We had a relaxing two night stay at this cabin. It’s nestled in the woods and was very welcoming. It was super clean and had everything that we needed. The extra bonus of deer made our trip even more enjoyable. We would love to stay at this property again.

The cottage was the perfect place for us, who were in the Poconos for a wedding. It was very clean, cozy and you can tell a lot of thought was put into making a great experience for their guests.

Our Stay at Bear Den

We enjoyed our 5 days at the Bear Den. It was very relaxing, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the grill outdoors as well. A true pleasure of the location was being surrounded by birds and bird song during out stay.
