When you visit Hocking Hills and Wayne National Forest, it is all about the experience! At Black Bear Lodge, we hope you & your guests spend quality time together. Cook home-made meals in the kitchen, dine around the hand-crafted dining table, or have a cookout on the back patio. Spend the evening watching movies with a large bowl of popcorn on the sectional. On cold evenings, cozy up next to the fireplace with a cup of hot chocolate. The options are endless.

The expansive yard is ideal for outdoor activities. Play games with friends and family, have a cookout on the grill, or just relax around the outdoor fire pit as you enjoy the sounds of nature. The fenced-in area provides a safe and enjoyable environment for pets, so your furry companions can join in on the fun.

Spend time around the firepit roasting marshmallows and eating chocolatey smores around the crackling fire. Forget about the chaos of your everyday life for the weekend and get outdoors! The outdoor spaces are our absolute favorite. After long days of sight-seeing, you can spend time in the sun by the pool. Play games in the large, spacious yard. End your night by soothing tired muscles in the hot tub and taking in the views of the night sky and calmness of the forest.
