The Bear's Creek Retreat

Can you catch fish?
Fightingtown Creek, right out back, is known for its trout and fly-fishing mostly. A private dock and direct water access is ready for you!

Why is this cabin unique?

Originally a fishing cabin, built by a local family by-hand. Now, reimagined into a  welcoming cabin retreat, for you. Modern amentities with all the original single-story (no interior stairs) warmth and charm. And, home to the Bear Scavenger Hunt, and other bear-themed interactive activities.
