I had an amazing stay at the bear lodge for my friends birthday. We had a total of 9 guests and the house was very accommodating. The house was nice and felt like home abd we had so much space. The house had everything we needed for our stay. My one and only complaint would be that there is so many big spider webs that i wish were cleaned

My family and I had a phenomenal time. Only minor inconvenience was one of the bathroom faucets was a little bit wonky. We had to get one of the room power fixed but overall was a great time love that atmosphere. We thought we had a pool in the area or in the home similar to what was listed, but even though we didn’t, we still enjoyed our time..

The stay was a dream come true. Beautiful house ! Loved the high ceilings on the main floor. Please repair the mosquito nets in the bedrooms and take care of the small fies .Thanks for providing toilet paper! Take it off the list. The water in the lake was cold but swimmable. “We had joy we had fun.”Hoping to come back soon. Thanks! L

Property was beautiful. Washer broken— unable to use. We knew about it a couple of days prior. Lower bedroom musty smelling, damp/wet carpet.

Beautifully situated and welcoming. Plenty of space for all of us. love spending time just sitting on the dock with a book. Had a visit from the friendly bear and a lot of deer. I would come back again. Had some maintenance issues that did get resolved. The kitchen was well supplied. The beds were comfortable(Except for one) The road is not busy and easy to cross. The walk down to the dock was made easier by the steps and flat areas. Close to renting a boat and also close to the deep Creek State Park. We had great fun with the family.

Stay at Bear Lodge
The property is very nice. Photos are a little deceptive about size and view. Example: the lake is not nearly as close or as handy as portrayed. There are a number of things that did not work at the property. Outlets in several bedrooms did not work. Had to call IT to get tv's to work. parking certainly did not allow for 5 vehicles as stated. It is quite small. Hot tub was lovely. fire pit as well. very clean. well appointed. overall, enjoyed it very much. I would recommend it highly.
