Thanksgiving Treat

Perfectly suited to our family , with everything you could possibly need for cooking and serving a gathering…… while there was room for more, we were 4-5 , but had family over for meals and games. Beautiful views, wonderful wood burning stove and plenty of space to spread out. Recommend!!!!!

Bear Paw in July

"The Nest" offered homey, comfortable and very spacious accommodations. It was just me, my husband and our two grandsons who loved having their own floor downstairs with a large screen TV, and games with stuffed bears to hug! The home was clean and very well appointed with a lovely porch area nestled among the trees in the beautiful Bear Paw Resort. We do hope to return next year!

The host was very nice. She gave us an extra day for free because it was supposed to rain for most of our stay! The place was beautiful and very peaceful. We loved it and will rebook for sure!!
