Nice setup, games, amenities for families. Great central location. Comfy beds, hot tub inside was a nice perk. Host was responsive to requests and very accommodating.

Very clean and organized house! The host was super responsive and friendly. We had a very pleasant staying!
Great stay! Very comfortable, clean, and entertaining home. Also great communication with the host. Convenient to so many places. We hope to stay again.
We had a lovely time at the Bear cottage. Our kids LOVED the game room and it was so helpful to have that in our downtime. We also loved the hottub every night after being on the slopes. Would definitely stay here again and recommend!
We had a great stay. The house is really pretty and very comfortable. It's stocked with all the necessary items and the owner was extremely helpful. The decorations were beautiful and the hot tub was awesome.
Took a quick weekend trip to Massanutten to kick off my birthday festivities and Bear Cabin couldn’t have been more perfect. 2 mins with 3 boys aged 6 and 9 and there was more than enough space, the games and amenities and decor were perfect to keep us busy when not at the indoor waterpark or snow tubing. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
My husband & I enjoyed our stay at Stephanie’s home very much. It was super clean & very comfortable. It had all the amenities that were listed. It is right beside the main road so there is some traffic noise during the night for light sleepers, but it was still a perfect stay! We would definitely recommend & would stay again ourselves!
Our stay was wonderful. Home was as described. It was very clean and as my son said "homey". We enjoyed all the extras in the home from the basketball game to all the boardgames. It was close to all the attractions. Host was also very easy to communicate with. Will stay again in the future.
Came to Virginia to ride our Harley and was looking for a place on paved flat ground to easily access property because we were trailering bike. This property was perfect. Paved roads, flat ground and plenty of parking space. (A bit close to a busy noisy road but nothing that wasn’t tolerable). Close to skyline drive and stores. The house was well stocked, clean and plenty of things to do. Excellent vacation home. We will return.
This house was perfect for a low key relaxing family getaway - something for everyone. All the games and activities were in working order and kept kids entertained for hours. We did some hiking in the area, but honestly the kids would have been happy to have never left the house!Everything was clean and as described. We were a little surprised that the shower side of the owners suite bathroom had no door separating It from the sleeping area. Not a deal breaker, but good to know. Toilet side had a door. We absolutely recommend staying at Bear Cabin!
This house was fantastic; we absolutely adored it. It was clean and welcoming. We loved the bear theme. The organized labeling of items was a great touch. The kitchen was well-stocked with good-quality pots and pans. The couch and beds were comfortable. We were tired after skiing, so we mostly watched TV and relaxed. However, there were plenty of other fun things available to do in the house. Its convenient location allowed quick and very easy access to all resort amenities. The host was exceptional, always prompt in responding. This residence will definitely be my top choice for future stays.
This home exceeded our expectations. The kitchen was well-stocked with dishes and cooking supplies. The sofas and beds were very comfortable. The rooms were spacious. We had 3 children with us and they enjoyed the basketball, PacMan, and other games. The grill and outdoor deck were perfect for cooking out. The kitchen table was a good size and we could fit the 8 of us comfortably. The house was very clean. It was great to have everything on one level. We enjoyed the water park, pool, go karts, and bumper cars. All within an easy drive. It was a wonderful weekend, and we hope to come back again. Thank you to a very gracious host.
We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Cabin to bring in the new year! It was super clean, well stocked and close to everything we needed. We can’t wait to come back and stay again.
