A step above glamping to say the least. Rustic I saw reviews and made changes!

Parking: 2 places in driveway 4 across small gravel road and even more parking above that. The bear den is a loft with 2 queen beds and 2 twin downstairs one of the twin beds is in a draw under the day bed. With gas fireplace downstairs and electric fireplace upstairs you with be warm for sure. make sure you sign into WiFi for calling and please call me for anything. While rustic I assume you the sheets are 100% clean and I even use laundry sanitizer in every wash. The bear den town house might be more suitable for young adults. So if you are looking for something fancy this problem isn't the place for you. it's really a base camp for hiking, fishing, skying, tubing, and overall exploring .
The 🐻 den is a short walk down to stream. plenty of seating areas all over property and outdoor heater.The Bear Den is a rustic townhouse mountain get away. It's very remote, and you can walk up to the outlook spot. Even though remote there is high speed internet. No cable but ROKU and chrome cast.(ask for instructions if needed) Remodeled with 85% recycled ♻️ materials. The ceilings are tin from a old barn. Upstairs flooring is wood vinyl. Downstairs floors are concrete both perfect for child and pets.
I used unfinished lumber for the walls in the main living area. French doors, sinks, lighting and other little things came from habitat restore. The kitchenette is perfect size! The small oven is air fryer, toaster, bakes, and broils. Big enough for a pizza. There is a dining area inside but also 1 right outside French doors. There is another rental in the front. It is listed on here also. Plus you can rent them together (sleeps 10)There are some shared outdoor spots.encluding , and see some setting areas, no worries there are plenty of places to get privacy.

I'd pass on this one!
You can tell this property has never been inspected. The front door wouldnt lock, and owner knew about it! The sofa/bed downstairs was very uncomfortable. I could never figure out what lightswitch went to which light. Couldn't figure out the heat, so i froze. I could go on... I think the owner has other properties, which may be fine, but id pass on this one!

A Mountain getaway that needed cleaning
None of the sheets were clean - there were hairs on them. The mini fridge wasn't clean - I washed the inside and took out the pieces to wash them but I didn't finished. I rinsed them and left them in the sink. The addition/townhouse surely wasn't up to code - outlet covers and light switch covers were off. The sink in the 1 bathroom was not firm - it moved. The 2nd bed downstairs was a trundle bed - when we pulled it out there were long wood pieces on the sheet (maybe from the bed on top but I'm not sure). You definitely want clean sheets, to be able to lay your head down - thankfully we brought our own blankets and pillows and were able to use those. We were asked what time we were going to arrive to make sure that both places they had were going to be cleaned in time. We were going to be later than check-in, so it worked ok - but then it wasn't clean. It's a townhouse and you could hear the people talking next door, so I'm sure they heard us, as well. There was a thin wall in between, or even a door that was covered - I don't remember. It was disappointing because there were cute things & features. But it's go to be clean. If I had small children with the outlets not being covered, I would've been mad - there's no reason that shouldn't done. You have to say a trundle bed downstairs. And I would show a picture of the outside.

Disliked: Amenities
Parking was full when we pulled up. Place was unlocked and owner was in the house. Sink had dishes in it. Advertised to be a "2 bedroom" that "sleeps 6", upstairs had 2 double beds. Downstairs was a "double" mattress on a single frame that was not meant for 2 people. Limited pictures are misleading. Do not recommend. Overpriced and not worth it.

Lovely little spot. Gloria was incredibly responsive and flexible when I had to stay an extra day due to car trouble. The place was clean and had everything needed. Great spot to have pups.

Staying at the Bear Den
Tidy and modern. Clean and quiet. For a remote mountain cabin, easy to get to and paved until the very part of the drive. It was an enjoyable stay.
