"Close to food and shopping. "

"First of all it was immaculate. Smelled like fresh cedar. Decor was lovely and enjoyed much time on lower deck. Beds were comfortable! Hot tub was hot and lots of towels provided. Left us fresh flowers and some welcome snacks for our arrival. Overall really nice home with everything you needed to cook great meals. Nice that they provided lots of dish towels and all the soaps/laundry/DW and even foil, plastic baggies and k cups, extra propane. If I could give 4.5 starts I would because the WiFi was a little wonky as well as mid level water pressure, but on the top of a mountain one might expect that to extent. Not sure anything they can fix. For a party of 5 (including 2 college aged young men) was hard to sit in the couch area all together. A sectional might work better. No AC unit in bunked bedroom so that room got stuffy unless opened the doors and turned down the AC in the main room. Last night of stay we grilled but the grill wouldn’t go past 300 degrees so had to bag that plan (lots of propane) but otherwise we found everything functional and comfortable. "

"Excellent host. Beautiful property!"

"Love the location it was very convenient for us. Only thing I didn’t like was bed was too hard for me. Will stay again"

"Really nice place, staff super nice"

"The location was perfect and quiet. Plenty of space for the dogs to run around. The place itself was very clean and had pretty much everything you would need. The central AC was nice to have in the summer heat."

"This was our third visit to this home. Check in was easy, it is conveniently located to the lake swimming area and Trough Creek State Park. The hiking trails around the cabin are great! Everything is clean and well maintained. The kitchen has everything you need even for a group of 11. Large pantry space and a second refrigerator are appreciated! We will be back!"

"The pool was nice and the people were friendly local people. "

"Bear's Retreat was the perfect getaway spot to explore the Raystown Lake area and spend quality time with family and friends in absolutely stunning surroundings. The house itself was definitely spacious enough for a large group and was enjoyed by all, from blowing bubbles on the deck with a 5 yr-old after a day swimming with fish at Tatman's Run Beach to a 62 yr-old hustling everyone else at pool in the rec room. Having a second fridge in the kitchenette in rec room was a huge plus for a large group! The host was very responsive through booking and the stay. We would absolutely stay here again!"
