Black Bear

Often referred to as “The Great Silent Dreamer”, black bears have long been a symbol of wisdom and strength. Many Native American traditions believed that the bear’s long sleep during hibernation brought visions of truth and healing.  The black bear symbolizes the restorative power of taking time to slow down, relax and look inward.  Much like bears, humans also benefit from taking time for rest and restoration.  Just as the black bears take time to escape from the busy world around them to rest, humans gain insight and renewed energy from a relaxing getaway where they are free from all the distractions and demands of the world.  Welcome to Black Bear Cabin, we hope this comfortable hideaway with its impressive views and serene sounds of rippling water will leave you feeling restored and ready for your next adventure.
