What a great vacation we had and it was due, in large part, to the lovely accommodations at The Bear Necessities. What a comfortable property, with lots of creative and thoughtful touches throughout. The host is extremely approachable with any comment or need you may have. I’m hoping for another stay here soon.

Great house centrally located.

The Bare Necessities was a great house for our family get together. It's located centrally for all the national attractions and places of interest. The house is set up so you are able to visit, cook, play games and no one is left out. There is a great deck off the back to sit and visit with awesome furnishing. Chelsea was also great to work with. We would definitely stay here again.
