Thank you for your review! We're excited to hear you had a great stay and that there was plenty of room. It's wonderful to know our management team was responsive. We hope to welcome you back soon!
We enjoyed our time here so much my kids didn't want to leave, they loved sleeping in the loft and playing in the kids cave. The house was clean and very well decorated. We wished we had longer than a weekend to enjoy all of the amenities but hopefully we can come back again to the same as the layout and rooms worked great for our group and the location was perfect close to everything. The hot tub was a favorite as well, maybe that's what made the showers only seem cold or maybe we needed to give the water more time to warm up with the cold nights/mornings but overall it was a wonderful stay! Thank you!

ASHLEY!!! This review just made my day! I love Black Bear Lodge so much...The Kid Cave is my favorite too! We would love to have you and your family as a guest again! Thanks so much for staying with us!
Amazing experience. House was clean. Very Good location.
Recommend for large groups.
Corner store at 5 min drive.
No cellphone network so just be prepared( att n Tmob as far I experienced). Wi-Fi was weak, maybe because of bad climate not sure.

Tracey, thank you for this great review of Black Bear Lodge! We are so happy you enjoyed your stay and loved everything. We recently installed a filtration system for Black Bear's water, so the sulfur smell is no longer around! Thank you again!
Property was exactly as advertised. We very much enjoyed our stay. Thanks!
