Black Bear Lodge gives an updated twist to rustic West Virginia living, You will fall in love with the warm mountain views and quiet rustle of the leaves.

Benedict Haid Farm is a family-owned business open, mostly for weddings, for about 40 years. It features a large, historic 1860s hand-hewn log home on 400-acres, adjoining 10,000 acres of undeveloped corporate property. This is a nice place to get away for a while, or host a small retreat. The nearest commercial building is six miles away. :-)

During your stay pick any of the three large bedrooms with premium queen-sized beds, private bedroom decks, and equipped with its own private bathrooms. The master bedroom enjoys the jetted tub for relaxing all evening long. The property provides spacious parking, ample firewood, a complimentary gas grill with unlimited gas, and free use of electric car recharge station.

There is walking access to a pond, Margaret's Pond, roughly .8 mile from Black Bear Lodge. You will have access to the surrounding woods, Margaret's Pond, and the nearby farmland if you want to make such arrangements. If you are interested in holding an event, please look up our website and contact us. The newly-renovated barn is available to be rented for events, as well. It was renovated using logs from historic log cabins formerly located in the South Hills section of Charleston.

Steve and Lee, the caretakers for the Benedict Haid Farm, live on the property and can be contacted as needed.

Dutch Ridge is a largely undeveloped area and contains some of the highest hills and mountains in this part of West Virginia. Hope you visit the Black Bear Lodge, a starting point for a rustic, scenic and beautiful vacation in the hills of West Virginia.

    While this was remote, the location is quite amazing! Perched on the top of a hill where you can see both the sun rise and sun set was the most beautiful setting. The rustic nature of the home was super cool with the custom chairs/benches adding to the charm. We had no real issues during our stay. The property manager was a super sweet person to talk to and provided some local tips.

    Great location for my 2 sisters and our husbands to meet for a weekend get away since we were coming from OH, TN, & VA. The cabin and surrounding area are beautiful. We had plenty of room…nice that each bedroom had its own bathroom. Kitchen was well stocked with dishes, cookware, dish cloths/towels…everything you need. You will need to take things like zip lock bags, foil, plastic wrap. We cooked all our meals and had a relaxing weekend of good food and game time.The only minor negative is that I had not received cabin access info from the host by Friday morning. I messaged him and he called me and gave me the info I needed and also to let me know the caretaker would stop by after we arrived to make sure everything was in good order. Steve, the caretaker made us feel very welcome and gave us a lot of history of the area. We all agreed that we will definitely plan another stay in the future.

    The property is beautiful, it does not disappoint. The cabin is a perfect mix of old and new, it had everything we needed to enjoy the weekend. I will definitely stay there again when in the area. Check in was easy and convenient. The property manager checked in to see if we needed anything and was a great source of information.

    This was a wonderful stay and so peaceful. We had three deer visit us our first evening. We sat outside on the decks and watched the stars. We hope to return for a longer stay!

    This is a beautiful property off of the beaten path, literally. No cable or wifi, so perfect to get away in peace! House was nice and cozy. Caretaker was very responsive. Closest grocery, Kroger, in Elkview, along with Tudor's Biscuit and Hen's and Heifer's. Enjoyed beautiful sunrise and sunset every day with watching the deer roam the fields. Worth the drive to New River Gorge Bridge for whitewater rafting. The Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine Tour and the Tamarack Craft Center was also a good trip.
