The cabin was great and was the perfect size for our family of 4. Hot tub was in good, working condition and clean! No cell service for calls or texts, but that was ok with us!You bring your own towels and sheets, which again wasn't an issue for us!Would definitely recommend to others!

Hot tub was draining due to a pipe issue. Property owner's delay in communication caused frustration. I ended up running to hardware store 20 minutes away and getting tools to repair it myself. Only other things to note are the bathroom door wont stay closed and the stairs to downstairs are very steep.

Black bear lodge was the perfect home away from home for our family of 5 (kiddos age range 6 years to 9 months). Check in couldn't have been easier, even for a first time vrbo guest! Communication with Cory was quick and helpful. We appreciated the extra amenities such as coffee and coffee filters, shampoo and conditoner, condiments and butter, paper towels, dish soap and sponge. My favorite part was the view, without a doubt, I could have sat on the deck our whole visit.

The cabin was very charming and the view while sitting in the hot tub was lovely. It was nice to have a fire pit as well. The kitchen was advertised as fully stocked which I would not say was accurate. If you want to do much cooking, you need to bring your own supplies.

Beautiful private cabin

The cabin was private and secluded which made it very peaceful. Great view and inside the cabin was nice. My only complaint was there was no rugs anywhere and we didn’t bring extra towels so the bathroom floor and entries would get wet and slippery. Would definitely stay here again though!!

Nice getaway

It was a nice quiet property that was close to the hiking trails and only 20 minutes from town with nice restaurants to enjoy. The cabin was as advertised and was very peaceful and offered plenty of things to do if necessary. We would be a repeat guest if we return to the area

Nice winter getaway

A comfortable cabin located close to the Yellow River State Forest. Plenty of room for 4 or 6 people (we were a group of 4). Two roomy bedrooms plus a loft. Note that the lower bedroom has a queen-size bed, not king as listed in the description. We did some hiking at the Yellow River State Forest and Effigy Mounds National Monument. McGregor and Marquette are two nearby river towns that are also nice to visit.

Cabin was beautiful. Location was private. Check in was nerve wracking because we didn’t receive any check in instructions beforehand. Tried to contact property manager but never heard back throughout the duration of our stay. Luckily? cabin was left unlocked otherwise we would be SOL. There definitely aren’t two king sized beds but the place did have enough space for 4 adults and 3 small kids. Despite hiccups at the beginning we had a good time.

Nice cabin that could use a few upgrades

Really nice cabin overall. Was surprised that the main floor had no window coverings - cabin is pretty secluded, but a bit more privacy would have been nice.Hot tub was a great temperature, but only about 20% of the jets seemed to be doing anything. Also was a bit of a pain to bring our own bedding and towels (we had to buy sheets as we didn't have standard king sheets) - there was supposedly a discount for bringing our own, but I don't know what the price would have been anyway, and there were still a good amount of fees.Overall though, it is a nice clean place for a getaway!

The only thing missing from this cabin was hospitality and a welcoming host. The listing stated that a bundle of wood could be delivered for a fee, which we confirmed with the host beforehand. It was delivered 24 hours into our 2 night stay, wet, snow covered and unusable. We are still waiting for a refund for the wood that we left in the spot it was delivered. Directions on check-in before our stay were not given- I hadn't heard back from the host after repeated messages. From other reviews, I realized this wasn't the first time that the host had not given check-in directions and was hoping that after our 4 hour nail biting drive, we would have access. Thankfully we did! The cabin and hot tub were warm and comfortable, it is a beautiful cabin, situated in a lovely setting and we didn't want to leave at the end of our stay. Unfortunately, we will not be booking again. For the price, it was not worth the hassle- bringing our own sheets, towels, blankets, kitchen towels- it was a lot to pack and set-up upon arrival and made it so we didn't have room in our car to bring wood. I also want to note the lack of hospitality- household items one would expect to see at this cabin, for example a lighter for the fire, a tank of gas for the BBQ, many of the doors and windows did not have working locks. We rent cabins often as a retreat from city life- not once have we entered a cabin that did not leave a few logs of wood for the first fire or a working coffee maker.
