We had a relaxing two night stay at this cabin. It’s nestled in the woods and was very welcoming. It was super clean and had everything that we needed. The extra bonus of deer made our trip even more enjoyable. We would love to stay at this property again.
We had a great weekend in Tafton at the cottage :) Not too far for groceries etc. and Promised Land State Park is just 15 minutes away. We’ll definitely be back!
Great cabin for quiet getaway! Had everything we needed and more. Location was perfect for the lake and local breweries. Saw deer at the cabin every day. I definitely recommend this cozy and comfy cabin and will stay here again!
The property was super clean, quiet and serene. We truly enjoyed our stay so much so that we booked again! The location is perfect we enjoyed the breweries and the beautiful lake. Anyone looking to escape should definitely check this location out!
The cottage was the perfect place for us, who were in the Poconos for a wedding. It was very clean, cozy and you can tell a lot of thought was put into making a great experience for their guests. We were greeted with sweet treats which was a pleasant surprise! I would definitely recommend staying here.

My 2 sisters and i booked this cabin as a fall foliage getaway and were not disappointed!! The Bear Den Cottage was very clean and well kept, beautifully decorated and a comfortable stay!! We will DEFINATELY plan a trip to stay next use!!!
We enjoyed our 5 days at the Bear Den. It was very relaxing, clean and comfortable and had everything we needed. We enjoyed using the fire pit and the grill outdoors as well. A true pleasure of the location was being surrounded by birds and bird song during out stay.
