Your mountain adventure starts on the last half mile of gravel road approaching the cabin. For short spurts, the road is steep, bumpy and narrow. All vehicles can safely make the trip with some careful driving, but we recommend taking it very slow. If you're hesitant about the road, we have a video posted to YouTube of it. Search 'Drive to Lair of the Bear' posted by Restful Hideaways. After driving it once or twice, you’ll be able to handle it like a pro. We think you’ll agree that the solitude and views are well worth the journey!
We are here to ensure you have a wonderful vacation. We will do everything in our power to make that happen by quickly responding to whatever you may need. We are just a message away!
***Additional items to note:
A car is needed to access the cabin.
The indoor gas fireplace is available for guest use October 1 - April 1. Using it during times of the year when air conditioning is needed damages the AC equipment. The outdoor fireplace and firepit can be used year round.
When on the deck or porch, the highway can be heard in the distance. But while taking in the view, sharing conversation and listening to the sounds of the forest, you quickly forget about it.
Cable TV and local channels are not provided. All TVs are Roku TVs and can stream any app you have a subscription to.
