We really enjoyed our stay! After realizing the drive into the property was steep and curvy, we decided to not go out to dinner. We found that the kitchen was exceptionally well stocked and cooking was very easy. We especially enjoyed the porch fireplace. The walk to the creek was steep but we were rewarded with some beautiful spring flowers. A great cabin with lots of nice amenities!
The cabin was great. It was very clean, the beds were comfortable and the views were beautiful. The owners were very accommodating and kind. Will definitely stay again.
Incredible home and location and set up! House had everything you could need and more! We thoroughly enjoyed the fireplace on the patio and inside as well. Hot tub was used daily as a cold chill came through during our stay! Games, towels, toiletries, full kitchen. Amazing! I will warn, if you have trouble with stairs, this is not the place for you but for us that wasn’t an issue. Will stay again!!
My family and friends have stayed at this property for two days. Beautiful property. The host helped me with every questions I had prior and during of our stay. We will definitely be booking this property again next time.
The house was gorgeous!!!! It was so spacious and very well maintained. The Host were extremely pleasant and helpful if we had any questions. I enjoyed just being able to relax and spend some time away from the city! Definitely would recommend!
The cabin was perfect! The rooms were spacious, clean & comfortable. The porches were wonderful for morning coffee & a fire. The toys, high chair, baby gates & pack n play made my life as a mom so much easier! The walk down to the water was a little tougher than expected but a beautiful walk nonetheless. My family enjoyed every minute & we will be back!
It was extremely peaceful and magical. We enjoyed every moment of our stay. From waking up to the sound of the river, and we actually got to meet several fawns. It was great. I thought my kids would be bored, but everyday was a great adventure for them. We will be back.
Our group had such a great time staying here over a long weekend. The house was very well stocked, super clean, and had plenty of space for all. If youre looking for some time in the mountains, this is a perfect spot!

Everything was beautiful I enjoyed my Birthday weekend there the only thing was the Tv in the master bedroom would not show any pictures and the tv on the downstairs porch where the hot tub was wouldn’t show either other then that very nice.
Beautiful cabin! Had everything we needed.Hosts were available whenever we needed them.We will definitely be back next year!Only suggestion would be a cornhole set.
Fantastic property. Included common items around the cabin that were not expected, basic spices, sandwich bags, even tubes for the river. Great WiFi. Overall great stay. Would recommend.
We had a wonderful stay at the River Bear Lodge. The house is even nicer than the photos. The kids loved having the river in the back. We found so many fun things to do close by including white river rafting, tubing and hiking. One thing I will mention is that if you are renting a car to come here you might want to consider an awd vehicle. My sister rented a small sedan and had trouble on some of the hills. We would definitely stay here again!
Love the views. The river is amazing. Front porch fire place had a ton of activity. Greatful that the hosts think of small detials and it came in handy! Would recommend.
