Wonderful secluded property with easy access. Private covered porch was our favorite part of the property and it is a comfortable cabin for 6 people. The only drawback is that there is no place to hang clothes in the master bedroom. There at least should be a stand alone hanging rack in the master or office area. Suitcase holders would also be a nice addition.

Response from VrboOwner on 6 June 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience and for the kind words about the property and porch. We are sorry for the inconvenience caused by not having a place to hang clothes in the master bedroom and will look into this. We will also review your suggestions about adding a standalone hanging rack and considering suitcase holders. Your feedback is very helpful and appreciated.

One cave six bears

A great stay with several adults and children (kids want to go back early next year). Overall positive experience. Would love to see a few more dish towels and potholders but a very minor thing. It was in a lovely neighbor with scenic views. Would go back!

Loved this place! Wanted to extend our stay and will choose this place again. House was a perfect layout for us. Husband worked while we played. Office was perfect for that. Our only needs were instructions that dishwasher need vinegar and directions to nearest trash dumpster.

Heaven

If you’re looking to stay in the area, look no further. The 4 Bears, 1 Cave property is clean, in a great area, and has all the amenities you need. Sitting on the back deck feels like heaven. The deck looks out into a wooded area. Wild horses wander by frequently, a scene I only believed occurred in movies. Elk and deer visit as well.
