Papa Bear's River Cabin- 3 bedroom, 2 full bath, Riverfront

We really enjoyed our time at the cabin, it was very calm and peaceful, the house had everything we needed and was perfect for my family. My kids enjoyed the fishing, campfires, and the size of land to play on. We can't wait to come again when it's warmer out!

Absolutely. Very welcoming.

Location was lovely and we appreciated the gas fireplace.

Love this place

House was clean and comfortable

Great experience. Cabin was warm and inviting. Definitely recommend! Host was easy to work with.

Beautiful cabin and property grounds, loved the hot tub, we'll be back!!!!

My husband and I booked papa bears to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. The cabin was absolutely perfect. A little slice of heaven for sure and we already can not wait to come back. The hosts were very attentive and responsive and check in and out was a breeze. Thanks for making our anniversary memories so special. See you again!

Clean, easy access. great view of the river.

I stayed at this property with my family, including four children two of whom are babies. The place wasn’t cleaned properly before our arrival. The floors were visibly dirty, and we even found personal items left behind by previous guests, which made us question the hygiene standards right away, including popcorn in the sofa. One of the beds was covered in some kind of sticky residue, which was disgusting. The drywall wasn’t finished and the property was infested with invasive spotted lanternflies. They were everywhere on the porch and kept finding their way inside the house, creating a constant battle to keep them out. During our stay, we lost both power and water, which was incredibly inconvenient with babies in tow who need reliable access to basic essentials. I ended up being late to my best friend’s wedding, and couldn’t be a bridesmaid because of this. Despite this major disruption, we weren’t offered a partial refund. The neighbors were blasting music every single night, until 3 AM. This made it impossible to get a good night’s sleep. One of the checkout requirements was to clean up the property ourselves, which we did thoroughly. But why on earth were we charged a cleaning fee when the place wasn’t even clean when we got there? It seems hypocritical and unfair.

I loved that there was no other homes nearby that we could see The cabin was beautiful and so was the river we enjoyed the wildlife all around The caverns were also fun to visit

The house and property exceeded our expectations and our family enjoyed our stay. The bugs were pretty bad near the river but the large catfish catches made it worth it.

Stayed for Thanksgiving holiday with adult kids who live in VA. Perfect place for families of all ages. House was cozy, clean, well appointed and location on river was fantastic and short drive to Luray. Would definitely stay againd.

Very nice property. We enjoyed the “bear” theme. The kids enjoyed the firepit for s’mores and exploring the property.

We Love this home. Everything about this property is peaceful snd inviting. This was our 3rd vacation at Papa Bears and we cannot wait to return! Super clean and comfortable. Communication with the owner was immediate. The daily visits from the deer and turkeys were a plus. A1 rating . We dream about owning a cabin exactly like Papa Bears someday soon.

We stayed at this cabin for a few days and had a wonderful time. We loved the large yard and fire pit, and the river is very peaceful and serene. There is a semi-busy road behind the property, but it was not a problem for us. Access to the river is a little difficult as the bank is very high, but it didn't detract from our enjoyment.

I rented the cabin for a weekend getaway with my friends and this place did not disappoint!! The first thing Hemsley family
