We had a nice quiet time staying at the Bear's Den Cabin. Plenty of room for everyone to stay and really enjoyed have a fire in the fireplace each night. Was close to a few great hiking locations and had an excellent dinner at the Tavern.

The property was just as described; small, rustic and with great views. The kitchen is virtually non-existent, but who wants to cook on vacation. Unfortunately, communication was poor. We asked if there was a chance of borrowing a toaster, and they messaged us that they would be bringing one right away. Then we didn’t hear a thing. I would have preferred them telling us no, so we didn’t wait around for them to deliver it. There was also a pair of shoes left in the cabin, and and they didn’t come get them when we alerted them.

6/10 Okay

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, communication
The cabin itself was fine. The front porch is really nice. The bed in the downstairs bedroom is as hard as a rock and I really couldn't sleep on it. It needs some updating, too. The owners/managers were very nice and quick to respond to my questions. The restaurant on the property has great food.
