Disliked: Cleanliness
The cabin was dirty: filthy mattresses, pillows, rug, mold under the sinks, rock holding up cart in the center of the kitchen, dirty dishes and silverware in drawers and caninets. The master bedroom window had no window covering and the upstairs bathroom was missing a chunk of flooring. The refrigerator broke in the first few days of our stay and the host misled us to believe someone would be coming to repair it and didn't respond when no one showed for the appointment. He took over a day to respond. I had to secure another cabin due to the refrigerator and the mold causing my teenager's asthma to flare up. Lots of maintenance is needed to ensure this space reflects what is advertised and that it is a healthy space for people to inhabit.

Several things wrong with the house.1 bedroom had no window covering.We had to hang a sheet for privacy.The kitchen island has a rock to hold up one corner.The upstairs bathroom flooring is torn up by the bathtub.The rug in the living room is stained and smells.Night stand drawer is broken.Overall the house wasn’t clean. You get what you pay for.

Great cabin! The bedrooms are very spacious with comfortable beds. Owner does have to go on and fix the shower head and the tv upstairs. Besides that, everything is great.

Great quiet place to stay!

Everything was excellent and process was easy. Only little "complaint" was that the cooking pans/trays were a bit under cleaned.... No big deal as there was plenty of dish soap and we did the next group who stays there a favor and cleaned them up to a sparkle! Would not hesitate to stay here again and again!!

We had a great time!

Black Bear is a very nice cabin. We were all very pleased and enjoyed it tremendously. The cabin is clean and comfortable. The amenities are all there. Access to the Lake (which is a big deal). Everything you need is there. WiFi is excellent, TV and multiple streaming services available. The decor has a fun vibe (wild mushroom hunting) is all around. Beds are comfortable and the master has its own air conditioning. Kitchen has lots of utensils and other things for cooking, big new toaster, microwave and a large coffee maker. No dishwasher, but that’s not a huge issue for me. It gets warm in the summer and there are a few fans and an in wall air conditioner that really cools the main living area. Small but works like a champ. Deck is nice, didn’t use the bbq, but it’s there. You might want to have some lawn chairs if you are having a few people over. It’s not a huge place, but the four of us were comfortable in the main living area. Great value and we enjoyed it!

Nice cabin close to Arnold and Bear Valley

My two kids and dog stayed in this cabin for two nights. It was easy to find and located very close to local snow activity areas. The cabin was quite spacious, we only needed one floor, but it could easily accommodate more people. The kitchen had all the necessary basics. There was a nice hill on the side for sledding and the heating system worked well. We especially enjoyed the large kitchen table. Host was quick to reply to a message I sent.

The house is super cute, great location, quiet peaceful neighborhood in the woods! The only thing was the house was not very clean dust and cobwebs on the bedrooms, the door knobs were sticky, but otherwise a super cute place.

Cabin in the Woods

It was a nice property. The drive up was the most difficult pill to swallow from all the swerves. Some appliances looked damaged and were not replaced, but were not necessities either. Overall it fit all our needs. Thank you.
