My kids and I plus our dog felt right at home for our spring break vacation. We loved the hot tub and the gaming items in the basement! Very spacious and great place to bring your fur baby:)

We are very grateful to have spent a few relaxing days enjoying David’s cabin. It really felt like a home away from home. The kitchen was really well stocked and the coffee bar was a treat for the coffee obsessed in our family. The screened porch with fire feature was my favorite place to read in the evening with a glass of wine. The hot tub was well maintained and very clean. Each evening, the dear came meandering across the property and it so fun to see them up close. These little touches made our stay feel extra special!

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.

David’s place was fantastic. Super comfortable couch and King size bed. It had everything we needed. The location is perfect and we were able to see deer twice a day which we loved. The attached doggie run is great if you are traveling with a dog. David is super nice and very responsive which made our stay so much pleasant. Definitely recommend David’s cabin!

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!

David was very responsive and nice. He is the poster child of what a host should be. The place is beautiful, great location, wonderful amenities and it has all you need. Toiletries are enough for a weekend and there are plenty of options to get what you need within 10 minutes (Ingles, Publix, etc). The area is quiet, peaceful and although we could not use much of the outdoor facilities (we were there during the ice/snow storm), you certainly can enjoy a quiet afternoon sitting in the balcony or around the firepit. We definitely will return and highly recommend it.
