The Bear Den cabin is simple, cute, and clean. It’s well set up and stocked. The management company is excellent, and super communicative. The location of the property is lovely, and Twin Lakes is fantastic as always. Two things marred an otherwise excellent stay:
— construction, currently mentioned in the listing. The construction site is VERY close to the cabin (20 feet?). When we were there, the work happened primarily in the evenings. This meant there was a small earth mover in use until 7 pm one night and 9 pm another. Cabin is still usable, but we received a discount and I think that’s appropriate. These details should be in the listing but weren’t when I was there.
— When we stayed, the cabin was listed as having “panoramic views”. This is very misleading. No views from inside the cabin, or from the picnic table designated for this cabin (which also, inexplicably, had a small ATV parked near it). I believe they’ve updated the listing, but FYI: views require walking past the other cabins. There are two unsheltered benches with views which I believe are shared between the cabins. Those views are magnificent.
