Perfect weekend getaway with great fishing experience

We had a great time a the Mama Bear Cabin. It was so cozy and had everything we needed. The fishing spot the owner shared with us worked out great, we were able to catch some salmon and stock up the freezer. We didn't want to leave.

Very helpful and a guininely nice person, as well as his son. Couldnt ask for a better stay. I wouldnt hesitate to stay here again.

Amazing stay

We had a great time and loved staying in the cabin. We would for sure come back! I would suggest getting a fan installed or something because the bed without the window it gets very hot up there at night. Also a price list of how much it is to rent gear. We misunderstood that renting gear would be $20/person per day we thought it was $20/day for us so that ended up costing much more than planned. Otherwise beautiful cabin great location. We would love to bring our families and parents back here for another adventure.
