About this property

Black Bear Lodge 3

We offer a very relaxed, next to nature, homey setting that will leave you feeling like you never left home.

We are an eight-acre located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains in the Arkansas River Valley of Howard, Colorado. At Black Bear Retreat, we offer a relaxed, quite, peaceful, natural Colorado Environment. A true Colorado experience. We`re just 12 miles east out of historic Salida, Colorado, with Twin Sister Mountains as a backdrop and stunning 360 panoramic views of the Rocky Mountains. The River is right across from us and there are numerous access points to get to the river.

Good for fishermen and construction workers. Needs upgrading. We did not have sufficient towels, had to run extension cord from bathroom to beds for CPAP machines, insufficient hot water. The price was great.

Good in a last minute pinch.

No coffee pot. Three towels for four of us. Not the cleanest, but ok. Funky smell.

Good place to stay if you only need a good,comfortable place to sleep & take a shower. No table or chairs in the room to relax in or eat, eventhough there is a microwave. Thank you, Nancy & Joe
