Life's A Bear Cabin Review

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was more than happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: This cabin was very well maintained! Very comfortable and cozy! The location was not far from the grocery store and restaurants. There is not much of a view of the mountain at the cabin, but we had a great time!

Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy
Loved the location, furniture and beds were great. Got to see a bear try to get in one trash bin, and successfully get into another. Host responded quickly to get the mess cleaned up! Bad for them, we enjoyed watching
