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.

This is probably my 4th year coming here. Love it and this year it was even cleaner and better organized then in years past. There is still some chairs etc that should be tossed but it’s way better. However since the cost per night has been increased substantially I feel I can be more critical.
The outhouse is a joke. It’s extremely old and we were there in January and it reeked! No lime or anything to subdue the odor. This just encourages people to defecate outside the outhouse. It’s disgusting and no one‘s gonna walk to the other one down the road so you should just put a nice one at the cabin. Either that, or don’t complain about the toilet paper that people leave here and there.

Cabin was in great shape, very clean. The wood stove is too small to adequately heat the entire cabin without the fireplace operable. Recommend up grading the wood stove.

Cabin was very clean on arrival. It has most everything you could possibly need.

A really fantastic spot that we’re lucky to have! Easy to access, and you’re near to a bunkhouse and a campground so you have company while still having privacy. A note that I looked high and low but couldn’t find the usual logbook and the refrigerator wasn’t working as best as I could tell. Just come prepared and understand that it’s a very well-maintained Forest Service cabin (that you play an important role in maintaining) and not an overpriced airbnb, and you’ll have a great time!
