Black Bear

We enjoyed our stay at Black Bear cabin very much. It was very clean and well appointed. The hosts were very kind and personable and answered all of our questions and took care of all our needs in a timely manner. We enjoyed fishing in the pond and actually caught 4 fish! Our only complaint is that it was farther out of town than we realized it would be. Nevertheless, we enjoyed the drive in and out of the site. It is a beautiful rustic area and provided a great few days in the mountains without the crowds and traffic of larger places. Altogether enjoyable!

Cabin was very clean and cozy! Love the little treats that was left for us. Host was very attentive! Will be renting again.

We were looking for a quiet place to go and getaway. We found it! Black Bear was in a very quiet location, very clean, had everything we needed and a very comfortable bed! We ate at the Elevation Bistro and had a delicious dinner!

My husband and I stayed in Black Bear cottage/cabin as a romantic getaway to celebrate our 22nd wedding anniversary. From the moment we sent a message with a question about the listing Ray & Bobbie were so accommodating. We asked for a little bit of an earlier check-in and it wasn't a problem. The drive getting to the cabin was very scenic and trust me when I say you are in the middle of nowhere haha! We use Verizon cell service and had SOS most of the time but there was rare moments when we got 1 bar. Which was enough to call and check on the kids back home. That's honestly the only downside to the stay/location is not having WiFi. My youngest is used to facetiming me whenever we aren't together and we couldn't this weekend. But when we go to Fort Payne we got service. This isn't deterring us from coming back though. The peace that just hugs you the moment you arrive and throughout our stay was indescribable. Samson and Lyza(the dogs) were so friendly and came for visits and treats were the sweetest dogs and they are just as happy to be there as any guest! The cottage/cabin was the cutest thing. Ray & Bobbie put such a person welcoming touch throughout. It was evident they wanted you to not only be comfortable during your stay but they wanted you to have an experience. They prepared the firepit for us. Had outdoor sitting everywhere. Super comfortable outdoor furniture on your private screened in porch. Amazing furniture inside. The bed is chefs kiss!!

Loved the cabin. It was so peaceful. We loved the dogs visiting with us in the mornings and at night around the pond. Thanks for working with us on our arrival time.

This was our 3rd time staying at The Black Bear Cabin! As always it was fabulous!! Ray and Bobbie are amazing host!! We cant wait to return for our 4th stay!! Highly recommend

This is our second time to stay at this wonderful, relaxing cabin. The outside to the inside screams relaxation. This time we were able to meet the host, they were wonderful. We will be back.

It was our third time staying in The Wilderness. We like the remote area with pond in front. The look and feel of it is peaceful. It is a great getaway for a quiet rest.

This is such a beautiful property. It’s perfect for a romantic and relaxing weekend.

This place was absolutely perfect for our weekend getaway the cabin was just as pictured but just better in person super cozy it rained the whole time we were here so we didn’t get to walk the trails like we wanted to but I definitely will be back and try another cabin on the property the property manager is very nice and easy to communicate with
