"The cabin is in a great location right by the resort. It does need some attention though as the rooms are freezing and there were no space heaters. The big heater only heats the hallway and kitchen so bring something to keep warm at night in the bedrooms. The shower barely works, most of the water fills the tub and doesn’t come out of the shower head. Also there is very limited hot water so if you have more than 2 people staying here showering can be time consuming while you wait for the heater...

"We had a great time at Bear Paw Cabin. It had every feature a person could ever want. It was clean, beautifully situated, and comfortable, in a quiet neighborhood. Every safety feature was available from fire extinguishers to carbon monoxide sensors. The outdoor jacuzzi was wonderful. The gas BBQ grill was easy to use. The living room was a comfortable place to wind down with a roaring fireplace and smart TV that you can log into your own streaming services. We had a small issue signing...

"Everything about our stay was wonderful! We loved the location of the cabin, and it was the perfect size for our family. The board games were such a thoughtful touch and made the cabin feel even cozier. It had everything we needed for a comfortable stay. The host was communicative and easy to reach throughout our trip.
