What Guests Are Saying
Bear Creek Cabin is a charming, well-stocked cabin with a historical feel, located in a beautiful area with easy access to multiple trails. Although it was clean, some basic supplies like toilet paper and dish soap were missing, and the kitchen utensils were limited. The wood stove is less effective for heating in winter, requiring guests to sit close for warmth.

The cabin was clean but previous renters did not fill the wood box or cut kindling. There are only two forks (one plastic) and 5 spoons in the cabin. The road was well maintained by Madison County. The cabin needs TP and dish soap.

Beautiful location within steps of several trails for varying ability levels. Only complaint is that the woodstove does not do a good job of heating the cabin in the winter - had to sit close to the stove to keep warm if I wanted to take my coat off inside.

Overall, it exceeded my expectations. Recent snow storm helped fill our snow craving. Signs at nearest trailhead noted that the wildlife management areas are closed during certain times of the year (winter), so look into that before you plan to hike.

Due to lack of snow the cabin was very accessible. The cabin was clean, at least swept. There are only two forks, a cabin that accommodates 4 should have at least 4 forks. Lots of fire wood was avaliable and wood boxes were full. The only problem was odor from something dead in the crawl space. When the cabin warmed up we detected the smell. We have have used this cabin many times and will continue to in the future.
