This was a little piece of heaven in the woods but close to the lake. Mornings drinking coffee on the deck watching the deer , squirrels, and birds with no city noise. Evenings on the deck playing games with the family. House was perfect for both of our families (8) total. Everything we needed inside the cabin. 10/10 . Host was so gracious and helpful.

We couldn’t have asked for better guests! They were absolutely wonderful from start to finish—kind, respectful, thoughtful, and they left the cabin incredibly clean. Hosting them was truly a pleasure, and by the end of their stay it felt like we’d made new friends. We’d welcome them back to The Bears’ Den anytime and sincerely hope to see them again. Highly recommend them to any host!

Hi, I’m Melissa! Creating memorable experiences for others is something I truly love. Whether I’m planning family getaways, hosting gatherings, or simply bringing people together, I enjoy making the little details feel thoughtful and welcoming.

We created The Bears’ Den as a place where families and friends can slow down, reconnect, and make lasting memories together—from quiet cabin mornings and days at Bass Lake to adventures in Yosemite.

This isn’t just a short-term rental—it’s our family cabin too, and we’ve filled it with the same cozy, family-friendly touches and comforts we want when traveling with our own family. We want our guests to walk in, settle down, and truly feel at home.

I’m always happy to answer questions, share our favorite local recommendations, or help make your stay a little more special.

We’re so excited to welcome you to The Bears’ Den and hope it becomes a place your family will want to return to year after year!
