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!!

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!

Family Trip

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!
