Great stay!

Clean and comfortable. A nice quiet place to take the dogs and get away from fireworks for the 4th. Just what we were looking for.

Our stay at Papa Bear Cabin was awesome. We had 8 people of which there was twin 9 year old's, a boy and girl, and they loved it. The Cabin was clean and had everything we needed...and things that we didn't even know we needed. You know the little things you always forget? Being that is was Thanksgiving we prepared the works and enjoyed every minute. Being that some of our party arrived before we did, Nathan, our host, was easily contacted to let them in the cabin. Thanks the Foxes.
