Exceeded our expectations! Super clean space! The hot tub indoors was unique but a fun experience. Nice touches and had all the things we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. Little things like lightswitch labels, comfy mattresses, arcade games, tvs in all rooms, plenty of bath and pool towels, bowls for the pets, really set this property apart from others. Location is perfect, especially if enjoying the resort or waterpark. Would stay again!

The home has a great layout. The games were great for our younger kids during our downtime. Right on Massanutten property so very convenient to all the resort attractions. One thing to note, the hot tub is accessed via the master bedroom. There is another entrance through the game room area, but the walk is still open to the master bedroom. This does also cause a little bit of a chlorine smell in the master bedroom but it is not too bad. If you are hyper sensitive to smells though, it is something to be aware of. Sadly the hot tub stopped working during our stay but, the host was very responsive and did what they could to try and address the issue before we left. They gave us a fair unsolicited refund as a gesture for the amenity not working. They definitely want to keep their guest happy. Wouldn’t hesitate to stay again.

My bear cabin stay was lovely. The host was quick to respond to any questions. She sent instructions on how to get there. There was no issues getting into the house. The house was nice and clean. It was close to Massanutten’s waterpark and snow-tubing. My family and I even doordashed pizza and groceries from the food lion no issues with driver finding the house. Plenty of games for the kids. The beds and pillows were comfy. It was really a great stay 10/10. I would definitely stay there again. The house /cabin felt like home away from home.

Perfect Family Getaway

This house was perfect for a low key relaxing family getaway - something for everyone. All the games and activities were in working order and kept kids entertained for hours. We did some hiking in the area, but honestly the kids would have been happy to have never left the house!Everything was clean and as described. We were a little surprised that the shower side of the owners suite bathroom had no door separating It from the sleeping area. Not a deal breaker, but good to know. Toilet side had a door. We absolutely recommend staying at Bear Cabin!

Took a quick weekend trip to Massanutten to kick off my birthday festivities and Bear Cabin couldn’t have been more perfect. 2 mins with 3 boys aged 6 and 9 and there was more than enough space, the games and amenities and decor were perfect to keep us busy when not at the indoor waterpark or snow tubing. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
