We really liked the location. It was close to town and the activities that we had planned. Nice fenced yard for our pet. Home has a mountain house feel to it. It’s not super updated but comfy. My only complaint was that it was advertised for having a barbecue, but there was no grill. When we are together as a family, grilling is part of what we do so we were disappointed about not having one. overall nice stay!

So Comfy and Cozy

My family and I really enjoyed our weekend at Mama Bear's Cottage. We felt safe, slept comfortably, and enjoyed the cabin's location. The cabin was clean, cozy, and well-stocked. We loved the fact that it was close to restaurants, shopping, and most of all, close to the beautiful lake! Definitely would visit again!
