perfect experience. I would definitely recommend staying there. We would love to stay again!! Thanks a million

Cutest Little Cabin!!

We had a wonderful time—check in was a breeze, and the cabin is lovely and comfortable, and quiet (except for the wildlife, which is what we were there for! As is mentioned, the water is from a tank, so we were very conservative with water use and had no problem!

Great place very comfortable

I rented the cabin for a snowmobile trip. The trail is 1.3 miles away. The cabin is beautiful. My only complaints were, I was not aware of water needing to be reserved. This made for no long hot shower after the ride. I don’t recall it in the description but I have been known to skip finer details. The only door in and out did not open all the way making it difficult to get in and out with gear. The positives the cabin was clean, the ambiance was perfect, there was two sources of heat. It was super quiet. No one was using the other cabins surrounding. There were some dishes to use and the kitchen was fully functioning. I plan on going back again.

Fireplace?

Bonnie was excellent and the Cabin Was very Very nice! But I specifically booked it because of the Fireplace was listed as an amenity! The day before check her after contacted Bonnie she sent us the information for Checking in and included that the Fireplace was not operating because of a cracked Chimney which she couldn’t get fixed because of Winter.....I understand things happen but that should be removed as an Amenity. Upon further investigation I read some reviews that the Fireplace didn’t work when other people were there in 2019....So this has been an ongoing problem! Bonnie was a great Host and when we had a problem with the heater staying in she contacted me back immediately and was ready to send someone to help!! Just Air in the lines because after relighting it about 5 times it was fine the rest of the Stay....Please remove Fireplace from Amenities until It gets fixed because that was one of the main Amenities I Was looking for and Was Very Disappointed.

It was ok

On paper the listing looks great there are a couple flaws though. 1. The property manager has no way of knowing how much water is in the tank, it's only a 300 gallon tank, we ran out of water the first night they came over the next day to fill it. So someway to check water level would be nice I would use a pvc pipe that you can measure it with. The fireplace is advertised as it doesn't work that is true I asked the owner if it works she said yes we used it one night I was not able to get the damper open the whole way which is kind of needed. There was no firewood when we got there stacked inside there was a little bit outside we had to go get it ourselves which isn't too bad they provide it for you in a big pile still an inconveince since the ad says there is some there. Overall the cabin was warm and cozy what we were looking for but it has some flaws the major one is not knowing how much water you have left. It was an ok stay would definitely do with some updates.

Relaxing place ever!

Black Bear Cabin did not disappoint. It was very cozy and romantic for our anniversary celebration. Bonnie our host was fantastic. She responded immediately if I had a question. The cabin is somewhat secluded. We were lucky that the time of year had close neighbors not around. I would suggest a new mattress and better bedding. The sofa futon mattress/cushion also needs update. We sat in the two chairs that were more comfortable than the futon couch. We will definitely revisit this cabin again.

Fantastic in every aspect

It is hard to truly know what you are going to get when you book something online based on pictures and reviews. This place did not come close to disappointing. Clean, cozy, quaint, and peaceful are just a few words to describe this cabin in the woods. It was everything I was hoping for. Campfires ate night and many hiking trails close by to keep us busy during the day. Bonnie was extremely responsive and helpful whenever needed. She also took the time to drop of a rack for grilling on the fireplace. Not necessary but appreciated. Grade = A+++++
