10/10 Excellent
"Very helpful and friendly staff. Room was very clean. A bit dated but it was clean, very spacious, and had a beautiful and peaceful view from the balcony. Lighting in the parking lot and drive to the room was a bit dark."

10/10 Excellent
"Lovely small house in the mountains, on top of a hill. We came to stargaze (Perseid meteor shower) and once the constellation rotated above the treeline, we were not disappointed.We were looking up in the dark, and it wasn't really 'til checkout that I noticed the great daytime mountain view from the front porch. Wonderful!Nicely-equipped kitchen, modern appliances. There was an air fryer when we came; didn't see that pictured.Starlink Internet was fine. Attended a Zoom club meeting while there: no trouble. Cell service is not great, neither is GPS quality (in a valley on the way): Recommend you print the last leg of your driving map to make sure you have it. WiFi calling let our phones connect once we were at the property.Know that there's a very long gravel drive, and it goes uphill. Consider whether your vehicle will manage it (my 2WD Tacoma did fine. Wouldn't bring a Lowrider or a Ferrari.).Our host was kind, rapidly responsive, right on top of everything. Great stay, fantastic getaway from the city."

"This place is magical. The layout is amazing. It is comfortable and spacious. We were able to relax and just enjoy everyone's company but not be on top of each other. The kitchen is well appointed and we were able to cook and find our way around. The hot tub was very relaxing and the outdoor fireplace was a lot of fun to play family games in front of. We're already thinking about when we can come back next year."

"We enjoyed our stay at Bear’s Lair for our daughter’s wedding! View of lake was spectacular and it was nice to have access to the lake with the dock just down the road. Parking at the dock was helpful. Home was very nicely kept and hot tub was great at end of each day."

"Great older home, worked well for our family gathering! Lots of open space for the kids and the dogs loved it as well. David is an outstanding host that tries to ensure any issues are taken care of promptly. Works well for handicapped travelers as well, my elderly dad enjoyed the place and could get around pretty well despite his struggles with ambulation. Fair pricing, and nice central location to Franklin if you have an event in town. Thanks David!"
