Perfect getaway!

The Brown Bear Lodge is the perfect getaway! The host was very communicative and punctual! The check in process was so simple, I felt as if I owned the place. The house was exceptionally clean, organized, and fully stocked. The location is packed with beautiful views, and was so peaceful and quiet while sitting around around the fire pit at night. I would give this place 6 stars if they would let me and will continue to return back year after year!
