Family getaway. The log home surely met our expectations. The owner has done a great job in providing comfort and created a welcoming environment with decor and newer furnishings. We loved the open-concept living area, and it kept everyone together, regardless of where they were in the house. The game room was a great add-on feature, and star-gazing in the hot tub was amazing. If you plan on using the kitchen or cooking, it is recommended to bring supplies such as paper towels, dish liquid, sponge, coffee filters, and like necessities (TP). Due to the nature of renters, checking cleanliness of pots, pans, plates, silverware, glasses before use is a good idea (several required cleaning before use). These we in no way show stoppers and we look forward to a future return.
Very inviting cabin. The hot tub was ready to go when we got there. Plenty of space for the 6 of us. We played pool and had a fire almost every night down stairs. Beautiful area and not too far to the supermarket for food and any items forgotten from home.
Easy check-in and check-out. Very clean and cozy. Loved the remote location. Exactly what we wanted for a truly relaxing vacation that we wouldn’t need a vacation from.
Love this place! Our special needs son asked us to take him to a mountain cabin for his birthday and this place was perfect. Great location and amenities we absolutely loved it. The just was responsive to our pre trip communications and provided all necessary information.
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.
Our family had a wonderful stay this October. The property was clean, and our host was terrific and quick to communicate. We loved having the opportunity to grill, stargaze in the evening, and sit around the fire pit. Thank you for a fantastic experience!
Cabin was in great condition. Lots of space. Beds were really comfy. Don't forget to bring TP, hand soap and dish soap with you. And don't miss the Luray Caverns!
The property was just as described! Comfy and roomy, a great place for our family get away. The bedrooms with a queen bed in each were perfect for the five couples in our group. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed for cooking meals. We really enjoyed the campfire area too and spent a couple evenings there. Overall a great place!!
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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!
Beautiful surroundings, nice rooms, hot tub and games a plus. However it lacked basic amenities such as dishwasher detergent, kitchen soap, bathroom soap, at least 1 extra trash bag. There were not enough towels for all of us. The dishwasher did not work.
Our family of 9 gathered here for a bday getaway. It was a good location with pretty views. The main road runs along the river and is very scenic. The cabin was very roomy with plenty of space to spread out. The bedrooms were ample size, too. Our favorite space was the common area upstairs as the kitchen was spacious and open to the living area which made hanging out easy.
We visited Elkton while here and would recommend that as a place to go for future guests. Cute town with shops, brewery, and restaurants.
I echo some of the other past guests, there is some maintenance that needs to be done in and out of the home but the owner has been messaged about it and states she's on it.
The cabin in person is so much nicer than the pictures show online. We spent the week with our adult children and spouses cooking, playing games, hanging out watching football, hiking through the woods and even visited a ski resort about 30 minutes away for a day of skiing and snowboarding . The beds were as comfortable as what we would get for ourselves for our own homes. The kitchen was fully stocked and we needed nothing else for cooking which we did every day. The check in process was simple and the cabin was very clean when we arrived. We had plenty of room to enjoy each others company or go sneak away for a quick nap. Ghada was an absolute joy to work with through the entire rental process and during the stay as well if anything was needed. Really could not have asked for a better week and a nicer place to hang out with our family!! I would highly recommend this place as it looks like it has a ton to offer year round.
