The Bear’s Den was exactly what we needed. A cozy cabin in the quiet outskirts of town. Plenty of daylight but nestled in the shade, which gave us a much-needed respite from the heat. The hosts were welcoming and very helpful and the cabin was well-provisioned and included some wonderful treats (baked goodies, coffee, etc) and our dog loved the many dog beds provided both within and outside the cabin. We would definitely stay here again, and highly recommend.

This cabin was nice and quiet, well-stocked, and close to Nelson and Sproule Creek Trail. Dog-friendly, and my dog loved it.

Perfect Stay

Everything about our stay was perfect. The cottage was like described but even a little better. Aric and Meesh were the best hosts and left very thoughtful treats for our stay. Can't wait to come stay again and visit Nelson in the summer.

The Bear Den is a great no so little house and had everything we needed: kitchen well equipped, comfortable beds, a sunny living room, a choice of dog beds, a room to store our gear and an air hockey table! Our hosts were outstanding! We were welcomed with goodies and tips on the area, even some useful food items when we start a long stay… and doggie treats. They checked regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. All in all, a convenient location to do all kinds of activities as well. Merci!

Awesome Stay

Stayed in the cabin for a week. The hosts are awesome and so was our stay. The cabin is in a great location and had everything a person needed to be comfortable. Pet friendly and a pet friendly neighborhood too. The bonfire pit on the front lawn was so much fun. Thanks guys….I’ll be back for sure!

A perfect private retreat

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay! The cottage was a great size and the little nice touches really welcomed us - like a soft light in the bedrooms, the porch lights and fresh grapes! Aric and Michelle were so friendly and welcoming and had great recommendations on where to dine in Nelson. I loved seeing the wild turkeys on the lawn in the morning! You've got a winner of a place!

Granddaughter's Wedding

Lovely place. Comfortable, homey and so many extras! We were so busy with all the wedding activity, but we did take a little time for our morning coffee, watching wild turkeys on the lawn. Highly reccommend the Bears Den. Thank you watchingbthe wild turkeys.

Bears Den Gettaway

This place is just as described. A rustic cottage that has been updated and that is clean and comfortable. Many games to play for kids and adults. It’s only a few minutes drive into Nelson. The owners have great and easy going communication. They also supplied the cottage with little amenities to make traveling easy. We would definitely stay here again for a future visit.
