Beautiful cabin and location

Beautiful and well appointed cabin. It was in a beautiful setting on the river and we saw wildlife daily. The screened in back porch is so nice in the early morning and evenings. We enjoyed our stay very much and highly recommend.

Awesome cabin with spectacular views!

My family and I throughtly enjoyed this cabin and want to return soon( maybe this summer). We fished and caught a small trout and swim in the water. Kids played the whole time( wasnt even interested in tablets) and crashed when bedtime.

Great cabin. Secluded and quiet.

If you are looking for a relaxing location, this is the place. Cabin was fully stocked with everything you might need. Our location along the river front was perfect for wading and playing in the water as well as fishing.

Slice of Heaven

An incredibly serene and beautiful place. We spent more time on the screened-in back porch than we did inside. It was so peaceful. We can only hope to make this an annual trip.

Great river stay!

We had a great time at the cabin and wish we could have stayed longer! We visited Blanchard Springs Cavern and did some fishing. We loved the fire pit and roasting s’mores. We will be back!

Weekend getaway

We all absolutely loved the cabin and the view that came with it! We were able to roast marshmallows and had fun playing the board games! This will be one of our go to's for future use!

Togetherness

A friends get together was a lot of fun at the Bear cabin. It is secluded clean fire pit. Lots of trees and privacy the only thing was we could not get the fire place to work but it didn’t matter. We will definitely be back and the water is a walk down a hill and the guys caught lots of fish. I just can not say enough good things about the place. BRING FIREWOOD WITH YOU.

2nd time

Our stay was great the first time. That we came back again. But we had some disappointments the mattresses need to be changed. They all roll to the middle. The first day they needed to cut grass. The second day they were fixing the stairs out front banging and sawing. Then some random gentleman came over and we going through the garage. We didn’t feel like we had the place to ourselves there was always something they had to get done. To find out they had some special people coming in after us that they were preparing for. It did t matter to ruin our privacy. So we were really disappointed.

Perfect Family Vacation

The cabin was perfect for our family vacation with the river and fire pit out back our kids spent all day outside play, fishing, swimming and making s’mores. While it was a 20-30min drive to town it was the perfect location to get away and be disconnected from work and social media. The cabin had all the basics making our stay convenient and easy. Highly recommend!!

The absolute best cabin and view

Our family has stayed in cabins in La., Ms, Al, Tn, Ga, and NC. This is the absolute best cabin of them all. I've never had a cabin stocked as well as this one. The view is breath taking. We spent most of our time on the screened in back porch and at the fire pit. (You can get firewood at walmart.) Thank you for letting us stay in your hidden gem of a cabin!

Great family getaway

Our family of five enjoyed a quick getaway to this wonderful cabin. The entire property was beautiful and exactly as portrayed in the pictures. The check in process was very easy, the cabin was well stocked, very clean, and nicely decorated. We enjoyed fishing just in back of the cabin, saw wildlife, and also enjoyed some time checking out the shops in Mt. View. We have already recommended this property to several friends and family who saw our pictures. We would definitely enjoy coming back again!

Family time

Everything about process was good. Our only complaint was the fireplace didnt work, and cold evenings would have been nice to sit by fire before bed.

Beautiful Bluff

The location was beautiful. We had a wonderful time. Communication was not the best. The place was beautiful but wasn't as well stocked as what we were used to. We couldn't find any dish rags and there was no coffee. I know some places stock more than others but no coffee really suprised me!

Peaceful Relaxing Hideaway

Great communication with property owner! Great directions, I can’t say enough good things. We can’t wait to go back, a weekend just wasn’t long enough. The cabin is cozy. The views are amazing. My husband, 13 yr old stepson, and I did not want to leave. Take some groceries, and you won’t even need to go to town. The kitchen has everything you’ll need to cook. You won’t regret staying here. :)

Pictures don’t do it justice, it was great!

Cabin was really fun! the bluff on the other side of the river is absolutely spectacular, the cabin is really nice and super clean. The owner was very responsive and super nice. We had a really great time and definitely will be coming back to this location for sure but we will be bringing our boat next time as the Public boat ramp is only about six minutes from the house up river. The walk to the River is not very far and was easy enough for all of us but an older person or somebody with bad knees would probably struggle with the hill. River was really up when we were there but we still caught fish!

Great quick trip

Overall a wonderful property. Beautiful views and a great escape from it all. Nestled outside of Mountain View proper it allowed easy access to nearby attractions. The location on the river along with the firepit made for a scenic view. Be prepared for a rocky road arriving ( it was well worth it). The property could use some minor tlc. Slow moving drains in the tub, dead bugs in the light fixtures (not too surprising for how rural the location) and the lofted bed is a bit tilted towards the middle. All of these are minor complaints and did not take away from how fantastic the property was overall!
