"Clean place, easy to navigate, comfortable bed."

"Wonderful historic inn in a beautiful valley. Warmly recommended!"

"The house is unique. It’s my first time to stay in a cabin and I really enjoy the specialties. It’s located on the top of the hill. The trees around the house. I can hear the birds singing. The river is down the hill. I picked up a few rocks for collection. The two horses are very friendly. It was amazing experience I had in the place. I will highly recommend to spend your vacation there. "

"We had a great time. But seeemed a little over priced for what it is. The place could be better if some more effort were put into it. But the owners are very sweet, and house has great charm!"

"Fantastic trip! Stayed 2 nights and wished we could stay longer! The cabin was very clean and comfortable. The property was wooded and so quiet. We didn't expect to wake up to snow and feel like temp of 7 degrees, but the cabin was warm, cozy, and dry. Will definitely recommend to others and will be back! Thanks for the memories Bear Cabin!"

"We have stayed in lots of B&Bs, but this lodge is the most beautiful we have ever seen. It is hard to describe how amazing it is and everything was just perfect. We loved staying here. The manager, Bobbie, was just so wonderful and we enjoyed talking with her, and her recommendations for places to visit were great. We felt at home here, and would very highly recommend staying here. We hope to return! 10 out of 10 all around!! "

"Great little spot right in the middle of it all. Not too close to the slopes but very convenient to the grocery store and restaurants. The friendliest staff; love Bowinkels!"
