It was so convenient to Manistee and the Little River Casino

This was our second time staying at The Black Bear Den. We will be back next year, maybe even this fall. They offer several outdoor games to play. Definitely recommend it to anyone. The Bear Den is the best room.

Cute unit but SO SMALL. Knees touch wall if on toilet shower too small for a man, middle of nowhere, small frig won't freeze ice, hard mattress, no bar shower soap, no light where frig and microwave was, Dishnet buffing couldn't watch anything, TV tiny, and no ironing board. **Excellent housekeeper Sandy.
