The Bear Den is well equipped with wifi and TVs to watch and relax after busy days of fishing, hiking, mining, or whatever else you plan for. The pool is within walking distance and viewable from the dining area. The Bear Den is like your home away from home with a kitchen well equipped for any cooking, and laundry in the unit. 5 stars for sure. ##### Lucas Stayed 4 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Clara 17 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication It was absolutely comfortable. The Condo comes with everything that you might need for a stay in the mountains. ##### Clara Stayed 3 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Dawn 25 Mar 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication The unit was really nice and the kitchen was the best stocked of any we've ever stayed in. When traveling as a family of 7 we tend to make a lot of our meals in. The roughest part is the driveway to the condo. Be prepared to arrive in daylight the first time as there are lots of turns in the road and the final decent into the parking spot is really steep. The views and hiking trails more than make up for that! ##### Dawn Stayed 4 nights in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Katherine Ann 8 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication #### May 2025 From the moment we arrived to the time we left, our stay at the Bear Den was outstanding. Entry instructions were sent early on check-in day, making our arrival smooth and easy. The cabin exceeded our expectations—fully stocked with everything from blenders and Instant Pots to all the cookware you could need, whether you're cooking inside or grilling out. They even had child-friendly utensils for little ones. The bedding was cozy and clearly labeled, which was especially helpful for using the hide-a-beds. We appreciated the thoughtful touches throughout the home—robes in the master bedroom, plus a stash of essentials like razors, feminine products, toothbrushes, and toiletries in case anything was forgotten. Outdoors, deer food was provided along with a full set of activities—tennis rackets, basketballs, bug spray, and breathtaking scenery. A fun little bonus: a “bear hunt” around the condo to spot all the bear-themed decor (there are more than you’d expect!), which added a playful touch. The hosts were incredibly responsive. They even came out to replace low batteries in the door lock after we had a brief issue. Overall, this property is fantastic. Our entire family loved it. Just a heads-up—try to arrive during daylight hours, as the driveway turn-in is a bit steep. But trust us, it’s totally worth it. ##### Katherine Ann Stayed 4 nights in May 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Chase 2 May 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication ##### Chase Stayed 2 nights in Apr 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jason Michael 13 Apr 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, room comfort, communication ##### Jason Michael Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hogsveil Cottages - Harry Potter Themed](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Eureka-Springs-Hotels-Hogsveil-Cottages.h17048316.Hotel-Information) > > [Travelodge by Wyndham Winchester](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Winchester-Hotels-Travelodge-By-Wyndham-Winchester.h9600.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Regency Santa Clara](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Santa-Clara-Hotels-Hyatt-Regency-Santa-Clara.h4313.Hotel-Information) > > [Wuksachi Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sequoia-National-Park-Hotels-Wuksachi-Lodge.h893730.Hotel-Information) > > [Cartoon Network Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lancaster-Hotels-Cartoon-Network-Hotel.h50407269.Hotel-Information) > > [Bayshore Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Traverse-City-Hotels-Bayshore-Resort.h34264.Hotel-Information) > > [Fairmont Orchid](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kamuela-Hotels-Fairmont-Orchid.h25190.Hotel-Information) > > [Aspen Select](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rochester-Hotels-Aspen-Select.h12245240.Hotel-Information) > > [Maui Coast Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kihei-Hotels-Maui-Coast-Hotel.h28645.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Express & Suites Price by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Price-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Price.h9253345.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Myrtle Beach - N Kings Hwy](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Myrtle-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Myrtle-Beach-N-Kings-Hwy.h6849.Hotel-Information) > > [Sea Crest Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/North-Falmouth-Hotels-Sea-Crest-Beach-Hotel.h25567.Hotel-Information) > > [The View Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Kayenta-Hotels-The-View-Hotel.h59418009.Hotel-Information) > > [Isla Bella Beach Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Marathon-Hotels-Isla-Bella-Beach-Resort-Spa.h24101706.Hotel-Information) > > [Anvil Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Jackson-Hole-Hotels-Anvil-Hotel.h894210.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite View Lodge](https://www.expedia.co.uk/El-Portal-Hotels-Yosemite-View-Lodge.h576660.Hotel-Information) > > [La Quinta Inn & Suites by Wyndham Cocoa Beach Oceanfront](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Cocoa-Beach-Hotels-La-Quinta-Inn-Suites-By-Wyndham-Cocoa-Beach-Oceanfront.h894002.Hotel-Information) > > [Hyatt Place Titusville / Kennedy Space Center](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Titusville-Hotels-Hyatt-Place-Titusville-Space-Center.h44354265.Hotel-Information) > > [Holiday Inn Key Largo by IHG](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Key-Largo-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Key-Largo.h7230.Hotel-Information) > > [Baymont by Wyndham Mishawaka South Bend Area](https://www.expedia.co.uk/South-Bend-Hotels-Baymont-By-Wyndham-Mishawaka-South-Bend-Area.h1976.Hotel-Information) > > [Solterra Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Orlando-Hotels-Solterra-Resort.h18526478.Hotel-Information) > > [Comfort Inn & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Defiance-Hotels-Comfort-Inn-Suites.h200743.Hotel-Information) > > [Bar N Ranch](https://www.expedia.co.uk/West-Yellowstone-Hotels-Bar-N-Ranch.h11548135.Hotel-Information) > > [Timber Ridge Lodge and Waterpark](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Lake-Geneva-Hotels-Timber-Ridge-Lodge-And-Waterpark.h1043867.Hotel-Information) > > [Yosemite Southgate Hotel & Suites](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Oakhurst-Hotels-Yosemite-Southgate-Hotel-Suites.h3650.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Seville](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Harrison-Hotels-Hotel-Seville.h2270672.Hotel-Information) > > [Gurney's Montauk Resort & Seawater Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Montauk-Hotels-Gurneys-Montauk-Resort-Seawater-Spa.h7033726.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Marguerite Anaheim/Garden Grove, Trademark Collection by Wyndham](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Garden-Grove-Hotels-Holiday-Inn-Express-Suites-Garden-Grove-Anaheim-South.h917954.Hotel-Information) > > [Riviera Resort Palm Springs](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Palm-Springs-Hotels-Margaritaville-Resort-Palm-Springs.h26011.Hotel-Information) > > [Balmoral Resort Florida](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Haines-City-Hotels-Balmoral-Resort-Florida.h19447044.Hotel-Information)
