We bought Black Bear Ridge because we wanted a place our own family would love coming back to, year after year. Every detail here came from asking one question: what would make this trip easier for the adults — and unforgettable for the kids? We're a quick text away during your stay. Welcome to the cabin. ✦ WHAT'S ALREADY HERE ✦ Pack lighter — we've got the basics covered: → All linens, bath towels, and hot tub towels → Shampoo, conditioner, body wash, soap → Spices, coffee pods, paper towels, trash bags → Washer, dryer, detergent → Propane grill on the deck → Strong, reliable Wi-Fi (great for remote-work days too) → Booster seat, kid dinnerware, board games ✦ GOOD TO KNOW ✦ 🕓 Check-in 4 PM / Check-out 10 AM (late checkout $50/hr if unapproved) 🚗 Parking for 4–5 vehicles, flat asphalt driveway 🚫 No pets 🎥 Exterior security cameras only 🐻 You may see bears and other wildlife — admire from a distance, never feed 🔥 Firewood available at nearby stores 🔑 Address and entry code sent 2 days before arrival The hot tub is drained, cleaned, and refilled before every single guest.
