The cottage was delightful, very clean except for outside but then it is in the woods . Stocked with small necessities which was very much appreciated. The only negative thing was the road in which was severely rutted and with lots of potholes and rocks. Couldn’t go over much more than 5 miles an hour. Host was very responsive and provided detailed rules and instructions and offered places to go and places to eat. Host is top notch!

To say I was happy would be a understatement. Extremely clean, Stock with many extras. Plenty of firewood for fire pit, plenty of charcoal for grill. kitchen well stocked. Items we forgot were there to our surprise. The road coming in may be a little rocky, but it will not disappoint if you choose to stay there. The host Steve responded to all my questions quickly. 5 Stars across the board.

The Bear Den Cottage was exceptional! Our family did a mini vacation to visit the Big Boy 4014 Steam Train for the 250th Anniversary of America. We were looking for a quiet, cozy place to stay during our visit to Scranton Pa and found the Bear Den Cottage.Steve the owner was exceptional to work with, his communication back and forth with us was top notch! The cottage had everything we needed but most importantly was clean, cozy and felt like home away from home.We were sad that we could not have stayed longer but were very blessed to have the time that we did there. Thank you for everything and for making our trip extra special with such a beautiful place to stay.We highly recommend staying at the Bear Den Cottage if you are ever in the area, you will not regret it!The Wilson Family

To be honest, the unpaved road where the cottage was located was very rutted so you have to drive very slowly. Fortunately, the road is only about a half mile long. The cottage itself was cute and nicely decorated with comfortable seating and a large screen T.V. in the living room. The cottage was very clean and sheets and 2 bath towels per guest were provided. The kitchen was adequate although missing a toaster oven, and I suggested to the host that he purchase one for the cottage. The neighborhood was very quiet and woodsy. We enjoyed an afternoon just sitting on the front lawn in the sun reading our books. The host is very accessible and responded immediately to questions I had. We enjoyed our time in nearby Hawley sitting on the beach at Lake Wallenpaupuck, eating out for lunch and dinner and visiting several antique & thrift shops in Hawley and Honesdale.

About the host

Hosted by Steve

Host profile image
Hello I am Steven and I would like to welcome you to my happy place. Bear Den Cottage was created to share with guests the wonders of this great area and the peace that it has brought us. Our goal is for you to reconnect with the outdoors and breath in the spirit of the lake region.

Why they chose this property

I started enjoying the outdoors through tent camping and overlanding. Over the years I upsized to a camper and was introduced to the Lake Wallenpaupack area by wonderful friends who are now our extended lake family.

What makes this property unique

It is my pleasure to offer this cottage to you and to share the experience of the property which offers the best of the outdoors and convenience of downtown.
