Beautiful and Peaceful

This is such a beautiful and peaceful place. The views are AMAZING! We enjoyed our stay and relaxing on the patio. We seen lots of turkeys, couple deer, and a few turtles when driving to the cabin. Cabin was clean and spacious.

Private, thoroughly enjoyed our stay

The cabin was exactly as pictured and the view was amazing from either deck. The cabin was very comfortable as was the bed. Cabin was well stocked. Very glad to have a 4WD vehicle. The drive to the cabin was beautiful. Beautiful area with walking trails.

A Romantic Mountain Getaway

We wanted a peaceful, private, beautiful setting to celebrate a romantic weekend and our wedding anniversary. Standing Bear Retreat did not disappoint! Well-appointed, private, with room for our dogs. We loved the decks and spent most of our time there, when we weren't in the hot tub or down at the fire pit. Thanks for sharing your mountain home!

Just amazing

The pictures do not express 100% how beautiful this property truly is. The view of the mountains and the little town in the valley can be seen from every room in the house. The view looks like a painting just breathtaking. Also nicely isolated from neighbors for privacy. Perfect for a big family or just friends. Loved it so much we even extended our stay. Property managers were just a text message away. Perfect getaway for “let’s forget about the phones “ type of vacation.

Amazing property!

We loved the cabin - very well appointed and clean. You can enjoy gorgeous views from one of the many porches or while soaking in the hot tub. That being said, it was a tricky property for a dog because of the staircase… Our dog could go up, but was scared of going down so we had to carry her. Would not recommend this house for anyone with little kids or elderly due to the staircase. Other than that - it was perfect!

Peaceful and Relaxing

We loved our stay and enjoyed all of the unique details of the home. The wood beams, floors, and furniture make it woodsy and welcoming while the stones on the floor of the shower, light fixtures, and the granite countertops make the home feel industrial, solid, and clean. The kitchen had everything we needed to cook an Easter feast. Plenty of beds and blankets, and very comfortable and homey. Check in and check out were easy.
