Black Bear Review

Loved the cleanliness of this property and the location. Will definitely go back to this property again. It was quiet and away from everything, but close enough to Nelsonville to run into town if needed. We recommend this if you just want some quiet time away or it would be great for a large group since there is plenty of space.

Stunning

This property exceeded expectations! Huge and spacious, very clean, and all the supplies/amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet and secluded. My friends and I loved to stare up at the stars in the hot tub after our long days of hiking in Hocking Hills.

Great price, nice location

I was not a fan of the check in process, would have preferred to simply go directly to the property instead of 15 minutes away to check in and out. The hot tub wasn’t the cleanest and the stove was iffy. But overall I would stay again due to price and location.

We had the opportunity to spend a couple of days with our grandchildren and we chose black bear lodge in Nelsonville. The place was everything and more that was listed on VRBO.Everything was spotless, plenty of towels for everyone, the bedrooms were spacious and everyone had their own room. Family of 6 would definitely rent this property again. Thank you, the Carbone family!!
