Black Bear Lodge: A Rural White Mtns Retreat

Amazing experience with the family. The house was clean and it has everything we need. It was a praceful time.

The other reviewer who said that this property has no curb appeal but has a wonderful interior hit the nail on the head. It looks like a haunted house when you pull up. Even worse, we arrived at night and there are no lights in the driveway and we did not realize you have to go in the back door. But once we were in and settled, we loved it. It had plenty of room for a family of six to stay for a week. We loved the privacy. The kitchen has no frying pans, and any messages I tried to send about it were never answered. It's possible that after Evolve took over the listing the responsiveness level decreased. Thankfully we didn't have any major issues that needed to be addressed! The downstairs bedroom now has a queen bed in it so we had a master bath downstairs and our kids were upstairs. That's to update previous reviews to say there was no master bathroom. We went to the beach in Portland, hiked the presidents, and shopped in Conway. It was a perfect vacation.

This cabin was the perfect place to stay on our first trip to NH. It’s only 20 minutes from the main strip in Conway where we did most of our eating and shopping. It’s only 40 minutes from the trailhead to hike Mt. Washington. When we weren’t out exploring, we spent our time cozy by the wood burning stove. The cabin had all of the amenities we needed including well seasoned wood that smelled amazing when burned. We loved the bear-themed decor around the cabin and truly enjoyed our stay here. We’ll be back!

Grilled some amazing burgers!

Kitchen was fully equipped! House was clean, front porch needed to be cleaned

Great location for going to fair and fall foliage. Rustic charm.

The house was very nice, kitchen was great, rooms were spacious and comfortable

What a hidden gem! This place is so cozy and homey. We floated the Saco River just 15 minutes away, then came back to a warm shower and grilled dinner with a lovely fire in the backyard. Couldn’t have asked for a better stay. We’ll definitely be returning next year. thank you for everything!

Incredible stay at black bear lodge. Perfectly nestled in the trees, the lodge had everything you could need and was very clean. The bedrooms were well appointed and the living space with the log fires in the lounge and kitchen were dreamy. We had a wonderful stay and communication was excellent the entire time. We felt away from it all yet had so much opportunity for walks all around us. The guest book was filled with excellent examples and ideas of things to do and it was evident just how loved the lodge was by every visitor. We would 100% stay here again. It was the highlight of our 2 weeks in the USA.

This was a long awaited, much needed little getaway for my wife and I, our three dogs, and our best friends and their daughter. We had such a great time. Easy proximity to all sorts of activities, excellent communication with all parties, and lots of space to just hang out together and relax. You will not be disappointed! We are excited to go back and grateful for hosts that allow us to bring our doggos when we travel.

The cabin is cozy and well located, with easy access to trails and local attractions. The rustic decor creates a cozy atmosphere, perfect for relaxing. The well-equipped kitchen and fireplace were highlights during our stay. Overall, a great experience for those seeking tranquility and proximity to nature. We will definitely be back!

The cabin was warm and inviting, as described in the summary. We thoroughly enjoyed our time during our stay.

Very nice ?

Property had everything that we needed

Very clean and kept up. Perfect spot.20 minutes from Rupp Arena, 10 minutes from Keeneland and the bourbon trail. It was a plus that all the major distilleries are between 10-30 minute drive.
