About this cabin

Black Bear is a one-bedroom cabin with a king-size bed and a separate living and kitchen area — giving couples or small families the breathing room they need. The sofa in the living room converts to a queen sleeper, making it perfect for two children or one extra adult.

Just a short walk from the cabin lies a three-acre stocked pond, where guests can spend lazy hours fishing or strolling along the dam. The surrounding 44 wooded acres are a living wildlife corridor — deer, wild turkey, red foxes, pileated woodpeckers, and migratory waterfowl are everyday sights. Lucky guests might even spot "Fraidy," the resident bobcat.

Step out onto your private deck to soak in the hot tub under an open sky, or settle in by the warm and inviting fireplace when the evenings cool down. The full kitchen, smart TV, and Roku streaming mean every comfort of home is right here — whenever you want them.
