We had read a couple of reviews about the cabin not being isolated. True, it is located in close proximity to other cabins. However, like with life’s distractions, we were still able to find enough solitude and beauty… with the help of the squirrels, birds, and a couple of visits by a fawn.
The only drawback of the cabin for us was the design. While the cabin was beautiful and well-constructed, the bedroom was open to the living room and the kitchen. I am an early riser, but my fiancé likes to sleep in. I had to move the coffee pot into the bathroom to minimize noise, and I had to try to be very quiet while inside the cabin.
Now, if a couple both likes to sleep in, or they are both early risers, this is not an issue. I did adjust and learn to appreciate the back deck and all of the early morning sounds.
I did have to contact the owners because of an issue which was totally my fault. I did what VRBO requests… I communicated through their app. I waited to hear back from the owners there and assumed they hadn’t answered. When I switched over to my personal e-mail, a response was there. There seemed to be a communication issue due to a glitch with VRBO.
That issue was resolved nicely by the owners, and, overall, we had a very nice stay. Really glad we visited Bear Den Cabin.
