When you visit Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest, it is all about the experience! At Black Bear Lodge, we hope you & your guests spend quality time together. Cook home-made meals in the kitchen, dine around the hand-crafted dining table, or have a cookout on the back patio. Spend the evening watching movies with a large bowl of popcorn on the sectional. On cold evenings, cozy up next to the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. The options are endless.

The expansive yard is ideal for outdoor activities. Play games with friends and family, have a cookout on the grill, or just relax around the outdoor fire pit as you enjoy the sounds of nature. The fenced-in area provides a safe and enjoyable environment for pets, so your furry companions can join in on the fun.

Spend time around the firepit roasting marshmallows and eating chocolatey smores around the crackling fire. Forget about the chaos of your everyday life for the weekend and get outdoors! The outdoor spaces are our absolute favorite. After long days of sight-seeing, you can spend time in the sun by the pool. Play games in the large, spacious yard. End your night by soothing tired muscles in the hot tub and taking in the views of the night sky and calmness of the forest.

    I was not a fan of the check in process, would have preferred to simply go directly to the property instead of 15 minutes away to check in and out. The hot tub wasn’t the cleanest and the stove was iffy. But overall I would stay again due to price and location.

    We had the opportunity to spend a couple of days with our grandchildren and we chose black bear lodge in Nelsonville. The place was everything and more that was listed on VRBO.Everything was spotless, plenty of towels for everyone, the bedrooms were spacious and everyone had their own room. Family of 6 would definitely rent this property again. Thank you, the Carbone family!!

    We stayed for two nights in February at this location. The bedrooms were decent size.The master bathroom is awesome with that huge tub. The kitchen was well stocked with pots and pans , however there is no Keurig here which we found odd. The wooden tables are amazing and we actually utilized the fireplace, which they provided the wood for and came in handy. Didn’t notice it the first night because we were baking but definitely noticed it the second night but there was no heat in the home and it was super chilly the morning we left. The temp controller would not make it kick on. We let rental company know when we returned the keys. Overall, Minus it being chilly in the home, it was a great family get away.

    Loved the cleanliness of this property and the location. Will definitely go back to this property again. It was quiet and away from everything, but close enough to Nelsonville to run into town if needed. We recommend this if you just want some quiet time away or it would be great for a large group since there is plenty of space.

    This property exceeded expectations! Huge and spacious, very clean, and all the supplies/amenities you'll need for a comfortable stay. Very quiet and secluded. My friends and I loved to stare up at the stars in the hot tub after our long days of hiking in Hocking Hills.

    The property was exactly what you see. It had everything you would have in your home and more all you had to do was bring your own food and games.

    Good place but no little extras for the price. Small issues needed fixed for the amount paid: cabin at 78 degrees at height of the hot and humid summer and my asthmatic husband wheezing for 12 hours until it finally cooled down and needing fans at full blast to make it bearable; shower in main suite didn’t drain well; tub in main suite didn’t stay stoppered; right, front stove burner didn’t work. Beautiful property and cabin but for the price, they need to maintain the small things better. I have stayed at higher priced places previously and it is the small, extra things that make the stay special and worth it. They need to put the extra effort to make it worth it.
