The space
BEAR PARK CABIN is a redwood 2 story, 2 bedroom, 1.5 bath home designed with a wood and granite interior. Included is a wood and ski storage room; a large wrap-around deck, all nestled in the trees. AND, includes its own park! Nothing like it! Inviting, with long stone pathways for you to casually stroll through the forest with an evening beverage, or morning coffee. Throughout the forest are gnome-homes, with many raised stone flowerbeds.
Seating areas: wooden Adirondack chairs; a log swing; a hammock; picnic table; and benches scattered along the pathway.
Wooden animal statues are found throughout the park, especially the protective life-size Mother Bear with two precious cubs at her feet! All hand carved.

WINTERTIME: the park is usually buried in snow, yet the wildlife occasionally come for a visit. We provide peanuts for you to feed the critters, like squirrels, chipmunks, and blue-jays.
Other wildlife visitors may stop by for a visit, including a family of moose; a fox; deer; rabbits; and maybe a small bear.
In the evening, trees throughout the park can be lit with a sparkling and colorful display. One feels like they're in a snow globe sitting in front of the crackling fireplace, looking out.

Access to trout fishing on one of two private lakes, nearby. Stocked multiple times yearly. Feel free to bring a paddle-board or other small watercraft.

Other things to note
Access to BEAR PARK CABIN is via Fall River Road. This is a two-lane paved county road, kept in very good plowed condition throughout the snow season. The journey up and down is beautiful, but can also be slippery in the winter months, so please drive carefully and obey the posted speed limits (35 mph in most areas). MOST IMPORTANTLY, 4-Wheel or All-Wheel-Drive vehicles (with SNOW TIRES or CABLES/CHAINS) are necessary to navigate Fall River Road in heavy winter conditions. It is recommended to book a rental car through "TURO" where you can request and be sure your vehicle will be equipped with SNOW TIRES!
