Bear Lair: Luxe cabin, private lake, caves, trails, fast WiFi @ Bear Track Lake

Bear Lair, our first cabin, is a cozy, intimate lakeside getaway. We built Bear Lair to feature the best of all the cabins we had visited, and we strove to add aspects that would make a stay here unique and memorable. Given the proximity to Red River Gorge and the Daniel Boone National Forest, we made every effort to showcase how beautiful wood can be. This includes the unusual ceiling, the hardwood floors, and the white pine walls, as well as the owner-crafted cedar chest, counter, and bar. Our cabin is now equipped with up to 300 Mbps fiber optic internet. A favorite of guests is the 22-foot porch overlooking the lake. From the porch, you can fish, feed the fish (with provided fish food), or just sit and watch for the wildlife that regularly visits the lake. If you are lucky, you just might see a deer bringing her new fawn down for a drink! Besides the cabin, the property has many features that you'll get to enjoy while staying here. From the caves, overhangs, and cliffs to the beautiful trees and waterfalls, it's hard to imagine ever being bored at our cabin rental. We promise you will want to return. A boat or canoe can be rented in season (April–October) for an additional fee, pending availability.

Cute little cabin right on the lake. We didnt want to leave the cabin. They have fish and fish food and this was a routine with our morning coffee. So much to do at the cabin and property. The owner was nice. The cabin was clean.

Great Place with some nice perks

My GF and I stayed here while on a climbing trip for a few nights. we loved the vidbe of the cabin and all the perks to the location. Note the boat is $15 extra per day which we were not aware of. Deffinately reccomond renting the boat for at least a day. The lake was nice and the caves were a great bonus. Thanks Janice!

Beautiful and Relaxing

My boyfriend and I visited for Valentine’s Day and it was absolutely wonderful. We had a relaxing time and really enjoyed hiking in the woods. It’s a beautiful property and the owners take pride in keeping it up. Very clean and has everything that is needed to setup housekeeping for a few days or however long you are there. Definitely would like to visit again, once it gets warmer outside!

Relaxing vacation!

My husband and I stayed in this cabin over the Memorial Day weekend and holiday and it was a great, quiet area. The cabin was very clean and the kitchen was stocked well with pots, pans and seasonings for cooking. The Blackstone grill was a great amenity, too! Since the cabin is overlooking the lake, the host provided fish food and there is a boat that can be rented for your stay, also. The communcation with the host was great and was available if we had any questions. We were travelling in a Ford F150 and the parking was a bit tight so keep that in mind when choosing this cabin. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience here!

Delightful, clean secluded hide away

This is a wonderful little hideaway and just what we were looking for a weekend with our 2 daughter’s (7 and 9 yr). I loved the porch overlooking the water and my husband and girls enjoyed fishing on the dock and on the little motor boat. Wonderful little touches — fish/ turtle food that our girls loved throwing in the water, coffee, tioletries. The cabin was exceptionally clean. Thank you for the perfect spot to escape from our busy city lives! Highly recommend this property!

Perfect cabin retreat

Even better than described. The cabin was cute and supplied with everything you would need. Wifi worked great. Blackstone grill was a nice touch. The outdoor space was phenomenal -- decks on two levels and our own private fishing dock! (if anyone can get any of those HUGE fish to bite, tell me how!) We ate breakfast on the deck watching the fish and the turtles in the lake below. Just a beautiful view over the lake. Would love to book the bigger cabins and come back with more family & friends. Booking and check in was easy. 100% recommend.

A unique, amazing, fantastic place

We loved everything about the Bear’s Lair. We’ve stayed at many VRBO and Airbnb places and this might be the cleanest one yet. But the best thing is the place itself, which sits right on a small, beautiful lake. You could literally drop a rock into the lake from the balcony. There’s also a fantastic trail around the lake that leads you to several amazing caves and limestone arches that rival the ones in Red River Gorge. The place has everything you need, including plenty of kitchen equipment and even a wide variety of spices for you to use. The place isn’t large, but it’s laid out very well, and there are a variety of options for sitting by the lake. There’s even a huge picture window in the bedroom that looks out over the lake. It’s an amazing view. Like I said, we’ve stayed at lots of other places, so we have to be pretty impressed to write a review this positive. It’s one of our very favorites ever. Fred was extremely welcoming and helpful, too, so we give this place our highest recommendation.

Perfect peaceful getaway

This was the perfect cabin for me and my husband for the weekend. The cabin on the outside is “woodsy”. The cabin on the inside was white glove clean. The owners thought of everything. I loved feeding the fish right from the balcony with the fish food that was provided. Very well stocked. Far enough away from all the razors, side by sides and 4 wheelers that came in for the weekend but close enough to enjoy Natural Bridge. Check in and check out were a breeze. The owners promptly replied when I had questions. Wifi was pretty good. The scenery around the lake was beautiful. There were other cabins around the lake, but we felt like we were the only ones there. Very peaceful. Even though it rained we could still enjoy sitting and viewing the lake because of the covered deck with ample seating. The road and driveway were both gravel. There had been a lot of rain so it was a little muddy. The first morning we were there, the owner was out with his tractor and got the road in better shape to travel on. Lots of rain, but he was on-top of things. We will definitely rent this cabin again when we come back.

I really enjoyed my stay here

Like I said I enjoyed my stay, there is just a few things that I would have liked differently. I didn’t realize when booking that this cabin was so close to other cabins. I also would have liked to bed to be more comfortable coming from some with back pains. However overall I would stay here again but just bring a mattress pad
