The house design was inspired by our travels to the Alps of France. Wood touches throughout the cottage make it warm and welcoming.

Create lasting memories while sitting with friends and family outside at the fire pit, gazing at the unobstructed view of the night sky with almost no light pollution!

During the winter months snow accumulates on the roads, they are maintained however during or right after a storm they can be slippery until salted. Please plan to drive a front wheel or 4 wheel drive vehicle.

Our hot tub is serviced weekly by a certified technician. The hot tub is generally in very good condition for our guests to enjoy. Periodically our cleaning team or a guest will find the tub needing service in between the weekly service visits. (Typically, this happens when a prior guest does not follow our spa guide and the water becomes discolored, low on water, etc.)
Our technician lives in the area and can come to service the spa within 24hrs. For this reason, we cannot guarantee or warrant the condition of the spa.

Fall hiking trip
The cottage was perfect for us. There is a nice trail not far from the house. We enjoyed relaxing in the hot tub each day after several wilderness hikes. Beds were comfortable and kitchen nicely equipped.

Great stay - would definitely recommend
We enjoyed our time at Sitting Bear cabin. It had everything we needed plus a great location. It is close to many great hikes. We cooked most of our meals during our stay, and the kitchen was well supplied. We enjoyed the large fire pit. The hot tub was great. Very clean. We would definitely return for a future stay at this cabin.

Lack in cleanliness, snake in the house!
Cleanliness was not thorough. Spilled food in the refrigerator, dried food on the oven mittens. Shams were ripped on queen bed, and the sheets are very poor quality, we had to go out and buy sheets. Grass was very long, couch was VERY uncomfortable. It caused neck pain. The shower in the master bed is very poorly designed and makes showering uncomfortable and awkward, as well as the toilet room. The main reason why we will not return to this property is because a snake came into the house thru the fireplace, while we were relaxing one evening. I immediately notified the owner and as of yet I have not received a reply. The cabin is dog friendly, WiFi is good, and the property manager did respond quickly to any questions I had. However, the owners never addressed or apologized for the snake incident. My mom is extremely scared of snakes so the experience with the snake put a huge damper on our trip. I can’t recommend this property due to the lack of being throughly clean (attention to details) and having a snake come into the house.

The cabin was lovely. A great location to many nearby attractions. Cabin was spacey with a well stocked kitchen and plenty of hot water for bathing. We enjoyed the rustic surrounds and large yard space with fire pit. Beds were comfortable and living area was spacious. Easy check in and check out.
