Bear Den Log Cabin - Classic Family Mountain Retreat, Fireplace, Dogs Welcome

This spot is just okay. It's managed by a rental company and you can tell there's not any heart put into it.For example, the kitchen supplies are old and dinged up, there wasn't any salt available (what rental doesn't have salt?!), and the games, books, etc. are old and falling apart. They have a generic binder for the rental that they place in all their rental homes so it wasn't unique to this spot at all (e.g. had hot tub instructions even though this rental doesn't have a hot tub). You can just tell that this is one of those rentals they don't care about upgrading at all.Also, the code they gave us didn't work when we first got there. Thankfully, they had it resolved within 20 minutes but it wasn't a great first impression.This spot is... meh. Great if you need a home base while being out skiing, hiking, etc. but not great if you want a cozy and fun experience with friends/family.

Very charming, private and peaceful. Rainy days were not dreaded as relaxing in the cabin was very nice.

10/10 – Peaceful Retreat by the River in the Oregon WoodsOur stay at this beautiful house in the Oregon woods was simply magical. The home was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully prepared with everything we needed for a comfortable stay. What made it truly special was the sound of the running river nearby — so peaceful and calming, especially in the mornings and at night.We loved spending time on the deck, surrounded by towering trees, fresh forest air, and the soothing sound of nature all around us. It was the perfect spot to relax, unwind, and enjoy a slower pace of life.The location was ideal — private and quiet, yet close enough to trails and small towns for exploring. The hosts were kind and responsive, making sure every detail was perfect.We left feeling refreshed and grateful for such a peaceful escape. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a true Oregon nature retreat!

Absolutely beautiful setting and a charming log cabin. Lots of space inside and a good location in Welches near Mt. Hood. The condition of the kitchen and beds was not great- as described in the other reviews. The property management company was very responsive and helpful when an issue came up but we would not stay here again.

Really had a great time, thanks!

We had a very nice stay at the cabin. Great nature respite- especially loved that it was so close to the stream! Short drive to restaurants/groceries/wine! Check in/out was super easy & excellent communication with property manager.

Pros: Location, privacy, high ceilings, truly a cabin in the woods. The creek running down hill in the back was nice. Cons: The house seems like it was once a well cared for family cabin and is now more of an owned & managed rental property. It's bare bones and pretty dirty. There were cobwebs everywhere and while one would understandably expect some signs of the woods (bugs, modest cobwebs, etc.), this place seemed like it hadn't been properly cleaned in a while. Maybe they cleaned after the last guest and a while had since passed. I put my hand through a cobweb to flip on the light in the laundry room so clearly someone hadn't been in there for a while. There was a black fly infestation. We killed 30 large black house flies the first night, literally one every 15 minutes. Not to mention the 6-10 dead ones that were scattered about on the carpet and counters when we arrived. We almost left early. The upstairs bed was very loud and firm. Any movement whatsoever made loud squeaks. The shower head in the upstairs shower badly needs replacement as it sprayed out in every direction. Simply put, we would not rent this cabin again.

The cabin's location on the creek is lovely with plenty of privacy and a beautiful native setting. The cabin itself is quite dated with aging appliances and furniture, not terribly comfortable beds and overall needs some attention. A number of lights were not working making the master bedroom and bath very dark and annoying. There are absolutely no staples in the kitchen, not even salt. The kitchen had adequate utensils and cookware but it was strangely organized with utensils scattered over three different drawers in different parts of the kitchen. It just feels like the property manager and/or owner just don't care about the guest experience which is a shame as it could be a great vacation spot. In addition, we had asked for a 2 hour early check in and was informed that would be an extra 50 fee which just seemed mean. We ended up leaving a day early.

Great location. Quiet and clean.

What a beautiful property! I was a little unsure because of some of the reviews but they were so few and far apart I figured maybe some people can’t be pleased and I was right! It’s a beautiful log cabin encapsulated by lush woods and a surprisingly rushing creek which we loved. The cabin is clean, spacious and functional. The first cabin I’ve wanted to return to again and again so we’ll be back!

We were very disappointed with our stay for several reasons. First, the cleanliness of the home was far below what we expected—there were areas that seemed like they hadn’t been cleaned at all. Additionally, the mattresses were extremely uncomfortable, including the pull-out bed, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. To make matters worse, the host was extremely rude in their text messages, accusing us of bringing two dogs when we only had one, so this accusation was not only incorrect but also added unnecessary stress to our stay. The combination of uncleanliness, uncomfortable beds, and poor communication from the host made our experience far from enjoyable.

Liked the location and the Cabin, for the most part. Only minus was there was an odd smell downstairs near the bathroom and the cabin is a bit out dated. We also had a very hard time sleeping the bed, I am guessing is pretty old and was very loud whenever my husband or I tried to roll over, it would wake us up.

We stayed a few nights and did some hiking around the area. The cabin is clean and surrounded by the sounds of birds and a babbling brook. The tvs only play dvds, no cable or streaming, next time i would bring my roku, but that was okay, we kept busy. It was lovely and I'd stay again.
