We had a nice quiet time staying at the Bear's Den Cabin. Plenty of room for everyone to stay and really enjoyed have a fire in the fireplace each night. Was close to a few great hiking locations and had an excellent dinner at the Tavern.

The cabin itself was fine. The front porch is really nice. The bed in the downstairs bedroom is as hard as a rock and I really couldn't sleep on it. It needs some updating, too. The owners/managers were very nice and quick to respond to my questions. The restaurant on the property has great food.
