Great and well appointed cabin, good location for checking out Lincoln Caverns. Helps to know how to operate a wood stove if you're going during the cold time of year (we did and had no issue with it). Would definitely book again.

There were 15 of us, so our family filled up the cabin. Not all the beds were comfortable, but the host was very helpful & accomodating if we needed anything. The kitchen was well supplied. It was a great place to make good memories! Lots of space for activities: soccer in the driveway area, a campfire, group games in the living room area, hiking nearby, etc.

Not a far drive from the Raystown Resort which offers a beautiful lake to walk around at, fish to feed and a very fun water park. It’s a little on the small side but fun! Also several things to do on the lake and a pizza place that is delicious. Some convenience stores not to far from the cabin. Beautiful area with lots of wildlife!

The Drooly Bear Cabin met our needs for a quiet, restful getaway. There's a welcoming charm to the place that makes it feel familiar and inviting from the first moment. The cabin is well appointed with comfortable beds, furnishings, and a well-equipped kitchen. The kids loved the swings outside, and while we were there, we saw deer, owls, and turkeys.

Great cabin for big group getaway

Came here to reunite with some college friends and the cabin had everything we could have needed. The kitchen is well stocked for making meals, the firepit and outdoor swing were great outdoor hangout spots, there were plenty of beds and blankets for everyone, and the host was very communicative.

Great weekend getaway

Our stay at this cabin was truly delightful. The location was perfect, providing a secluded woodland setting while remaining conveniently close to town. We loved the wood burning stove. The kitchen was fully stocked and all appliances were in excellent working condition. Communication with Matt, the owner, was outstanding. We definitely look forward to returning here in the future.

Great unplugging getaway

The cabin is tucked away in a beautiful part of the mountains and is accessible to lots of hikes and trails. The place is spacious and cozy! Make sure you’re comfortable with managing a wood stove as the primary heat in cold temperatures and plan for groceries as it’s a bit of a journey to stores. We had a great time and would definitely stay there again!

Winter Getaway Wonder

Stayed here for a short weekend getaway in winter, absolutely gorgeous place. Off the beaten track, but easy enough to get to some fun places around. House was cozy as you can ask for, wood stove, wood paneling, comfy bed and a couch you can doze off while listening to the fire crackling. Do be aware that you're not in a very good cell-signal area, as we got a bit turned around heading around the nearby park, and some of the "roads" marked on Google Maps are actually snowmobile trails that Google thinks are roads. The manager supplied a lot of great maps which helped a ton. Highly recommend Drooly Bear!

Perfect Retreat!

We had a wonderful stay at the Cabin. It was perfect for my husband, myself and our two teens. There were plenty of fun things to do, and we enjoyed poker night and old school arcade games. The cabin was clean and had everything we needed. Loved the air fryer and the electric skillet. Not having to chop our own wood was a plus. We went fishing nearby at Raystown lake and Trough creek state park We didn’t catch anything (except a few dead fish) but we would love to come back and try again. We would probably hire a boat tour next time to get to know the area. The visitor center at Eaystown was super helpful. Can’t wait to go back!

Drooly Bear is nice

Always beautiful cabin and spacious. In 2020, some minor updates were needed, like a duct taped screen door and stained/burn holes in carpeting. This year unfortunately, same things could use attention as well as the sewage smells. It is a very relaxing scene though and we hope to visit again soon.

Sunmertime Stay

It was a little warm in the cabin ac- portables did not cool the open loft design and did not go to the back bedrooms. It was a bit damp due to humidity and portables not being enough. Great communication with Matt who wanted to discuss the stay with us so he can make changes for future guests. Great location for getting to the lake and a small beach swim area at the lake.

We stayed at Drooly Bear Cabin while visiting my son at Juniata. The cabin had many amenities that suited us. Pet friendly being one of them. The overall place was clean and host had AC units installed with warmer weather over the weekend. Host was great to work with and very accommodating. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Raystown Lake area.
