Beautiful location and home, very comfortable for our group of 6. The home had everything we needed, plenty of towels for use, the hot tub was clean and ready for use, the beds were comfortable, and the rooms had plenty of space. The kitchen was perfect, my husband, who is a chef, was so happy to cook for our whole group there! The game room/theatre was perfect for karaoke night with our group! Closest were roomy and had plenty of hangers, making everything super convenient. They had games available, which we definitely used, and everything we needed for our stay. The area had some great farmers' markets and different spots to hang out that were perfect for our vacation time, but the cabin area was so nice that we really loved hanging out there and just staying in the hot tub since the weather was perfect for it and the view was outstanding (with plenty of deer!). Would definitely recommend and would book again for sure.

We had another great stay at The Bear Necessity! We got to relax and unwind whether we were watching the Olympics or watching the sunset from the hot tub! Can’t wait to come back again!
