We had a great experience at the Bear Lodge! We were in town for Turkey Bay and felt like the location was perfect. Very fast communication with the proporty owner when we contacted him. The place itself is clean and well stocked with essentials.

Response from VrboOwner on 1 Apr 2026
Not exactly sure how to respond to this, the hot tub was ready to go. There was zero correspondence to any issues. Not sure why they left a three star ??

The Bear Cave
Needed a place in the area during our trip to visit family. The Bear Cave was in a great location. Plenty of activities in the area, and several stores and local restaurants close by. The property was clean, and the host of very responsive if we had any questions. Would definitely stay again! Thanks again!

Just what we were looking for.
My husband, 14-yr old son and I took a quick trip to LBL to reset before my son's school and fall activities started. The Bear Cave was just what we were looking for. The property was in great condition and had all the amenities we need. The location was perfect for accessing the State Park and restaurants. We enjoyed using the hot tub in the evenings. Our only suggestion is to request a roll of paper towels. We would definitely stay again.
