    The cabin had not been cleaned after the last guests, but the host sent someone out ASAP. It was nice after that. The host was easy to work with.

    The location was amazing, and the cabin was very nice. The only reason I did not give our stay a 5 star rating was due to some mix up our cabin had not been clean when we arrived. Due to work schedule, we did not make it to the cabin until after ten at night, and it was very disappointing to find it not cleaned. I contacted the host and they did get someone to come clean it Saturday morning while we kayaked on the river. When we came in for lunch the cabin had been cleaned. I would stay here again because of the great location. It was very peaceful and I enjoyed kayaking, watching the eagle on the bluff opposite the house and sitting around the fire pit in the evening. We did recieve our cleaning fee back.

    We had a lovely, restful and relaxing time at Bear Cabin. The river was cool and clear but the embankment was a little steep. Nothing unmanageable. We booked this cabin for the screen porch and it did not disappoint! Morning coffee on the porch was perfect. We spent most of our time porch sitting and enjoying nature. The cabin is quaint and the kitchen is well stocked. We hope to be back!

    Pictures don't do this home justice; it's extremely clean and very well-equipped. The upstairs could be a cabin by itself; it is so large. The river is very close and the wildlife in the area is abundant and active. We had thousands of fireflies up in the trees every night we were there. Truly magical, feels like the middle of nowhere, but only 20 minutes to town. Definitely would stay again, preferably in the cooler months when we could use the wonderful fire pit.

    Our stay was great the first time. That we came back again. But we had some disappointments the mattresses need to be changed. They all roll to the middle. The first day they needed to cut grass. The second day they were fixing the stairs out front banging and sawing. Then some random gentleman came over and we going through the garage. We didn’t feel like we had the place to ourselves there was always something they had to get done. To find out they had some special people coming in after us that they were preparing for. It did t matter to ruin our privacy. So we were really disappointed.

    My family and I throughtly enjoyed this cabin and want to return soon( maybe this summer). We fished and caught a small trout and swim in the water. Kids played the whole time( wasnt even interested in tablets) and crashed when bedtime.

    This cabin was so peaceful and cozy! Stocked with everything you need. Beautiful view. You can walk down to the water to fish or swim. Cute bonfire set up with a swing. We all had a great time!

    A friends get together was a lot of fun at the Bear cabin. It is secluded clean fire pit. Lots of trees and privacy the only thing was we could not get the fire place to work but it didn’t matter. We will definitely be back and the water is a walk down a hill and the guys caught lots of fish. I just can not say enough good things about the place. BRING FIREWOOD WITH YOU.

    The location was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Communication was not the best. The place was beautiful but wasn't as well stocked as what we were used to. We couldn't find any dish rags and there was no coffee. I know some places stock more than others but no coffee really suprised me!

    Beautiful and well appointed cabin. It was in a beautiful setting on the river and we saw wildlife daily. The screened in back porch is so nice in the early morning and evenings. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend.

    Our family has stayed in cabins in La., Ms, Al, Tn, Ga, and NC. This is the absolute best cabin of them all. I've never had a cabin stocked as well as this one. The view is breath taking. We spent most of our time on the screened in back porch and at the fire pit. (You can get firewood at walmart.) Thank you for letting us stay in your hidden gem of a cabin!
