We had a relaxing two night stay at this cabin. It’s nestled in the woods and was very welcoming. It was super clean and had everything that we needed. The extra bonus of deer made our trip even more enjoyable. We would love to stay at this property again.

A cozy and lovingly-decorated cottage nestled among mature trees and moss-covered rocks, creating a magical feeling. The firepit was such a nice space. Everything felt like a home away from home.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
Hello I am Steven and I would like to welcome you to my happy place. Bear Den Cottage was created to share with guests the wonders of this great area and the peace that it has brought us. Our goal is for you to reconnect with the outdoors and breath in the spirit of the lake region.

Why they chose this property

I started enjoying the outdoors through tent camping and overlanding. Over the years I upsized to a camper and was introduced to the Lake Wallenpaupack area by wonderful friends who are now our extended lake family.

What makes this property unique

It is my pleasure to offer this cottage to you and to share the experience of the property which offers the best of the outdoors and convenience of downtown.
