The house was every thing as advertised. We had a great stay. A bigger TV would be nice.

We have stayed at this property every year for the last four years and absolutely love this place. The neighborhood and setting is fantastic. House has great bedrooms and bathrooms, beautiful porch to hang out on, etc.
From the owner: "Thank you for staying at the Blackbear house, very fine group, and enjoying, having you again. God bless you."
We were a group of 7 adults plus our dog and we had PLENTY of room for everyone to spread-out. The kitchen was stocked with lots of spices and oils for cooking our meals. The grill on the deck was ready-to-go with a full propane tank. There was more than enough firewood for us to have a great evening at the fire pit. The house was immaculately clean and we didn't lack for anything. Our host was very responsive when we had questions prior-to and during our stay. The house is located in an extremely quiet community and the roads leading in and out are very steep and curvy. There is a beautiful winter view of the lake from the back decks but no actual lake access. Just a short drive if you want to be at the marina or fishing on the nearby river.
Shared from the owner:
"Hi Lesli, thank you so much for your thoughtful review and kind words about the home! I'm thrilled to hear that your group had plenty of space and enjoyed the amenities like the stocked kitchen, grill, and fire pit. I appreciate your feedback about the seating in the basement, and I plan to add a coffee table and extra chairs to make it more comfortable for group movie or game nights. I’m so glad you had a wonderful time, and I truly appreciate you recommending the home to others—thank you again!"
The beds were comfortable, the house had everything you need including the kitchen very well stocked. Normally you have to purchase a lot of small things for a vacation house but this one had everything we needed.

The home was perfect for 6 adults on a recent trip the Deal's Gap. The driveway was huge and we could fit all our cars (very low S2000, boxster, C6) and a truck and trailer. The driveway is a little steep at first but levels out. The road getting to the house is a windy, one way, single lane road. But we were able to get a truck and trailer with a car on it through there just fine. The house is the perfect spot between Robbinsville and Deal's Gap. We could see the sunset through the trees over the water from the deck. Very quiet and relaxing area. We had a blast! The host was very communicative. 10/10 would recommend.
