Great stay at Bear's Den

Bear's Den was the perfect spot for us! It is a short walk to campus and Old Town. The accommodations were perfect; very clean and comfortable and just the right layout for the two of us. It is located in a beautiful, quiet neighborhood and, once you figure out the parking, very easy to access.We look forward to staying here again when we visit family in the area.
