This house was great and I'd highly recommend it. It was very clean and in great condition. Even though you could see a couple of houses to the right while on the front deck, the majority of the propoerty was surrounded by hills and trees, providing a very quiet and peaceful ennvironment. I obviously didn't get to use the huge firelplace since I was there in July, but that was one of the coolest features of the house for me. If you're looking for a quiet and private getaway, this place is perfect! The host was very responsive and great to work with as well.

Quiet and Relaxing

The location of the property is in a quiet area. We were able to go for morning walks and we enjoyed cooking out on the deck and relaxing in the hot tub. In the evenings, it was nice to watch the wildlife. We would most definitely return if ever in the area again!

Beautiful and quiet

I’ve always loved the area and wanted to get away with my special someone. This is a beautiful listing and the neighborhood is quiet and serene. We spent time in the hot tub and sitting on the porch. As well just being away from it all and being with each other. Highly recommended!

The location of this property was good. There were neighbors but only a few and it was spaced out so we felt fairly isolated. So quiet with deer, elk humming birds and squirrels. It was a peaceful setting and the cabin was comfortable and beautifully equipped with all we needed. We didn’t want to leave. It is that good!

Felt Like Home!

We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful cabin! We felt right at home and loved the fireplace and hot tub. The house is perfect for 2 couples as it's divided by the living room which provided nice privacy. The views are so peaceful up there as well and we were graced with a beautiful winter wonderland during our stay which was really nice! This cabin has really been cared for and the amenities for guests were really thought out as well. I loved the Bath and Body works soaps and the nice cozy robes, very nice touches! We got lucky with an early check in and since there was snow, we were provided with the option for a late checkout or additional night stay which was so thoughtful! 10/10 would definitely recommend!

Wonderful Home!

We stayed at Bears Gone Fishing during spring break with our family. The house was super clean and fully stocked with everything we needed. The front and back deck were amazing to sit out on and enjoy the mountain weather with loungers and nice outdoor furniture. The front even has small heaters which were awesome. The hot tub is brand new and absolutely perfect and so relaxing. This house was the perfect amount of space for our family of 4. We really liked the location of the house from restaurants and town. We will definitely be staying there again!!
