The little cabin in the woods was a perfect and restful get away. Quiet, comfortable, beautiful and well maintained. The host has thought of everything to make our time away from home easy and restful. Plus, Bear Paw is one of our favorite places. The lake and mountains are breathtaking. And playing pickleball was so much fun.
