    The location of this property, easy access to the river. Canoes are a bonus! All kinds of wildlife. Neighbors close by and friendly. Perhaps an outside shower.

    Host communication was top-notch! The cabin was very comfy and cozy. The hot tub was in excellent working order and we took time to enjoy that each day of our stay. The kitchen was well-appointed and the gas fireplace provided warmth and charm. We enjoyed a roaring fire in the large, open fire pit each night of our stay, too. There was an ample firewood supply, and the wagon made it easy to haul to the fire pit. We were lucky to have two beautiful clear nights to look at the sky while the fire kept us warm.The gas grill on the deck was also in great working order and we used that to prepare our steaks one night.The king bed was very comfortable and the pillows worked just right. All in all, this was a really wonderful weekend get-away destination and we hope to return again.

    The cabin very cozy, and the owners spent a great deal of time and effort to not only provide all the information we needed about how to operate the various appliances and entertainment, but they also made the cabin comfortable and welcoming. Also, the hot tub was well-maintained and was a very nice addition to our experience. The cabin and the nice walk to the river made our time there very enjoyable.

    This cabin is absolutely beautiful, cozy, and rustic, but with ALL the modern conveniences and additions you could ever want! It is sparkling clean, beautifully appointed, and has a full kitchen, warm electric fireplace, big jacuzzi tub in the Master, a screen porch AND open deck, a great hot tub, and gorgeous river front property just a lovely 3 minute walk away. We wanted a quiet, pet-friendly escape for our holiday, and this was the perfect place. I highly recommend Bear Timbers and would love to return!

The host was very responsive and accommodating during our stay. Luray is a short 15-20 minutes away with lots of great activites and things to see. Couldnt ask for more.

    This house lives up to its billing. While it isn’t isolated within its own community, it is far enough off the beaten path you’ll feel like you’ve gotten away, but not so far that you can’t easily get whatever you need after a short drive. Having river access is awesome; all we had to do was drive up to our drop in poly and kayak the ten river miles back to the house. The next day, we drove the car to our take out point and did another ten miles by dropping in right there. The hosts are on top of anything you might need. The river is a little bit of a trek but all that did for us was make us feel more attuned to the outdoors! Our dog loved being able to walk and sniff to her hearts content on the property and also enjoyed stretching her legs at the massive local dog park in Front Royal. We will absolutely be back again.

    The property was clean and so well stocked - the kitchen has spices and was even stocked with a hand mixer. The owners live nearby and we're available as a resource for ideas. They were also super responsive to any questions we had.It's a must stay!The road in was a little dusty, and the river had quite a bit of gnats. Bring big spray and a good hat!Otherwise, gorgeous property!

    The cabin was very clean & had everything we needed. Had a slight hiccup with check-in but the owner was immediately on top of it. Billy was very attentive and responded quickly. As stated in the description, the river is located down the driveway but wished it was closer. Overall, we had a great time. Went to Luray Cavern & stopped at some distilleries & vineyards. Cooter’s was hysterical.

    Bear Timbers cabin is a quaint and lovely home. The home provided all the things we needed during our short trip (2 nights). Our mornings consisted of taking a nice walk to the river which is located a short walking distance from the cabin. We enjoyed the views of SNP while soaking in the hot tub. The cabin was very clean and well kept. We are not tap water drinkers, but after reading the welcome manual we did drink from the tap and it was very clean tasting and refreshing. We enjoyed our stay here and hope to return in the future.

    The cabin was very clean, well furnished, and well stocked with supplies. The location is private, and the views from the river are very pretty. The town of Luray is a short drive away, so grabbing a bite to eat or a scoop of ice cream at local restaurants and shops is easy. The cabin also has a nice gas grill that was perfect for our steak night. We enjoyed our stay very much!

    🎶 Almost heaven, $%&* Virginia Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees Younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze 🎶 We had a wonderful family trip to Bear Timbers cabin. Spent our days hanging out on the river, listening to Neil Young, Johnny Cash, John Denver, & watching the Summer Olympics in a clean & beautiful air conditioned cabin. Grilled up some steaks & burgers at night. Made smores around the campfire. Great trip all around!! My kids give it one million stars. We had an absolute blast! Thank you for the hospitality & accommodations :)
