Bear Lake property was excellent

Exactly as listed. Super clean and comfortable inside. Plenty of room for a single family. Backyard was very peaceful and a great place for campfires and grilling. Close to some really cool lakes for fishing or kayak rides. Would definitely try and stay here again for this area.

This was a beautiful home. One of the nicest I've stayed in. We loved the wilderness theme from the knotty pine trim to the bears, deer and moose scattered throughout. We live in the country so appreciated the quietness. One issue was that the tub was larger than most tubs and nothing (as of yet) to hold on to when getting in or out. And no place to hang a towel. I suggested a grab/towel bar to the host. There are 2 bedrooms and a small bathroom upstairs. I would definitely recommend this place. And it was very easy to contact the host for more information.

Mom and Dad's getaway

Cody's cabin was perfect in every way. Inside was super clean, loved the wood burner, great wifi and nice relaxing view out back. Bed was nice and comfortable. The whole cabin was really nicely decorated also. Loved the bear theme. We will definitely be back. 5 stars.

Fantastic

Beautiful property and location. Stayed with a few friends and found the cabin in pristine condition. The cabin was stocked with anything that you would need for your experience: dry fire wood, black stone grill, comfortable beds, closeness to ORV and hiking trails. Owner was helpful in the checking process and giving some recommendations around town. Overall a fantastic experience and will rent here again when in the area.

Private wooded escape!

Perfect place to relax and getaway! The house is located at the end of the road and is surrounded with mature trees. The covered rear deck was large enough to setup chairs and relax. The kitchen was fully equipped and had enough counter space for multiple people to work in, along with plenty of cabinet space for food. The cornhole set, 4k 120mHz TV and internet were a huge bonus! The rooms were spacious and memory foam beds were extremely comfortable.

Nice and quiet

Was looking for a location that was quasi-remote. This fit the bill perfectly. Communication was excellent with the Host. The location was ready for arrival and nicely furnished. Enjoyed our stay for the week. Weather could have been better, but some things are out of our control. Thanks for the stay, if we return to the area we will definitely check the availability of this location again.

Peaceful and accommodating

Me and my family really enjoyed staying here. It's modern yet cozy and rustic. The owners have thought of everything that someone might need. The only things that you need to bring are your clothes, personals, and food. They have the rest covered. Fully stocked kitchen.The rain shower with a wand is awesome and the bathtub is HUGE. My 3 year old loved it along with the games they had for kids. Me and my family played Cornhole, sat around the fire pit and really enjoyed each other. They must spray the property because we didn't have a problem with bugs and if for some reason you do they have the tiki torches (we didn't have to fire them up) OFF and a spray for bug bites in the drawer of the bathroom. The lake is a 3-4 minute walk and my daughter loved playing there and watching the little fish. We went tubing down the Ausable. The owners are awesome they'll return your message right away. My son forgot his wallet there and we're a 3 hour drive away, he had a plane to catch back to California in a couple days so mailing it wasn't an option. The owner met him (he only had to drive an hour) with his wallet and he had it back in time so he didn't have to postpone his flight and miss more work. We're very grateful for them and plan on renting their place next year.
