Pristine gem close for hikes and sightseeing, yet with a remote feel. Comfortable bed, clean, perfect kitchen and living room flow! The porch offers an amazing beginning and end to each day! The landscaping is peaceful and serene despite the proximity to the road. Thank you Melanie for your VIP treatment, although confident it is integral to The Black Bear Lodge! Loved our stay. Thank you for a memorable few days amongst these trying times.

We had a wonderful stay at Black Bear Lodge! Melanie made communication easy. The cottage was clean and had all we needed, even coffee and creamer! The bed was comfortable and the cottage was convenient. We look forward to staying again soon!
