Bear's Den Cottage

loved staying here , it was QUIET!! We walked around the lake and had a very wonderful time. You can grill in a wood cooker out door recomend bringing your own Hickory chunks for that. Food taste Awesome smoked.

The previous review by the guest was apparently offended by Christian literature that was offered to our guests along with a Holy Bible which, even as she stated, didn't offend her. Her accusations that I had made comments regarding two of them who were holding hands or their "drunkenness" is ridiculous as we usually only check in with our guests once a day to see if they need anything (as we have been doing for 13 years!) and I didn't see anybody who was drunk. I believe the negative review is simply because they were offended that we offer our guests the Christian literature (free) to anyone who would like it. To be so offended by Christian literature when it simply says the same things as the Holy Bible is pretty incredible but to be so offended to make these accusations, is disappointi

$125 charge because our dogs went on the furniture. He said because he had to wash the blankets and pillowcases (Shouldn’t you be doing that between guests anyways??). He leaves 40 pages of instructions, and nowhere does it say anything about the dogs not being allowed on furniture. We were planning on returning this summer, but now we will find somewhere better. The only DVDs are religious ones, so bring your own. Also some religious literature available if you’d like to be converted on your stay lol. No wifi even those he advertises that he has internet.

We just enjoyed 4 days at this gem of a place where we had the most wonderful, restful, relaxing vacation. Owner Brian was a most gracious and helpful host, promptly resonding to questions and boat supply requests, and stopping by to check on things to ensure everything was going well and to ask if we needed anything. The cottage was not an older, rustic place i had expected, but an immaculate, beautiful, all-pine spacious cabin will all the amenities and supplies you could want for cooking, an abundance of towels, quaint, bear-themed decor; a deck perfectly positioned to always have some shade, a fantastic jacuzzi, a large yard perfect for keeping our large shepherd occuppied with chasing tennis balls, a nice beach area, and an amazing view of the lake and incredible trees/vegetation.
