Have never done this before n the checkbin was a tad confusing. Glad there were people back enjoying a fire. They explained how to get the entrance code. Other than that it was a great stay. Nice accommodation

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.

Super cute room, comfy beds, clean, with all of the extras we didn't know we needed! Loved the thoughtfulness that has been put into this place! It was a nice surprise to see snacks waiting for us, we enjoyed a bag of microwave popcorn with our movie.

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.
