We love staying at Black Bear Resort. You enter the property and immediately begin to relax. The cabins are clean, cozy and comfortable. The heated swimming pool is amazing. There is also a fitness trail, tennis and basketball courts. In the winter, it is a great base for downhill and cross country skiing, in the summer, mountain biking and nature hikes. Truly a hidden gem.

We stumbled across this resort by accident...and are so glad we did! The wide open spaces and available activities are great for the kids -- and also allow just a nice relaxing vacation without spending a TON of money! Price is amazing for the value!

Definitely hit or miss

We stayed in a "luxury" pedestal. There was nothing luxury about it. It was dusty, had old carpeting, and in need of renovation. It was not cleanly, mainly because things need to be replaced and are not very cleanable. The location was great - very convenient to ski areas and lovely view of the woods. The kitchen was functional and easy to use.
We stayed in cabin 81 to do some skiing. The units are owned by different people and the resort management is responsible for cleaning and stocking the supplies.
Overall we were comfortable; the beds were comfortable with enough sheets and blankets (the maid, though, did not change the pillowcases so we found hair on them. Fortunately there ...

Almost Paradise?
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 01/25/08
Off a winding mountain road lies Black Bear Resort. It's an unassuming place, almost hidden, spread out over a sizeable wooded property. If you think of a resort only as a Club Med, you're probably in for a disappointment; everyone else will be thrilled. The cabins are clean and spacious; there's a walking trail, a big pool, a tennis ...

Just Awesome!!!

We have been coming to Black Bear Resort for many years. Sometimes 2-3 times per year. It is awesome both in the summer and the winter. Things to do all year round. Our kids love it as well as me and my husband. Last visit (September 07) we actually saw a bear cub in Davis! In the summer, there is a nice, clean pool, awesome fishing (my husband ...
It's not easy for a middle-aged couple to find the perfect spot for a romantic getaway -- but Black Bear Resort is it! A clear, star-filled sky viewed from the lovely deck of our cabin... a feeling of complete privacy, but with every amenity... incredible scenery all around, to be enjoyed at a leisurely pace... a beautiful nearby golf course. I ...

Go there several times a year

I love just doing nothing for a weekend. No noise, no interstate, and lots and lots of stars in the sky!!! Luxury cabin porches and hot tubs are the absolute best for the get away!!!
This was the best place I have ever stayed. Quiet, relaxing and the most beautiful views of the mountains. The kids loved the cozy pedestal that we stayed in. It was incredibly clean too. Blackwater Falls State Park is only a few miles away, and it has gorgeous views of the mountains, valley, and 3 waterfalls. I was disappointed that we were only there for 2 nights. Great price for what you get. The pool was also very well kept and clean.

Picture Postcard Beautiful

What a surprize Find! Value beyond belief. Beautiful landscape and warm friendly people. If you want to do nothing but unplug or you want to raise your heart rate mountain biking,hiking or white water rafting this is the place to go. My husband and daughter enjoyed some father - daughter time while trail riding on several of the guided horseback ...
