Deserving of the 10/10 rating
When originally booking, I was skeptical about the 10/10 ratings. Upon entering I knew exactly why this house was rated a perfect 10. Instructions were clear, the labeling of the lights were perfect, and it was very clean. Felt like home away from home. This is the only place I will stay when visiting the area. Will book again.

Convenient Getaway
The property was clean and well-appointed. It had lots of space for our family of four to spread out. The hot tub was wonderful, and the convenience of being just a few minutes from the waterpark and ski slopes was amazing. The hosts were gracious with early checkin and late checkout, which was an added bonus. We would definitely return to the property!

Roomy, comfortable, and clean
Stayed here for a few days of skiing at Massanutten - while the snow was somewhat lacking, the Bear Den was awesome. Plenty of room for games, hot tubbing, gathering. Would definitely come back.

Great stay at the Bear Den
We enjoyed our time at this home. Very spacious for our family, we especially enjoyed the back sunroom. It was close to all the Massanutten activities which allowed us to minimize driving time.

Excellent Fall Get-a-way
Stayed a few days in the Massanutten area to enjoy fall activities in Virginia. This home was centrally located to the places we wanted to explore. It more than met our needs, as it felt very homey, comfortable, and quiet. The jacuzzi felt good on sore muscles after biking and hiking, and the amenities of the home were just fine. I would definitely stay here again when I next come back to this area.

Best we could ask for!
This home was everything I didn’t know I needed! One floor living was amazing - I always give my parents the main floor bedroom, but it was nice we could all be on one level together. There was plenty of room to spread out during our stay! The kids begged for showers (as if that ever happens) so they could get in the hot tub! They’re the cleanest they’ve been in years! ;) Everything was lovely and Leah couldn’t have been more accommodating. Very grateful for Leah and her home as they provided a weekend of memories to last a lifetime!

The house was exactly what we needed. It was perfectly clean and the manager is very easy to communicate with. We especially loved the outdoor grill and hot tub which was very well maintained. 10/10
