Loved our stay!

We loved everything about this cabin. It was in the perfect location and was close to everything we wanted to do. We loved the cabin itself, from the inside to the outside, and our girls loved it as well. Our favorite part was seeing a bear our very first night right below the cabin! We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future.

Spring Break

Perfect cabin for our little family of four. The kids loved the pool table and having their own king sized bed. Our only disappointment was that we didn’t see any bears.

Wonderful!

The home was beautiful. We really appreciated the high quality items the home contained-nice bedding, toiletries, dishes and the labeled organization. The home was in the perfect location! Close to town but still felt secluded. It completely felt like a “home away from home” and was one of the best parts of our trip!

Relaxing family getaway!

We loved our stay at Bear in Mind! We had plenty of space indoors and out - one of our favorite things to do was simply grill and eat dinner at the picnic table on the upper deck. It was incredibly quiet and peaceful - perfect for relaxing! We had 6 people (4 adults and 2 kids ages 8 and 6) The kids shared the pull out sofa in the game room which they thought was really fun. Richele is a great host, very good communication all the way through. The cabin was stocked with all of the essentials which was helpful. Would definitely recommend a stay here!

Thanksgiving Week

Fantastic property and owners. Everything was exactly as described. Cabin has everything you could need for a great stay. Close to many places but also tucked away for privacy and peace. More than enough room for 4 people and could easily fit 5-6. Was lucky enough to see bears on 3 different occasions right off the back deck. Would absolutely stay again and recommend to anyone!
