In the evening, trees throughout the park can be lit with a sparkling and colorful display. One feels like they're in a snow globe sitting in front of the crackling fireplace, looking out.

Other things to note
Access to BEAR PARK CABIN is via Fall River Road. This is a two-lane paved county road, kept in very good plowed condition throughout the snow season. The journey up and down is beautiful, but can also be slippery in the winter months, so please drive carefully and obey the posted speed limits (35 mph in most areas). MOST IMPORTANTLY, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel-Drive vehicles (with SNOW TIRES or CABLES/CHAINS) are necessary to navigate Fall River Road in heavy winter conditions. It is recommended to book a rental car through "TURO" where you can request and be sure your vehicle will be equipped with SNOW TIRES!
Beautiful cabin and very nicely decorated. They paid attention to all of the details and made sure we enjoyed our stay. Would definitely stay again and highly recommended!
It was an amazing experience to stay here at Franks Mountain Cabin, his place was absolutely gorgeous, the scenes view was unreal, perfect choice, definitely we will come back next year. Also Frank the host was very helpful and friendly, make us feel like at home.
This cabin was everything it was described as. It was so clean and lovely. It had everything we could have needed and more. We loved sitting in the living room watching the birds, squirrels and chipmunks. One evening we sat outside under the propane heaters, in the ‘magical forest’ and set peanuts on our laps and actually had the chipmunks eating from our laps! How fun! A fun thing to do is go hiking nearby at St Mary’s Glacier trail. There is a beautiful lake at the top. We even got to see a moose and her calf while there. A great place to eat in town is Beau Jo’s pizza. Fantastic pizza! All in all, we had a fantastic time and will definitely come back. Frank is fantastic to deal with. Any questions we had, he got back with us immediately. He was very helpful. Definitely 5/5
Best friend and I stayed at this wonderful cabin in the woods for 4 days this past month. From the communications from owners to the drive up the mountain to cabin all was perfect. Kitchen has everything you could need.plenty of ice. The bedrooms are cozy and beds comfortable. Plenty of blankets and pillows. Sofa very comfortable,firewood for fireplace,right there. Deck,the deck. Comes equipped with cutest Disney like creatures. They visit everyday. We liked setting out in the private park and waiting for the lights to come on. Magic!!! There's a Safeway approximately 10 miles from cabin,good restaurants, coffee shop. Once you're settled in the cabin, it's hard to leave.
What can I say? Our experience was perfect. The cabin was spotless upon arrival and the property is right out of a story book. The hosts thought of every possible amenity to make our stay comfortable, memorable, and relaxing. I had mentioned it was going to be my 50th birthday and was delightfully surprised with a birthday balloon and card, a bottle of champagne, and tasty snacks to start off my celebration. Communication was a breeze and, honestly, it was like talking with an old friend. The second day of our stay was cold and rainy, but we made a fire in the wood stove and the cabin stayed cozy and warm. It was the prefect Colorado mountain vacation we were looking for. We would 100% stay here again.
Bear Park Cabin was the perfect stay for our family. The personal park in the backyard had so many fun details and the birds and critters were adorable to interact with. Frank and Kenny provided incredible communication throughout our stay including tips on how to feed the chipmunks and squirrels by hand. It was a highlight of our trip! We will be recommending this cabin to our friends and family and highly suggest you stay here too!
Loved the cabin, super nice, will definitely go back!
Our stay was too short! The cabin is exactly as shown and more. It is very clean and FULLY equipped for anything you might need; all we had to do is bring some food. :) The outside property too is beautifully landscaped and provides several sitting areas to enjoy the wildlife. We particularly loved the squirrels and chipmunks! Communication with the owner was always simple and he was always available if we needed anything......even checked in on us during a brief hail storm. Loved, loved, loved this place! You won't be disappointed. Thanks guys for everything!
The cabin was very charming and the location is beautiful. The owners really go out of their way to make sure you have a great stay.
Wonderful atmosphere and beautiful property. Had an amazing stay - had everything that could be needed and more.
Our stay here was magic!! Our two kids had the best time exploring the little path outside and the different seating areas. I could have sat out there listening to the birds all day. The owner was a great communicator and always mentioned to reach out if we needed anything. House was nice and clean, comfortable beds, comfy couch! Would definitely recommend anyone to stay here.
This was a trip planned with my son and husband for a concert at Red Rock. This cabin was the perfect location. Easy to get to Red Rock but also near so many other points of interest. Quaint little towns, Idaho Falls and Golden. Plus lots of hiking trails. The cabin itself for me was like something out of a storybook. The intetior was immaculate and very homey and comfortable. The grounds were also very well maintained with a walkway thru the backyard that magically light up at night. The wildlife was all around us. The owners were very responsive and made this vacation the perfect getaway. You could literally show up with just a change of clothes and a toothbrush and be good to go. My only regret was not staying longer. Would definitely recommend staying at this cabin. Looking forward to a return visit.
The prices was simple and the owner was in constant contact. Excellent experience!
Really an amazing home. It was well decorated for Christmas and the lights outside on the trees with the snow was perfect. Perfect place for a getaway. Our cell service was spotty (T-mobile) so do have all necessary check in info prior to heading up the mountain - Just in case. 10/10 would recommend
This is a very beautiful property. Hosts have gone out of their way to make this place very special. It is warm and cozy with special detail to decor. The outside garden area is exceptional. The pictures on line do not due it justice. There are so many unique places to sit and just enjoy where you are. Frank and Kenny are wonderful hosts and will meet your every need. We will definitely be back,
If you are looking to get away this place is awesome. It is literally on the side of the mountain. The cabin owners are great just minutes to respond, the gift basket was nice as well. This place has pretty much everything for the kitchen bring some meat, sides, snacks and get it done. Master bed was huge and comfortable. We did st Mary’s glacier trail twice the view is incredible, Mt evans and summit lake twice as well. Argo mill was pretty cool, red rocks was close and fun as well. Downtown Denver was 45-50 minutes away. We saw moose twice in neighborhood, mule deer in yard 3-4 times, and the squirrel lol, Mt evans elk, sheep, goats, and marmots marmots marmots Eric’s foreign food was ok, prices were good, kinda rough looking inside lol. Casinos are pretty close we didn’t go this time though. This place is 10 stars outta 5.
Frank went above and beyond making sure we were comfortable and enjoyed our time! He was quick to respond to any questions we had and we felt at home while staying. We would stay here again and will be suggesting it to others from ND looking to experience Colorado.
We had a great experience! Frank is a great host! I hope we get to come back again!
