A mountain retreat with exceptional furnishings. “Bear Hall” has both a deck which is lovely on a sunny day, and a screened in porch with a fire-pit to enjoy in the evening, sans bugs. The owners really want you to be comfortable and feel at home. There is a well-equipped kitchen with first-class LG appliances. Generous number of wine glasses. And count the bear decorations! Our family of eight adults was in town for a family wedding and Bear Hall was the ideal place for the long weekend.

Enjoyable! Great communication with owners/renters.

A couple things didn’t quite work, or a light was out, but all very minimal and the owners responded with in minutes normally.

Guests beware

The house is very close to Highlands which is convenient for going to and from town and local activities; however if is right off the highway so can be pretty noisy. Definitely not the quiet mountain getaway we expected. Overall the home is fine and had most of what you'd need for a stay however after we checked out the owners accused us of damaging their property in a fairly significant way. My credit card was charged with a $500 damage fee without any explanation or contact from the owners about the situation. We have stayed at countless VRBO properties in the past and I have never experienced anything like this nor have we ever had any damages to a property where we've stayed. We are very respectful and honest guests so this all came to a shock. When I reached out to the owners to ask about the damage and explain that it wasn't something we did or even noticed during our time there, they never even had the decency to respond. I did dispute the charge with VRBO and refunds were provided but all guests beware when you stay here in case this happens to you.

Easy as pie to check in. The house was clean and comfortable. The beds and pillows were good. The owner supplied almost everything we needed. There is a serious bear theme going on but then it’s not my house. We will be back!
