Family time
The house was neat and clean. There was plenty of room for everyone to move around and feel comfortable. The bedrooms were very nice. The only issue was the dirt road leading to the house. It’s not for the faint of heart. LOL Our visit was enjoyable. Thank you to our host and cleaning staff.

Awesome Family Getaway!
Our family had a wonderful stay this October. The property was clean, and our host was terrific and quick to communicate. We loved having the opportunity to grill, stargaze in the evening, and sit around the fire pit. Thank you for a fantastic experience!

Family Fun Weekend
The property was just as described! Comfy and roomy, a great place for our family get away. The bedrooms with a queen bed in each were perfect for the five couples in our group. The kitchen was well-appointed with everything we needed for cooking meals. We really enjoyed the campfire area too and spent a couple evenings there. Overall a great place!!

Relaxing time in the mountains
We enjoyed our stay at Bears Den Cabin. It was very comfortable and well furnished-- so nice not to have to bring much along with us. We are an outdoorsy family so enjoyed the proximity to hiking, waterfalls, mountain swimming holes and the river for kayaking/tubing. We also enjoyed being a short drive to Harrisonburg (JMU), New Market, Luray Caverns, and Monticello (Charlottesville). We enjoyed dinners out in local restaurants and ice cream/mini-golf/go-karting afterwards before heading home to the cabin to rest/recharge for another day.

About the host

Host profile image
My husband and I live in Virginia Beach, VA...just a few hours away from the cabin. We have always wanted a place to escape to in the mountains and we found it at the Bears Den. We fell in love with the serenity and quaintness of the area and wanted to own this beautiful cabin from the moment we walked in the door.

We are always looking for ways to improve the property and make it exactly what a guest would want for an unforgettable get-a-way. Since purchasing the cabin, we have built a brand new deck on the lower level, upgraded the downstairs bathroom and renovated the fire pit area (among many other smaller projects).

We try to head up to our retreat every couple of months and always have a hard time leaving to come back to reality! We also love bring along our family and friends and always make lasting memories during our stays. Some of our favorite moments is watching the sunset over the mountain while we enjoy enjoy a cocktail. And, of course, the hot tub is a magnificent place to relax while gazing at the stars! We couldn't have dreamt of a better place to escape to.
