Very inviting cabin. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. We played pool and had a fire almost every night down stairs. Beautiful area and not too far to the supermarket for food and any items forgotten from home.

Everything about this cabin was fantastic. From the view to the play room. We loved the hot tub and all the games they had to play.

The property is great. The listing should advise that 4WD or AWD vehicles are highly advisable in inclement weather. Recommend owners stock the property with consumables such as paper towels, trash bags, dish washer pellets, laundry detergent and at least 2-ply toilet paper. These inexpensive basics would go a long way to making guests feel a lot more welcome, especially at this price level. The heat turned off our last night there. Since we were leaving that morning it wasn’t a terrible problem. It would have been a real problem if it happened earlier in our stay.

This is a beautiful home, secluded & quiet, with a very relaxed vibe. We enjoyed being there with Family for our 40th Anniversary. Though it had all amenities listed, some things don't work or aren't well updated. Not as well stocked with basics (soap, toilet paper, cooking oil etc) as we expected...wish we had known to better prepare & provide our own items. No mtn view early Fall, too many trees/leaves block. Saw no bears though!!! Overall would recommend for quiet getaway, but do prep.

Bears Den was just what my friends and I were looking for in a peaceful getaway. The house was comfortable and provided all the amenities. We also liked being close to some good hiking trails; we hiked to Strickler Knob one day (highly recommended!). We really enjoyed our time at the cabin.

About the host

Hosted by Ghada Culler

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Virginia Beach, VA...just a few hours away from the cabin. We have always wanted a place to escape to in the mountains and we found it at the Bears Den. We fell in love with the serenity and quaintness of the area and wanted to own this beautiful cabin from the moment we walked in the door.

We are always looking for ways to improve the property and make it exactly what a guest would want for an unforgettable get-a-way. Since purchasing the cabin, we have built a brand new deck on the lower level, upgraded the downstairs bathroom and renovated the fire pit area (among many other smaller projects).

We try to head up to our retreat every couple of months and always have a hard time leaving to come back to reality! We also love bring along our family and friends and always make lasting memories during our stays. Some of our favorite moments is watching the sunset over the mountain while we enjoy enjoy a cocktail. And, of course, the hot tub is a magnificent place to relax while gazing at the stars! We couldn't have dreamt of a better place to escape to.
