About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire cabin to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Just 1 mile from Natural Bridge State Park!

This adorable cabin is for small to medium groups and has all the amenities of a big cabin. It's cutely furnished and decorated. After a day hiking and exploring, sit on the deck and enjoy the view. One, well trained pet is allowed with payment of pet fee.

Major amenities include: Two Satellite Flat Screen TV's, Game Room, Slate Pool Table, outside decks and balcony, Two Charcoal Grills, and a 5-person hot tub.

This cabin is 2 stories. The upstairs Main Living Room has Brand New Leather Sofas, a 46'' Flat Screen Satellite TV with inputs for Game console, computer, etc. Kitchen and dining table join the main living room. Two private bedrooms each with a Queen Bed. One bedroom has a private balcony for taking in the fresh mountain air. Both share one full bathroom with a tub/shower combo.

The downstairs is a Game Room has a Slate Pool Table, Flat screen Satellite TV, and large windows to take in the scenery while staying cozy and shooting pool. The Game Room also has a queen bed and has an adjacent full bathroom. Please be considerate of our pool table by never: setting drink glasses down on it, using it for dining or beer pong, or attempting to move it so everyone can enjoy it.

Outside is a large Deck Built around trees providing unique natural shade, two Charcoal Grills, Fire pit, and Covered Porch on the Main Level for those drizzly days.

This cabin sits in vicinity of Grizzly Cabin and the Black Bear Lodge. Great opportunities for family reunions or large group activities if more than one cabin is desired.

Phone Signal is spotty in the area Bear Cub is located so plan accordingly if coordinating with members of your group. Usually a short walk outside of the house or towards the end of the driveway is enough to get connected. Wi-Fi is not offered at Bear Cub, Black Bear Lodge, or Grizzly Cabin at this time.

A well trained pet is welcome with a pet fee. VRBO doesn't add the pet fee, so an additional $55 will be added to the total for reservations with pets.

Pets may not be left alone at the property unless they are kenneled.

Nice family trip

I guess we expected a bit more secluded, but it still a nice quiet area. We did not notice when booking that it doesn't have wifi, which actually turned out to be nice. All in all, it was a nice property. Don't expect a 5 star hotel, but it was great for us being on a budget.

Location of property was great. Close to attractions & hiking trails in the area. If you are planning to cook meals onsite may want to bring your own pots & pans. There were 2 12 inch fry pans & 1 sauce pan, & 1 glass cake pan. Not really enough to cook a full meal. Oven was dirty. Owner was notified of oven condition upon check out. If not going to be cooking won't be a problem. Did not use hot tub so cannot speak to it.

Wonderful place!

We enjoyed our stay immensely! The cabin was clean and well equipped. Excellent location! Close to Miguel’s Pizza which was excellent! Princess Arch and Chimney Top are the easiest out and back hikes with spectacular views. Our only complaint is that the pictures showed a fooseball table in the living room (which, granted, would have made it feel quite crowded as well as being loud… still, we booked partly for that) and it was gone. There was, however, a brand new hot tub which was fabulous!

Love bear cub!

Love this cabin and the ease of booking and check in. Don't usually review but wanted to give a shout out to whoever built the deck AROUND the existing trees. Most would cut the trees out of the way, but they worked around the trees and cut a hole in the deck for the trees to grow through. Would highly recommend this place for anyone staying in the gorge and will definitely return.

Lack of reliable Internet/wireless / Cabin mildew smells

Check in was supposed to be open to 8 pm but they were closed by 5 pm and poor Internet/cell made it difficult to call them or learn how to pick up the key. There was Wi-Fi in the cabin but it was VERY intermittent. Have all of your information printed out in advance. The cabin had a strong mildew smell, especially in the lower level.

Location was great, but it was clear that there was a mouse problem. The cabin didn’t seem clean at all and the kitchen was not well equipped with even the basics to cook with, the oven and burners both smelled bad when trying to use them, I found later it was bc of mouse poop

nice place, convenient location

The property is not fancy but quite functional and clean, with more than enough room and comfortable sleeping spaces for a typical family, everything worked as it should. No laundry but we did not need it for a weekend visit. There are stores near by and a good Mexican restaurant, and the location is close to the local attractions . Cell phone reception is very poor and there is no WIFI, which I think would be a significant improvement that should be considered. The gravel driveway is fairly steep and could be a bit challenging for a front wheel drive car. Overall we are happy with our stay and we would go back in the future.
