Great host, made it very easy for us. The house was perfect for our family weekend, with separate rooms for each kid, and a Master upstairs. Lots of room on the main floor for spending time playing games, cooking, etc.

Very nice quiet location.

This was a very nice and quiet place to stay. Very clean and well kept. Very close to walking trails along the river. Within walking distance of DISH at Dover Bay restaurant on Lake Ponderay which was excellent. Would definitely stay here again.

Great Value with Excellent Location

We really enjoyed our stay at the "Bear's Den." We were pleasantly surprised at the location being so close to the lake. We all enjoyed walking or jogging each morning on the extensive surrounding trails. The area was perfect to be able to visit family in Priest River and Kootenai.
