The property was absolutely beautiful! The good: location was 20-30mins from each large city, the house was great-plenty of towels and rags, and the host was super communicative. The bad: 1 only mirror in the bathroom, only 1 wine glass and 1 regular glass, 8 coffee cups though, no pans to cook in. There is a blackstone, microwave, toaster, and regular coffee maker though so not a deal breaker! Would absolutely stay again!

The host was very responsive in responding to my dozen messages. It was my first time using VRBO the bad: The oven did not work it took 3 hours for breakfast to cook which we ended up having to toss in the trash. The instructions on how to change it from cold to heat were nowhere to be found and the floor was dirty my child’s feet were dirty from them. Not the greatest experience especially with it being a surprise for my wife for her birthday. The host only wanted to refund me back the 50 late check out fee which I understand people have to make money but I also spent a lot on the stay here. They also said the maintenance guy would come out and have not seen him yet so this review is just a hope they do better. Also I hope they fix the leaking back patio roof and the floor that is soft in living room. It says 3 beds and only 2 beds were there they may have been mentioning the 3rd bed as the swing patio day bed on the back porch but it should be stated clearly so guests can plan accordingly

Black Bear Cabin

It was a very cool place and laid out well for a smaller cabin rental. We really enjoyed the space and family time we were able to have here. We grilled on the porch area and the hot tub area was so nice. Our teen also loved the loft area above the main area. We were very comfortable and enjoyed our stay! Driveway/parking was just a little narrow for my husband’s truck but manageable. We also brought our dog and it took a day or so for us to locate a good walking area for him but just walked on the road that went to the Cabin.

Beautiful Cabin

The cabin was absolutely gorgeous and comfortable for the three of us. The space, though close to another rental and a residence, still felt private enough. Everything was comfortable and welcoming. Only downsides, which didnt impact things in a terribly negative way, were the bathroom door needing some WD40 (open space concept meant no way to dampen the sound in the middle of the night), no bonfire tools so we couldn't properly clear the pit for use (which did contain cigarette butts), and only one hook in the bathroom to hang towels (three adults for a week with no washer and dryer meant being creative about where towels hung to dry). We would definitely stay here again.

Great stay overall

The good.. easy in and out. Easy to find. Nice layout along with lighting. Room for improvement. All light bulbs work and are the correct light bulb for the application. Mini split air filters are cleaned to allow operation of equipment. Hot tub control panel does not operate properly to allow for temp adjustment. With that said it was a great stay and would stay again.

Great Cabin Stay

We had a wonderful stay at this property. Cabin is well built and the kitchen is stocked with all the essentials. The bathroom, and especially the shower were very nice. We really enjoyed the half screened porch + hot tub. Modern smart TVs with all the apps already loaded made for good lounging. Memory foam king size mattress was very comfortable. Here are the negatives, though none of them were significant enough to affect our stay. There's no dishwasher in the kitchen, and also no dish drying rack. There's also no closet, or hanging rack in the cabin. The two minisplit heat/AC units worked fine, but were a bit finnicky and it took us several nights to dial in the right settings. Finally, there is a highway bordering the back side of the property. The traffic was very light or non-existent during our stay, especially overnight. There are also neighbors not too far on either side, but all the windows inside have full curtains. We would definitely recommend this location and would happily stay again given the opportunity.
