This cabin was the perfect little weekend getaway destination for going to Big Trees and the nearby reservoir. The host was just a call away but was so thorough with instructions that we didn't need to contact for help. We did see a brown bear right outside the cabin at one point so beware! But other than that great affordable place

Our stay

The house is super cute, great location, quiet peaceful neighborhood in the woods! The only thing was the house was not very clean dust and cobwebs on the bedrooms, the door knobs were sticky, but otherwise a super cute place.

Cozy cabin.

Great cabin! The bedrooms are very spacious with comfortable beds. Owner does have to go on and fix the shower head and the tv upstairs. Besides that, everything is great.

Cabin getaway

Me and 7 friends stayed two nights and it was perfect! There was snow on the ground and the fire was toasty. The cabin is a great size for it to feel homey and comfortable without feeling squished.

Winter Wonderland

Black Bear Den is cozy and comfy. Brand new floors, carpet, decorations and plenty, plenty of beds. We happened to be there during a Winter Wonderland. We highly recommended renting snow shoes and trekking down the pristine and quiet trail at Spicer Snow Park. The cabin had everything we needed and we would stay there again!

Great quiet place to stay!

Everything was excellent and process was easy. Only little "complaint" was that the cooking pans/trays were a bit under cleaned.... No big deal as there was plenty of dish soap and we did the next group who stays there a favor and cleaned them up to a sparkle! Would not hesitate to stay here again and again!!

Comfortable

Cozy comfortable place. Could have used a few washcloths as there was only body wash soap available. Probably just an oversight. Loved staying there.

Snowed in Cozy Cabin

Thank you for a wonderful stay! My husband and I were able to unwind and relax. We ended up getting snowed in with our two pups but were so thankful we had a place that kept us safe and warm. David was extremely accommodating and responsive since the day we booked. We appreciate it all so much. We were all very comfortable and will definitely be back.

Cozy

It was a tad hot upstairs but overall very pleasant! ALSO you have now 4 bottles of maple syrup that have been accumulating over the years so have fun with that πŸ˜‚ it was nice and cozy but it’s scary outside at night 😬 thanks again!
