About this property

Comfy, Family Friendly, Cabin - Hot Tub, Fishing, Hiking, Wildlife Great Views!

This spacious, inviting cabin is packed with charm, comfort, and entertainment for all ages. The walkout Buckeye Cave opens directly to the hot tub, patio, backyard fire pit, and tranquil fishing ponds—perfect for lazy mornings with coffee or starry nights by the fire.

Comfort & Connection in Every Corner
Cozy up in the spacious living room, featuring a stunning wood-burning fireplace and sweeping views of the surrounding forest and ponds. Whether you're swapping stories, playing games, or simply enjoying the peace, this space is made for togetherness.

The hand-carved dining table comfortably seats 8 adults with a bench and five chairs—perfect for family dinners, laughter-filled breakfasts, or celebratory meals with friends.

The fully stocked kitchen makes cooking for a crowd easy, with every pot, pan, and appliance you might need—including a large refrigerator, electric glass-top stove, French Press, Keurig and carafe coffee makers, rice cooker, crock pot, and so much more.

Space for Everyone to Rest & Recharge
The Bear’s Den (owner’s suite) offers a king-size bed and private en-suite bath—ideal for parents or grandparents who need a little extra quiet.

The Bullfrog Room and Heron’s Nest each feature a comfy queen bed and beautiful views—plus extra space for an air mattress, if needed.

The loft is a favorite for kids and teens, with a queen bed, cozy bean bag, rocking chair, and 32” Smart TV with DirecTV and Blu-ray/DVD.

Downstairs in The Buckeye Cave, you’ll find a full den and game room combo that’s a dream for both kids and adults. There's a full bar, darts, ring toss, a 55” Smart HDTV, Blu-ray/DVD player with library, board games, books, puzzles, ping pong, cornhole, ladder toss, and even a putting green.

Outdoor Adventure, Relaxation & Family Fun
Step right outside to soak in the 7-person hot tub, gather around the fire pit for s’mores, or cast a line in your private pond with provided fishing gear. With plenty of outdoor seating—camp chairs for both kids and adults, hammock chairs, and chaise lounges—everyone can find their perfect spot.

There’s ample space indoors and out to spread out, unwind, and enjoy quality time. Hike, play games, share stories around the fire, or simply watch the kids chase frogs by the pond while grandparents sip tea in the sunroom.

Whether you're reconnecting with extended family or laughing late into the night with lifelong friends, Black Bear Holler offers something for everyone. Come create the kind of memories you'll talk about for years to come.

About the host

Hosted by Greg

Host profile image
We are a family-owned and operated vacation rental. We are not a nameless/faceless corporation, only concerned with maximizing profit margins. Our top priority is providing a comfortable and fun stay for our guests. We love sharing our home where families and friends can get together in a comfortable space. Black Bear Holler offers plenty of activities from hiking and fishing to cornhole, ping pong, and poker, to doing absolutely nothing but sitting and enjoying the views and 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 Sheriff'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! We still love staying here ourselves, and do so whenever we can. This gives us a unique perspective as a guest, and helps us identify opportunities for improvement. We welcome your ideas from your own experience and look forward to hearing from you!

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!
