I had a lovely time at Black Bear Lodge, nestled in the serene mountains with easy access to plenty of outdoor fun. The hospitality was warm, and the lodge is well-kept, but the dated facilities did take away from the overall charm a bit. The kitchenette in the room was a bonus, making it easy to prepare snacks after a day of exploring. Overall, it’s a great value for a family getaway, but keep expectations in check regarding amenities.
