We enjoyed the cozy cabin with all the bearphanalia. The only problem we had was with the lockbox, it took forever to get in That was scary as we did not know how to get in touch with the owner. The river behind the cabin was so beautiful, would have been great to play in if the weather was warm

We couldn’t 'bear' to leave

We had a lovely time at this unbearably cute, animal-themed cabin, enjoying the view from the dining table, the coziness of the living room and the easy walk down a private path to the river below. The laundry machine and dryer were a great bonus.

Mountain Cabin

The check in was easy, and everything was as described. The location was perfect exactly what would be expected of a mountain cabin. The cabin was cozy, and perfect for my daughter and I. When we stayed it was col and used the fireplace indoors. The property appears to have plenty of amenities that could be enjoyed in any season, outdoor fire ring, deck,grill, and river access. We plan to come back an and stay and enjoy other seasons here.

Fall Getaway

We've spent a long, lazy weekend at Bear Paw almost every fall for the past 10 years or so. The cabin is quite rustic, but oh-so cozy and charming. We love sitting by the fireplace, dining in the little enclosed porch area- quite literally in the woods- and being lulled by the sound of the river out back. The surrounding area is beautiful for hiking and enjoying the beauty of God's creation. This little place is truly magical. Thank you, Taylors, for sharing it with us!

Great little cabin

The cabin was perfect for our annual trout fishing weekend. The only thing I can possibly note as a downside was the ceiling height and small bunks upstairs as I am very tall; Would be perfect for kids.

Very rustic cozy cabin in a beautiful location near a river. The kids enjoyed playing and fishing in the nearby river. The fireplace was great to relax by and the dining area had great views of the forest. Would stay again.
