-Please note: YOU CANNOT SEE THE RIVER FROM THE HOUSE. Due to the flood plain in the area, all houses along this side of the river are built back from the river's edge. There is a large yard in between the house and the river and you cannot see the water from where the house is. We leave the canoes down by the river's edge so that you don't have to carry them back and forth.



Some other things to note about Bear Bluff:



- The base rate includes 4 guests. Each additional guest is $30 per night. Please read the itemized charges carefully!



- Please note: The optional firewood charge of $10/night is for firewood. If you don't think you will use the firewood or would like to bring your own, please let us know! We are more than happy to refund that to you.



- Check-in is 3:00 PM and check-out is at 11:00 am. Early check-in or late check-out may be available, ask us!



- Dogs are welcome! There is a limit of 2, with a pet fee of $65 per dog. Unfortunately, we can't accept cats. Sorry about that!



-There is no trash service in this area. We ask that you please take your trash with you- there is information in the cabin on where to go to take it so that you don't have to take it all the way home with you! Alternatively, housekeeping can remove it for you for a tip of $5 per bag.

This house is old and needs repair. Ie the hot tub was not functional. A few things broken and lots of bugs! However, those were discussed with property manager and they made it right. They were quick to reply and communicate with us. If you can get past the fact that it is an older cabin, the stay was otherwise good. It is in a neighborhood on gravel road but very private and quiet and serene, which was nice. They accept pets and our dog loved the huge yard and the river front which is a walk, but not that far, from the house. The house is quirky and has cute touches to it such as art work and some cabin decorations (ie bear themed outlet covers). We enjoyed the outdoor fire pit (did not use the one by the river or the provided kayaks). The basement with game room was nice and would be great for families. Lots of games as well. The bunk bed downstairs is a tad small for an adult but would be great for kids. The kitchen was well stocked (bring your own matches or fire starter if you want to use fire pit or indoor fireplace.) and we were able to cook meals comfortably. There’s no ice machine or water from the fridge but the water from the sink tasted just fine! The back screened porch is nice but will be nicer when they fix one of the screens. They provided a lot of towels and per products and linens which is always helpful. It seems there are someHiking trails around but we ventured to skyline drive and some other places that were only 20-30 minutes away.

My husband and I wanted a secluded cabin in the woods for a weekend birthday getaway. We chose this place based on the reviews and the pictures. So, I feel the need to write this review. The deck and front screen door are in need of repair. The door hangs open and I'm guessing that's why there are so many stinks bugs, dead and alive, in the home. The hot tub did not work, it took my husband an hour to get it going. A not so handy person might not have such luck. The beds were so uncomfortable, I did not sleep. Even the couch was worn down and uncomfortable. Lastly, the lawn was very high. It probably wasn't cut for a while. I know these things might have been remedied if I reached out, but these parents wanted privacy for the little time we had away. All in all, we made the best of it. Just happy to be together, but it was the first time I was disappointed in VRBO rental. And we've used these services a lot.
