Great location, nice place, close to trails

The place was perfect for our stay. The cost of an inn with the feel of your own cabin. It was clean and nicely decorated. Would highly recommend for anyone looking to do some hiking or just to get away for the weekend.

While it is small, it was clean and the kitchenette had actual glasses and silverware, etc & having plastic glassware and utensils is a huge pet peeve of mine.

Fabulous place!

Host is amazing, clran, comfortable, modern and right near Manistee National Forest. This is totally our new place when visiting relatives in the area. Outdoor games, lawn chairs, nice eating area, well kept. Good show! One property note: Shower is very small only because of the type of property cabin this is. This and the toilet position at the wall makes life a bit rough for bigger people. Not recommended for 300lb+ or people with claustrophobia.

The stay and the Inn was fantastic. Clean, quiet, affordable, perfect location for our travels. Beds and pillows were comfortable, nice to have the small kitchen, owners provided a wonderful stay and experience at the Black Bear Inn. Having lived in the area for many years and visiting for the first time in years, my wife and I will definitely be back again and again.
