Great 4 Corners Location

This large studio was perfect for my partner and myself. With a microwave, toaster oven & electric frying pan and tons of kitchen ware it’s easy to do some meals at home if you’d prefer. The furnishings were very eclectic and comfortable. Very clean and well managed. Would definitely stay here again.

Immaculate one room lower level apartment

We stayed in the Bears Den twice, enroute to and from Colorado. It’s very comfortable and well stocked, and out of town a ways, which we appreciate. Michelle is a gracious hostess who takes good care of her property. There are 2 other vacation rentals on the property in separate buildings; this unit is in the lower level of the main house, but has its own patio. A very pleasant place to stay!

Amazing, delightful!

My partner and I stayed for two nights in this marvelous place. We wish we could have stayed much longer. The room is extremely comfortable, furnished in three sections: bedroom, kitchen area with table, and sitting area with two couches and tv. All were well-equipped with everything you might need—from extra blankets to dvds and even seltzer in the fridge. And Michelle was beyond warm and welcoming! Will definitely be back!

Perfect

We visited the Mesa Verde National Park, drove many scenic drives in the area, rode the Durango to Silverton Railway, shopped with the many businesses in the area, and very much enjoyed our stay at Bears Den Studio. It was comfortable, clean, and had anything you might need. The bed is very comfortable. Michelle is very kind and helpful. She suggested scenic drives and was always quick in responding to questions via message. I love her decorum both inside and outside the home. Our stay at Michelle’s Bears Den Studio was a very good decision.

What makes a great property?

It's the owner of course. How they care for the property, how they communicate, the little touches that make a place feel homey. Well the Bears Den hits a home run. A perfect 10 for Michelle. Outstanding communication, a wonderful, quiet, peaceful place, with so many touches to make you feel at home. Amazingly clean and sanitized against Covid. Away from the hustle and bustle, it's a place to relax and explore the area. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you, Michelle.
