Recommend!

My son and I enjoyed our time at the house immensely. Very close to Cass, great fire pit, and the hot tub is an added bonus. Did not care for the neighbor across the street riding his loud dirt bike into the night, but otherwise a perfect stay!

A Perfect Retreat

This is a great mountain getaway. From the moment I arrived, it was evident that this was going to be a special experience. First and foremost, the location was idyllic. Tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the city, yet conveniently close to local attractions, the cabin provided the perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility. Surrounded by breathtaking scenery, you are immediately immersed in the beauty of nature. The property itself is great. Impeccably maintained and tastefully decorated, every detail has been carefully thought out to ensure a comfortable and enjoyable stay. From the cozy living spaces to the well-equipped kitchen, you’ll feel right at home from the start. One of the highlights of the stay is the outdoor amenities. Whether lounging in the hot tub, grilling on the comfortable and accommodating porch, or enjoying the fire pit, there is no shortage of ways to relax and unwind. It is evident that the owners have put a lot of thought and effort into creating a space where guests could truly escape and rejuvenate. In addition to the physical aspects of the rental, the customer service was exceptional. From the initial booking process to departure, the property management team was attentive, responsive, and accommodating. Any questions or concerns were addressed promptly, making the whole experience seamless and stress-free. Overall, this cabin and the customer service exceeded my expectations in every way.

Great weekend in Snowshoe!

We had a wonderful time staying in Dunmore for a weekend in Snowshoe. The check in process was very easy, the house was very clean and even looked nicer than the photos, and the host was responsive when we had questions come up. We would definitely come back to enjoy another weekend at this property!

Great cabin!

Had a great time at the cabin. Owner was very communicative regarding hot tub maintenance that occurred during our stay. Wish there wasn't a street light at the end of the driveway so we could have seen the stars better at night. Overall, we enjoyed our time and had a relaxing stay.

Cute, clean, great location

This was a get together for 3 60+ ladies. The home was clean and nicely decorated and everything in working order. Any issues are addressed immediately with the owner. The hot tub was great. It was a great location for visiting Green Bank, Cass etc. It is well equipped with everything you’d need for preparing meals. For those reasons I gave it 5 stars. However, there are a couple things people may want to know in advance and that is the hot tub is on the ground floor. You have to walk outside and down the steps and around under the deck for the hot tub. Not an issue unless you have mobility issues. Also the only bath is on main floor. Also, the only oven is a toaster oven so you can’t bake a turkey ;) I would definitely recommend the Bears Den

Great location for Cass Railroad

AJ was extremely responsive and easy to work with. The cabin itself was clean, well stocked, and very comfortable. It is NOT air-conditioned, but it was kept quite cool by the 5 or so fans because it’s a wooded lot. We had a great stay and will recommend the cabin to our friends who ride the Cass yearly!

The Perfect Summer Escape

The cabin is beautifully appointed and outfitted with everything required for an extended stay. It also serves as a perfect launching point for many daily adventures. Within a short driving distance we visited Buffalo Lake to trout fish, the Cass Scenic Railway, Green Bank Observatory, the Greenbrier River and Trail, Droop Mountain Battlefield, Cranberry Glades, Beartown Rocks, Snowshoe Mountain and Gaudineer Scenic Area in the Monongahela Forest. If you are wanting to truly get away from it all and immerse yourself in the beauty of West Virginia, The Bears Den retreat is the perfect place for you. We will definitely be returning.

The Perfect Little Get Away

If you are looking for a place to unplug and unwind this is the place to be! We couldn't have asked for a better place to stay. The cabin was relaxing and enjoyable. It was extremely kid-friendly but also enjoyable to the grownups too. We would definitely stay here again and again and again!

Vacation

The cabin is absolute beautiful. But it is right off the main road you hear traffic all night. The property is not on 5 acres it sits on a wooded lot. All in all it was nice seen a few baby deer an a momma deer. We enjoyed the sounds of wild life
