Black Bear

"We could really use a peaceful escape—somewhere simple, relaxing, and free from distractions. A cozy little cottage in the woods sounds perfect, where we can unwind without tasks, to-do lists, or chores. Ideally, it would be near a pond or hiking trails, offering the chance to explore nature or even play games in an open field. The space should be non-smoking and pet-free, ensuring a clean and tranquil retreat. A grill and a fire pit would make it even better, allowing us to roast marshmallows and enjoy quiet evenings beneath the stars. If possible, finding a spot adjacent to a national park with hiking trails would be incredible. And affordability is key—if we could make it work for three nights, we’d return truly refreshed. If you come across this hidden gem, let me know!"
