The Dirty Bear Den

The overall stay. The proximity of the home was walking distance to village which was great. No TV in the second bedroom was very inconvenient. Overall the cleanliness was about a 2.

Cabin is clean and well appointed. Beds were comfortable with clean sheets. The location is walkable into town, the lake, and residents. The rental company was easy to deal with and provided extra towels all in all a great stay!

Spotless home steps from the Village

Great location, spotless house, everything as advertised. The hot tub was a struggle - we could not get it heated above 90 and we are wimps about cold. There are heaters in each room that can be loud switching on and off, but we figured it out. Other than those minor inconveniences the property is great and is right near the heart of the village.

Great location and get away.

Really happy with the house. You could walk to everything in the village. The bar/pool room was great and got used each night. Really comfortable furniture and, while not there to watch tv, on a rainy day it was great. Tons of channels and huge screens. Hot tub was used each night. Definitely stay again!

I feel like this place more than fulfilled all the things I and my friends needed. We were looking for a all around great cabin that had some extra perks. The place was very clean and everything we needed was already there. The hot tub was perfect the pool room was perfect the space all around was more than enough definitely would revisit this cabin

Great Place

Came into town for the Polar Plunge, enjoyed the extras, the hot tub, the pool table, and playing darts. The decor, the comfy beds, and the location were absolutely wonderful. Our only gripe would be all the extra fees , almost doubled our bill. Wouldn’t mind some extra fees but felt that was excessive.

great place, close to everything

loved everything about it. only thing I would change is not having the bunk beds in the same room as the amazing master bedroom. I get that it makes sense for parties of 6, but for our family of 4 at least no one wanted to sleep in the second bedroom.
