What Our Guests Say About Us

We Love the Bears Den!
My entire family stayed at the Bear’s Den for our wedding, and it was very memorable. We had such a great time. The quality of the cabin was more than we expected, and my family loved every moment. The house was huge and well worth every penny.

A Relaxing Birthday Weekend
The office staff at MVCR were professional, personable, courteous, and responsive. The cabin was clean, and all the necessities were available. We were close to town, yet far enough away to enjoy listening to the sound of the river and the feeling of ease it brings. I went for a relaxing birthday weekend.
