"This is our second visit the the Bear Valley cabin by the lake. We will be back.The cabin may be the only rental available that has walk down access to the lake, which is one of the main reasons we rented the firt time and a reason we came back.Communication with Molly, the host, is genuinely one of the easiest VRBO communications I've ever had and I appreciate her thoughtfulness, quick answers, willingness to hear suggestions about what the cabin might need, etc. Renting a cabin/VRBO with hosts like Molly make travel life much easier.We will be back."

Cozy Retreat w/ Deck ~ 2 Mi to Pinecrest Lake!

8/10 Good
"We enjoyed our stay at the cabin and found everything very clean. The location is great and we were able to walk right down to the river and fish. However this is an older home and it seemed a little overpriced for the condition of the living room and deck. The sofas were not very comfortable and the deck needs some sprucing up. The beds were very comfortable and the kitchen was very well equipped. We were there on a very hot week in August and without a/c, the fans did not do an adequate job of cooling. The screen door to the patio was missing so we had no thru ventilation, and there are no shades on the back windows to keep out the sun."
