It was close to the main strip, the only thing I didn’t like was issues with WiFi.
Our stay at the Mama Bear Cabin was awesome. We had an amazing Easter there and everything about our stay was magical. We even got some snow while we were there. Watching everything outside through the huge wall of windows was the best. Going outside and sitting on the porch was the best. Overall the host made every minute of our stay feel like home. Can't wait to go back again.

Cabin needs work
The cabin needs work. Second bedroom the bed is held up by cinder blocks!!! The tv screen looked as if the tv was dying and couldn’t even watch anything on it. There was no WiFi. There was a lamp that was broken in the living room. Lighting in kitchen was horrible. The roll away bed mattress was unusable. The bed was all springs and no cushion. There was 1 roll of toilet paper and the only other roll under the sink was soaking wet. No curtains.

Nice, cozy stay! we had a few deer stop by in the morning, cool experience! The house is small and cozy. Kitchen is well stocked. Would rent again. Be comfortable with stair- there’s quite a few to climb to get to the entry door.
