This little updated cabin felt like home. Very peacefully tucked up along private driveway on a beautiful property. Very quiet and absolutely beautiful with a dusting of snow. Located about 15 minutes from town. It was the perfect distance away for us to drive in for dinner and adventures. Highly recommend staying here! ##### Landis S.

The home is welcoming, roomy and fresh. Where your thing is conversation in the living room or boardgames at the dining table, the space offered plenty of room to gather and have fun. We were able to easily park two full-size pickup trucks on site, both with sled decks that take up extra space. The hosts were helpful in answering questions from the beginning and promptly returned a call during our stay--super helpful folks. ##### Janice C.

Scott and Jessica are fantastic hosts who have put a lot of thought into making their space welcoming and comfortable. The property was impeccably clean and well-maintained, offering all the amenities we could possibly need. We appreciated the thoughtful touches like the fresh cut flowers and eco-friendly soaps, shampoo, and lotion. The cozy wood stove was perfect for the colder or rainy evenings. We especially enjoyed the beautiful outdoor green space where we played badminton, relaxed in the sun, and harvested herbs from the garden. The location is great, with close proximity to Nelson, several beaches and Kokanee Creek Provincial Park. Scott and Jessica were excellent communicators, highly accommodating and extremely hospitable - genuinely kind, salt of the earth people. Our stay was truly a home-away-from home experience, we look forward to returning to The Bear Den in the future! Thank you Scott and Jessica for making us feel so welcome in your home. ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9412f9df-ad36-45da-909f-2513fae394a5-1750367621525.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/b9435304-d020-45c4-abc7-7ef49da642db-1750367621994.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/9767a3e7-0405-4d1c-b37d-e96dbc93fcd6-1750367622498.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ![](https://a.travel-assets.com/ugc/hotel-reviews/e4429329-6677-40bf-90b7-538cfe57ddbd-1750367622045.jpg?impolicy=resizecrop&rw=204&ra=fit&q=high) ##### Donna L.
