Nice home away from home
The furniture and beds were comfortable and not overly worn compared to other Vrbo properties we’ve stayed at. The unit is nicely updated. The amenities were more than expected. The price was spot on, although we didn't stay for the entire reservation due to weather not cooperating with our snowboarding plans.

Road Noise
The cost great. The property was clean! Although, the road noise from the vehicles driving by was terrible. With that said my wife and I did sleep very well. If noise wouldn't be a bother then this is a clean and cost friend place to stay! PS add largers TV's :)

Great value. Had everything and a cute cabin charm. Very good location to so many local places. Found that my sister rented the river location while I rented the black bear and both of us were so happy. Owner does an amazing job.

Great little cabin in Wellston
Perfect location for our trip to the Manistee NF, which was only 5 minutes away. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. The stove and full sized refrigerator were a definite plus. We'd definitely stay here again.

Home away from home
We love the Black Bear Inn. This was our 3rd time visiting. The place was very clean and comfortable. They have many outdoor games, however we go to fish and gamble. I can’t recommend this place enough. Hop skip and jump to Lake Michigan and Manistee. The hosts are wonderful.
