Family Getaway

We loved the cozy cabin! The open concept allowed to us to all spend time together, from grandma baking cookies in the kitchen to the toddler running around in the living. Everything was incredibly comfortable and perfectly suited to our needs.

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!

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.

Spent the weekend with my family for Moms 50th birthday! The place was perfect for the amount of people we had and location was beautiful! The carpet and floors needed a good vacuum when we got there but otherwise clean and everything was as described!

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!

BEAR-y cute

Loved our short weekend stay at BlackBear Hideaway! We celebrated a friends weekend with 5 couples. The place was cleanly, very cozy, and ideal for such a group. The property owners definitely put a lot of thought and care into the place. Expectations for check out/ cleaning prior to departure were clearly delineated. Would definitely recommend bringing your own laundry soap and hot tub towel!
