Black Bear Resort

We escaped for a snowy last minute getaway in WV. We booked cabin 32 a couple days before we arrived. We found the cabin, warm, cosy and inviting. The kitchen and living area is big enough for two people but probably not for a small family. It was well stocked with a variety of kitchen essentials. Gas fireplace was lovely and so were the automatic candle lanterns. Overall, the surrounding areas were spectacular with stunning views. 10 minute drive to ski resorts & 10 minute drive to Davis. We would recommend 4WD but not essential as long as you are slow and patient for the plough + gritter. The best part was this place is very dog friendly! We would recommend and likely stay again.

If you go to Black Bear Resort I hope you have a wonderful time! But if you have to cancel it must be 14 days - 2 weeks - before your RSVP. No exemptions. You will lose all your money as we did. My wife has lung cancer and this was going to be our very much abbreviated 40th anniversary trip, but her health was not up to it. They have a VER LONG LIST of expectations and policy that you should read first, as we should have. Our mistake, I understand that. But we paid for 3 nights in full and they made no effort to acknowledge our difficult situation. BEWARE!

We stayed in cabin 79. It was full of bugs and poorly maintained. The floors were uneven and sagging making it difficult to walk normally inside. The sheets had a musty/moldy smell and even though we paid a cleaning fee we were required to strip beds and start laundry. The only redeeming quality here was outside the cabin. The resort was decently maintained and the location was convenient to services.

Well....if you like not having water to fill the jacuzzi tub, to take a shower, or make a cup of coffee, tea, or hot cocoa. Then, by all means this is your place. The view is nice from the back deck.

Stayed in Cabin 29. Poorly maintained... Absolute dump. Toilet wasn't working (maintenance was kind enough to fix it). Washer was leaking badly. Dryer had towels that were clearly left in there wet (the smell was putrid). Floor sags. Couch is unusable, you sink into it. The shower was surrounded by mold / mildew. Told the front desk, they couldn't care less. Told us it was up to the individual owner. I had no way to contact the individual owner. I'll never stay here again.
