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.

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.

Nice little Cabin - perfect for a quick getaway!

We really enjoyed our stay at the Bear Den - we didn’t have snow like we would have liked but it was such a cute little property. Being decorated for Christmas was an added bonus!

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.

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.

Nice cottage near lake Wallenpapauck

Very nice and cozy cottage to stay with a family of four near lake Wallenpapauck. Super clean and modern inside. Outdoors area is great - really like the firepit and the grill. Pretty close to everything at the lake. Would definitely recommend to my friends. Thank you, Steve.

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

Girl get away

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
