BLACK BEAR LODGE- ¡Fin de semana de Memorial Day abierto y 4 de julio de 2019!

Very nice clean cabin with nice outside seating.

Cabin was as described the view of the river from the porch was very relaxing. Property and cabin were very clean and Cozy. Will be on our return list.

Nice and clean. But it said it had a washer and dryer and it doesn’t and it also says towels provided .. we had 4 people for 3 days and only 2 bath towels and no washer or dryer. No of that would have been a problem for us if we knew ahead of time. Overall a nice experience.

Wish we had communication of bridge being out and river closed off in front of property. Was looking forward to fly fishing from the cabin. Address is wrong on the house. Confused at first trying to find location with bridge out. We found the house in perfect order and the most comfortable bed! Maybe could be a bit cleaner on the deck and patio getting rid of spider webs and sweeping before tracking in house. Need better instructions for tv. Had it on but could not change channels! We liked the closeness of being able to find restaurants in Grayling. Construction on bridge was a bit noisy with the jackhammers busting up the cement at bridge and it kept us from fishing that branch of the river. Did fish other branches. Great food and help from Ray in Grayling! Overall We will be back next year when construction is finished.

Overall it's a nice Cabin does need some improvements.

My wife and I stayed here for the weekend, rode our side by side from the house trails are close and came home to a comfortable place. Nice firepit and grill to use.

This was an adequate property. Most everything you could need for an extended stay and close to lots of activities in Frederic, Grayling, Kalkaska, and other places in the upper Michigan mitten. Property manager was helpful with problems (particularly a problem with Roku, but later the day of arrival we determined that the Roku stick had been removed from tv and was under the TV stand). No local TV (no antenna for local OTA, but may have been too far from Grayling to pick up area channels. Due to rain and cold we spent more time than planned in cabin and got plenty of time to relax.

This 'cabin' was exactly as portrayed. Besides being set in a private little woods, it was very clean, everything worked! The bed was comfy, hot water in the shower, even a dishwasher! We cooked all of our meals there and every tool and all the dishes and glasses we needed were supplied. We spent every day bicycling over to Hartwick Park, an easy ride of half a dozen miles. In the evening, we'd enjoy the comfortable seating on the private deck. Couldn't be better. Wish it were closer to home!

While we were a bit taken aback by the size of the cabin it was nice and cozy for a newlywed couple, all the amenities served their purposes perfectly and the environment was inviting and relaxing. Would certainly book again!

This was first time using Vrbo and the entire process was simple from start to finish. The hardest part was selecting a place to stay. This was perfect got my 6 year old daughter and myself as a cabin for vacation. It's only 20 minutes, if that from Grayling which has most things a city would have. We spent time Disc Golfing at Hansen Hills, fishing at Glory Lake and overall just relaxing at the cabin. The cabin had high speed cable internet which made it that much easier for streaming movies and shows to fill in the dull times for my kid. The cabin had everything promised in the listing and was a very comfortable stay. My daughter was absolutely thrilled to stay in the cabin! The view from the living room and back patio area is phenomenal!!My daughter made me a necklace in school last year which I wear almost everyday. Upon check out, we looked high and low to make sure we didn't forget anything but as soon as we got home, I started looking for the necklace and couldn't find it. I contacted the number I was given for the hospitality and explained the situation. She contacted the cleaning person and was able to locate the necklace for me so they will be mailing it back to to cherish once again.Thank you Freshwater Vacation Rentals for the oppurtunity to rent this cabin and great work on the upkeep of the cabin as well.

Very clean. Near the river. Easy checkin

Rental was just as listed , a very nice cabin , every thing was clean , great for our getaway

There was mold in the bathroom. The pictures showed a path down to the river. There was no such path. My wife was particularly unhappy and I did not relish 3 days with an Unhappy Woman -- so we left, even though we had paid for 3 nights.

The rental was clean and in a beautiful location on the Au Sable River. The only reason for the lower review is the noisy neighbors! There were loud parties that ran from noon until well into the night on three out of the five days of our stay. Also, the second day we were there, the local utility had underground borers digging and drilling all day right outside the front door. While I know that sort of work cannot be helped, it should be noted that we were informed that there will also soon be work performed on the bridge near the property, adding to the noise and traffic.

I enjoyed my stay the view in the back room is very nice and the property is well maintained!! Easy access to and from I-75 and Frederic is a very friendly place highly recommend!!

This quaint cabin is nestled in the woods with the Au Sable River behind the house. It includes big picture windows allowing for a beautiful view. The outdoor lighting in the trees is picturesque. We travelled here in the winter so the snow and short days made for a peaceful and quiet getaway. This would also be a beautiful retreat in the summer months as well. It's only a short drive to Grayling for groceries or restaurants. A great find in northern Michigan!

The cabin was cozy for my husband and tween step kids and had a great view!

Every thing was great except for the beds. The top bunk was so close to the ceiling that nobody could get into it. The full size bed mattress was extremely unsupported. Sleeping was not ideal.

Awesome setting overlooking the river.

Second time back as we love the location! The cabin is very close to town and trails are close by if that’s your thing. Also enjoy sitting by the river for a little peace and quiet.

Due to late snow in the U.P., we couldn’t get to our cabin for fish camp. My wife booked this cabin for us and we were thrilled with the location. Close to three great fly fishing rivers!! She couldn’t have picked a better place for us to stay. Will definitely book again.

Was a really nice place and really good location! Really enjoyed staying there and while probably stay again in the future.

Au Sable (backyard) and Manistee (within 10-15 mins)rivers so close and convenient.

Typical up north cabin within an hour or so of many attractions.
