Just right

We were looking for a place to meet in the middle for the Holidays. The cabin was exactly as listed. Clean, spacious and enough room for everyone to enjoy. Kitchen was larger than expected and fully stocked. We made 2 large meals and had enough plates and pots & pans. The lower level was a tad chilly as we ran out of wood for the stove but got a bundle at a local store. Beds were super comfortable. Bring some toilet paper though. Would definitely rebook.

Bears Den

Overall a good stay for thanksgiving with the family. spacious and clean, definitely a "cabin in the woods" as the trees must really block any mountain views in the summer. The river is about a 1/2mile down the hill and we noticed that most of the riverfront was posted property. Needs an electric skillet, fixed foosball table.

Mountain R&R

The house lived up to the billing. It was comfortable and extremely well kept. The kitchen was fully equipped and ready for culinary creativity. The seclusion yet accessibility to regional attractions makes it a great choice. The owner was very accommodating and accessible. Overall a great choice and one worth repeating.

20th Anniversary

Google tried to send us to a different house, but luckily we arrived with enough light to see the correct house! Make sure you follow the ones given to you when you book! The pictures should probably be updated on the listing, but even still, we were not disappointed. In fact, we were pleasantly surprised by the size of the master bedroom and bathroom! Hubby and I loved spending our 20th anniversary here and would love to come back with the family!

Peaceful Getaway

Bears Den was just what my friends and I were looking for in a peaceful getaway. The house was comfortable and provided all the amenities. We also liked being close to some good hiking trails; we hiked to Strickler Knob one day (highly recommended!). We really enjoyed our time at the cabin.

Beautiful trip to Shenandoah National Park with great friends!

The cabin was absolutely beautiful, clean and full of activities! My friends and I came here from NY the weekend to disconnect and do some hiking in the park. The owner of the property was very quick to respond with questions and suggestions for our stay. I can definitely say if I ever come back to do some more hiking, I will make sure the cabin is available again before I pick dates! 10/10

Relaxing time in the mountains

We enjoyed our stay at Bears Den Cabin. It was very comfortable and well furnished-- so nice not to have to bring much along with us. We are an outdoorsy family so enjoyed the proximity to hiking, waterfalls, mountain swimming holes and the river for kayaking/tubing. We also enjoyed being a short drive to Harrisonburg (JMU), New Market, Luray Caverns, and Monticello (Charlottesville). We enjoyed dinners out in local restaurants and ice cream/mini-golf/go-karting afterwards before heading home to the cabin to rest/recharge for another day.

The house was neat and clean. There was plenty of room for everyone to move around and feel comfortable. The bedrooms were very nice. The only issue was the dirt road leading to the house. It’s not for the faint of heart. LOL Our visit was enjoyable. Thank you to our host and cleaning staff.

Mountain getaway

This large cabin is located in a nice mountain location well in the woods. Views from the back were really beautiful. Great game room and hot tub. The kitchen is large and we’ll equipped. Owner was very quick to respond when a bad storm resulted in a power outage and the next day when the dish based internet stopped working. Fairly close drive to Luray and SNP entrances.
