Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: We LOVED the Running Bear rental. It was beautiful, clean, peaceful, and well maintained. The game room with pool table and the deck with hot tub were spaces we used frequently. The master bedroom with fireplace and hot tub was beautiful! We also enjoyed the community pool and seeing bears roam the neighborhood in the mornings and evenings. We were theire with our adult children and grandkids and a great time was had by all of us.
