Very cute cabin. We saw all kinds of wildlife. Elk, deer ( who were very friendly) and family of turkey. The porch was a wonderful place to take a nap and watch the hummingbirds. It was tucked away in the pines. My only negative comment is the carpet was stained and did not appear clean. Nice place to stay. I would stay again.

Wonderful secluded property with easy access. Private covered porch was our favorite part of the property and it is a comfortable cabin for 6 people. The only drawback is that there is no place to hang clothes in the master bedroom. There at least should be a stand alone hanging rack in the master or office area. Suitcase holders would also be a nice addition.

Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about the property and porch. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by not having a place to hang clothes in the master bedroom and will look into this. We will also review your suggestions about adding a standalone hanging rack and considering suitcase holders. Your feedback is very helpful and appreciated.

One cave six bears

A great stay with several adults and children (kids want to go back early next year). Overall positive experience. Would love to see a few more dish towels and potholders but a very minor thing. It was in a lovely neighbor with scenic views. Would go back!

4 Bears 1 Cave

Loved this place! Wanted to extend our stay and will choose this place again. House was a perfect layout for us. Husband worked while we played. Office was perfect for that. Our only needs were instructions that dishwasher need vinegar and directions to nearest trash dumpster.

Heaven

If you’re looking to stay in the area, look no further. The 4 Bears, 1 Cave property is clean, in a great area, and has all the amenities you need. Sitting on the back deck feels like heaven. The deck looks out into a wooded area. Wild horses wander by frequently, a scene I only believed occurred in movies. Elk and deer visit as well.

We loved this property. The listing was accurate and the host was great. Our favorite part was the front and back porches. They were very nice and one of them backed up to the forest, We were able to see quite a few animals. We saw horses, turkeys, elk and a lot of mule deer. The house was just the right size for the 4 of us. The kitchen was nice and featured a counter top ice maker, which we used. I do wish that there were lamps on the night stands, but that didn't affect my love of the house. We would definitely rent this property again. We have already discussed about renting it again next trip, if it is available.
