Amazing place to stay! Attention to detail is the name of the game with this cabin! We cerebrated our family Christmas here and everything was just perfect! The cabin was decorated perfectly for Christmas, all Santa had to do was drop off the presents. We had everything we needed in the wonderfully stocked kitchen to prepare a full holiday meal. We will definitely be coming back! Thank you!

Great place

Great house that was close to the lake and trails for family fun. House was clean and the owners were available when needed. Unfortunately we had a tree fall on our van during a bad storm. The owners and maintenance were easy to get a hold of and able to get everything all cleaned up for us to still enjoy our stay. Thank you! Our family had lots of fun.

Awesome vacation stay!

Our family had such a relaxing stay at Black Bear Hideaway! We were impressed with the overall cleanliness& also how well stocked it was with the various supplies (trash bags, hand soap, dishwasher pods etc.). The only thing we noticed was somewhat of a lack of silverware (mostly small spoons) but it wasn’t really an inconvenience& we made do. The porches were perfect for relaxing& visiting& we all enjoyed the swings& rocker gliders. Thank you for making our getaway such a pleasant one!

Spring Break in Hocking Hills

Our family could not have had a better time at Black Bear Hideaway. The kids ages 5-8 absolutely loved air hockey and foosball and coming home to relax in the hot tub after hiking. The house is close to all the trails. We also loved watching the deer in the woods behind the property. The house was clean and had everything we needed! I had one question regarding check out procedures and I got a quick response from the host. Thank you for sharing your home!
