The Space

Black Bear Retreat is situated on 0.48 acres in a friendly neighborhood. We have close neighbors and a paved road around the cul-de-sac.

The basement level (finished) can be accessed without any steps but the 2nd and 3rd stories require climbing a flight of steps.

Big Bear Adventures is within 5 minutes of the house and offers year round rafting trips and summertime kayaking, tubing and canoeing trips, and customers have the option of starting or ending their kayaking and rafting adventure just minutes from the house at the public Sturgeon River access.

Guest Access

Guests have access to the entire 3 story cabin except for a couple locked supply closets and the garage.

There are keyless entries on the main and lower levels of the cabin.
