Very near to Little River Canyon which we like a lot. The cabin was private and the large property was great with goats, cows,(my wife said she saw horses?),rock formations, and a cool slide. I highly recommend Bear Creek Log Cabins.
The fire pit was good on our last night.
The goats were friendly and well behaved.
My beautiful better half.

A place to lose track of time

The place was very clean. I expected the cabin to smell old since it was built in the 1800s but it didn’t. The place was well cared for. The sunrise views were amazing. Even though there are other cabins on the property, we were spread out enough that we had plenty of privacy. Thank you Randy and Sandy for sharing your property with us!

Pros and cons

PROS; Clean, quiet, sunrise over the pasture with cows, and the goats. CONS: you can see owners house from the porch swing and hot tub. Not secluded( if thats your preference). No closets or dresser for unpacking bags. Would have been helpful to have a book or something with directions to Bear creek and also things to do in the area

Felt like home

I wanted to take my 2 boys on a little weekend getaway just to unwind and relax. We wanted a cabin with an upstairs and a hot tube. (Their must haves) haha. I wanted to take them to Mentone to see the falls in the area so we decided on this cabin due to be far enough away from everything but still close to town. It was absolutely perfect. The cabin was everything the 3 of us needed and the boys loved the grounds with the goats swing slide and rocks. The hot tube was a huge hit and the fireplace made it feel so warm after coming in from the freezing temps. It had everything we needed for our stay. We will be staying there again in the future.

Serenity

The cabin was beautiful inside and out. We loved sitting on the porch watching wildlife ( baby lizzard, bird's, squirrels, ) and the fresh country air was very healing. The hot tub was so sparkling clean and at the correct temperature to melt away aching joints almost like therapy in a tub. A Quiet spot to read and or write a novel. We enjoyed the goaties , very tame and friendly. Randy and Sandy have a huge fishing pond that is picturesque, that guests could fish .The owners are the best hosts ever. We enjoyed our vacation tremendously. No worries and well rested is what we received from our stay. We will absolutely NEVER forget the experience as it was heaven on earth to us.
