The staff was very accommodating, we were upgraded to the 5 bedroom cabin. My grandkids had a great time playing on the grounds. There is a park very close to the cabins, and has a great bike path for the kids. I would recommend staying here.

Been coming to these cabins for over five years now. I usually bring my High School Cross Country team here, but this time it was just my family. Nice cabins, friendly helpful staff. Looking forward to when we return again soon

We stayed in a 2 bedroom cabin with a loft. The cabin was very spacious and had more beds than our family could use. The kitchen was well equipped with kitchenware to use; we made waffles on our first morning there. The staff was friendly. We especially enjoyed the desk and our cabin even had a back patio (we didn't use it). We will definitely be staying there again.

We had my 50th birthday celebration at Golden Bear Cottages the first weekend of October, 2020 and it was AMAZING. We reserved 12 cabins and Lisa was so amazing as we worked through all of the details of putting a big party together. All of our guests had such a great time and I am sure we'll be back. Here are a few of the highlights of this resort. - Lots to do - our group made the most of the "play area" - volleyball, basketball, ping pong, swimming, horseshoes and a playground. It was perfect for our daytime events on Saturday. - Rustic, great cabins - the cabins all feel like authentic mountain retreats. Comfortable furniture, stocked kitchens, working fireplaces and beds a-plenty. A little dark, but that's the feel of most cabins. - Wonderful group area - The group picnic area perfect for our Saturday night dinner and casino night. The resort allowed us have the fire pit going and the overhead lights were beautiful. - Great location - we were able to walk to the lake and easily get into town. I would highly recommend Golden Bear Cottages for a couple, family or large group party!…

My husband and I, selected the cozy (smallest) cabin Fuzzy Bear, and loved it! It’s close to the highway but the car traffic did not bother us. Being both retired, we travel during the week for short vacations/less crowded everywhere. We had a great time in a great location with great Golden Bear Cottages owner/staff; everyone was friendly. We enjoyed sitting out on the porch having coffee/tea or breakfast. It was nice to prepare our meals in the small but full kitchen that included coffee/condiments. The furniture/bed was comfortable, and the cozy cottage accommodated the two of us just fine. It was nice to have a fireplace for the cold nights. The location is a short walk to the lake and marina and we brought our fold up chairs for visits to the lake. The neighborhood around the lake was great for morning exercise walks. The cottage was rustic along with a few maintenance issues (reported) but very clean and neat, and we loved the floor (no carpet). No closet but hooks and a dresser/drawers that accommodated us just fine. We would return again and recommend the Fuzzy Bear Cottage for two.…
