Beautiful, quiet and cozy

My son and I were only able to enjoy our stay for two nights. We only wish it was a longer trip. Hopefully we can book here again for next year’s bike race. Added bonus: we got to make friends with a gorgeous, sweet cat that kept us company whenever we were walking around the property and hanging out on the porch.

Beautiful location in the woods!

There is nothing better than sitting in the hot tub under the stars at this picturesque cabin in the woods. We loved this cozy escape where we could look at birds and deer outside our windows. It was convenient to Wisp where we did 2 days of skiing and loved coming back to our cabin in the woods.

Amazing place to stay!

The property is set on one of the most beautiful areas I’ve ever seen. The only bad thing about the property was the cell phone reception. All though that was exactly what we were looking for was a distraction from the real world. The cabin was very clean as well one of the most amazing places we’ve stayed in a while

Anniversary trip

We had an absolutely amazing time, the property was perfect and secluded. Everything was clean and well maintained. We enjoyed two days of peace and quiet, they even put out bird food in a feeder right by the back door so we could watch them come and go all day long. Stargazing at night was unbelievable due to low light pollution! We definitely plan on coming back, trust me just book it.

Absolutely amazing place

We stayed at Bear's Den this past weekend for a ski trip and what a great cabin. Everything you need is right there, just take your own food and beverage and you're set. The hosts are wonderful people and will be sure to check on you from time to time to ensure you're safe. The snow does get deep in this area and the road crews do a great job of keeping the roads clear, but you definitely need a vehicle that can make it through. Be sure to follow the driving directions Laura sends you in your confirmation, GPS does not always work and cell phone service is weak if you have to call. I would definitely recommend Cranesville Country Rentals and look forward to going back.

A cabin in the woods on a farm

Laura is so kind and thoughtful! Stayed here with my 3 cousins for a weekend away from daily grind/bachelor weekend before the wedding at the end of the month. The groom to be is an outdoorsman and he was in his glory enjoying the great outdoors. It’s a fun scenic 25 minute ride to pretty much anywhere in Deep Creek as well. The 4 of us plan to return with our families soon. Laura has other cabins on her property and they all have what you are looking for if you prefer a more private stay than what you will find in town (Deep Creek).

Excellent Stay!!!

We stayed at the Bears Den 2-4 November 2018. We were there for about an hour and I was already thinking about when we could come back again. It is secluded and very peaceful. My wife and I had such a nice relaxing weekend. If you like being alone with nature this place is a must for you. And then you can drive 20-30 minutes to Deep Creek for activities if that's what you are looking for. We went to Deep Creek to the supermarket to pick up a few things. Other than that, we played games, watched a little TV and relaxed in the wonderful hot tub day and night under the stars. And did absolutely nothing else except enjoyed each other's company. The Owner, Laura was very pleasant to talk with and ensured we had anything we needed. We will definitely be returning to this cabin multiple times.

Prefect secluded getaway!

We enjoyed a beautiful weekend getaway at the Bear’s Den. The cabin was cozy, yet still had a spacious feel - great balance. Favorite part was stargazing in the hot tub overlooking the pond!

Private and peaceful

The Bears Den is a wonderful escape from the hustle and bustle of everyday life! The cabin was clean as a whistle and had everything you could need for a romantic getaway. The owner was courteous and quick to respond. We saw all sorts of wildlife and thoroughly enjoyed the peace and privacy that the cabin provided. Thanks again Laura for your hospitality!

Bears Den was peaceful bliss!

My husband and I enjoyed our much needed kid free vacay and this cabin, was the perfect setting. The home was well kempt, cozy and drenched with that woodsy home away from home feel your looking for. The wooden detailed interior is just perfect for relaxing on the couch and disconnecting. The outside if the home is the place to be! A porch to drink your fresh coffee, a view pouring onto a perfectly manicured front lawn and the long grass surrounding, drizzled with wild flowers. The hot tub equipped back deck is above the pristine stream fed pond, filled with wildlife from frogs to Heron. You'll also enjoy butterfly, fireflies, chipmunks, groundhog, deer and countless song birds. We highly recommend Laura, she keeps a beautiful, clean property and offers a little slice of heaven!

Are you ready to fall in love with this place?

My boyfriend and I stayed at this stunning cabin over Memorial Day Weekend and it was one of the most memorable cabins that I've ever experienced! The scenery was spectacular and the cabin clean and beautifully decorated. We utilized their hot tub which overlooks the lovely pond in the backyard and roasted some smores over the fire pit next to the pond. This place is quiet, secluded, and breathtaking. We'll be back again! ❤️

Family First Vacation to West Virginia

This was our family’s first visit to West Virginia and first mountain stay. The cabin was perfect for those looking to stay in the mountains and experience everything their beauty and exclusion have to offer. Nestled near many outdoor attractions that are a must see. The property was very well taken care of and relaxing. We were very delighted to meet the owner and get to know them, their backstories and general life in the area. They were very kind, caring , prompt if needed and even took extra time to suggest or introduce other activities near the property. Our family truly enjoyed our stay and trip, we plan to return to the property in the future. We honestly really want to have to leave.
