This was an amazing cabin, beautiful property in a great location! Would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again. Host communication was incredible.
The big bear cabin was a perfect size for the 3 of us. All by itself in the middle of a wooded area. Great location for travel around the Keewenaw peninsula. The host provided some great restaurant recommendations.
Kriss is a staple for us now. Everything was perfect and it immediately felt like a home to us. Houghton is a beautiful town with tons of great people running great businesses. Honestly, I miss it, I can't wait to return.
Nice private setting cabin but still close enough to the city for shopping and activities. The path that goes around portage lake is nice for walking and biking and leads right down to the community park and beach. Overall nice place to get away from it all.
My husband and I celebrated our 20th wedding anniversary at Black Bear Cabin. The cabin and Michigan did not disappoint. The cabin was beautifully located in a scenic area yet close to many sightseeing activities. I highly recommend to anyone that is looking for a cabin getaway!
It was a beautiful cabin and so comfy. There was so much to do around us, and any questions we had they answered. I definitely recommend staying here. Beautiful scenery.
We had a great experience at Black Bear Cabin - came up for Michigan Tech hockey camp and the drive was a short from the cabin ti the college. Only enhancement I can think of it to add a washer and dryer but other than that worked perfectly for our stay.
The cabin was exactly what we expected. Great location to explore the area with beautiful scenery. Our stay was super convenient and the cabin was comfortable with sufficient WiFi to work from "home."
The fall colors were spectacular! The cabin is cozy, and Kriss went far above and beyond in communicating and helping when we had car problems. I would highly recommend this property!
Black Bear Cabin was very clean, comfortable and close to all of the wonderful sights the Kewenaw has to offer. The beautiful setting was enhanced by the wildlife just outside the windows, there were fawns eating just off the deck. I would recommend this cozy cabin if you are planning a trip to copper country.
We loved our stay here! It was a warm cozy cabin perfect for a fall getaway! The only thing that I was confused is seeing the listing and on Google Maps it looks like it is right on the lake, it is across the road. Otherwise the cabin was set up well, we had plenty of room, and thoroughly enjoyed our stay!
We are so lucky to have found Black Bear Cabin for our stay in the Keweenaw! It is perfect the perfect spot for relaxing, secluded but close to everything the area has to offer. The cabin is old and rustic, but clean and cozy. It brought back happy memories of the log cabin my family stayed in during childhood vacations. Thank you, Kriss and Ray!
We really enjoyed out stay at the cabin! Its location is close to Houghton and the rest of the Keweenaw! It's surrounded by woods that makes it feel so private, yet it's close to neighbors and to Chassell. The kitchen is small, but suited our needs! The cabin was cozy and comfortable! Kriss, the hostess, was fantastic! She was extremely accommodating! We loved our stay!
The cabin was very cute and cozy. We enjoyed using the fireplace and sleeping in the loft. While we had to be careful to catch the right driveway - their instructions for finding it were perfect. Everything we wanted to do was easily accessible and we still got to feel away from it all. Excellent stay and hope to return.

We purchased the log cabin from a friend who now resides outside of the U.S. We always loved the cabin and its cozy feel. When our friend decided it was time to sell, we jumped at the chance to own such a beautiful property and have never looked back. Our guests have often commented how the cabin feels like it's in the country, but is only a mile to Chassell or ten minutes to Houghton.
Cozy, quiet, peaceful. The location and decor of this cabin instantly relaxes us. We also love fires in the beautiful stone fireplace and relaxing around the outdoor fire pit.
