We had a great stay at Bear Bottom. The property was very clean and easy to find. Our expectations were exceeded. We recently stayed at a similar cabin home in Gatlinburg, Tn and this cabin, Bear Bottom, blew the other out of the water. The overall build of the house is of high quality and is set up perfectly for a vacationing family. Spacious, Secluded, Private, Clean, Ammenities.

We rented this property for a family fall gathering. The house is magnificent and very clean and decorated beautifully. Everything we could need was there. The beds were very comfortable. And the property on which the house sits is absolutely gorgeous with the pond and walking trails. We would definitely rent this property again.

The house is beautiful! Highly recommend. Having stayed in many VRBO rentals, this was by far the cleanest. The house has everything you'll need. Our party of 10 consisted of ages 11-80. Perfect for everyone! The host has thought of everything, the communication was quick and easy and every question was answered. We will definitely be back! Can't recommend enough.

We rented this property for my son's wedding which was being held at Raystown Lake conference center. I needed a place that had an oven so I could bake the wedding cakes. The house was very impressive it was very clean, had everything you could want or need and beautifully decorated. The views were amazing off the deck. My husband who is a safety engineer was impressed with the attention and details of all the safety items there. We had a great time there while we didnt get to spend alot of time enjoying the sites or attracts there due to the wedding activities but are hoping to get to go back again to relax and enjoy the area. Thanks so much for sharing your home with us

Our family stayed for four nights and it was perfect. We loved the private and quiet location but still close to trails and Huntington. This home has a lovely deck that overlooks a small pond down the hill. We spent many hours in the rocking chairs looking out. All the bedrooms were comfortable and we slept well. The kitchen had everything we needed and we cooked all our meals there. The owner was very responsive and helpful when we had a question. Looking forward to staying here again next time we are in Raystown.

The property is located conveniently to all amenities at Raystown Lake. The pond on the property was a big draw and a big hit with the family. The size and layout of the home was perfect. We especially liked the wrap around deck, firepit area, and the game room in the basement. We would highly recommend this property and would stay again!

Once again, a wonderful experience!
This is our second time staying at Bear Bottom. Exceeded our expectations the first and managed to do so again. We have already agreed that this trip is going to become a yearly family get at together. We've already decided on a week in 2023. The home is spotless, perfectly maintained and stocked with everything you would need. Feels as though you are staying at a family members home with the level of detail and cleanliness. We have a seasonal slip at Raystown Resort and the location to both Seven Points and the Resort is ideal. Tons of games and activities. Private and well laid out. Can't recommend this property more, you won't be disappointed. Great communication with Lisa as well. Thank you!

I needed a place that was somewhat midway between Pittsburgh (where my parents live) and New York (where I and my immediate family lives) as I wanted my parents to spend some quality time with their grandkids. This spot was perfect, it especially ticked off my important requirement of having a bedroom on the main floor (as my parents have difficulties walking up and down stairs). As soon as we all arrived we were amazed at the beauty and cleanliness of the cabin. Everything was perfectly organized from checkin to checkout. Lisa was extremely responsive to any questions we had post and prior to us getting there. I would recommend it to any family looking for a luxury getaway.

I booked a stay for our family as an after the Holiday's getaway.
We were totally blown away. First off, communication with Lisa was great. She let us know everything that was needed with our stay and was available for questions at a moments notice. A handbook with instructions was readily available and everything in the house was well marked for our stay. Specific instructions on getting there because of GPS issues was perfect as well as specific instructions on the necessity of 4wd vehicles in the Winter months.........thanks for the heads up! It was needed. I urge this to be adhered to in the Winter months! I am sure that the Spring and Summer timeframe would be extremely enjoyable for outdoor activities!
The house was awesomely designed, clean and fit our families needs perfectly. It was the epitome of a Log Cabin Lodge style home. All amenities were modern and quite honestly, our stay was probably a bit too short. Thanks to Lisa and Mark for opening up their family home to us for a memorable stay. We will definitely want to stay in the future when we can get everyone together again!

A must to go place
This was our first time doing something like this and I believed we hit the jackpot, place is beyond clean having everything that’s needed for a wonderful experience.
Walmart is about 15 minutes away in case you need to do food shopping.
I would highly recommend this cabin.
