Family getaway. The log home surely met our expectations. The owner has done a great job in providing comfort and created a welcoming environment with decor and newer furnishings. We loved the open-concept living area, and it kept everyone together, regardless of where they were in the house. The game room was a great add-on feature, and star-gazing in the hot tub was amazing. If you plan on using the kitchen or cooking, it is recommended to bring supplies such as paper towels, dish liquid, sponge, coffee filters, and like necessities (TP). Due to the nature of renters, checking cleanliness of pots, pans, plates, silverware, glasses before use is a good idea (several required cleaning before use). These we in no way show stoppers and we look forward to a future return.
Weekend escape with the family was perfect. The home exceeded our expectations, awesome rental and surrounding area. The house was very clean and cozy. The bedrooms were perfect size and the master bath was an added bonus. Hot tub outside was super relaxing at night under the stars and outdoor fire pit had wooden stairs that lite up as you walked down keeping you safe.There was something to do for everyone in the family and plenty of room for gatherings. We would absolutely rent this home again!
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.
My family and I were very happy with our entire stay at the cabin. We had plenty of room in our rooms, common area, and bathrooms. We came for a family member’s wedding so the entire experience was wonderful.
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.
did not use the hot tub, the cabin was very nice and clean and comfortable, my son stayed on the couch we only used one of the bedrooms, the game room was very nice and we enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
This was such a cute property. It was clean and well kept. Plenty of room for our friends and family that were with us to to lounge and play games and enjoy the hot tub. We absolutely roasted marshmallows around the fire. Would absolutely rent this property again.
Easy check-in and check-out. Very clean and cozy. Loved the remote location. Exactly what we wanted for a truly relaxing vacation that we wouldn’t need a vacation from.
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.
Love this place! Our special needs son asked us to take him to a mountain cabin for his birthday and this place was perfect. Great location and amenities we absolutely loved it. The just was responsive to our pre trip communications and provided all necessary information.
Stayed at the cabin for a long weekend. The amenities are amazing and we enjoyed the nearby hiking. Can’t wait to visit again!

About the host
Hosted by Ghada Culler
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.
