Great creek side cabin
This is a very nice cabin, roomy and clean, convenient to many great locations for shopping, antiques and wineries. Penn Creek is nearby as are State Game Lands and State Parks. We had a great time and Brenda was excellent at communications.

Weekend Family Retreat
We had another lovely visit to the Bear Den. We first visited in 2106 and loved it, so when we made our plans for another quick trip to visit family we didn't hesitate to book again. This trip was shorter, but the cottage still met our needs. The kitchen is well equipped and the beds comfortable. The cottage is tastefully decorated and provides a nice place to relax and visit. Thanks so much for sharing your property with us again.

Winter Fun in the Bear Den
We had our 2nd great stay at the Bear Den in Penns Creek. Our family stayed in this home in August and had a wonderful family vacation. My parent and I returned for a stay in the home to visit our son who is attending Bucknell University. Our 2nd stay was just as cozy and comfortable as our first stay and we are glad to have found this gem in the woods near the river.
