The Bear Creek Cabin is an amazing home in a wonderful secure community, and located perfectly to see all the sights in the region. Our family can't stop raving about the amenities, wildlife, recreation activities within the gates, local food, friendly neighbors, and breath taking scenery. The attention to detail in the home, and comfortable layout and furniture, made the stay even more relaxing and rewarding. We did not want to leave, and can't wait to return to the Bear Creek Cabin!
