Beautiful, quiet stay

What a wonderful cabin! It is nestled in a private property with other cabins all with a bear theme. The property was everything we had hoped! We loved it and hope to go back some time. The fact that it allows dogs was crucial for us, so thank you for allowing us to bring along our furry family members.

Peace and quiet

Wonderful property with everything you could ever need in a rental. Multiple properties on site so would be a great multi family vacation. Bring your creek shoes and take the gravel road beside the creek for a great spot to play in the creek. We would definitely stay here again.
