About this property

Peaceful Seasonal Wooded Nature Cottage close to everything

Welcome! It's time to come out of hibernation and getaway to the Bear Den Cottage. The beautifully decorated cottage will be your home away from home while tucked away down a dirt road, surrounded by wildlife and conveniently located near Lake Wallenpaupack, breweries, restaurants and hiking trails. Enjoy the easy access; convenient location and entire private property during your stay.

The cottage is located on a private dirt/stone road please bring a SUV as the roadway conditions change.

Host: I pride myself on offering a safe and clean environment with the feelings and comforts of home. Thank you

During your stay you will enjoy the entire well-appointed private cottage with contactless self check-in.

* Winter* During snow conditions I have the road plowed to access the property. Anticipate snow during your stay and that four wheel drive will be necessary to access the cottage along with snow conditions at the property. Shovels are provided if needed. Expect snow and icy conditions.

Close to lake

House was quiet nice little piece of property road was rough but there were big rain storms before we arrived. Houses around the property vacant very run down. Overall nice little house to hang out have a fire and be with a couple close friends. We mostly were on the lake fishing in our boat

Family trip

Contacting Steve is easy, the only thing I will suggest is that they need to get new mattresses (my back still hurt from that), and they need to get those mice’s out of the house, other than that is a nice place to stay.

Very clean and quiet retreat

Steve’s place is incredibly clean and well maintained, inside and outside. The woods surrounding the house are quiet and pretty. Games and Netflix made my kids happy. Great coffee machine and accommodations pleased the adults! Will definitely return!

Cozy layover

My wife and I stayed here for 1 night. We didn’t get to fully enjoy the place because of having limited time. However, the time that we did have there was very enjoyable. The house was very nice, quaint, cozy, and comfortable. Steve was very accommodating with enabling us to check in early. We would definitely stay here again.

Our Stay at Bear Den

We enjoyed our 5 days at the Bear Den. It was very relaxing, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the grill outdoors as well. A true pleasure of the location was being surrounded by birds and bird song during out stay.

Cozy and Quiet

If you like a quiet area with deer roaming around without an apparent fear of humans, this is perfect for you! The place has been updated and feels cozy. We both like how the living room was decorated to make it feel homey. We will definitely stay here again when visiting the area.

rustic and relaxing

It was so clean with adorable touches in the home! The patio was perfect for a glass of wine in the evening. It was close to everything, but quiet and relaxing. The shower was a bit small for larger people, but beds were very comfortable. The list of places to eat and explore was really helpful! We found so many great spots to eat!

Our stay 12/13 - 15/2023

This property was very comfortable and clean. The little extra touches like rolled towels and candy on each bed were absolutley charming. You had wines available and fresh cold water in the fridge. It gave the whole place a very comfortable vibe.

We had fun keeping occupied inside. The weather was cold and rainy due to tropical storm, so we didn't get to do our outside activities we had planned. The cottage was decorated nicely with cute seasonal touches. Over all me and my friend had a nice stay

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
Hello I am Steven and I would like to welcome you to my happy place. Bear Den Cottage was created to share with guests the wonders of this great area and the peace that it has brought us. Our goal is for you to reconnect with the outdoors and breath in the spirit of the lake region.

Why they chose this property

I started enjoying the outdoors through tent camping and overlanding. Over the years I upsized to a camper and was introduced to the Lake Wallenpaupack area by wonderful friends who are now our extended lake family.

What makes this property unique

It is my pleasure to offer this cottage to you and to share the experience of the property which offers the best of the outdoors and convenience of downtown.
