Loved the "Lake Life" at Red Bear Cabin!

We stayed at Red Bear cabin for 8 days and had a great time. The cabin is lake-front on beautiful Lake Glenville with a great view of the lake. The cabin is a bit older...but is perfect for a lake get-away. Plenty of bedrooms and baths for our family of six. The owners have lived in the area for many years and were helpful with anything we needed...Mike even help us line up a boat rental for the week. The cabin is about 5 miles from Cashiers and close to groceries, restaurants, marina, small shops, hiking trails, etc. In summary, we had a great relaxing week at Red Bear cabin and look forward to returning next summer.

Experience of a lifetime

We made the best memories here. The setting is majestic, the house is perfect. Views to lake unmatched. The house comfortable, and it is vintage. Sort of a time piece. Board games from the 70's, VHS tapes, cassette player and tapes. Loved every minute of it, and the house is super clean too. Mikee and Mark are the best hosts. They genuinely care. We had access to their friends' pontoon boat- the kids went tubing and had the time of their lives. Smores at the fire pit every night, grilled out day and night. Cannot recommend this place enough. Privacy, comfortable, and all around great time! Just minutes from downtown Cashiers too. Book it!!
