Beautiful cabin but needs a little extra effort
Good place but no little extras for the price. Small issues needed fixed for the amount paid: cabin at 78 degrees at height of the hot and humid summer and my asthmatic husband wheezing for 12 hours until it finally cooled down and needing fans at full blast to make it bearable; shower in main suite didn’t drain well; tub in main suite didn’t stay stoppered; right, front stove burner didn’t work. Beautiful property and cabin but for the price, they need to maintain the small things better. I have stayed at higher priced places previously and it is the small, extra things that make the stay special and worth it. They need to put the extra effort to make it worth it.

Family trip to Hocking Hills
We enjoyed our stay at black bear lodge. The cabin was very secluded and quiet. We enjoyed using the hot tub in the evening after a long hike. The cabin was very spacious and clean. We would stay here again!

More than I expected
Everything from location, the fact that we were 20 mins or less to stores (Antique Mall), the hot tub, and being able to sit with family and cook for family was even better. We needed to bring nothing but food.

Really nice stay
This home is very nice and had everything needed to make our stay enjoyable, comfortable and convenient. We had a small family gathering for the holidays and enjoyed family meals, visiting and card playing each evening. We had our two dogs with us and there was plenty of yard space for them to explore. The location is great, very peaceful and quiet but close enough to both Nelsonville and Athens. The check in was fast and easy, but you have to stop in their local store/office to get checked in prior to going to the home and again to drop off the home key after your stay, a minor inconvenience. The home was very clean inside throughout and had all the needed amenities. The interior is well updated and all the wood work gives it a rustic cabin feel and it’s well furnished. It was decorated for Christmas time. The hot tub was functional but has wear and tear, we didn’t use it because it didn’t appear recently well cleaned. Not a big disappointment because we weren’t counting on using it. There were some dog piles between the pool and hot tub that had been missed or ignored by previous visitors. Overall we enjoyed our time at the home and would recommend it for a stay in the area, we would stay here again. Thank you First Choice

Beautiful cabin, very private
This cabin is gorgeous and extremely spacious! And SO CLEAN!! It's exactly as listed...the hot tub worked great, the kitchen had everything we needed to prepare all our meals. We really enjoyed the fireplace and they will deliver firewood so it is waiting for you upon arrival which was very convenient. Gorgeous master bath. Really big yard, nice patio area. We really enjoyed our stay. If I had to nitpick about anything it would be that I wished it was self check in with a lock box for convenience....with the days shorter and check in after 4 by the time we went to the place to pick up our key it was dark and finding the cabin wasn't easy. As a matter of fact we accidentally pulled into the driveway of a nearby property and an older woman came out with her arms crossed so i rolled the window down and said "I'm sorry, I think we're a little lost" to which she loudly replied "I don't give a s___ get the f___ off my land!" So that was pleasant....just don't make that mistake and you'll be fine lol

Black bear lodge ups and downs
This was a nice house for our children and grandchildren. But the beds were not very comfortable for adults. This house was not very accomadating for my wife and I because we use walker's and the steps and bathrooms and doors were too narrow. We have found most all VRBO houses are not handicap friendly. Thanks Fred and Pat Surface

My family and I made a short trip to Hocking Hills for a few days and stayed at the Black Bear Lodge. Everything was as described and it's a beautiful home and property. The pool and hot tub were great and it was great that we were able to take our dogs with us. We would definitely recommend the Black Bear Lodge to others!

Great family getaway
Myself, my daughter & son in law and their daughters stayed in this cabin for a quick family getaway for 2 nights. The cabin was furnished so nice with very comfortable beds and smart tvs in each of the 4 bedrooms. The granddaughters absolutely loved having our own pool and I loved having the hot tub. It was a great 2 nights and I would definitely recommend the cabin to everyone looking for an amazing vacation rental.

As advertised
Place was as advertised. Everything was clean and pretty well kept. We did have mice in the cabin which we totally understand can happen. Doesn’t make it any less disappointing. Hot tub was great, pool could have used a vacuuming but we enjoyed it all the same. I would recommend if staying here to bring a comfortable outside chair with you. I don’t mind a picnic table but I can’t sit and relax on one. And maybe a pop up tent to provide some shade or shelter if it rains. Overall I would probably stay again.
