The place needs a deep clean lots of cobwebs and dead bugs and chips under couches. Table bench was questionable to sit on. The shower curtains were moldy. Plenty of parking. Beds were comfortable. Spacious.

Other than the housekeeping, the house was great. The house was overall somewhat clean but the duvets/comforters on some of the beds weren’t clean looking and one of the beds in the loft had what looked like mouse droppings on the sheets. The house had everything we needed to cook meals. It was great having the boat dock there as well and we enjoyed the time together as a family in the house.

Thank you for the 5-star rating for Bear Lodge. We're glad the house worked well for your family, that you enjoyed the boat dock, and that the kitchen had what you needed. We're sorry about the housekeeping issues you described. That falls short of our standards, and we've shared your feedback with our housekeeping team and pest control so they can thoroughly clean and inspect the bedding and address the loft issue before the next guests. We appreciate you staying with us—please come see us again soon! Madison, Railey Vacations

Great house for a getaway

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

Beautiful home great time

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

It’s all good!

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.
