Cozy Cabin in Perfect Location.

My husband and I enjoyed our six days at this luxury cabin. Such a fun, cozy place. It had everything we needed including a private hot tub. Many considerate extras provided. And the slope was just across the street. Being within walking distance to the upper village made this the perfect location.

Perfect ski-in/ski-out cabin

Lovely log cabin next to chair lift 3! We skied 4 out of 4 days just by walking out the door. Everything we needed was provided. Super nice place with great communication from Vacay Whitefish. We took the SNOW bus or drove to Whitefish most nights for dinner and had pizza delivered one night. Super comfortable cabin, warm and cozy. Perfect for the three of us (mom, dad and teenage son). Made for a very comfortable and special spring break we will always remember!

Cozy and Clean

Such an amazing place to stay. The cabin was so cozy, well decorated, fitted with all the necessities, and was extremely clean. Plenty of fans were provided to help circulate air, so it never got too hot or cold. The cabin is close to hiking trails for during off season and is the easiest drive into Whitefish/Glacier Park. We would love to stay here again and highly recommend.

Nice Cabin, well located

My son and I stayed a few nights in this cabin. Great location, 20 second walk to the snow to ski down to chair 3, two minute walk to the Village. The cabin is small but cozy. Bathrooms have nice finishes, decorated well. Cabin was clean and kept up nice. Overall we enjoyed our stay and think that the value for our money was very good.

We visited in August and the property was a cozy place to stay. The hot tub was only a few steps out the back door which was great! Beautiful views out the front door. Only negative is the local restaurants and bars close at 8 or 9 so plan accordingly.

Nice little cabin

Cabin was nice. I don't think there was an iron if you need one. Hot tub appearance wasn't too hot. Setup of cabin was nice. Bathrooms were good and clean. Top bed in loft was very firm, be aware. Be aware of all the extra fees from vrbo to cleaning etc. adds up to be pretty expensive.

An Ok Place

We liked this cabin because it was clean and everything was in good working conditions. Driving 12-15 min to Whitefish every time for dining or shopping, however, was not what we expected. Walking to town was not an option, since the cabin is located way uphill in a ski resort. Overall, we liked our stay.

Perfect mountain getaway

We had a wonderful stay! The location couldn't have been better for us. Skiing out the front door and easy walking to necessities. The SNOW bus was convenient and provided transportation to town so we didn't need a car. The cabin was perfect for just the two of us but would have easily accommodated another couple or our kids as well. We fell in love with Whitefish (both the mountain and the town) and will definitely be back. Thank you!

Nice Cabin, Pics Need Updated

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Black Bear Cabin #3. The cabin was exactly what we needed while hiking in Glacier and Yellowstone for a week. Unfortunately, there was construction behind our cabin with tall new condos or townhomes directly behind us; while the photos presented on VRBO, there are 0 buildings behind the cabin to obstruct your view of the wilderness. From the front porch, you can see the mountains during the day and stars lining the sky in the evening.

Great Place and Location!

This place was so convenient to the hill and made for super easy skiing to start and end the day. The cabin is so cute and has everything needed for a great stay. So many nice touches with blankets, etc. which made our stay very comfortable. We made breakfast every morning before we headed out and even had a couple of dinners at the place after skiing. Having a grill was great and we loved the hot tub that was just ours. Awesome to plop in the hot tub after a day of skiing! The views to the ski hill were great and fun to check the hill before heading out. Definitely would stay here again!

Fantastic stay in Whitefish!

My family enjoyed staying at Black Bear cabins so very much! The property was very comfortable, allowed for space for my three teenage kids, as well as my wife and I. The hot tub behind the cabin was very comfortable, and was used every night that we stayed there! Overall, the cabin was excellent. There is some construction going on behind the cabin, but not actively. It just changed the outlook behind the cabin itself, which was not that big of a deal. I would highly recommend this cabin for anyone looking to stay in or around Whitefish, Montana.

Black Bear #2

Management was very responsive. Cute property, easy to access hiking and biking on the mountain. Had everything we needed, but kitchen could use a refresh. Pans were quite old, etc. Porch light was broken and outdoor chairs were bent and uncomfortable, but generally the property was well maintained. Construction was ongoing the first two days of our stay directly behind cabin, but stopped by the weekend.

Nice Cabin

This is a nice place, we enjoyed the location and the cabin. However, this listing fails to show updated pictures where new houses tower over the cabin. It feels like the cabin is in someone's backyard. You can easily see into the windows of the new place. We also had some cleaning issues but the staff was apologetic and quick to respond. To no fault of the vacation rental, it is important to note that there is road work on road to the cabin. This adds about 20 minutes to the commute down the mountain as a pilot car has to guide you up and down. If you're spending most of your time at the ski resort this is a perfect location.
