Great family getaway

From the minute we arrived, we knew we had made the right choice for our family getaway. The outdoor pavilion with its hot tub, fire pit, pizza oven, grill, and outdoor bar was just amazing! The house was perfect for us. The elevator was vital with 3 people in the party who are disabled. Great, great home away from home.

This place was absolutely perfect for our family. We had a bear in the backyard everyday during our stay. The home was better than the listing ~ it was above our expectations. We hope to come back during the fall.

We originally booked Hackberry lodge for a trip for just my husband and I, but unfortunately they had to cancel due to maintenance. So they moved us to this property. All I can say is WOW. Every thing was stunning, but the absolute best were the views. From the 4(!) balconies with high quality rocking chairs, to the view from the fire pit and hot tub, this place was beyond incredible. The pizza oven experience was so fun we even did it twice, and one time a curious bear stopped by to see what we were cooking! (We politely asked him to leave of course) We even had a blast in the upstairs and downstairs arcade, which was such a fun way to end our evenings. We will definitely book again, but this time bring our adult children and their families. My suggestion to anyone booking here in winter to make sure you have a capable 4 WD vehicle as though all of the roads are paved, there were a few steep parts. My suggestion to BearTracts would be to please provide dark washcloths, as I was afraid of ruining them.

Beautiful Place!

This cabin was a much better experience compared to other cabins we had stayed previously in the area. The neighborhood was very nice, and this particular cabin had a lot of privacy and an amazing view. Pool and game room was enjoyed by the kids and adults. Would certainly stay here again!

Great time!!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Our family rents a cabin though the years from Bear Tracts, with no complaints. We have rented Rocky Stream Lodge and Papa Bears Cabin many times. They are both clean, well kept, up to date, comfortable beds, beautiful bathrooms, with lots of amenities. The game rooms are so fun with games for all ages. Relaxing in the hot tub or playing basketball in the swimming pool, enjoying book nook, sitting by the fire and roasting s’mores. We have made so many memories and will continue to do so. The owners of the cabins have thought of everything! Thank you from the Mahoneys for a trip filled with so many family memories. We will definitely be back!

WOW! This place is freakin insane! It’s a huge place and something for absolutely everyone. It has an elevator! Every detail is top notch, the views are incredible and the kids loved the lower level. The Arcade is nothing like I’ve ever seen in a rental, the little ones stay in the bear cave, it has a bear cave and tunnel.. seriously. From the drive down to the cabin, to the light fixtures, it’s beautiful everywhere. You won’t find anything nicer. Absolutely an incredible place. Before you leave, you have to sit out in the Pavillion with your feet propped up in front of the fire pit watching the sun set over the view. It’s cool. Matt and April are quick to answer any questions. A great time!

This cabin is absolutely stunning! There is everything to do there and you really don’t have to leave if you don’t want to. The cabin is big and roomy where we made some amazing memories! The game rooms were an absolute hit as we are all very competitive and hated to lose when we played against each other even as adults! Will definitely be back as we come here yearly!

First time reserving through them after that AIRBNB cancelled our previous cabin and NEVER accommodated into a new one. This place was impeccable, the entire cabin is decorated with beautiful details that makes it so welcoming and warming. LOVE the BEARS THEME decor, all the commodities it has doesn't make you want to leave, it is well entertained for adults and kids.

BEST VACATION HOME FOR DISABLED

This home was incredible! I rented this home because of the accessibility for my daughter. The owner had the handicapped in mind when he built it! It’s perfect for if your not handicapped either. The view, the amenities, the furniture, the decorations, the design, the atmosphere, the Indoor pool, the Jacuzzi, the Pizza oven , the fire pit, and of course the GAME ROOM ! The PINBALL MACHINE had 900 different themes on it! This home is worth EVERY dime. For my family, I can’t you how special it was for us because my daughter 24, could go all over! THE KIDS WILL LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!

Rating Details: The property manager was very helpful. The vacation rental was spotless. I was very happy with the location. I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: Beautiful cabin with beautiful view and lots of rare amenities. Very little seating, however, in the main family room if you're bring a large party. Lots of places to spread out, incuding outdoor kitchen/patio, indoor pool & game room. But if 10 people want to watch a football game or sit & talk, some are left standing. Amenity money could have been better spent on more seating. Overpriced.

Fabulous

This property exceeded my expectations. Private drive, ample parking for large group, great mnt views! Outdoor kitchen area was amazing! Pizza oven was a hit!! Unfortunaely the grill was damaged by the previous guests so a very small replacement grill was brought in for us to use but we didnt use it. The arcade was a hit with everyone including adults. I would suggest adding an electric skillet and griddle to the kitchen and a couch for the living room area. The big chair was comfortable but it would have been nice to have more seating. We also noticed gnat type bugs flying around in the house. Not sure why. All in all, this was for sure 5 stars!! We would DEFINITELY stay here again.
