Exceeded our expectations! Super clean space! The hot tub indoors was unique but a fun experience. Nice touches and had all the things we needed. Fully stocked kitchen. Little things like lightswitch labels, comfy mattresses, arcade games, tvs in all rooms, plenty of bath and pool towels, bowls for the pets, really set this property apart from others. Location is perfect, especially if enjoying the resort or waterpark. Would stay again!

It was perfect!! We couldn’t have asked for a nicer place. Location was perfect also. Great host. Answered all our questions. We have been to 4 different VRBO this year. Even though the others were great this one is perfect. We are already trying to figure if we can come back in February and May.

My bear cabin stay was lovely. The host was quick to respond to any questions. She sent instructions on how to get there. There was no issues getting into the house. The house was nice and clean. It was close to Massanutten’s waterpark and snow-tubing. My family and I even doordashed pizza and groceries from the food lion no issues with driver finding the house. Plenty of games for the kids. The beds and pillows were comfy. It was really a great stay 10/10. I would definitely stay there again. The house /cabin felt like home away from home.

Great family rental

We had a lovely time at the Bear cottage. Our kids LOVED the game room and it was so helpful to have that in our downtime. We also loved the hottub every night after being on the slopes. Would definitely stay here again and recommend!

Amazing location…Beautiful Home!

Took a quick weekend trip to Massanutten to kick off my birthday festivities and Bear Cabin couldn’t have been more perfect. 2 mins with 3 boys aged 6 and 9 and there was more than enough space, the games and amenities and decor were perfect to keep us busy when not at the indoor waterpark or snow tubing. Would highly recommend and would definitely stay again!
