Cozy cabin that can sleep more than it looks

Found this last second and it happened to be about 100ft from ny reunion. It was very clean and one of the nicer ones Ive stayed in at Revelles. Outside was clean and has friendly neighbors, checking in/out was extremely easy.

Cabin on the inside is quite lovely and very clean. Plenty of dishes. Did expect a bit more of the basics like salt and pepper and shampoo for the price but overall a very nice place.

Wonderful cabin for a getaway!

This cabin exceeded expectations-- we absolutely loved it! Perfect space for a couple and our dogs, though it would have easily housed a few more guests. I liked the peacefulness of the grounds and I felt like we had enough privacy. We didn't really have a plan for sight-seeing but we found lots of great hiking and scenic spots around. Would definitely come stay again in the future!

Had a blast!!

Overall great trip, cabin hosted 6 of us comfortably. The pictures of the cabin are a little misleading, it shows 2-3 sets of bunk beds when there is only one. There was a pullout bed under the bunk beds and 2 queens plus the couch so all 6 of us had our own place to sleep. Would definitely stay there again!!

Little Bear Bunkhouse

We had a wonderful stay at our cabin even though the weather was less than desirable. The campground was very nice and the store there had great hours with lots of items like milk, eggs, and other goods if we needed anything. It was close to many things in the area to do. We definitely want to book another trip in the future hopefully with a cabin with a hot tub. Even though the cabin was smaller there was plenty of room for all of us.

Love Black Bear Bunk House

Thank you to Catherine and her staff. The cabin is so cute and we loved the location. Thank you Catherine for the Happy Birthday glass and candy for our grandson. He said thank you! Both our grandsons loved the black bear. We will definitely return and recommend this cabin to our friends.

Better than I expected!

The house itself wound up being more than we were thinking it would be, which was a nice surprise. In my head I was expecting a cabin, but I'd really call it more of a cabin themed house. The only thing I wished was that it was a bit more private then it was, but in terms of its location in the campsite, it's sort of off to the side, which I was really happy about. We were able to enjoy the river, and the charcoal grill next to the house was great for our purposes. Overall I was very pleased with the stay, our group had a great time in the area hiking, and the check in process was easy. Thanks again!

Great get away

The cabin is always clean and well equipped, everything you need to enjoy your stay. The outside area as well -picnic table and chairs to sit around the fire. Owner even offered to set us up with fire wood. The campground is alway kept up and the staff are alway around if you need help. I have stayed in this cabin twice and have camp at other sites around the campground. I would recommend this campground to anyone. It’s a great place to stay to enjoy the river ( trout fishing in the spring and Kayaking in the summer, along with many attractions.

Wasn’t worth it for us.

Loft not usable because ladder is dangerous. Description was deceiving as it was smaller than we thought and definitely a stretch to sleep 9. Outside area needs attention, rather depressing. River was so low so there was nothing else to do.
