Thank you Tom! We had a lovely stay. I was amazed at how well the kitchen was stocked with cookware. We did take a canoe ride and watched the full moon rise over the mountain and lake. God Bless you! Typed by owner from our Guest BookDid you find this review helpful? Yes | No Helpful votes: 0/0

This was my second stay at the Painted Bear. It was, again, as charming and down to earth as I had remembered. Noted for its tranquility, the locale is superb. I would recommend this for families, and hey how about a honeymoon? Tom is a congenial host and goes out of his way to ensure his guests are comfortable and happy. Overall, I will go back again whenever possible.Recommended for: Age 55+, people with disabilities, tourists without a car, pet owners, romantic getaway, families with young children, girls getaway, sightseeing.
Owner response: Donna is the best! Her pups are happy at The Bear. She is a great tenant, leaves the place spotless. It is our hope people come in peace, enjoy peace, leave in peace. I hope Donna comes back often. She's a gem!
