    The driveway is all on flat terrain. NO 4 WHEEL DRIVE NEEDED!!Cabins are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected with all linens washed and exchanged out after each stay by our cleaning crew.

    I am confident you will enjoy your stay and find yourself daydreaming about when you will be able to return to Black Bear Cabin for another wonderful, relaxing vacation. WELLSTON 🏡 is a small rural town . Cabin Road takes you straight into town . (3 miles)
    Where you will find Restaurants🍴🍔🍟🍻 , Grocery Stores & Gas Stations⛽️ . Bowling Alley 🎳& Skating Rink👯. Lake Alma State Park is a 7 min drive ..Swimming🏊Fishing 🎣 & Boating🚣
    Most enjoy getting up early Saturday & traveling to the Homestead Country Market / Bakery🍩 ( just across town ) Hocking Hills State Parks is a 30 minute drive for endless hiking👞 in the 6 caves.
    I recommend PATIO GRUB & SUBS in Wellston for pizza & subs.🍕
    Scotties for a Great Sport bar !!!
    Arch & Eddies is a favorite in Jackson for lunch & dinner .

Ideal location in the heart of Jackson County. This was our second visit, and it was just as lovely this year as it was last year. The cabin is spacious yet cozy, and is a perfect place to settle in after a day of hiking and sightseeing. Everything is provided for a comfortable and enjoyable stay.

Wonderful Week Away

Perfectly located between Hocking Hills area and Jackson. Great places for hiking, including Lake Katharine. Loved the Amish bakery (thank you to the host for recommending 4-Mile Bakery) and relaxing in the hot tub. Sitting on the front porch, we heard no less than 40 different types of birds on our phone app. The host was very gracious and even brought over lanterns before a storm hit in case the electricity went out (it did not). Highly recommended.

Perfect For Us

This was the perfect spot for my wife and our six-year old. In full disclosure, I didn't realize where we were in relation to Hocking Hills which was our main destination for our getaway but the 40-min drive to and from was scenic and easy to make. The cabin itself was beautiful and we got to experience it during warm weather and fairly cold weather thanks to an ever-changing Ohio fall. Highly recommended!

Not what expected

The property is located in between two other cabins one being the owners and the other rentals . The cabin in the back had a old man that kept staring at me and my friend when we went outside so we could only play in the front yard . The owners didn’t really bother us just didn’t know they was going to be that close watching . The fire pit is far away from the cabin it’s by the other cabin in the back so we felt like the other cabin was watching us bc their window was next to the fire pit . Pictures are deceiving .It did smell good and was clean with a nice tub lol just not what we expected from the pictures

Place was clean. Cabin was as described. However, I wish the hot tub wasn’t on the front porch. There are no obstructions between this cabin and the owners. Was expecting a little more isolation. But overall the cabin was very quaint and comfortable.
