We thoroughly enjoyed our stay for our friends birthday weekend. We especially enjoyed the upstairs sitting room with Pac-Man and the foosball table. Everything was clean and the kitchen was fully stocked with all of the essentials. The beds were comfy and the surrounding woods were peaceful.

Thank you so much Becky for your wonderful review! We're delighted to hear that Chunky Bear was one of your favorite cabins and that you found it clean, beautiful, and well cared for. Your story about your one-year-old and three-year-old granddaughters absolutely made our day! We love that they enjoyed hugging the bear and that it brought so many smiles. Those are exactly the kinds of memories we hope families create during their stay. It was a pleasure hosting your family, and we hope to welcome you back to Chunky Bear for another memorable getaway in the future!

House was a perfect ski cozy vibe. Was the perfect getaway rental. The hot tub was definitely a crowd favorite. The driveway was a bit icy so definitely make sure your car is able to handle that but other than that it was wonderful. Host was very responsive.

Cozy and welcoming home on a beautiful, private property. The game room was a big hit with the kids and there was plenty of space for gathering and relaxing together. The host was very responsive, and kind.A heads up for winter stays—4-wheel drive is necessity. We had about 5 inches of snow while there, which is no problem for the right vehicles. We really enjoyed our stay! Thank you!

We had a terrific visit to the chunky bear! The cabin was true to the listing and the beds were very comfortable. The kids loved the bunk bed room. The host was responsive to messages. Fully equipped kitchen made it easy to cook there. We enjoyed the hot tub and the fire pit. We'd for sure stay there again!

4/10 Poor

Liked: Check-in, communication, location
Upon arrival property was unkept. Weeds growing through the patio high enough to be uncomfortable to even enter the hot tub and walk across to the fire pit. Cameras were pointing directly on the fire Pit where family privacy would have been nice. It was actually creepy. Within the first day, we found out the heat was not working. The fireplace upstairs was also out of commission. So for 3 days in a row, we had to have workers coming in and out to fix things which was completely invading our privacy. Kountry did act fast on the repairs but it took 3 of our 5 days of privacy to do so as we were trying to celebrate our anniversary. She did order space heaters which were supposed to be delivered the same night. But did not get there until the following day. There was some garbage around the property. There were broken solar lights and a window screen and sign just laying on the ground sloppily. There is a really nice hammock that is advertised in the ad, which turned out to have holes in it, And be completely rotted. The cleanliness of the cabin inside could have been better as there was lots of dust. The upstairs tv which is the nicest place to have a romantic evening &relax, would not work the entire time we were there. We had to watch a movie on the couch downstairs,Which, if you sit down too fast, youfeel like you're falling through. The host did offer,If we left the second day to refund the rest of our stay but not an option for us.no partial refund offered for our troubles

4th of July stay

Inside of property is immaculate and well kept. Very well stocked with anything we needed. Very close to marina for boat and close to restaurants and anything we needed. The private drive is a little rough but overall the property was great.

This was our first trip to Deep Creek Lake and we could not have found a better home for our family of four! This house is exactly how it was described and very, very clean. Loved the location! We were only a short drive to boat rentals, Wisp resort, restaurants, groceries and more. The kids loved the hot tub and fire pit for smores. Definitely recommend - 10 out of 10!
