Description
Gentle Bear Lookout exudes a rustic charm, with a wooden interior, a fireplace centerpiece, and plush leather sofas for comfortable seating. Relax on the deck and take in the scenery and fresh mountain air. Gentle Bear is close to outdoor activities such as hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding. You can also enjoy fishing, kayaking, or canoeing on the neaby lakes and streams.
Although Gentle Bear has a rustic feel, it is equipped with modern amenities such as a Tesla charger, Wi-Fi, cable TV, and a fully equipped kitchen. After a long day of outdoor activities, relax and unwind in the hot tub. Or sit around the fire pit, enjoy a bonfire and roast marshmellows under the stars.
The open living room, kitchen, and dining room is a great space to relax after a day of exploring, cook dinner together, or watch your favorite movie. There is also a full size washer and dryer off the kitchen.
Through the dining room, you will find a screened in porch. Perfect for gathering without the bugs!
Where You'll Sleep:
Downstairs you will find a Queen bedroom with ensuite full shower/tub combo bathroom
Upstairs, a King bedroom with ensuite walk-in shower & Jacuzzi tub bathroom
The upstairs loft and downstairs living room both have a Queen pull-out sofa for addtional sleeping
The road to Gentle Bear is on an incline but is paved. The road turns to gravel when you pull into the driveway. Across the road from Gentle Bear, there is additional parking for a trailer.

The cabin is easy to get to and we found it just fine. The inside was clean, the kitchen was great and we spent a lot of time in the screened in area. The stay was great and comfortable and close to town, which is exactly what we wanted. All in all a good stay and I would stay again.

We had no interaction with any of the members of the staff. This is fine because we just wanted peace and quiet and privacy.

The property was in a very remote location which is exactly what we were looking for. There were not many neighbors and we had a lot of space for just the two of us. The cabin was very clean and stocked with everything that we could ask for.
