About Little Bear Cabin
Little Bear Cabin was built in 1938 and still looks much the same as it did back then. It is available year-round for recreationists, as well as for those who seek a quiet mountain retreat.
The cabin can be accessed by vehicle during the summer and fall (June 16th - December 31st) weather and snow conditions permitting, but winter access requires snowmobiling or skiing 10 mi from the paved road.
Guests are responsible for their own travel arrangements and safety, and must bring several of their own amenities.

If you're looking for privacy and quiet, don't spend your money here. Many groups travel to the cabin's location to check it out, including looking in the windows and trying to go inside. There was a lot of trash left behind inside and outside of the cabin.

The place was a mess when we arrived. The last occupants left food downstairs and in the loft area. Dirt and ash littered the floor and there were the remains of exploded fireworks outside along with other trash. I am not a clean freak at all, but it looks like the place is being abused by irresponsible people. I expect the cabin to be dirty and rustic, but leaving food and shooting off fireworks are universally not something that should be done.
