Nice cabin

Great stay, Friday was quite and peaceful, a good place to get out of the smoke.. Saturday night, kids showed up and where loud but quieted after dark.. was nice.. I think sleeping 6 would be extremely tough there and the ladder going to the loft would be scary in the dark as the pitch is wrong.

Get away from the daily hustle!

Great place to get away from our daily routines. Loved not having access to phone or internet in cabin. Kids took full advantage of paddle boats and kayaks. Beautiful views and local hikes.

Bears Den Stay

The cabin was rustic and in a scenic setting. It was very quiet and peaceful. The lake view was delightful. We were a little confused about the bed locations from the online listing and thought two beds were on the main level, but it all worked out for our stay. We enjoyed the boats that were available. We weren’t able to visit some lake locations because some bridges needed repair but enjoyed watching the ducks, geese, frogs and turtles. We were confused about how to find the location where Wi-Fi was available and weren’t able to find any signs for the location. Overall our stay was very pleasant and relaxing.

A Time Away

Just recently found this property and thought we’d give it a try for Labor Day Weekend. What a nice, relaxing weekend away!!! The cabin had everything we needed and Barb was available when things ran out!! Wi-Fi was available at the Gathering Place located on the property. I would encourage anyone from near and far to give this family run business a try!

Great Location

We loved our stay in Condon! The cabins are very rustic, and clean. It has the basic supplies you will need for cooking. They had paddle boats and canoes for the pond. Condon is a great location to explore the lakes and Glacier National Park. We definitely want to go back!

Peaceful

Thank you so much for sharing your home with us. This was such a relaxing stay with so much privacy. We loved taking the boat and kayak out. Beautiful surroundings and very nice “real” log cabin. Also thanks for taking the time to unlock our door when we locked the key in the house. Close to everything. And the lil grocery store was super close.

Great family retreat

If you are looking for a spot to unplug and have no distractions this is the place. Cute cabins that are spotless. Just bring your own food. There’s a pond that you can fish and swim. Grounds are very well kept. We had so much fun! Highly recommend. Gina Wiest

Pretty area.

It was in a very pretty area. We tried to go on a walk in the evening by the pond but too many animal droppings around so didn’t go far. Our morning walk on the road was better.

A rustic cabin in the woods.

The cabin was a bit worn but we enjoyed sitting on the front porch for hours and kayaked the 7 acre pond. No swimming. Lots of birds and even saw a cougar come to the water's edge. A quiet and peaceful retreat.

Great stay!

It was a fantastic stay in the Bears Den! Very spacious cabin which has all you need. What a location... far away from the main road and located with a view on a private lake. The owners provide kayaks and other boats to use on their lake. The owners are very kind and helpfull. I could really recommend to stay here!

Peaceful Cabin! Incredible views

We used the Elks Run cabin for the final two nights of our honeymoon. It was a very nice way to get away from the noise and unwind. Rustic cabin, great views off the porch. Shower, stove, fridge etc.... worked wonderfully. Lots of great fishing and hiking close by! Thanks a bunch!
