We loved the property! Close to everything, walkable to downtown and loved the hot tub facing the river. Home was clean, well equipped and private. Highly recommend
Husband and I really enjoyed our weekend stay at Bear run. This little house was perfect for a couple. Quiet, great location and very very clean. Walking distance to town ! We will definitely stay here again!
This place was great for a couples getaway. The hot tub was very nice! The property is very close to town and right on the water. The only thing that was a minor issue is the thermostat is hard to control. Overall it is a great place to stay.
The tiny home was a great and fun experience. The overall layout was well planned out and fit our family of 4 perfectly. The hot tub and back porch were very relaxing and enjoyable. The only negative was the cleanliness. Our socks were dirty just walking on the floors and there were cobwebs all over inside and out.

Looks can be deceiving
The cabin was small but nice. Short drive to train station. But the beds are terrible. You are either freezing cold downstairs, and unbearable hot in the loft. The electric fireplace didnt work, and they have speakers blasting Christmas music all night long for some reason. It ruined my whole family's night sleeps, and the owners didnt seem to care much about it when i told them. We wi never boom here again.
