Loved our stay!

We loved everything about this cabin. It was in the perfect location and was close to everything we wanted to do. We loved the cabin itself, from the inside to the outside, and our girls loved it as well. Our favorite part was seeing a bear our very first night right below the cabin! We will definitely be booking this cabin again in the future.

We enjoyed our stay at Bear in Mind! The cabin is beautifully decorated and furnished, and Richele the host was great to work with. From a fully stocked kitchen; game room, complete with a pool table and arcade games; to a fire pit and hot tub, and beautiful mountain views from the deck and swing, this cabin has it all!
