It's a cozy place and was clean when we arrived. There was wood provided for tge fireplace, which we used frequently. Furnace and AC had no trouble keeping up. It was obviously warmer up in the loft, but they had a fan to help move the air. Great central location to the sightseeing locales and you can see two ski slopes right across the valley.

We’ve been coming to Davis for a long time but this was our first time staying in Black Bear. The Bear Lair was perfect for our stay. Clean, well decorated, well equipped kitchen, very comfortable beds, and plenty of firewood. The central location was great as we bounced between Dolly Sods, Timberline, White Grass and downtown Davis. Abby was super responsive and accommodating. We definitely plan to return.

A great getaway

We had everything we needed to enjoy the Bear Lair! We loved being able to have fires in the evening and enjoyed the view from the living rooms windows. We really appreciated being able to bring our 4 legged friend, who also had a great time. We did have a little bit of snow so had to be careful on the flight of stairs up to the cabin.

Well equipped cozy cabin on a resort with plenty to keep the family busy. Free mini golf, pickleball court, and basketball. 10 minute access to Davis and Thomas. Wildlife refuge visitors center and Canaan state park 10 minutes in the other direction. Endless trail opportunities throughout. Simply everything you need right there.

Place was as advertised. Nice and clean inside Outside was a bit messy and could have used a blower to the deck. Picnic table is rotting away. Biggest issues was no internet or TV for the whole stay other than about 8pm on the last night it started working. For a person who is still working parttime this was an issue.
