Welcome to Black Bear Cabin, a charming barn-style retreat with wrap around decks! Nestled on 20 acres of breathtaking land, this cozy getaway invites you to explore towering 60ft rock walls, lush treed hills, and two sparkling creeks that converge at the heart of the property.

The chef in your group will adore the 4x3 window above the sink, offering stunning views of the woods or a glimpse of the kids playing on the deck.

Downstairs, the walk-out basement is a haven for fun, featuring a pool table, a cozy lounging area with a Smart TV, and a washer and dryer for added convenience. Step outside to the deck, where the hot tub and rocking chairs beckon, surrounded by wooded hills teeming with deer and natural beauty.

Hands Down The Best Cabin

We absolutely loved everything about this cabin. Beds were comfy. Bathrooms were amazing. Hot Tub was the best we have ever been in. The fireplace was perfect. The mostly wrapped around Porches were amazing. The view into the trees and the sound of nature was amazing. We enjoyed the Pool table. The inside style of the cabin was beautiful. The kitchen was so spacious and we loved the large Island. Kitchen was Fully stocked with EVERYTHING we needed when we cooked. Even stuff we forgot we needed they had availble (Ex: Spices, Oil & sugar) We for sure will be returning!!!!!!!!

Great cabin

The cabin was gorgeous, clean, and well stocked. We actually thought it was prettier in real life than in the pictures. The towels, blankets, pots and pans, and even the TP were high end and made for a very comfortable stay that felt like staying in a home and not a rental.

Beautiful Cabin!

We had such a wonderful time and will definitely return to the area and rent this home! Everything was absolutely perfect, even more beautiful than described, and what the pictures can show. The house is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need. I mean everything!! Not like your typical rental place! Wow we’ve been spoiled. The attention to detail to make the place clean, relaxing, and downright tranquil, the second to none. The owners have gone to great lengths to make this relaxing and comfortable. They were very helpful when we ask questions, very quick to respond. As mentioned we definitely return!

Quick Getaway

My family and I spent a quick weekend at Black Bear while attending a wedding in Hocking Hills. I wish we had more time to enjoy everything the cabin had to offer! The cabin is the perfect place to relax and enjoy the beautiful scenery. The host was very nice and responsive and even delivered firewood for us so we didn't have to bring our own. When we visit again, I'll definitely check to see if Black Bear is available.
