The house was clean, comfortable and really well equipped. We loved the hot tub the two nights we were here. We wished we had planned a longer stay as we didn't have an opportunity to use the beautiful brand new gas grill, the firepit, the corn hole, the poker table setup or the pool table. It's a great house and communication with the host was very good. ##### Anita and Jim C. Stayed 2 nights in Nov 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Neil M.

This home had SO much space for the reunion of my family members. It is also very well stocked as far as pots, pans and anything you need in the kitchen (aside from food & pantry items). We were there during very hot weather so we didn’t get to take advantage of all the amenities this house had to offer (fire pit, cornhole). We did, however, truly enjoy the pool table and overall layout of the house. The ONLY questionable thing to mention is that the home has 3 great levels and 1 thermostat .. the 3rd floor was a bit warmer and the basement area was chilly; just a heads up. Thank you for sharing your wonderful home. ##### Peggy B. Stayed 4 nights in Jul 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Austin P.

Aug 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy Bear's Retreat was the perfect getaway spot to explore the Raystown Lake area and spend quality time with family and friends in absolutely stunning surroundings. The house itself was definitely spacious enough for a large group and was enjoyed by all, from blowing bubbles on the deck with a 5 yr-old after a day swimming with fish at Tatman's Run Beach to a 62 yr-old hustling everyone else at pool in the rec room. Having a second fridge in the kitchenette in rec room was a huge plus for a large group! The host was very responsive through booking and the stay. We would absolutely stay here again! ##### Bethany N.
