The space
BEAR PARK CABIN is a redwood 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home designed with a wood and granite interior. Included is a wood and ski storage room; a large wrap-around deck, all nestled in the trees. AND, includes its own park! Nothing like it! Inviting, with long stone pathways for you to casually stroll through the forest with an evening beverage, or morning coffee. Throughout the forest are gnome-homes, with many raised stone flowerbeds.
Seating areas: wooden Adirondack chairs; a log swing; a hammock; picnic table; and benches scattered along the pathway.
Wooden animal statues are found throughout the park, especially the protective life-size Mother Bear with two precious cubs at her feet! All hand carved.

WINTERTIME: the park is usually buried in snow, yet the wildlife occasionally come for a visit. We provide peanuts for you to feed the critters, like squirrels, chipmunks, and blue-jays.
Other wildlife visitors may stop by for a visit, including a family of moose; a fox; deer; rabbits; and maybe a small bear.
In the evening, trees throughout the park can be lit with a sparkling and colorful display. One feels like they're in a snow globe sitting in front of the crackling fireplace, looking out.

Access to trout fishing on one of two private lakes, nearby. Stocked multiple times yearly. Feel free to bring a paddle-board or other small watercraft.

Other things to note
Access to BEAR PARK CABIN is via Fall River Road. This is a two-lane paved county road, kept in very good plowed condition throughout the snow season. The journey up and down is beautiful, but can also be slippery in the winter months, so please drive carefully and obey the posted speed limits (35 mph in most areas). MOST IMPORTANTLY, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel-Drive vehicles (with SNOW TIRES or CABLES/CHAINS) are necessary to navigate Fall River Road in heavy winter conditions. It is recommended to book a rental car through "TURO" where you can request and be sure your vehicle will be equipped with SNOW TIRES!

Mountain Retreat
The cabin was fabulous and upon arrival we could tell immediately how much it meant that our stay was enjoyable and convenient. Our host had stocked several treats and other everyday items to make our stay memorable. We had a few questions along the way and our host were the most attentive and informative of any host I have ever experienced. The cabin is definitely high country, but if you are looking for a quite retreat surrounded by beauty this is the place. We will certainly be back in late summer to see more of natures wonders in this amazing little gem.

Perfect Post-Christmas Vacation
We recently had the pleasure of staying at Frank and Kenny’s cabin and it surpassed all of our expectations. The house is so charming. The attention to all details is impeccable, and each part of the house exudes a warm and inviting atmosphere. The kitchen is equipped with everything one might need during their stay. The bedroom furnishings were very comfortable. Each bed was equipped with heating pads and multiple blankets that were very much needed after a day in the snow. One of the highlights of the property is the outdoor space. Our 3 boys enjoyed every moment trekking through the snow and building snowmen on the deck. The property is lit up in the evenings and is truly magical. We had the best time feeding the birds and squirrels off of the deck and multiple times, they would land and eat directly from our hands, which for little ones is mesmerizing.The cabin is a short drive to numerous towns worth visiting, however, playing games at the cabin, sledding down the hill, utilizing all wintry activities on the property is more than enough entertainment. Kenny and Frank deserve accolades for their outstanding hospitality. We have rented numerous homes and this one by far was one of our best experiences. The check in process was seamless, they were always prompt to respond, and truly went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. We would not hesitate to recommend renting this property and are eager to return with our children!
