"A Gem!"
I rented this twice, At New Year's and in March 2017. I have rented before at Grand Bear and this is by far the nicest unit we have seen. Unlike those booked through the resort, this is stocked with supplies and amenities you would hope for in a luxury unit! More than you can ask for. Owner has extra air beds, luxury towels, kitchen extras, even cozy throws! It feels more like home than a rental. Owner is absolutely wonderful. You won't be disappointed!

“Great place to stay for a beautiful fall weekend”
This cabin is a great place to stay. We all came in for a class reunion in October. The size of the cabin was perfect for all of us .....enough beds and bathrooms. Lori (the owner) was so easy to work

10 / 10Outstanding·Jun 2022
Lori was an excellent hostess. She was very helpful and easy to communicate with. The property was neat and clean. The kitchen was fully supplied. Plenty of nightlights a plus.
10 / 10Outstanding·May 2022
We had a large group- several families and a few kids come together from different areas. The cabin had everything you could possibly need and then some. The owner, Lori, was absolutely amazing. I cannot even express the gratitude we all gave for Lori for providing the perfect space. The long weekend was to spend time with our dear friend who has stage 4 cancer. We want to make as many memories and spend as much time as possible while we still have her.
After arriving home on Memorial day, and relaxing after the long drive, we heard the devastating news that the cabin we stayed at fell victim to a fire that started several cabins away. Due to high winds, it spread quickly. We are all incredibly sad and feel such a deep loss for Lori and the cabin that will forever be in our memories.. Sending so many hugs and prayers to all involved. Lori, you are amazing and I hope you can and will rebuild. 😢🙏❤️
