Cute little cabin right on the lake. We didnt want to leave the cabin. They have fish and fish food and this was a routine with our morning coffee. So much to do at the cabin and property. The owner was nice. The cabin was clean.

Bear Lair Very Nice

The cabin was very clean inside. It sits right beside the lake. It great for fishing or just relaxing. We had friends stay at a nearby cabin and we could walk back and forth easily. There are many beautiful natural sight to see in walking distance.

Great Place with some nice perks

My GF and I stayed here while on a climbing trip for a few nights. we loved the vidbe of the cabin and all the perks to the location. Note the boat is $15 extra per day which we were not aware of. Deffinately reccomond renting the boat for at least a day. The lake was nice and the caves were a great bonus. Thanks Janice!

Beautiful and Relaxing

My boyfriend and I visited for Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely wonderful. We had a relaxing time and really enjoyed hiking in the woods. It’s a beautiful property and the owners take pride in keeping it up. Very clean and has everything that is needed to setup housekeeping for a few days or however long you are there. Definitely would like to visit again, once it gets warmer outside!

Delightful, clean secluded hide away

This is a wonderful little hideaway and just what we were looking for a weekend with our 2 daughter’s (7 and 9 yr). I loved the porch overlooking the water and my husband and girls enjoyed fishing on the dock and on the little motor boat. Wonderful little touches — fish/ turtle food that our girls loved throwing in the water, coffee, tioletries. The cabin was exceptionally clean. Thank you for the perfect spot to escape from our busy city lives! Highly recommend this property!

Relaxing vacation!

My husband and I stayed in this cabin over the Memorial Day weekend and holiday and it was a great, quiet area. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was stocked well with pots, pans and seasonings for cooking. The Blackstone grill was a great amenity, too! Since the cabin is overlooking the lake, the host provided fish food and there is a boat that can be rented for your stay, also. The communcation with the host was great and was available if we had any questions. We were travelling in a Ford F150 and the parking was a bit tight so keep that in mind when choosing this cabin. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience here!

Perfect cabin retreat

Even better than described. The cabin was cute and supplied with everything you would need. Wifi worked great. Blackstone grill was a nice touch. The outdoor space was phenomenal -- decks on two levels and our own private fishing dock! (if anyone can get any of those HUGE fish to bite, tell me how!) We ate breakfast on the deck watching the fish and the turtles in the lake below. Just a beautiful view over the lake. Would love to book the bigger cabins and come back with more family & friends. Booking and check in was easy. 100% recommend.

A unique, amazing, fantastic place

We loved everything about the Bear’s Lair. We’ve stayed at many VRBO and Airbnb places and this might be the cleanest one yet. But the best thing is the place itself, which sits right on a small, beautiful lake. You could literally drop a rock into the lake from the balcony. There’s also a fantastic trail around the lake that leads you to several amazing caves and limestone arches that rival the ones in Red River Gorge. The place has everything you need, including plenty of kitchen equipment and even a wide variety of spices for you to use. The place isn’t large, but it’s laid out very well, and there are a variety of options for sitting by the lake. There’s even a huge picture window in the bedroom that looks out over the lake. It’s an amazing view. Like I said, we’ve stayed at lots of other places, so we have to be pretty impressed to write a review this positive. It’s one of our very favorites ever. Fred was extremely welcoming and helpful, too, so we give this place our highest recommendation.

Wonderful place

We live a very busy life, so we wanted a place to relax and regroup. This place delivered, it is a beautiful, quiet place! The cabin is awesome; it was clean and has everything you need. The view of the lake is so pretty and we enjoyed feeding the fish.
